I just finished Revolutionary Girl Utena, and it's my new favorite anime ever. ^_______________^ Yes, it even beats Eva, and that takes some serious effort. The world needs more ambiguously bisexual, cross-dressing schoolgirl Christ figures with magic swords. (Of course, it's Japan, so she's more a bodhisattva figure, but hey.)

Character surveys for dim, non-introspective characters don't make for very interesting livejournal reading ( Read more... )

Things that lead to inappropriate giggling during Mass include adorable children, unintentionally amusing homilies, and getting a new priest who looks exactly like Sylar. O_o

Holy monkeys, To Kill a Mockingbird is the best book ever.

That is all.

Lines that let you know you're playing Mage:

"OK, here are my keys. Go to my truck and tell it I sent you..."

"How was your weekend?"
"The usual. Parties, girls, shrieking horse-headed dragons, double-jointed fox spirits..."
"I hear you."

And the winner:

"I want to go home! I don't want to fire death rays at the Jersey Devil!"

I love this

I know all my praise for Dark Knight is just a drop in the bucket at this point, but dude, if you're trying to decide whether to see it or not, do it. Right now. Sweet Jiminy Christmas.
