(no subject)
So I skipped lectures today because my parents told me to stay in, since the roads were bad and the pavements unwalkable (that even a word?) Apparently I was wise to have listened to them (not that I'm complaining, ha ha) because on Facebook some of my friends were also talking about giving Gender & Sexuality a miss because of the weather's effect on public transport (one of them, Toni, had to wait an hour and a half for the friggin' bus yesterday! WTF)
Since I've gotten the essays out of the way for now, and since I couldn't go outside (Mom told me that some of her younger colleagues slipped on the ice and got fractured arms - ooow!) I chose to stay in...and bake chocolate biscotti. Ha ha ha. I feel so accomplished, even so it's easy as hell to make.
Oh, oh, and Black Jack volume 2 is awesome! I love how he's not very likeable and not afraid to smack anyone aside if they piss him off, including irritating little kids. X3 And although the character does have sex appeal (which is rare for a Tezuka character - c'mon! It's a fact!) I think that the actual reason for the way he looks and dresses is to reinforce the initial impression that everyone else in the series has of him - a mysterious, freaky looking character who dresses like he could be the villain of a gothic horror story. The shaggy hair and the huge scars and patches on his face support this, as does the fact that he's not a very socialable guy to start off with.
I've waited so long to finally get the chance to read this series, and it's finally happened. :'D I was interested in him ever since I saw and about him, and ever since I downloaded two chapters from stoptazmo.com about a couple of years ago. I haven't heard very promising things about the OAV though...they apparently play on the sex appeal, but making him a Lothario who gets an unexpected visit from a woman who crawls into his bed naked to boink him?? What the HELL? That is so out of character from what Ive read. :/
Wait, two people died in this weather? Does this type of thing happen in Canada?
EDIT: Wow, Japan. Pepsi WHITE?? Why infuse the taste of cola with YOGURT of all things?!
