Interim
It's one of those nights where you're just not sure if you should sit down and enjoy a movie, or embark on global conquest (but not before washing those pesky dishes), or curling up with a good book. However, all of these things should be enjoyed with either a cold beer or warm Sake. And dammit, we're all out of both. Ideally this will be remedied with the next paycheck...unless all the spare splurging money I get winds up being used to trim this growing mane of unkemptness I call my hair.
In the meanwhile, Mel's taking a break from glaring at my laptop and muttering many strings of curses and vulgarities at the English paper she has to finish up for tonight, and instead is having Jigglypuff beat the crap out of every other opponent in Super Smash Bros.
I myself have been rediscovering
Evangelion. Unexpectedly, I managed to acquire the platinum DVD slimcase box set for a surprisingly low price. True, in order to procure it, I had to take a chunk of money I'd already set aside for blowing at Anime North's dealer's room...but hey, the EVA box set was on my hitlist anyways, so this is just like Christmas coming early.
A Christmas where the Angels are more likely to be blowing big-assed, cross-shaped holes in your living room as opposed to being perched daintily upon your tree, mind you. But Christmas never the less.
It's been a loooooong while since I ventured back into Studio Gainax's magnum opus, and I can safely say:
1) EVA remains one of
the best anime titles ever produced, period
2) the last 2 episodes still don't make a whole lot of sense in terms of the overall consipracies
3) and yes, Anno was definitely on crack when he directed this series
There's very little else to comment on here, life or get-a-life-and-stop-babbling-about-EVA otherwise, so we'll just segueway right into today's instalment of
Oh, The Strange & Scary Things You Hear Customers Say In Passing.
Such as, "How my cell phone ended up in her snowblower, I have no idea."
Or the classic, "And now he's, like, all pissy because he walked in on me with his best friend and his sister!"
Sometimes I wish I was making this up. But at least it puts the surrealness of my life into perspective. They have have their snowblowers and friendly...er, menages. I'll stick with my puppets and fanfics and sacrifices made to appease my raging ego, thanks.
