More Enjoyment of Media

** I'm through episode 10 of Tiger and Bunny, and of course it was a cliffhanger, eee! We would have watched more episodes last night but I was having trouble burning a DVD. (I never watch stuff on the computer - I am fussy and must have a nice DVD to put into my player so I can see them on the nice, big TV.) I am still avoiding everyone's spoilers, but it's difficult, I tell you, because I am a spoiler whore.

** Speaking of anime, did anyone ever fansub the Saiyuki Gaiden OVA, and I just missed a download somewhere?

** I'm about a third of the way through the first George RR Martin Game of Thrones book (A Sword of Ice and Fire? or is that the series name?). Anyway, overuse of epithets by the author aside, almost NOTHING GOOD has happened in this book yet. So far it's bad happening followed by dark, confusing intrigue followed by bad happening. When something halfway decent does happen, there's so much Dark Intrigue that I can't trust it to be truly good. Um... does good stuff start happening in these books at all?

** In other reading good, I have a set of Bleach 1-27 thanks to conjure_lass, and I'm already through volume 1. I'm totally enjoying that so far.

Happy Labor Day Holiday to all of those in the US! Whee, cookout today. EDIT: and to Canadians, too, for I learn that y'all have "Labour Day."

Are you a ho for the sad? :) Hee, just teasing. I know the series is incredibly popular, so I thought I'd give it a chance, but I guess it's not for everyone. ♥

Well, my friends do tell me I like uh, torturing my characters. lol But yeah, it's definitely NOT for everyone. The first three books are the best. The fourth and fifth are...good, but not that great. :)

I'd recommend you read works by Ellen Kushner, specifically her Swordspoint novels. They're great. ♥

Hee! I don't mind some torture, as long as there's an equally high "up" to come along at some point. :)

I have heard good things about Swordspoint! I'll put them on my list. ♥
