What do you call those monster servant things the kirin have in 12K? Names in Taiki's case? ...This show would be so much easier if I could remember the actual kanji for anything.

It's snowing again, a proper white storm. Should've known listening to Spitz would bring it down: my sense memory of "Robinson" and "Masayume" both being on the bus on my way to buy a December birthday cake at a French patisserie, and the snow floating down and filling every cubic centimetre of air. Impossible to describe how three dimensional a flurry is, to someone who's never seen one.

Ficlets-onna-card written yesterday: just one and a half, but the one is Possibly The Best Thing I Have Ever Written (tm). So far they are all about snow or having to drag oneself out of bed in the morning or both, can't think why... I've been writing continuously for a while and I'm enjoying it, very much. Giving is also fun. I can't wait until some of the recipients get these. I'm a perfect bundle of joy at the moment but that may be related to the fact that I bought a 4$ baggie of blue raspberry licorice, sour peach, pink grapefruit and cola bottle gummies yesterday, and now I'm eating it. All of it. MMM SUGAR.

Tagged by [livejournal.com profile] sparklingai for the seven current songs meme again. Endeavouring to upload schtuff I haven't yet personally but expect no surprises. *g*

Lady Sovereign - Hoodie (Basement Jaxx Remix): What does the S.O.V. have against polka dots, she says, defensively clutching her Kompakt Total skirt to self. But the song gets stuck in my head, because I have a tiny radio buried somewhere inside my brain that plays jingles as a form of commentary on Life At The Moment - am looking to buy a hoodie and this is a pickier process than it seems. Also because ILM-person who said it sounds like 1985 Prince trying to do grime through a time machine is amazingly correct.

Röyksopp - Poor Leno (Röyksopp's Istanbul Forever Take): one of the best dance tunes of the decade IMO. Just the way the melody rises and rises, gah. This remix is what I actually mean when I use "Poor Leno" as a reference - I played the album version and could barely recognize having heard it. XD

Richard X - You Better Let Me Love You Tonight (feat. Tiga): ATTN SUPER DRACO, LOL LOL LOL x INFINITY *wipes tears*. Um, this is from [livejournal.com profile] jantalaimon's Richard "it stands for Xmas glockenspiel" X matsuri. I commented in her LJ that it's all in the imperious way he says "Drums," like he just snapped his fingers at the DJ or something - and the second verse entirely and gleefully constructed out of 80s electropop quotations.

I'd actually been desultorily listening to some of the tracks off Tiga's new album and thinking I should go hear him DJ one of these nights...... and then I remembered that this equals "finally going to I Love Neon". Except not New Year's Eve technically as NYE I LOVE NEON = DIGITALISM. I will drag Tania and I will make sure she likes it. Cedric, you are in too aren't you!?

Tommy february6 - Lonely in Gorgeous: opening theme to the Paradise Kiss anime. Thank you for playing, please come again!

(Yes I realise that is only four, the other three I don't have on this computer, bah.)

They're called shirei! And Taiki's are Sanshi (the half-woman-half-leopard-with-bits-of-lizard nyokai) and Gouran (the toutetsu).

The surrogate mother types like Sanshi are called Hyokia, IIRC.

Huh. The DVD subs and the novel translations say nyokai (possibly nyoukai).

女怪: onna no nyo, youkai no kai. Sanshi has a last name, Haku; in full it's (have to do Chinese; Japanese MIME doesn't have the kanji) 白汕子.

Shirei 使令 Gouran 傲濫 Toutetsu 饕餮

I'm not exactly a genius when it comes to remembering Japanese words, so you're probably right. Just tried to point out the difference between Shirei an Hyokai/Nyokai or whatever they are called...
