My last posting for wk_100's "Written" challenge.

The most fun to write, but it may not make sense for anyone who hasn't been exposed to 1940's detective fiction and films. It's based on Dashiell Hammett's The Maltese Falcon, which was made into a great film starring Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor, Peter Lorre (brilliant! as the gunsel), and Sidney ( Read more... )

Listening to the GITS2: Innocence OST all evening, I wrote my first three fics for the new wk_100 "Written" challenge. They are all about Schwarz. I thought my attempts to work Machiavelli into the first were a tad clumsy, but the second and third did what I wanted. At last I am content with a sex story!

"Concerning Cruelty And Clemency, And ( Read more... )

Posted 8 fics to the wk_100 Alcohol Challenge; most not very satisfactory. Angst sometimes flows beautifully; humor is improving. But I can't write sex worth a damn yet. Stereotypic PWP is absurdly easy... but not what I want. K'so! It's amusing; it's like being a virgin - I get all tense when I'm trying to do it. Well, just takes practice ( Read more... )

It took two weeks for me to move from buying my first genga (anime sketches) to buying my first cels (the actual paintings, before CGI anyway.)

I now have Aya at the flowershop from Weiss Kreuz, and Seiji in full Halo armor from Yoroiden Samurai Troopers. Updated my collections page.

Happiness is.

More anime, hosted by tabyk, whose collection is huge and esoteric. We watched:
Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi
Tsukihime
Hoi Hoi-San - Cute robot dolls battle cockroaches and each other - very funny!
Teizokurei Daydream
Gunbuster 2 - No, nothing like Gungrave! Gainax. 'Nuff said.

We topped off the party with a viewing of Ghost In The Shell 2: ( Read more... )

Two interesting polls yesterday. Kunzite connected me with a religion poll which says I'm a neo-pagan buddhist. That's actually pretty accurate. I'll have to read up on the types of buddhism suggested.
What do you believe? Visit SelectSmart.com/RELIGIONNatakryu had another "find your weapon" deal. I love katana, but I also like a variety of other ( Read more... )

Animepdx gathering. We watched an episode from Kino's Journey, Speedracer from 1966, Darkside Blues, and Azumanga Daioh. After a trip out for sushi, and great conversations in the restaurant and car, we saw the best anime of the day. Strong, wild Gainax influence on the insane Dead Leaves. R content; highly recommended. (Wish I'd remembered to ( Read more... )

For the wk_100 CROSSOVER challenge, 7 fics.

Crossed with Tokyo Babylon, Wraith and Lavender.

Crossed with Noir, Upside-Down and Right Side Up.

Crossed with FLCL, Rock and Roll! and Esstet Blues.

Crossed with Lethal Weapon, Wild Abandon.

Angsty Wraith came out really well; Subaru was a natural fit. I also enjoyed poking a bit of fun at Crawford ( Read more... )

I've noticed that eBay is becoming more and more repressive about listings. I've had several items I was bidding on in the past week be yanked by eBay - yaoi doushinski all, and they didn't have offensive pictures, but were straightforward book listings. I'm annoyed. I don't want to be protected from images of violence or sex, or even the ( Read more... )
