Listening to: "Open Up Your Mind" - MIRAI I felt the urge to post b/c I've watched a lot of really good anime lately. First off, Howl's Moving Castle totally rocked! Miyazaki rules, and now I want to read the book, which I heard was even better. Considering what I'm going through, I could relate to the struggles of both Sophie and Howl, who IMO looks better w/ dark hair. Actually, to think of it, I could pull of a Howl cosplay w/ my current hair length. I am so in love w/ him even though I think Sophie is perfect for him. Christian Bale has such a sexy voice! Anyway, Calcifer stole the show w/ his one-liners. It's Billy Crystal right?
Tonight was the 1st meeting of anime club. Turnout was great, and I think I've made a friend along the way. I'm not the token girl anymore, but that can change later in the year. Here's what we're watching (and my impressions):
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - Major Kusagnagi is my hero and I want a Tachikoma. Nuff said.
Gungrave - Action sequences seem a bit out there, but Brandon Heat is cool. His past seems straight out of an S.E. Hinton novel so I dig the angst.
Onegai Teacher - Not as bad as I thought. Although the alien teacher thing is ridiculous, there were some funny moments.
D.N.Angel - Most people probably found this confusing, but since I knew the back story, I enjoyed it. I need my winged bishounen fix. ^^
Quote of the day:
"Out of life's school of war: What does not destroy me, makes me stronger." - Friedrich Nietzsche, The Twilight of the Gods (I need to actually find this book or anything else by Nietzsche b/c I agree w/ a lot of what he has to say, which often graces quotation websites).
I'm back...for now
