Media Thoughts
1. True Blood! Oh, True Blood. This show is kinda trashy, and yet I keep loving it more and more. I am disappointed Lafayette is not a vampire. I was looking forward to that. And yet, he is not dead, so I have no complaints. Although, awwww. He curled up in a blanket! He needs someone to pet him.

What else happened in the episode? Um, Sookie and Bill fought some more. That was boring. Although the bit about petticoats was hilarious. Oh! I adore Jessica. And Jessica/Hoyt is so awesome.

2. Saiyuki Reload 9. Yes, I am a bit behind. But oh! So good! I am absolutely in love with the whole sequence about Hazel as a child. Gorgeous, and creepy, and wonderful. And then Ukoku! I'm trying to avoid spoilers, but: SQUEE. Amazing stuff. You know, at first I did not like a lot of the symbolism in the Saiyuki books- okay, okay, I get it, Sanzo = the sun, whatever- but as time goes on and the symbolism gets more complicated and layers are added, I adore it more and more. I'm really in the mood to go back and reread the whole series right now.

3. Vienna Teng's new CD is really good. Eminem's new CD is boring.

4. Does anyone know anything about Saiyuki Gaiden coming out in English? I remember hearing a rumor a while ago that Tokyopop was supposed to pick it up, but I don't know if anything ever happened with that.

...dude, that's all you, since I've played it multiple times when you've been around.

Well, it usually is. Also I only know five of her songs, because I'm obsessed and never get around to listening to the other ones.

Hee. Well, I actually bought the new CD, unlike downloading it illegally (which is how I have the Eminem one), so you can borrow it.

Ha, yes. [info]rm is my girlfriend, but I am oddly reluctant to mix fandom and 'real life' too much, which prevented me from making an explicit post on the topic. Though she's not shy about it, and thus I appear on her journal all the time, making my reluctance even weirder, since I'm not making myself ungoogleable or anything.

I was just reading her journal today (followed her in a long winding path from metafandom) and thinking about how awesome she was so...lolz.

I approve of thinking she's awesome! But yeah, we don't have much fandom overlap, so I think most people don't notice.

:D

And I totally understand wanting to have a 'fandom' space and a 'personal' one.

True Blood! I basically watch all of the episodes with my brain screaming "DFDSFJKJ! DJFSDKJF KDJDFKS DHJHAWU? KD? NO!"

It's great.

Baaaaaby Hazel, yes. Hazel really does get more worth watching as things continue. It really is interesting when you re-read, especially the really early stuff, which seems so much more amateurish now in comparison.

I think Gaiden might have been put on hold with the whole 'everyone almost going bankrupt' thing, which is a damn pity.

Yeah, I didn't much like Hazel at first, but he just gets more and more interesting.

And alas. But I suppose at least that means there's still hope for the future.

Yeah, especially since there's going to be something like a six-month break between the end of Reload and the beginning of the new series, so if Minekura's selling well (AND SHE BETTER BE) they might figure it's worth it.

Oh, I hadn't heard that Reload was ending! I missed all the good rumors.

Yeah, the chapter that just came out in raws is the last for six months, at which point she'll be giving it a slightly new title with the same publisher. I wonder if she just wants a break or it's a branding thing or something. It's a nice stopping point but it's sure nowhere near an ending yet!
