Argh! I am so sick of studying already! It is so bad that I have actually started my Yuletide story as a means of procrastination.

In other news, I've attempted snuggling with the rats on the sofa while studying, as opposed to on the bed. Ren cuddles nicely, especially if I scritch his cheeks or behind his ears; if I stop, he'll keep his eyes closed and stay still for a few seconds in hopes that I'll resume again shortly. But after a while, he gets bored, makes a flying leap off the couch, and dashes to freedom.

I think I have aptly renamed Ed and Al, as Al has grown much bigger than Ed and can probably still beat him up if he so chooses, but doesn't often choose to. Ed, on the other hand, is small and crazy full of energy; while Al is curled up under the covers, Ed is scampering around the bed and sniffing at everything. On the other hand, if I drag Al out alone, he starts at all the scary noises and then stuffs himself inside my sweatshirt sleeve. This is somewhat awkward, as he refuses to come back out, so I have been walking around the apartment for the past half hour with a rat curled up by my forearm.

People! Entertain me! Or else I will just spam LJ more!

ETA: Spoilers for Demon Ororon in comments! (Most is spoiler texted out, but I got my code wrong, so mine is not.)

What's the worst manga/manhwa/manhua you've ever read?

[oyceter]

Oooo, that's hard. There are a lot of bad ones, but they're usually so bad that I can't quite look away, like Love Pistols or Moon Child. And then there's the ending of Kare Kano, which is in its own category of horrible badness and I STILL HATE IT AND AM RESENTFUL!!!

[rachelmanija.livejournal.com]

Love Pistols and Moon Child both strike me as awful and great at the same time, which I suppose is what makes them more compelling than a lot of books that are much better overall.

I am now afraid to start Kare Kano!

You are assuming we object to spamming!

*thinks*

I have started reading Angel Diary which I think I first heard about from you. I'm up to Vol 6 and very much enjoying it, but am worried about when I start reading it roughly as it comes out, instead of 6 volumes within a few weeks.

[oyceter]

I know! I have been reading it when it comes out, and because of that, I have absolutely no idea what's going on at all. It's pretty fluffy, but it's fluff I like. Also, heaven and hell and cross-dressing! Always good by me...

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

Yyyyyeeesssss. And interesting takes on the crossdressing, at that. And it slightly bugs me that I can't figure out exactly who the her fiance! (I mean, sure, we know who she'll end up with-unless rocks fall and everybody dies-but!)

And it's a nice way to relax yourself after Angel Sanctuary, as it's similar stuff, but lighter, saner, and with less incest. (I tried Demon Ororon for that, too, but ended up depressing myself after the promising beginning...)

Have you looked at the Yuletide countdown recently?

[oyceter]

Nooo... I've been trying to pretend it doesn't exist... Sigh. Maybe I will go take a break from studying and brush up on source material again.

I think I will knock off and have dinner. I haven't eaten anything all day but a few cookies at breakfast. Because someone didn't bring me takeout.

Has Coniraya told you about the game we played last week? We played In a Wicked Age, where we created a story about how a shadow-demon girl born of blasphemy became her own father and ascended as a self created goddess of corruption. It was cracktastically good.

In other news, I have Netflix streaming through my Xbox. Which means if you ever NEED to see something right away, and it's available on Netflix instant, you can just swing down and we'll watch anime, movies, whatever. Also- some are in High Definition (Pan's Labyrinth!).

That's about it!

[oyceter]

Oh cool! I actually have the Netflix streaming as well, but have been too busy to take advantage, siiigh. And their streaming anime is dubbed, BOOO.

Shadow-demons = awesome! Also, they remind me of Marjorie Liu.

Your rats sound adorable. ♥

[oyceter]

They are so funny and cute!

[slrose.livejournal.com]

Well, this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oiLfTnrC40 cheered me up the other day.

[oyceter]

Awwww! Marmosets!

[slrose.livejournal.com]

Marmoset there'd be days like this.

[badgerbag.livejournal.com]

oooo shiny

[badgerbag.livejournal.com]

Holy hell. You would not believe what's happened. Rook and Moomin are singing along with it for the 3rd time in the next room, now, with a printout, so that Moomin can learn the lyrics properly. Father son duet, in harmony, with a DANCE.

[oyceter]

Awwwww! So cute!!

[badgerbag.livejournal.com]

noooo! entertain meeeeeee!

my procrastination is mighty!

[oyceter]

Your procrastination, or mine? ;) Together, they fight crime! save the world! ignore deadlines!

Have you read Mixed Vegetables volume 2 yet? The OMG PLOT TWIST turns out great in a way that is even kind of mature!

[oyceter]

No way! It was going to be my relaxing brain fluff shoujo! Plot twist?

Waaah, maybe I will tachiyomi tomorrow...

[larryhammer]

I can't entertain with manga as I just recently proved that reading volumes 3 to 21 of Nodame Cantabile reduces one to the sort of flailing of arms that only Yotsuba&! overtops, to the point where if asked "What's good about it?," one responds, "Yes! That! It's good!" -- so I'll have to resort to astronomy:

There really is a Dark Doodad Nebula.

[oyceter]

Hrm, maybe I will try Nodame Cantabile some time... And I need to get my hands on Yotsuba.

Dark Doodad Nebula for the win!
