Friday Geekiness

Reason 1675 why I love Mr. Mousie:

We are having dinner in a Vietnamese restaurant and I am complaining about the fact that I haven't haircut in entirely too long and as proof, I pull my bangs until they end up all the way down to the tip of my nose. He laughs and the following conversation ensues:


Mr. Mousie: I know a real test. Pull them down again and then start poking at it *pointing at a scrunched napin* going 'ooooh blood blood' in an excited voice.
Me: *trying not to laugh* I am not Sunako!
Mr. Mousie: Make me a kotatsu!
Me: *failing in attempt not to giggle* Or a hole in your head, Kyohei?
Mr Mousie: Shouldn't a proper reply be 'I'll make you a gatotsu instead'
Me: ?
Mr. Mousie: It's the killing strike used by Saito in Kenshin.
Me: I loooooove you! :D

YES. How did I get so lucky. I married a man who makes Wallflower/Yamato Nadeshike Shichi Henge jokes and tops them off by a Kenshin reference. YES.

We hit Barnes & Noble afterwards and I was most amused:

1. I found (and yes, bought) a novel which managed to turn Joan, 'Fair Maid of Kent' (mother of Richard II, wife of the Black Prince. If you are not into history, you are most likely to remember him as the character played by James Purefoy in A Knight's Tale) into a romantic heroine. I totally got it. It's not often you come across Edward the Black Prince novels :D

2. There was a book hideously entitled 'Stand Up history of French Revolution." Apparently standing up involved comparing Camille Desmoulins to Richard Federer and imagining what would happen if Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie led the revolution in America (whaaaaaa?)

3. There was a book entitled "The Physics of Buffyverse" which made me full of glee.

4. [livejournal.com profile] crumpeteer, you'll be happy to know, I almost got Punch!. It looked awesome. I'll definitely get it later.

5. I found a manga volume of Tramps Like Us, which is the manga that was turned into Kimi Wa Petto jdrama. Amusingly, the guy even looked like MatsuJun. Speaking of that, should I watch the drama? I confess the concept really freaks me out (says the girl who is eagerly looking towards MatsuJun acting out twincest). Human pets? Twincest I can deal with. Power imbalance like that in a relationship is a bit too dom/sub for me. Is it good? Is it too freaky? Should I watch it? I am veeeeery tempted.

6. I got the sequel to Twilight. YES.

And last but not least! Hanadan is dling! YES!

Heeee. He was into Kenshin before I was (and into anime in general).

Re: KwP. I don't need to love it. It just irrationally freaks me out but I sort of want to try it. It's just the concept is so creepy.

Well, I'm sure it's available to DL, so you could always just try out the first ep. It has MatsuJun with a look very close to his Gokusen look...

Oh, I already have it, burned. So yeah, never fear :) (I got it in my post-Gokusen fear and your mention of the hair makes me verrrrry tempted).

post-Gokusen fear?

One other thing about it is, IIRC, she comes up with the pet idea hoping it'll get rid of him, and he likes it(for reasons that are revealed a bit later...basically, he needs a safe place for a while) and says that's fine if sh'll let him stay, so she's kinda stuck. So it's not "You will be my pet and I will be your master!" It's a more quasi-maternal-but-we're-kinda-attracted-to-each-other thing, which works better than it sounds.

LOL. One letter really makes a difference. I meant 'fever.'

I'll check it out. Yeah, it doesn't sound as bad, you are right...

I finally realized why fictional twincest (a la "I'm in love with my little sister") doesn't bug me. there is no power imbalance. :)

yes, there is a great difference in fear and fever...

I think you'l like Kimi(a similar fever is why I got it, HYD, and Trick, though Trick was post Gokusen and Musashi)
