So, like, you could rewrite the Badger song with 'coffee' for badger, 'biscuits' for mushroom and 'cake' for snake. And it would be cool.

My brother has left. We spent the entire weekend watching DVDs, eating, showing each other interesting stuff on the Net, and walking to and from town. Twas cool. We also worked out, kind of, a cast list for a live-action version of Saiyuki. (This is what I do with my brother. Either that or discuss who's smarter, Yamagata or Jade Goody.)

( The cast list (what I remember of it) put here because I want to have a copy in written form )

Had my first two lectures today. One of them is with Excitable Russian lecturer. And it's on chaos. This should be interesting ^^ (realised that second semester of second year was the only one with no Russian lecturers in it. No wonder everyone was so gloomy).

Wrote snarky letter to the TV licensing people. So there.

( Les Questions )

Ganked from lycoris.

1. Post a list of 10 books/movies/TV shows that you've had a fannish love of at some time in your life.
2. Have your friends guess your favorite character from each one.
3. You can cross out the show/movie/book and put the character when someone guesses right.

In no particular order...

1) Biker Mice From Mars
2) Ghost In The Shell Batou, guessed by angrychemist
3) Dog City
4) Saiyuki Cho Hakkai, guessed by lycoris
5) Bugsy Malone Blousey Brown, guessed by lycoris
6) The Song of the Lioness quartet Alanna, guessed by lycoris
7) RENT
8) Little Shop of Horrors Seymour, guessed by lycoris
9) Chobits Chi, guessed by lycoris
10) Power Stone 2

Apologies for the random selection there - I had to omit Jet Set Radio, Akira, Battle Royale and Lost because I can't pick a favourite character! (Maybe that's what makes me want to actually write fic for something...)

Am currently reading an advice book for teenage girls. The first chapter was quite useful, but I can't take the others totally seriously. I think my favourite quote so far is 'Women's sexuality is one of the most powerful forces in the world'. I guess it testifies to my anime geek-ness that I thought 'I reckon Tetsuo's psychic powers are stronger.' I fail at life ^^

( Short(ish) rant on periods and certain people's comments on them )

This book is trying to keep a foot in every PC camp possible. It's actually quite entertaining.
