Reviews of stuff (that is not Doctor Who, or my radio gig)

Helped sororial unit move today. Life's been kicking my ass in non-subtle ways recently (don't ask; I'll get around to it), and frankly I'm not good at understanding or describing my own feelings when they're set off by situations outside my daily-living norm, so it's going to be a struggle not to let the fact that I'm alone in the house trigger five-hour brown studies. Like a computer churning away at top CPU usage even when you don't have any windows open, running god-knows-what in the background. XD;; At that rate one would rather go on the Internet.

Notes on a few things I've watched and read:

Yumemiru Koto (Romance of an Ancient Dreaming City): ( In which Hoshino Lily does Erotics F, although idk if one can exactly say that this is to her BL work as Ristorante Paradiso is to basso. )

Steel Ball Run, volumes 13-19: ( This the first time I have heard anyone suggest that Jesus sailed across the Pacific from Japan to the New World, but that's why we love you, Araki. )

The version of Hamlet with David Tennant and Patrick Stewart: ( Brain-dead truism alert, but Shakespeare is kind of awesome. Cut for length not spoilers ahaha. )

If I were Russell T. Davies, and had gone to see this during its stage run, I think I would have found it very difficult to resist the temptation of cribbing from the best. XD; And so he did, I suppose.

( 80s classics or the Velvet Underground )

I should probably stop overestimating the fascinatingness of factoids like "the b-side of this Tommy february6 single was a cover of Strawberry Switchblade, the b-side of which original 7" was also a cover," though. XD;
