Bow to the Bastard-Sama
I'm reading Shogun by James Clavell now (veeeeeeery slowly, I started about eight years ago technically:P) and I just wanted an excuse to use that line somewhere. I find it really interesting to see the completely alien-seeming dynamic that the Japanese in the book live with. "Six faced and three-hearted" supposedly, they all can kill at the drop ( Read more... ) -
Damn-Male in Distress Syndrome or What's Bad About Bad Boys
I was reading an essay on women in literature by the lovely Sarah, which you can find here:
sarahtales.livejournal.com/151335.html
And it got me thinking.
You've all heard of the damsel in distress and how very much men love to save her. and you've heard of women who just love bad boys with issues because they think they can change them. Essentially, ( Read more... ) -
Stuff I Like: WebComics!
Ooooh!:) I just found a new webcomic to love! It's such a great feeling. And this one is so different. It's a historical webcomic, it's basically true, and everyone in it talks like a valley girl as far as I can tell. Since Clueless is one of my favorite movies, you can assume I adore this comic:) Most of you probably already read it since it seems ( Read more... ) -
back to lj, back to Montreal:)
So tonight I went to see the fireworks at the Old Port here in Montreal. I felt like I hadn't seen them in so long, or as if I'd never seen them properly. I have been a few years before, so I don't know if there is something wrong with me or if I just didn't appreciate it enough before. I don't even know what's so interesting about standing around ( Read more... ) -

Zodiac sorries
Okay I know this is technically spam, but I find this sort of things really funny and sometimes accurate like the one about how many does it take to screw in a lightbulb (Cancers: one but they grieve over the old lightbulb for ages with their therapist) so I'm posting. I'm a Leo and I find it completely spot on for me lol. I am stuck indoors doing ( Read more... ) -
I left my Zed<3 in Canada....
Americans won't let me say "Zed" for the letter Z. I never said it growing up but I grew fond of it the last few years in Canada because I have a love of oddness and dammit I can't use it anymore. Ever since moving here, there has not been ONE time I have used it when asked to spell my name when I wasn't answered with a dissatisfied blank look and ( Read more... ) -

neil gaiman<3 and the yellow wallpaper
I just reread A Study in Emerald by Neil Gaiman and DAMN is it good. Just the feeling that I get now that I've finished it; it's like a really excellent dinner out complete with surprise dessert. I'd completely forgotten the story although maybe that makes it more fun to reread. And I really like the ending revelation. I kinda wish there was more ( Read more... )
