I too have been touched by the devilish one. Tattoo on the left shoulder... oh, but when I saw the face of God, I was changed. I took the entire arm off.

I wish they still showed Twin Peaks in some kind of proper sequence, dammit! I have the first 7 episodes on tape but it's a fucking ripoff. It'll cost way too much to get the entire 29-episode series. Well, it was more than 25 episodes, I remember that much. I was something like 10 when I saw the whole thing all the way through. " I took the boy right to the edge that time, opened him up like a zipper. Six months to put back all the pieces -- "

I wish this cough would go away! And I have a perma-headache, too, which makes me too cranky to translate my Bebop movie articles. Wah! I should work on my pages! ;_;

On a brighter note, Max-kun sent me three doujinshi he must have picked up during his trip to Japan. Thanks, Yuki! *_*

The Scooby Doo ad on this page scares me. o.o I think I'll be off now.

I think this explains several things.

A short story from my childhood:

When I was four or so, we drove to CA to visit my aunt and uncle. The house they lived in back then had a large garden and some raspberry bushes, and my uncle was out planting something. ( Or picking the raspberries; I heard this story from my dad and he didn't remember which it was. ) So, being the helpful little four-year-old I was, I toddled up to my uncle and offered to help, because, in my words, ' I'm a working girl!'

My uncle, being Indian, was merely impressed that I'd offered to help. My dad, being like me, nearly died of laughter at my announcement.

At four years old, no less.

Snarf snarf snarf...

I don't remember who it was who told me that the guy who did Snarf's voice died recently. Damn.

Finally I feel better. I was laid low by the New Year-gumi's sparkly jello cold, and man, it was unpleasant. But I think I'm on the mend now. The worst night was Thursday night, where I read a new book of Celtic mythology and then tried to sleep. Fever + Celtic Mythology = Priya thrashing around for eight hours, unable to sleep for more than 30 minutes at a time and having random dreams filled with Celtic names. ;;o.o

Man, yesterday also sucked. Went to see my shrink, who's worried that I hate myself so much that I'll never really enjoy life. @_@ She wants me to bring in my parents one time, and I dunno if I should, because I doubt very much would get accomplished, and I don't know if I'd feel comfortable talking around them. A large part of my coping mechanism is to say, 'I'm fine, nothing's wrong, lalalalala,' no matter what happens, and even though I want to give my parents a good kick in the ass fairly often, I don't want them to think they hold ALL the blame for my depression. They don't make things any BETTER, but they didn't necessarily cause *everything* that's wrong with me.

I really wish a med school would get back to me soon so that my dad can stop his doom-and-gloom trip. Ever since he got my grades he's been skulking around and saying we need to discuss what to do since there's 'a distinct chance none of the medical schools will accept me now.' *KICK* Nevermind that's not true at ALL ( this semester's grades brought my GPA down to a 3.75, oooooh ) but it's also demoralizing as hell. -_-

Anyways, enough of this depressing shit. I need to buy some new DDR pads soon; I'm going into withdrawal. Must...practice! I wish I had the time to play RPG's; I haven't had enough free time since last fall, when I and a friend finished ff8 in...about a week.

Seems that Cartoon Network is going to be showing the BIG-O *and* Megami Kouhosei ( Candidate for Goddess ) sometime in the future - hoe--- *_* And Boogiepop has been picked up, too, apparently, by Right Stuf.

Man, I need a scanner. I have at least three sites I'd love to work on, but I'd need a scanner for. I should update my Bebop movie page.

It apparently is some kind of religious holiday for my Mom, so it's time to go help her clean up. On New Year's Day, we visited the temple; although I'm an atheist, it's strangely comforting to visit a temple. Maybe because it's so familiar; when I'm in India we visit lots of temples.

Augh, now I hafta try to find a complete set of the Little House books on b&n.com ;;^^ Ja!

Diplomacy is saying 'nice doggie!'...until you can find a rock.

Ah, finally I feel like blogging. I archived, too, just so I can start off the New Year's with a clean slate, so to speak. My sister asked me if I had made a resolution, and I truthfully said that I hadn't thought about it yet. The only thing I could think of was 'goof off less, study harder' which just proves I'm sort of an ABCD. ( That's an American-Born Confused Desi - it's a semi-derogatory term for us Indians ^^ Although to really be an ABCD I'd hafta streak my hair with blonde, wear green or purple or blue contacts, and basically act like ever bad stereotype of west-coast aZn you could find. My people scare me. ) I know what I wish I could change about myself, but there's a limited amount of things I actually CAN change. Damn.

Well, anyways. I looked at the proposed V-Day layout and all I can say is, DAMN, you're lucky I wasn't there to drool all over your artbook, krisit . HOOO HAH. H___H

TMR-sama - you've brought up an interesting point. It IS interesting how people act differently with different groups. I've noticed that about myself, too. I'm super-depressed, hyper, ecchi, big-sister-y, little-sister-y, and everything in between, depending on whom I'm talking to and how I feel I should be acting. But we all know you're really TMR-sama, so what's the point? n_n Juri should hopefully be shipping off your present soon. We're sorry it's such a silly present, but we couldn't resist, and we had no idea what you'd really like. Just...uh...accept it in the spirit it was given, or something. ^_^ Merry belated Christmas, and stuff. ( Gosh, I don't even know if you read this blog. Dammit, TMR-sama o.o )

Yes, New Year's was lots of fun, even if I think I scared everyone. ;;^^ Goshdarnit, you hafta admit all my REALLY disturbing DJ look so cute and innocent on the outside! Juri said it best - " Your doujinshi are like Eriol - the cuter the outside, the dirtier they are inside." Or was it vice versa? I don't remember. I had lots of fun hanging out with y'all, and during the semester, if the IL-gumi can congregate in C-U and be genki, that would kick ass! n_n

Strangely enough, yesterday's Newsweek had a preview of the US release of DDR. Oh my GOD, those pads are UGLY! I refuse to dance upon those abominations! Imagine DDR pads colored in tangerine, violet, and hot pink. I was going to wait until the US release of DDR later this month to get new pads, but no way now o.o Damn.

I was sick yesterday, so I didn't go to work. I spent a lot of the day sleeping and being warm, so I feel a lot better today.

I really wish I had a scanner of my own. I bought the December and January Newtypes, and I'm just dying to scan in all the good Bebop stuff in them. As Matt posted to the UIUC anime NG, it seems that the movie's been named "Knockin' on Heaven's Door." Heh heh, naturally. ^_^

I also want to start scanning in my Big-O stuff so I can work on the page. It seems that Nerrie is sending me both Orphen REVENGE and Big-O VCDs. *_*

Ugh, I REALLY don't want to go to work. But work is necessary to fund those shopping sprees you IL-gumi saw me go through at the Mitsuwa. n_n And also for our birthday bash, krisit. So we're going to go up to Chicago? We're getting a hotel room or something? ( Uh, wow, that sounded wrong. ^^ )

That's enough. I'm done. Sort of. ^^
