I have a complaint. Yes, and a very good one, too. Okay- all you runners out there (or anyone else for that matter), if you're huffing and puffing up a hill that looks more like it should belong as a side in a right triangle, what would you do if someone called out "faster, faster!"? Now most people, me included, would ignore (or are you all really not that demure?) But, I swear, the next time (if there is one), I will turn and yell out "sadist!" at the top of my lungs. But considering that I am huffing and puffing up a 90-degree hill, it may turn out to be a one last gasp before unconsciousness.

My sister and I sat down the other night to play Jellyn's Sailor Moon Drinking Game. I popped the old, buried DiC tape into the VCR, and possibly only after five sips into the game, I felt the urgent need to press stop or shoot my sister. It was physically, or should I say mentally?, impossible to watch the Americanized version of Sailor Moon. I am cured! Now, I was never far enough into obsession to like Rini, but I was very close to the point where listening to the opening theme gave me a head start in the morning. (Just kidding.) Now I can thankfully say "No more evil dubbed voices, no more theme songs consisting of phrases such as 'Rainy Day Man', no more pink-haired spores singing high-pitched versions of mutated children's ditties." Ah- the world is truly a better place to be.

Here there be spoilers.
If Yui were a lesbian it would have solved a lot of problems. For example, her jealousy over Tamahome and Miaka's relationship would never have existed. (Well, on the other hand, there still could be a jealousy over Tamahome and Miaka's relationship...) Suboshi would never have gotten it into his 16-year old head that he was supposed to defend Yui to the death, and Nakago would have had to think of another way to carry out his evil plans of manipulation. Although, as Jen pointed out, he could always stick Soi on her. But would Soi really do that for Nakago? She worships him, but would she actually fall for "Here, Soi, I'll love you if you go sleep with Yui"? Or am I just trying to make Soi have more independent thoughts because I answered to her name one day? Don't ask.

A guy walked into the library the other day. He reminded me very much of Sparks. Of course, I didn't have the nerve (maybe this should be a gaining of tact...? ;) to tell him this. In the lovely, muddled way that my brain tends to work, this revelation quickly led to hopes that another flute-wielding character would walk in. (Okay, Brenna-- Kaika's yours. :P Damn straight, he's mine.) But this is the real world, as my mother so often tells me :|, and I was reduced to shelving the romance novels again. (Why?! Why did they let Fabio write a book??) Shelving romances is really not that bad. If you keep an IQ level of 2 that is. (Many apologies to people who actually read those things. ;) You get to comment on how many times the words 'virile' and 'rogue' are used, and as Serena suggests, contemplate on how many women really *were* spies for the Confederacy during the Civil War. Tasuki will come and save me.
