This blog layout is pretty neutral, but I think it's pretty cute. You ought to be able to tell who's in the layout immediately ( if you don't just check the source code to find the image name ^.- ) It's very easy: he's famous, I've seen him in concert, and just check out those eyes. XD

- The media - let's rephrase it as "Those Bastards The Liberal Media"
- Sen. Tom Daschle, who, if you will remember, is the Democratic Majority Leader.
- Radical character redesigns to the point of sheer fugliness. Nope, everyone looked the same. Even better in some cases. Really good, clean art.
- Alternate-Universe Retelling of the Storyline. Although these are interesting..if done WELL...Bebop remembered that there was a beginning and an end to the TV series, and neatly inserted the movie into the series continuity.
- Excessive navel-gazing. " I'm a bad person. And I think it's my father's fault." " No you aren't, Anno-san! Everyone clap for him! :DDD" ;;n_n
- Focusing on the Main Character and letting everyone else have cameos, if that much. Nope. Ed and Ein lovers, you'll have plenty of screentime. Jet-lovers? You too. Faye-lovers? Of course! And Spike of course gets his 1337 screentime. :D Even the two new movie characters get more than enough screentime to make you interested in them.
- Random evil villains. Nope, this villain isn't randomly evil. And he's actually supposed to serve a purpose - he helps you understand Spike's character better. Without beating you over the head with Character Insights.
- Lame-ass underdeveloped plot - Hi, You Love This Series, So Eyecandy Is Worth Your 1000 Yen, Right? FUUUUUUMAAAAA!!! This movie actually has enough plot to fill up TWO HOURS without slowing down.

Wow, ask and ye shall receive @_@
Looks like Pataki got hit! ( He's Republican, if I'm not horribly mistaken.) That's interesting - now what?
Got an interview at the U of CO on 11/9. Yay me. I get to miss work and pay for my own flight and accomodations. Medical school is expensive, but the application process is ALSO murder on your finances.
Yay, Onion AV article on the Strokes. XD

More cosmic signs to work on my Bebop movie page.
I was flipping though stations today, heard Bob Dylan, flipped back, and realized it was a live version of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door." Which I have *never* heard on the radio before in any form.
-_-
Anyways, some quick thoughts about the anthrax scares. You know what? I don't think it's bin Laden. Or anyone associated with him. Let's take a quick look at who's been targetted here.
My conclusion? It's a home-grown terrorist who's using the cover of 9/11 and the bin Laden frenzy to do his own clumsy-ass acts. If it were bin Laden, there would be a dispersal of anthrax in the House using a human carrier. ( No, I'm serious. U.S. terrorists, like the Unabomber and McVeigh, have no intention of going down with their intended target. They aren't willing to die for their own cause. However, al Qaeda and my relatives the Tamil Tigers (T_T) are totally willing to go for suicide missions. ) When some major Republican figure, or a notorious conservative, gets anthrax mailed to them, I'll change my tune. And come on, signing a letter "Praise Allah" or whatever just *screams* "Red Herring."
Am I making any sense?
Anyways, time for referrer-chan CHEKKU!

" Athena, Iori, and their lovely daughter Fried Egg. Pretty soon Kyo is going to marry Blue Mary and they'll have a daughter named Yakisoba, and K' will marry King and have a kid named Slim Jim."
XD Thank you, Kya! XD
OK, OK, to explain: I found this King of Fighters fic on fanfiction.net where the premise is that Athena inexplicably shacks up with Iori, has his lovechild, and everything's subarashii. It has Iori weeping about the tragedy of his life, and plot development like this:
- “It didn’t have to be this way!” Iori sobbed. “I could’ve just led a normal
life, but no! For twenty-two years, I have suffered! I can’t take it
anymore!”
I knew it, thought Athena. She reached out a comforting hand, but Iori slapped it.
“Go away!” he yelled. “I don’t know why the hell you even went out of your way for me, you damn Kyo-lover!”
Athena did not cry or run away. Instead, she sighed and said, “I have lost all interest in Kyo. He can keep his silly girlfriend! I’d... much rather have you.”
Iori looked up at Athena, his silver-gray eyes staring into her violet eyes. “You really mean that?” he said.
“Yes,” replied Athena, and she put her arm around Iori. This time he let her, and he even put his own arm around her.
From that moment on, Athena and Iori were inseparable.
ANYWAYS, they have this kid named Tsukimi. I mentioned this fic to Kya, and she blinked. " Tsukimi means 'fried egg.' Well, a sunny-side up egg, really."
Heh heh.
Anyways. -_- Long day. My boss's boss abused me today and gave me a shitload of work totally unrelated to what I'm supposed to be doing.
And I'm busy trying to help May draw her Iori vs. Puchiko, FIGHT!

Stoppit, Winamp, that's creepy.
It's too early in the morning for this shit.
A Jet Black skin to the Rolling Stones' " Paint It Black."
I'm going to drag my ass to work and pretend to be productive. Krisit, I dunno if I'm going to be around much of Saturday, but I can try. And Mahou Senshi Riui ( Rune Soldier Louie ) is pretty entertaining. IMHO. Watched 7 subbed episodes yesterday. It's an RPG turned on its head. Watch the female swordswoman, female thief, and Priestess of the God of War shamelessly abuse the goofy male White Magic User in their party. " Carry our stuff. Pay for yourself. Look, can you move all that rubble? *abuse, abuse, abuse*" It's pretty cute, Riui is so good-natured to take all the crap they put him through. :D And it's seiyuu-tastic, I guess; Takayama Minami as Incredibly Butch Low-Voice Swordswoman, Inoue Kikuko as Hapless Priestess of the God of War who doesn't WANT to have to sleep with Riui, but if the God of War has declared him to be her hero, she'll do the unthinkable, even though She Really Hates This Situation, and Kawakami Tomoko as slightly crazed spunky thief-girl. And Yajima Akiko as evil scheming best friend. She's the sort of of Best Friend who really DOES have Riui's best interests at heart, and is manipulative enough to get them done for him. Riui, for example, doesn't have it in him to guilt-trip the three girls into helping him. He's too nice. His best friend, though, most certainly doesn't have those pesky things called Scruples. It's pretty amusing, actually.
OK, I need to work -_-

o/~ Don't be afraid, there's no marmalade o/~
Robert Smith and Steve Severin are weird guys. But then again, they named their side band ( The Glove) after a character from Yellow Submarine.
Well, the weekend was Fun and Exciting and I didn't catch up on my sleep as I had intended to. Oh well. :D Krisit was over for Saturday and part of Sunday, and on Sunday I taught class, went to give condolences to a HS friend of mine whose grandmother died on Saturday. Came back, went to dinner with Kate and Emily and some of their friends, came back, set my alarm to ring before midnight, and then went to lend shannon some tapes. ( See, without the alarm, I would have slept through her work shift and not gotten to the video store in time. :D ) We DID have a special conversation about the disturbed goodness of Lou Reed and Velvet Underground - although I think I disturbed her when my eyes pinned and I stared up at the speakers. XD I haven't seen Go Go Second-Time Virgin, but it looks like something I'd want to see sometime. And I bought one of the (say it with me) SAMMA-RYE ECCCKS Saitou figurines. XD Ni heh heh heh.
Anyways. Y'know, I love my friends. n_n It's always good to know that if you complain that you have a song or a certain band stuck in your head, and you're trying to get the song out of your head, someone will call you up long-distance in the middle of the night to serenade you WITH THAT PARTICULAR SONG. XD Rin, we have the same Winamp playlist, and you have a gravitational pull upon my Winamp. Remember, if you don't sing it with a British accent, it isn't SUPAH-GHEI!
Anyways, it was odd visiting my HS friend's house yesterday. She lives in one of those maze-like cookie-cutter subdivisions, but I didn't bother to look up directions before I went; I wanted to see if I could remember my way in and out after a five-year lapse. And I could! It was pretty impressive. Anyways, when I got there, my friend had just arrived from the airport. She works in Manhattan, and so I poked her gently for details about what it was like now. And she told me charming tidbits such as the guy who jumped off the ninth floor ledge on Friday, and she saw him jump, and when everyone saw him jump, they thought it was another Event, so they started running about and screaming. And how she used to walk by a firestation every day to get to work, and all the firefighters would leer at her, and she's sweatrain and walk a bit faster. " But you know, now they're all gone...they were part of an evacuation team, so now when I walk by the station, it's just empty..." And due to the anthrax scares, the street she works in has been barricaded off or something like that. She was kind of creepily matter-of-fact about it.
Anyways, right, the Bebop movie. It's good. I think it's really good.
Movies-Made-From-TV-Series Cliches That The Bebop Movie Avoided:
Needless to say, the movie was 1337, and the music was also 1337. Now I can actually write a review of the movie soundtrack CDs.
OK, now to work on my Bebop movie page. Mm-mmm. Finally I feel like working on a page again.
