I Will Survive!
I'm sick T_T I got to go home early from work today. The assistant manager asked me if I wanted to leave since they probably weren't going to be that busy anyway, plus she didn't want to catch my cold ^_^
So, on to other stuff. I found the opening to xxxHOLiC on YouTube for you guys (mostly Myui since he already knows what it's about ^_^). Also, I really like the opening song ("19sai" by Suga Shikao). I went and got the full version after I heard it, and I'm keeping my eyes open for the xxxHOLiC movie soundtrack since that opening song was done by the same artist. Anyway, so here's the opening (you get to see Doumeki with his bow. Go archers!). I posted the one without subs because the picture quality was better. If you really want to know what he's saying, YouTube has a sub version. Enjoy!
And also, I realized something else today. Almost any anime/manga I watch/read has some element that reminds me of Fruits Basket. It's so weird. It came to me when I thought that if, in some bizarro alternate dimension, Yuki and Kyo were ever to be friends, they would have a friendship a lot like the one Watanuki and Doumeki have. I mean, seriously, Watanuki is loud, extremely expressive, always annoyed with either Yuuko or Doumeki (sometime both at the same time), and he can cook. Doumeki is calm, popular with the girls at his school (and rather oblivious to the fact), somewhat of a smart-ass, and he's constantly calling Watanuki an idiot. When I broke down the characters this way, it became a lot more obvious. Then, after that, I also realized that this pattern could be extended to Naruto and Sasuke (although I have no idea whether Naruto can cook... probably not... he does eat a lot of ramen...). So yeah. Wow. You could knock me over with a spoon (please don't) because I just realized the existance of an archetype that I really should have noticed before. I'm so slow sometimes ^_^
-Quote of the Day- Mom: "I though you had to work until 7 today?" Me: "I did, but they sent me home sick." Mom: "Why?" Me: "Because I'm sick."
-My mom and I- (Now you know why I had perfect attendance all through high school. This woman doesn't consider you sick until you're keeled over a toilet. Otherwise, you pop some asprin and get over it. That's parental love for ya. Now I'm one tough, disease distaining cookie. A sane person would have called in sick in the first place ^_^)
