thessalianFinally, the weekend is here.
I have to get in touch with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
leopard_lady about tonight. I've become less and less sure that I want to see X2 with someone who's already seen it. Unintentional spoilage, you know? On the other hand, I hate going to the cinema alone. Jeez. Also, I think I'm too tired and sore to go anywhere just now. I did 42.5 hours this week. I normally do 32 or so. Overtime sucks.
Well, sort of sucks. After all, it has its compensations. For instance, I'm now the owner of a Decepticons logo T-shirt. I used to love the Transformers as a kid (yes, tomboy, how did you guess?). I'm also the proud owner of "Ghost in the Shell". This is, thank you, the first DVD I've ever purchased full price. But I figure it's in a good cause. Why? Because they're actually selling anime here. Not just bits and bobs anymore. There are rows devoted to what they call manga now (but I thought manga was the comics?). Anyway, I've seen so far:
* Blue Gender
* Bubblegum Crisis
* Escaflowne
* Neon Genesis Evangelion (not just the movies -- the first two DVDs as well)
* Patlabor
* Macross II
* Oh, My Goddess
* Sailor Moon (yeick)
* Samurai X
And a whole bunch of other stuff I've never heard of. But I'm going to enjoy finding out! No Lain, though, which is a bummer. And I don't see why -- apart from the suicide, there's nothing in it that's any worse than what's in, for example, "Perfect Blue". Hell, "Perfect Blue" is a lot more violent, as are "Blood" and Eva and ... well, you get the idea. Well, maybe one day. The fact remains that the country I live in (and my DVD works in) has finally achieved cluehood! There is anime! That's just too bloody eventual!
(If you need me to explain that, go read the latest King short story anthology.)
Anyway, I think I'll go do the reach-out-and-bug-someone thing, and then ... well, I dunno what then.
Note to self -- GET THE GLASSES FIXED! Damnit, I'm getting sick of misreading things.
