Kotoba no Renkinjutsushi ~ 言葉の錬金術師 ~

Misaki: "It must be nice to be in a relationship."
Usagi: "We are in a relationship."
Misaki: "We are?!?"
Usagi: "Why are you so shocked? We live together, eat together, sleep together. I mess you up in particular places. We thrust things in and out. And finally -"
Misaki: "Don't say it!!!"

Poor Misaki. Repeated sexual escapades with Usagi-san does in fact make you gay. But cheer up! At least you're on the bottom and Usagi-san has to do all the work.

On the RL front, I am once again gainfully employed full-time. It's awesome, because maybe I'll be less broke, but it seriously cuts into my writing time. How am I supposed to get any serious fangirling done now? Tch.

I guess that's what they make weekends for, eh?

I consoled myself for not being able to go to PortConMaine by buying the Basilisk complete box and managed to get the hard-to-find PaniPoni Dash on eBay for less than 50 bucks. Looks funny as hell.

Just watched Koi Kaze. Whoa. That was pretty freaky. I liked it, though. Even if the ending is kind of "huh?"
Been spending some time playing Rogue Galaxy, which I thought I'd hate, but actually am really enjoying. I like Simon yelling "It's FAR! It's too flippin' FAR!"
I accidentally read Brittney Spear's blog. It was an accident, really. All I can say is that it really sucks two kids have that narcissistic, self-pitying tramp for a mother.

... that just makes me melt?

Okay, so I spent my MLK day dl-ing Kaze to Ki no Uta and Haru wo Daiteita.
And the winner is: Haru wo Daiteita.
Haru, for those who haven't seen it, features two ex-porn stars who go legit, but yet still manage to boff each other quite frequently (both on and off camera) in the two episodes of this OVA. It has lots of sex. Definitely yaoi, not shounen-ai. BUT, in between the sex, there is lots of angst and crying and a great big "I love you" in the end. Even if the "I love you" is promptly followed by a bitchslap. I really was blown away by this OVA, and would recommend it to anyone who likes sentimental, angsty yaoi. Aarinfantasy has a very hi-qual version that can be had by going to boxtorrents.com or isohunt.com and searching with the title.
