dangermousieReason 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.

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!

I just can't see that scenario completely stripped of any sexualization and if it's not, it will make me horribly uncomfortable (but if she can treat a human as a real, complete pet, it's disturbing in a wholly different, freaky way).
It's not rational, but it keeps making me uneasy.

Date: 2007-01-20 05:11 pm (UTC)Which is kinda weird, because I've watched taiwanese adaptations of mangas and loved them (ISWAK, Hana Kimi, etc). It might be a cultural humour thing, maybe.

Date: 2007-01-20 08:04 pm (UTC)If I ever got my hands on MatsuJun, most of my desires would center on taking him to an all-you-can-eat place. And if it was Kame, I'd lock him there for a week :)

Date: 2007-01-21 04:15 am (UTC)(I still haven't started it yet BUT I found a batch torrent of reasonably sized MQ files which I will promptly download and burn to dvd to watch. I have a good feeling about that one. I'm still looking for the other two, but I'm sure they'll turn up.)
Hanadan - I saw Meteor Garden, it's the same manga, right? I did like Meteor Garden... I never finished it (the torrent site I used to use never seemed to have any seeders, poo), but I was a pretty big Shancai/DaoMingSi shipper back in the day.

Date: 2007-01-21 04:50 pm (UTC)Meteor Garden is avaiable as MU dls on jdramas. (So are all the jdramas I recced). But yeah, Hanadan is the same thing.
