I am bored to death. Naturally, this is because I have too many things to do, none of which I actually want to do. Also, I think my brain has been mathed out, since I've been staring blankly at Fibonacci sequence problems for a good hour straight.

So, entertain me by making me entertain you!

I was going to make a poll, but I am so brain dead that I can't even think of good poll items. Tell me what to post about or posts/comments that you'd like to see!

(And for the knitters out there, new Knitty, new Magknits and the spring/summer Vogue Knitting preview are all up, yay! I am dying for the white lace things in VK already. And Elann currently has Rowan Tapestry on sale, which I've coveted for a while but don't know what to do with. Must go home to consult patterns.)

Oh, I didn't make it to volume 5! I will have to try it again and keep going past 5. I do love ninjas, it just wasn't doing much for me at the time.

Kubo's art is something else. I am just in awe of his inks. But the story, meh. I just get attached to a character and they go spend time on someone else, whacking at things.

"Chan." Oh, ick. I couldn't make it through MeruPuri even though the art was freaking amazing. That'll show me for grabbing random stuff from the YA shelves.

I cling to the faint hope that since Aram in Merupuri apparently had his heart directly underneath the center of his sternum(!), his wacky other-dimensional species means he is legally an adult at age 7. Um.

I'll just be over here with the pretty art, not writing fanfic.

Wacky other-dimensional species, yup. His parents had a hundred-year age difference, ne?

[octopedingenue]

YES!

his suspicious sudden onset of puberty-hormone-driven behavior = totally legitimate


Poor Merupuri, all worldbuilt up and nowhere to go.

If I were ever to write MeruPuri fanfic WHICH I AM NOT, it would be about how they are all Sekritly Elves. Because? They are.

Almost you make me want to read it! Almost....

It has sexy angsty amnesia! [/pimp]

And yet! The underage-ness!

Five is the start of the chuunin exams, which are pretty funny and good. I was really confused at first, because Kishimoto introduces a boatload of new characters and I suck suck suck at remembering them, much less what their names are, what teams they are on, what their super secret ninja skills are, and what they look like. Thankfully, you don't actually need to know anything about the new characters; Kishimoto will reintroduce all of them later and much more memorably, and now I love all of them, which is a little scary because there are over ten!

And on the plus side, it makes me want to reread because now I know who everone is.

Kubo's inks! Gaaaah. Also, Kubo's grumpy chibis! But yeah, I have found it is bad to be attached to any characters, as he will introduce boatloads more and (unlike Kishimoto) often forget to make you care about them.

I've found it a lot easier to keep track of the characters in Naruto who I DON'T love, only that goes when to hell when they get all complex and sympathetic!
