petronia: (christmas)
Half-day work today, bought more swag afterward. *g* I imagine I'll put up something from the Tak Matsumoto aka Mr. Gibson Signature outta B'z album, though; luffly instrumentals, all chinoiserie - what, Engrish isn't enough? - and Hendrix covers. It turns out the thing's an enhanced album, watching Tak fretwank while drowning in showers of sakura petals put me into a trance. Man, I feel sorry for the poor sod who obviously had his CD collection stolen, or there's no way this schtuff ends up immaculate in a Mont Royal furuhonya at 11$ a pop. ^^; Got a Brian May solo album for the S.U. as well, to complete the theme. And a Namie album (from the same CD collection, I posit), and Astor Piazzolla Remixed, because there can never be too much tangotronica. Dammit.

And some cute fitted zip-up tops from Kokawaii that make me look like I stepped out of Bleach when I wear them over my cargo pants with many pockets and buckles of Unclear Purpose**, and random Christmassy items of food and booze for the family. Goldschlager! Raspberry creme logs! Mmkay enough about my shopping, it's getting silly. :P Will talk about manga instead, upon which I blog a link:

Saitou Chiho Romance Symphony (S to M no Sekai)

For my own convenience and yours, because for once one of Re-Miel's scripts is webhosted! Daishokku! He's not got vol.2, though, unless he's caved on the not-buying-manga thing; and vol.2 is oodles better than vol.1, if only because it's all about Gilles de Rais. XD (I howled in vol.1 when Sauveur was all like, "The name rings a bell..." だめよ、ソヴュール君、特に美少年にとって危ないところ… But he remembered eventually, as well he should. See, kids, this is why history class is important: you never know when the universe will pull a Fushigi Yuugi on you. Constant vigilance!)

Thoughts on Gilles de Rais and the manga - mild non-specific spoilers )

** Not really true, as I've figured out most of them. There's snap things meant to take in the slack in the legs in so the bottoms won't get caught in the gears when one bikes, for instance, or at least that's what they're good for. The strap around the leg still baffles me, though.

It's now the 25th. So Happy Christmas, all. :D

Minor spoilers for RotK GBA game )

Am drinking Perrier water with truffles and marrons glacés, not a third of the way through the available desserts yet. And now will download and play Ced's loungey French electronica just to complete the effect. XD
