petroniaWent to see the Provençal painting exhibit at the Fine Arts Museum yesterday evening. A whole lot of Cézanne and some fascinating 18th-century panoramas of Antibes and whatnot, where the canvas is three-fifths sky with shiploads of anthropological detail crammed into the bottom two-fifths. Didn't get home early enough to read any more Tsubasa, of course, but that hardly matters as my zip of volume 8 is corrupted.
AAAARRRRRRRRR
I suppose since it turns out I'm enjoying the series so much I'm morally obliged to buy all this after all, except I don't think the French is out to volume 8 either. (And so sororial unit can read it on the bus, although it will not eat her brain as much as it eats mine because she knows nothing about X, Rg Veda or Clover.) Vampires? ...I'm sorry, I think I am truly bothered by this. *has disturbing visions of Louis and Claudia*
Rec me fic, people! Nothing overly spoileriffic, but I need feeding today.
Here's another thing I would really, really love to have: the Tommy Feb opening to the Paradise Kiss anime. ♥ Didn't mention that I'd managed to watch 1-3 over the weekend (along with the latest subbed episode of Monster and the first ep of Mushishi). It's by the same people who did Beck, isn't it? *rolls* The feel is different from the manga. There's the chibis, the weird beasties, the character design (for some reason Arashi and Hiroyuki didn't translate too well I feel, the rest are fine). Most of the voices startled me, as if either tonality or diction weren't what I'd been hearing in my head, but it's been so long since I read the manga... ^^; The pacing. I like it, mostly - it's infinitely preferable to a pedestrian reading with no sense of a director's hand at the helm - but it doesn't achieve the original's breathless romanticism, and as I was thinking about it afterward I realised it was because of the music. The lack thereof, rather. ParaKiss is so not an ambient noise soundtrack sort of series. And what there is of it is, well, there's this single chord that plays whenever George is about to do something that drives me batty because it makes me think I'm about to hear "Mizuiro no machi" by Spitz which is like the antithesis of a George song; that's pretty typical. >_> They had it with the opening, they had it with the ending, now what about the rest? Or has the budget been blown?
