IN WHICH VALENTINE'S DAY
So… yeah. Here's a fitting song, I think. Or maybe unfitting. Or both, since it is Weird Al.
I know I've posted too many Weird Al videos, but I figure y'all'd rather hear him than the Japanese stuff. Anyway…
UPDATE ON STUFF
Not much to say, I did a little work on a couple stories a few days ago and did some research into the "Chav" accent so I can credibly write Octavia's Burritoverse story that's been sitting 1/3 completed in my files for so long.
I've spent most of the past two days asleep. I know I need to get to writing, both horsewords and real stories, but the flesh can't really do much when the spirit is unwilling. I should probably self-impose a deadline of five days from now to get the second half of my Mayor Mare story completed. OR if it runs too long again, split off a third chapter and post it in a month. Should I have the Mayor return to Ponyville? Or is it more interesting to keep her in the Crystal Empire?
When I haven't been sleeping, I've been reading. Last weekend, I finally finished Akira. This week I read the original run of Battle Angel Alita -- I got fancy hardcover boxsets for both last Fall. I felt I ought to read the source material before seeing the films. After reading the manga, I can totally see why James Cameron (aided by Robert Rodriguez) decided to make Alita look a little uncanny; the whole point of the story is that she's not human and is trying to find herself.
I remember hearing years ago that B.A.A's ending was utter bullshit. And it is. Yukito Kishiro confirmed that he was starting to suffer mental collapse and needed a break. After he recovered, he started Battle Angel: Last Order, meant to retcon the rushed ending of the original but ended up going over twice as long. He's currently working on a third Battle Angel series whose name I can't remember at the moment.
I feel like I can't leave my room unless my mother is out of the house or asleep. It's not her fault, but I feel trapped. Same thing when my ex was still living here.
Oh, right. My mother decided to make a red velvet cheesecake with Oreo crust. Yum.
Now, I think I'm going to watch some television and then perhaps some Sakura Gakuin. I have to leave my home Friday even though the weather's gonna suck. The Ozarks has four seasons, but those seasons like to argue and fight for dominance. It's just how it works here. You get used to it, but you never quite get used to it. That actually makes perfect sense if you don't think about it.
Peace out!
See, what we really need is Battle Angel Mayor Mare.
I like pretty much all the stuff you share. :) <3
Delicious desserts. <3 I hope things get better man. :D
