I figure I should post a follow-up to the last issue of the last arc I said I'd read.
( Somewhat spoily )

After reading far more Twilight Snark than I feel is really healthy, I have now developed a desire to see a spinoff series.

No, no, I haven't gone crazy. But think about it.

She's the psychic vampire that even the snarkers love! He's a werewolf who can do better! Together -- They fight crime!

In Toronto. Have secured internet connection. There are bookstores nearby, which is of the awesome. Wish I could explore tonight, but it's nearly midnight and I am tired. But the books call to me, the siren voices ringing in my ears . . .

Sleep now.

Currently waiting for my flight to Toronto. I have something of mixed luck regarding the searches; I've been able to get through the metal detector with change, metal necklaces, and an iron meteorite in my pocket without a beep, but my bags will always be pulled apart down to the lining.

My habit of having a collection of random, potentially useful items in my bag has betrayed me.

They confiscated two pairs of folding scissors and a multi-tool that I'd forgotten about (one of which was in my first aid kit). And I went on some list.

Just in case you don't hear from me for a while. . .

The first TEN people to comment in this post get to request a drabble of any* pairing/character of their choosing from me. In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their ability level. If you absolutely can't write, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to offer drawings or icons or something instead. Last bit ain't mandatory.

Subject says it all. It's a bodyswap manga, and pretty much any given pairing that intrigues you results in a moment where you try to figure out if it really qualifies as het, slash, femslash, or possibly a threesome. Masturbation probably counts as het . . .

Note to self: Stop falling behind on reading LJ.

Apologies to all if there's anything I missed.

What should I read next?

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Ten to one, you've heard about it already -- the book that combines Jane Austin's classic work of literature (notable for not making you want to punch all the characters, unlike some you'll find in English class . . .) and a zombie invasion.

On the one hand, I read the description and go *grabbyhands* due to sword-wielding Lizzie and the sheer potential for awesome.

On the other, I bought another book of the author's, How to Survive a Horror Movie, and it was crap. He spent too much time on irrelevant stuff. If you are in a horror movie, you will not notice the following:
* Background music
* Film quality
* Film budget
* Montage sequences

If you do notice any of them, then you are self-aware in a satirical send-up of horror movies. You will die quickly.

And his sure-fire way to save your keister? Male frontal nudity, as the censors wouldn't allow that.

Pft. Go ask Beowulf how that helped.



What was I talking about? Ah, yes.

I'm going to wait on reviews to see if it's worth paying for. It'll either be awesome or so bad it's horrible.

Me!

I'm gonna try to keep this brief and non-spoilery so. . .

* I want a Bubastis. Adorable genetically modified lynx was just a big kitty who asked Manhattan for skritches. Poor kitty.
* The opening credits were AWESOME.
* Watching some bits with my father? AWKWARD.
* Did anyone else actually get the "Good luck, Mr. Gorbsky" bit or am I just weird?

Feel free to link me to other awesome tweets that I should be following.

Just watched it for the first time; had heard awesome things about it, but went in as unspoiled as possible.

Have to say . . . Wow. Just. Wow. Awesometastic does not begin to describe.

(also, was expecting absolutely everyone to die at the end, being as both operas and horror movies are notoriously difficult to survive to the end of. Nice twist, there.)

I will admit I need to work on cutting down my dork levels. Need enough social skills to get along at conventions, after all.

It's starting to make me wonder if there's something of an epidemic of mass failure of the so-called maternal instinct.
