insanenekoI was thinking about Hakkenden volume 5 and how hot eyepatch!Sousuke was, and it occurred to me that he reminded me of Naoe from Mirage. You know, the outwardly nice, gentle, caring guy who inwardly couldn't give a damn about anyone else except that one person they are fixated on. I want to say Sousuke isn't quite as psycho as Naoe (because seriously? Naoe is mad mad mad mad mad) but he is not in any way balanced or normal. And this pleases me greatly because I derive much happiness cackling over insane obsessed freaks that fool people into thinking they aren't insane obsessed freaks...

likeviolins is a PoT TezuRyo AU with the characters participating in a Model UN conference. Frankly, the writing style was hard to get through...But the snipping between delegates was really fun to read. And that last exchange between Tezuka and Ryoma!
Lately been seeing much mention of 20th Century Boys by the artist who did Monster....While Monster would probably fall under the "not my cup of tea" category, this one intrigues me. Wish one of my RL friends owned it so that I could mooch off them and read hard copies...
I was attempting to put some of the many books/manga I have strewn around the house when as usual I started reading one of those very books I was supposed to put away (rather than read for a while and place in some other place in the house that's not the bookcase). It was Gerald and Jack by Yoshinaga Fumi, and I wanted to share the line that is high on my list of totally sappy declarations of love that somehow manage to make me melt into a puddle of goo: 「愛しいジャック、お前が死んだら生きてはいけない程お前を愛してるよ。俺がこの世に生きているのはもうお前のためだけだ。だから生きていてくれ。お前が呼吸をしているだけで俺は胸がつまる程幸福な気持ちになれる。」Especially that last sentence. XD
(Is this line atypical in Japanese comics? I just had to make up my own punctuation because there were NONE PROVIDED at all and otherwise it'd be one long run-on!)
A podcast I listen to profiles a job in each episode. The most recent one was on a "wallet carrier." This guy carries a very rich man's "wallet" (which includes paper copies of his stocks and a laptop to connect to the internet) around (to the tune of $500,000/yr!!!). When he said he slept in a "closet" that's more the size of a small bedroom adjoining his employer's room so that he can be woken up at 2 AM to bring his employer his credit card to buy some random thing, all I could think was that the situation would make a great BL novel. I think I need to read something else for a change...^^;
Sushi for kitties! I love Etsy...People are so creative. XD
