• rachelmanija has finished her excellent series of posts on PTSD: Parts I, II, and III


• She's also started reading Angel Sanctuary! My joy cannot be contained! Also, spoil her and have your brain taken over by Rosiel.


• rilina and yhlee continue to watch Gundam Wing. My joy is still not contained! OMG people watching and getting into my beloved first anime series despite its mecha-ness!


• I'm sure everyone has already seen the post-apocalyptic cities posters for I Am Legend but I wanted to highlight the fact that they have TAIPEI and SEOUL! EEEEEEE! (I love Hong Kong, but I feel HK is featured much more often than Taipei and Seoul! OMG! Taipei! National monument that is only a few blocks away from my apartment!


• I have taken the plunge, put my Netflix account on hold, and started Blockbuster. I blame my sister. On the minus side, Blockbuster only has DVDs 7-10 of GWing. On the plus side.... THEY HAVE DAMO ON DVD!!!!!


• shewhohashope hosts the 5th POC in SF Carnival and focuses on non-Western fantasy, including... WUXIA! (yes, I am a little obsessed right now) I particularly rec meganbmoore's wuxia primer for those of you like me who only know you like swords and flying people and historical costumes and have no idea what to watch outside of two or three things. And it's good for people who have absolutely no idea what wuxia is too! Win-win!

I should actually catch up on book and TV posting but... oh well. Soon.

Bwahaha! I am evil! I must share the crack!

But um, yes. And she is not the usual "spirited" ass-kicking heroine. I do not mind them if they actually do have spines, as opposed to only saying they have spines, but I also like the quiet stoic ones too.

My latest favorite Chae-Ohk thing: she is tied up and hanging from a tree branch, and the male villain threatens her sexually by tearing open her top (stay with me!), and then! Before the romantic interest/hero/commanding police officer gets there! She flips up in the air and kicks the guy all while tied to the branch and then does something so when all the troops get there, she has already vanquished him! I think I cheered out loud.

shewhohashope lured me in with pic spam.
