Finished MoB volume 5 (oh no must write summary of entire thing now T_T), started the volume commonly referred to as 5.5. I heart bunko paperbacks. While reading manga I'd always notice that people like Kira-sempai or Yagyuu held the book with one hand only and turned pages with the same, and I never understood how they managed, but now I do it too. And I find I look forward to finding out what bookmark they send me in each book, because I really am that easily amused. This time I got a Maria-sama ga miteru one. XD (Marimite's published by Cobalt Bunko too. Ahahaha no comments.)
Last one of the batch, must order more. Never mind fandom-time, trying hard not to think of the money this series is going to cost me. Then again, considering that I'm buying Hikaru no Go and Bleach and Nana and GetBackers in French - and the latter two in Japanese as well - and XXXHolic and Peace Maker Kurogane and Death Note and... regular crack may be cheaper, one thinks sometimes. >_>

Sometimes I go through periods of mostly posting about my life, and sometimes I go through periods of not posting about my life at all. But really, when you get down to it not much has happened. I spent most of the past month pleased with the new clothes I brought back from Shanghai, and completely in denial regarding the weather. It's finally cold enough that I can't go out in skirts anymore, though, not even the really wide and long denim one, and my favorite pink corduroy blazer doesn't fit under the eiderdown jacket I'm wearing now. Still with the long scarf and hat combo, though both the scarf and the hat have changed from last year. Instead of the pink Indian knit scarf and black-and-white felt beret, we now have a beige-shading-to-cream tasseled scarf and black suede poor-boy cap. Have been feeling very beige these last few months, though not in the "bleh" sense - it just seems to be the colour I'm currently drawn towards. o_O Also beige/antique rose match my hair, which a lot of colours don't anymore these days.
What else? Party on Saturday. Tossed my cookies in a very literal sense on the way home - must remember never to get smashed at a West Island homestead ever again. I'm a rock-solid stoic when drunk otherwise but moving vehicles make me lose my cool. Schlepped second half of the Mirage of Blaze TV series to Tania's place for watching yesterday. I don't actually watch anime a lot with T these days - more like independently following various series on our own schedules - and I honestly can't remember the last time we watched something together seriously. XD;; Let me put it this way: the only two shows we watched together in recent memory were Prince of Tennis and Kyou Kara Maou. As for MoB, I'll just say that you haven't truly experienced the thing if you've never MSTed it with lines out of Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, and leave it at that. We weren't even drunk, that part came afterward.

Will now proceed to retype rei no lost entry. Stay tuned.

absenceofmind - the evil mastermind behind the sing-for-your-flist meme - was one of the approximately three people on the planet never to have encountered "The Girl From Ipanema" before my rendition of it (which I have by the way taken down so I can unlock the MoB character notes in the same entry; I assure those of you who didn't download that you're not missing much =_=). As this is a tragedy, and in order that it may not be repeated, I am posting all the versions of the song I currently have on this computer.
