Even if no one else is watching this show AT LEAST I STILL HAVE [livejournal.com profile] fiendery.

Episodes 10-12, reposted from comments to Eru's blog )

Episodes 13-14 )

P.S.

Tsubasa Resevoir Chronicle Chapter 159: WHY SO CONVOLUTED. Spoiler, highlight to read:

So Fai's first curse is that he must kill anyone powerful enough to undo the curse he's under, and his second curse is that he must aid and escort Princess Sakura until she reaches Clow Country, and kill anyone who might impede them -- including Syaoran and Kurogane (note emphasis is CLAMP's not mine)?

This...actually makes sense? As a workable Fei Wong Reed plan, I mean. What's throwing me off is the way CLAMP keeps putting the emphasis on Fai's trauma, as if the reason Fei Wong Reed chose these particular curses was to torment him. That wouldn't make sense since, Dreamgazer or no, there was no way Fei Wong could have known that Fai would become as attached to Syaoran and Kurogane as he did.

I really love that Kurogane was supposed to be Fei Wong Reed's pawn as well, but Yuuko intervened (though Tomoyo) and now he's Yuuko's pawn. I mean, just think about how Kurogane feels about Yuuko. *g*


In conclusion, all signs point to advance planning (was anyone besides [livejournal.com profile] v_voltaire interested in a community for re-reading Tsubasa at the rate of, say, two volumes a week?) but unnecessarily confused reveals sometimes obscure this fact.

Coming down with performance anxiety in the case of school papers was bad enough, why am I worrying about the literary value of livejournal posts?! Note to self, knock it off.

I'm in New Jersey right now trying to iron things out with Rutgers University. If all goes well, I'll finish up my degree here in the Fall. (Latest Status of Degree: After this semester I'll be two credits short. Two natural science credits. Arrrrrrggggggh!)

Books read: Nine. More on this later.
Movies seen: Two (Daywatch, Ratatouille) so far with another (Transformers) coming up on Wednesday. Looking forward to finally meeting [livejournal.com profile] asprosdrakos in person!

Daywatch: The second movie in an epic fantasy trilogy and I wonder whether not having seen Nightwatch actually made this movie better. The basic plot is that there are two kinds of supernatural beings living in our world, one side (the "Dark" ones) is made up of Vampires and Witches and the like while the other side (the "Light" ones) is made up mostly of Psychics, Seers, etc. The two sides were at war many, many years ago, but sometime around the Middle Ages they struck a truce, and have been uneasily at peace ever since.Read more... )

In conclusion, Daywatch-the-movie is awesome and I totally recommend it.

Ratatouille: I talked to Julie before I saw this and she assured me that it didn't do the "because you are a human, it's all right for you to profit from the hard work of a lowly rat" thing. And boy was she right. ^^; Ratatouille really doesn't do that at all. I thought it was cute and that the characters were endearing and that the rats were well-animated, and I loved the ending, even if it would never work outside of a family movie.

Theater report: the kids all loved the rats and the adults all loved Anton Ego, the food critic. ^^; He was hilarious. His room looked like a coffin from above.
