I too just managed to pop out a little AMV I like to call "Haunted".
I think I like to call it Haunted because that's the title of the music I used for it. It's an AMV for the Hellsing series (mainly the first episode, but there's still a fair bit from later episodes, especially episode 6) done to the track "Haunted" by Evanescence.

I really like You're Not Here, the song that plays during the opening video of Silent Hill 3.

This is what happens when I plot myself into a corner on the fic I should be working on.
Pet Pals
"It's not a pet," Squall muttered.
Rinoa stared at the little blue... thing... that was standing next to Squall, moving its arms back and forth almost hypnotically. "Well, what is it, then?"

Ha! Not only did I write one, but I'm posting mine before anyone else! Ahaha!
Just when we stop doing the FFVIII challenges, I manage to write something about Squall and Rinoa, of all people. I'm pretty sure there's no need for spoilertext on this one.

Last night, I saw the end of Kenshin's Legend of Kyoto arc.
I would explain what I felt about all this, but the post would degenerate into a mass of incoherent noises, like "squee" and "waaaah". The arc is consistently good, from start to finish, and the characters keep you interested, and the plot keeps you interested.

I'd like to apologize right now for using that as a title, but I really didn't have any other ideas as something clever to say. Of course, that was probably less clever than "No, I don't have a title" but oh well.
The title really doesn't work that well anyway, considering that I'm the one who'd be getting mail, just having got myself a brand spanking new email address.

Someone recently hit The Tape with a search for "cheap DVDs in Adelaide especially Cowboy Bebop".
If you're still with us, I typically get most of my anime from Shin Tokyo, in Station Arcade off Hindley Street, and they'll typically have very good prices.

You get to choose which title you prefer. Just please don't combine them into one. Please.
So the idea is, Squall gets a pet. You get bonus points if you write another one about Angelo dying, and extra bonus points if you can combine them into one fic.

I appear to be back in the groove.
For one thing, I recently tried one of my first Heavy/Maniac difficulty tracks on DDR. And passed it. Granted, it was Let The Beat Hit 'Em!, which isn't too hard, but still...
For another, I just wrote my first fanfic since I came back from Switzerland.

And hey, they're both horror games with the number three in their title, how different could they be? The answer: I don't know yet, because I haven't played SH3.

I'm so happy. Never again will I have to go through the horror that is band camp. ...unless, of course, I do something ridiculously stupid and try out -- and make -- a college marching band. Which I'm really hoping is something I don't do. I mean, they have to memorize a new show -- which means new music and new forms -- in a week. And then move on to the next one.

I have a new computer.
It's not quite finished yet, being entirely free of an OS, and until my DVD burner comes in I won't have any kind of a CD drive and am currently borrowing Matt's and that's sad. However, it's a new computer, and at the moment I love it more than breathing.

France is stalking me.
See, I've blogged from France, I've visited France, my favourite anime* is based on some very French topics, and my parents recently went to France for two weeks rendering me unable to contact them. So far, not too much.
But, checking our referral logs and so forth, I happen upon Riona's blog**, and immediately decide to e-mail her about DOA2.

Okay, so with Series One of Rayearth, you get this little thing called the Memorial Book, which is basically three bonus ministories and a character/artifact encyclopedia. It's quite cool, really. Anyway, each of the ministories starts with a picture of the three Magic Knights, in a different situation than fighting through Cephiro.

or
"So We've Done Our Boings And Have Been Woken Up"
My idea of the perfect morning is not the same as band camp's idea of a perfect morning. I enjoy sleeping in and getting up when I want to. In band camp, we get to arrive at 8:30 in the morning and stay until 11:30, marching around in the sun holding up heavy instruments.
Also, we get to do calisthenics. Squeemuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02822163109302528933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3551736.post-1060027384783955362003-08-04T13:03:00.000-07:002003-08-04T16:28:51.316-07:00The Ballad of Hannibal
I've been thinking about Hannibal Lecter.
Actually, it would be a little more accurate to say that I've been thinking about Thomas Harris' novels: Black Sunday, Red Dragon, The Silence of the Lambs, and Hannibal. (If he has any other published stuff, I don't know about it. But I'd like to.)

I think I might've used that title before. Oh well.
I did have a nice blog all typed out, tried to post it and ended up losing everything. Technology only exists to mock me. And everyone else.
Anyway, on to previously deleted messages.

I'm chewing some really weird-tasting bubblegum.
Bubblegum that comes in the shape of tiny, tiny stakes.
That's right. It's Buffy the Vampire Slayer bubblegum. Why did I buy it? Because it comes in a little mini-lunchbox, and that lunchbox has Spike and Buffy on the front, smiling brilliantly a la Something Blue.

Having said all that stuff about Spike, I'm now going to recommend the only Buffy fics I've ever liked enough to remember the titles of. Here:
The Twelfth Sister is creepy, creepy, creepy, frighteningly plausible and very well-written. And once you've read it, make sure you check out The Twelfth Sister (Revisited). Fairly short and very cool.
