"All right, I'll be strange and you be gay!"

First, start your Monday off with a giggle and check out a Harry Potter version of the Badger, Badger song, be sure to stick around for the third Snape repeat, it's worth it, I promise. Many thanks to odogoddess for pointing me at that one.


Why? Because every damn time I do they end up getting freaking killed. Latest case in point, Fushigi Yugi. Admittedly I'd had a sense of foreboding about Nuriko ever since learning he was a transvestite who was madly in love with the emperor. It's anime for a straight audience, you just know it's not going to end well. I suppose I should be content that he made it through 33 episodes, which for my favorites is pretty good. Still, it pissed me off to no end to find out he was dead and I've still got a shitload of episodes to get through. God fucking dammit!

I suppose I wouldn't have minded so much if he hadn't cut off his long purple hair just before the end and decided he was in love with the main female character (whom I loathe passionately). Part of the reason I'd liked him from the start was that he found Miaka as idiotic and unappealing as I did, then he goes and falls for her? WTF? She's almost as bad as that absurd girlie character on Firefly that I hated so (though thankfully I've forgotten most of the details of both her and the series). Almost.



Saturday was monumentally uneventful, which was a lovely change. I donated blood and ran some errands that morning, and then cleaned up the apartment and got all but one package out in the mail. If my damn packing tape hadn't run out I'd be done now *sigh*. Anyway, got many boxes from back home full of stuff and had a mild panic attack trying to find space for it until I could open it. After it gets opened most of it, sadly, will end up boxed up as I've no place to put it.

Spent most of the afternoon after that being a slug and plowing through 26 or so episodes of Fushigi Yugi, then dropped silkblade off at SFO. The scary thing is, I'd rather drive to SFO than SJC these days after the redesign. San Jose's airport is just scary now, and oh my god difficult to navigate. Ugh.

Got up early Sunday to run still more errands and then go see Troian before gaming. He's such a sweetie. Gaming was fun, and my character got to find a secret passage, for which he was very proud of himself. He almost thwarted an assasination attempt via exploding punchbowl, and nearly became the priest's champion in a duel. Sadly, his advice to the crew was mostly ignored, though it gave him a chance to crow about it later on. I expect he's going to be rubbing it in for a while longer. I also expect that he's eventually going to end up fighting the Eisen weapons master and having his ass handed to him at some point. On the plus side, if he gets killed before the Longest Night then he doesn't have to go. To be honest, I kinda wouldn't mind seeing him get killed off, I've been playing him for a really long time and I wouldn't be heartbroken to create a new character to play. As long as he had a splendid death.

Ummm, wasn't suggesting that it should or would - yours truly is very new to this particular gaming system and has never played d20 Anything. I only know that It Exists and is the "currently maintained form" of the system. No Offense Intended. /B-)

No worries--it was not intended as an attack on you for suggesting the idea, but as an attack on the d20 system because we hates it my precious.
