aw, but i just LOVE ranma and akane!

i was in the mood to play with pictures of ranma and akane together, from the figure skating episode in particular. i just love that one. next i think will be from the romeo and juliet episode. i love that one too.

today was tiring and i hate our damn weekly reviews. i can never think of what to write...


previous persons: Inaba of Urusei Yatsura - Ryuunosuke Fujinami of Urusei Yatsura
Kikyo of Inuyasha - Maggie Mui of R.O.D. the TV - Shinji Ikari of Neon Genesis Evangelion
Miaka Yuki of Fushigi Yuugi - Gene Starwind of Outlaw Star - Jakotsu of Inuyasha

man, haven't had this in a while... anywho, the person of the moment is now officially Sousuke Sagara from Full Metal Panic (which is in no way related to Fullmetal Alchemist). Sousuke Sagara is a man on a mission in every sense of the phrase. Sousuke is a sergeant at the secret anti-terrorist organization mithril and he has been assigned to guard over Kaname Chidori, a high school girl and one of the whispered who possess severly advanced technical knowledge in their subconscious. back to sousuke: he would be a pretty low key guy if not for the fact that he's completely un-used to japanese high school life (having been a mercenary since age eight and all...). that being said, sousuke causes a lot of unnecessary havoc around his and kaname's high school."I'm not a nerd, I'm a specialist!" as i just mentioned, sousuke has no idea how to act around normal people his own age, which is why his classmate shinji's dating sim called him a nerd. it was quite a humorous scene.
sousuke is all about utility. he doesn't own anything that isn't useful in some way. at one point in the first series when Sousuke forgets about an appointment he made with Kaname, he buys her a pair of earrings and a bracelet to make it up to her. but Sousuke, being Sousuke, wouldn't just buy kaname plain ol' jewelry. the earrings are actually flashbangs (and wonderfully inconspicuous, seeing as no one will look twice at a girl's earrings), and the braclet contains a tracking device, so he find Kaname if she ever gets kidnapped (which she promptly does later on in the episode, of course).
despite his social inhibitions, Sousuke has managed to attract his very own classic anime romantic triangle! both his superior officer Captain Teletha Testarossa (Tessa for short) and Kaname (thought she has issues admitting this) have developed feelings for, as his friend Kurz calls him, Sergeant Serious.
one thing i've really got to commend sousuke for is that he's not afraid to walk around in ridiculous costumes (such as a cardboard AS). hats off to our favourite serious-minded sergeant, Sousuke Sagara!

the advanced cookie guard and keeper of the cakes

yea, that's just something i came up with at work. i thought it'd make for a funny title. nothing eventful happened at work today to inspire a post dedicated to ranting about moronic customers. apparently a lady did complain about a cake i did, but i was at lunch, and she was just being bitchy. stephanie said the cake looked just fine, hence the bitchy lady received no discount.

another thing i've been thinking about is a list of rules. just rules in general about life. nothing that one is forced to abide by, just plain fact. so far i've come up with two: 1. there is an exception to every rule (i believe i've justified this rule in a past post) and 2. you will never find something when you're actually looking for it (another way to put that would be that you only find what you want when you're not looking for it). and that is so damn true. especially for big and important things. abstract entities even more so (i.e. you can't find happiness, love, whatever by looking for them, they just show up unannounced when you're least expecting it).

hanna's almost completely moved out now. her room is empty... it's weird... our new roommate sounds very friendly, though, so this is a plus (she called me up the other day).



p.s. the new bed is nice, but very tall...

a new bed

there was a note taped to our front door when i got back from class this evening. it read:

434B

You are getting a new bed! Either a new mattress, boxspring, or both!

An "X" should be on the piece of bedding that will be replaced. Please remove personal bedding to make the swap easier.

We'll be starting Tuesday morning about 9:30 and progressing throughout the day. You do not need to be present - just strip your linen!

"you do not need to be present," funniest thing i've heard in a while. sure, i don't need to be present, but what about the fact that i'll be asleep at 9:30 on tuesday morning?! what the hell am i supposed to do about that?! "and progressing throughout the day," so there's no guarentee that if i get up and out by 9:30 that i'll actually be helping the matter. there's always the chance that i'll have gotten up for nothing. so what's a girl to do, dammit? do i get up early for potentially no reason at all, or do i sleep in and risk them showing up to switch my boxspring and mattress while i'm still sleeping on the old ones? (both had "x"s on them, i checked.) the whole situation sucks. they replaced our couch cushions the other day too, now they're all firm and........firm. you don't sink into them comfortably like you used to. hopefully my new matress won't be like that. personally, i don't know what's wrong with the one i have now. feels perfectly comfortable to me. perhaps that's why jessie felt the need to get two mattress pads when we moved in: her mattress is newer than mine (obviously, as i'm the only one getting a new bed). dammit anyway...

Sticky Site of the Moment - InternetBumperStickers.com

holy crap, check it out! how lucky can you get? remember last year when my blog got picked as the sticky site of the moment? well now they've gone and picked my website as sticky site of the moment. i feel so special...

does anyone know what the hell is up with this?

no matter what i do, blogger just won't let me post some stuff. i don't get it. but other things, it has no problem with. i have a theory that my crappy internet connection may be involved, but the only way to test that it try posting from the computer at home....... i just don't get it. what the hell?!

when it all comes down to it, they're just giant robots

have you ever stopped to think just how many names there are for giant robots in anime? seriously, you can't have the same name in two animes! there's mobile suits, gundams, mechas, guymelefs, arm slaves (or AS's), battloids, transformers, evas, etc. etc. not only that, but just about each brand of giant robot has its own prodigy robot: wing zero, escaflowne, arbalest, unit 01, the list goes on. maybe i've just been watching too much anime with giant robots in it lately.....

blogger's being a bitch

i had this awesome post all typed up and everything. what does blogger go an do? fucking error 404 page not found as soon as i try to post it. not only that, but there was no way for me to recover all that stuff i typed. it was pretty funny too. now i'm to tired to think of it all and type it all out again...

a little slow on the uptake, this post...

well, as you most certainly already noticed, i changed my layout again. i know it's pretty damn obvious that it's myoga from inuyasha, but hey, it's for posterity, okay? i actually put it up the same day i posted last, but i didn't want to have three posts in one day, so i put off announcing the new layout's arrival till now. the picture was a screen shot from the first movie. eh, that movie was all right.... i liked it the least out of the three i've seen. the best part is towards the end when miroku shouts up to sango (riding kirara) to jump into his arms, and sango, in response, throws a piece of her armor at his head. (he gets the idea from kagome randomly jumping down off kirara counting on inuyasha catching her (which, of course, he does) it's funnier when you actually see it in context though...
