Things that made me happy and/or amused:

• Pretty art by Minami Haruka


• (English) TezuRyo fics:
  
  Two Princes by Poi, in which the two are princes. Snarky and fun.
  
  Forte fic by Kish, in which they are pianists. Subtle and gorgeous.
  
  Waiting Is by cimorene is just incredibly good. *_*
  
  Fool's Paradise by Ria is full of dream sequences, the confusion of reality and fantasy, and truelove.
  
  for thine eyes are glass, and this my shattered heart by Ria has a old married couple-ish TezuRyo, and a Tezuka that talks to Karupin. How is that not love?


• The idea that people are reading fics through regender, which will change pronouns and names (say John to Joyce or Elizabeth to Elias).


• The Once and Future Warning ( everyone who reads/writes fanfics should read this)


• Tampon ranting


• Japanese Ouran fics. I seem to have become a Kyoya/Tamaki fan before I realized it. XD Most of the sites sucked, but I did find several very squee-worthy ones:
  
  White Butterfly
  The site just opened, so it only has two fics. But they both have a lovely dry Kyoya POV.
  
  LEMONed　I　Scream
  I really like Together. Digustingly shojo, but so so pretty.

  Joues roses. - 薔薇色の頬: That sweet, awkward time afterwards.

sharing some random music

A Perfect Sky by Bonnie Pink
Sounds like a song right off her last album. Fun and bouncy.

Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Utada Hikaru
A live version, very different from the original Green Day.

Come by Amuro Namie
I had heard this song on the radio a million times, never knowing the song or the artist (I can't believe I didn't recognize the artist!). I randomly downloaded it and was delighted to find out it was the mystery song that had lodged itself in my head! It's also the 7th Inuyasha ending. Disgustingly addictive song, I like the lyrics too.

Until I Say and Tobira by Rie Fu
Until I Say is the single, which is a very typical slow-paced Rie Fu. I like Tobira, one of the b-sides, better. It's just a very pretty song.

Guilty Beauty Love is the song sung by Tamaki's seiyu Miyano Mamoru from Ouran. It's from the recently released soundtrack + character single album (which I had ordered, so I hadn't been on the lookout for it online...but since I happened to see it I figured why not?). I wasn't sure if this guy could sing, but he's not bad. And it's a nice song. I have a terrible feeling I'm going to get addicted to it...
