Ok, before going any further it should be said that I don't mind "Love Hina". Watching Keito (?) get into risque situations with the girls from the house can inspire some giggles from me. However. In last issue of the manga magazine I get sent to me, they introduced a new manga. "Negima" something or the other. What puts me off it is that, when the main character (a young boy) sneezes, he rips/tears off not only the outer clothing of a teenage girl, but also her underwear. To smithereens. At one point this happens in front of a male adult (whom she just happens to have a crush on). I can't laugh at that. It's just distasteful to me. Feel free to throw about the "prude" word or whatever. *wipes away the image of a raging old lady, shaking her spiked walking cane, off of the black board and replaces it with a non-descript face that looks unimpressed* Not tearing my hair out over it, but seeing Love Hina being replaced by something like that is a little bit disheartening *shrugs* _________________ Whilst I was having breakfast yesterday, my mom came home from getting her hair cut and began telling me something that had happened. The way she started off made me think she'd either been hit by a car or seen someone else being hit by one. Luckily that wasn't the case. Though she was injured. A patch of ice hadn't been sanded over and a thin layer of snow dust had settled over it. She slipped forward, fell fast and landed hard on the ground. Both of her hands got the full impact, while her knees got the rest. At first she was in shock so the pain wasn't too bad. By the time she got home an hour later, it had gotten worse, her right hand pretty much immobalized. Unfortunately I had an appointment with my homeopath, which was impossible to cancel, so I did whatever could be done before heading out with quite the guilt trip for company. It didn't feel right at all to leave her alone, worrying about something happening with no one nearby. But she insisted I go. To make up for it I bought some goodies and pampered her for the rest of the day. Though only after she promised to go have it x-rayed! Dad took her and after a loooooong wait for getting the x-ray, along with an equally long wait for a doctor to give her the results, they told her that it didn't look fractured. Said informant wasn't as trained as the doctor who's usually there (during work hours) so they said she'd be notified if he thought otherwise. Her right hand was sprained, though, so she got it wrapped up by a nurse and cautioned to take it easy for a week or so. Mom, being the optimist, thought that it'd feel better - given a day or two of resting - and figured she wouldn't have to call in sick for the job that demands her body to be in perfect order (due to heavy lifts and other physical labour) to be able to work. Her body sent a loud and clear message today, which did the trick more than the protests from both dad and I. Other than causing pain and being a general nuisance for mom, the injury did sport a problem regarding today. She was meant to be going with my younger sister to a doctor but it would've been a real hassle with the busses and such for her on her own. Cue Mimms the Assistant Hero! Casting aside the feeling of being worn out to the point where it's difficult to stay awake, I went along and made it as smooth as possible for her. It was the least I could do, short of making the pain go away. Which obviously isn't in my power. Aside from getting to see Juliette and Eleine, there was also some shopping thrown in the mix :p Now we're home, safe, sound and very tired. So I'll talk about "The Island" tomorrow. I'll probably have seen one or two more movies by then that can be added. Ah the perks still in play from having worked at the video store. It means you can put the cost of the rental on your "tab" and pay later, without feeling any embarrassement for neglecting to take your wallet with you and still rent two movies you can't wait until tomorrow for =] Blackjack: Hearing people's theories about anything is interesting, until you notice just how much effort they've put into it and that glazed over look in their eyes >> Poor Angelina isn't getting any love from us. She'll have to settle with Brad's. Evil: >:o You're gorgeous and that's that. *takes your money and burns it on cows* Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, Ewan is always enjoyable =) John: *coughinbreedingcough* Alan: OOoooooo, now that's a sweet idea. I like it better than the one that guy presented >> Liam: *laughs* It gives them something to do, I suppose. Much like getting lost in activities such as video games or tinkering in image programs ¬¬;;;; Charlie: XD!!!!!!!!!!! That's really all I can say on the matter =) Slick: :o Tell me more about these "Sharp movies" you speak of, pwease? And if you know of any other [good] movies he's in, share! I need to expand my Sean Bean repertoir :3 Becksicle: But why would it be editted for --- *thinks back to the highway chase and purrs* --- uhm, it sucks when they do that =( *skips after to steal huggles*! Sara: Mhm. He's one fine scape goat. Ignoring the fact that he's already got a real name and an online nickname, we need to name his scape goat persona. Any good ideas?
