rachelmanija's. Rachel braved the insane traffic around LAX to pick me up, and then we blitzkrieg ordered at Furaibo, as the kitchen was closing in ten minutes.
So far we have gone over mustaches in Indian comics, the tragedy of Karna/Radheya, the tragedy of seeing a tragic character like Karna portrayed with a 1950s female hairstyle and sparkly plastic blue earrings, lots of squeeing over figurines (Bleach and Naruto), and much insane cackling over Yuki Kaori and OMG SHE TOTALLY FORESHADOWS! There is major foreshadowing for Godchild 6 in Cain Saga 2!
Also, we made fun of a Boromir/Aragorn doujinshi which has Boromir sexily licking blood off Aragorn's neck.
"But... ew!" I said.
"Yeah. That's just not my kink," Rachel said. "Because every time I see it, I think..."
"HIV! Blood-borne pathogens!" we both chorused.
Later on, there was a panel of Boromir and Aragorn looking very disgusted.
"They're so totally thinking, 'Ew! Why did I do that? Blood-borne pathogens!" I said.
Also, Boromir feeds Aragorn a leaf. I think this is supposed to be romantic, although it is hard to tell.
Oh! Also, Rachel says I should mention the Mahabharata translation that translates "chariot" as "car," leading to great tragic scenes like Karna's chariot wheel getting embedded in the mud as the wheel of his car getting stuck in the mud.
"I always picture a Buick in the back roads with its tires spinning and mud flying," Rachel said.
Then came the great tragic scene ofKarna Abhimanyu (I am getting this all from Rachel, as I a) cannot spell any of the names, b) haven't read it, and c) obviously get very confused about who is in whose chariot. That is exactly as dirty as it sounds), desperate for weapons, taking off the wheel of his chariot to defend himself.
Unfortunately, we both had the mental image of him taking a car tire and using it to whap people on the head.
"Redneck version of the Mahabharata!"
Oh! Also, there were chapter titles like "The Discomfiture of Shaistakhan (sp)" and "The Memorable Battle of Ghodkhind" in a kiddie history book she had. Note: "Ghodkhind" is a place, not "Godkind" spelled with extra h's. As you can tell, I am completely ignorant of Indian history, but I have a giant stack of Mahabharata comics to read now!
Tomorrow: waffles, Pinkberry, potential apocalyptic sky, and probably lots of cackling over the cracktasticness.
PS,yhlee, do you want to be kidnapped for dinner? I brought 17 vols. of Angel Sanctuary JUST FOR YOU! (ok and for rachel too. but still! 17 vols.!)
