Saturday, October 26, 2002 *giggles* Oh god...Am reading Good Omens again for like the fourth time...and this part has got to be one of my favorites...heehehehee...sooo funny... "The point I'm trying to make," he said, brightening, "is the dolphins. That's my point." "Kind of fish," said Aziraphale. "Nononono," said Crowley, shaking a finger. "'S mammal. Your actual mammal. Difference is " Crowley waded through the swamp of his mind and tried to remember the difference. "Difference is, they- " "Mate out of water?" volunteered Aziraphale. Crowley's brow furrowed. "Don't think so. Pretty sure that's not it. Something about their young. Whatever." He pulled himself together. "The point is. The point is. Their brains." He reached for a bottle. "What about their brains?" said the angel. "Big brains. That's my point. Size of. Size of. Size of damn big brains. And then there’s the whale. Brain city, take it from me. Whole damn sea full of brains." "Kraken," said Aziraphale, staring moodily into his glass. Crowley gave him the long cool look of someone who has just had a girder dropped in front of his train of thought. "Uh?" "Great big bugger," said Aziraphale. "Sleepeth beneath the thunders of the upper deep. Under loads of huge and unnumbered polypol polipo bloody great seaweeds, you know. Supposed to rise to the surface right at the end, when the sea boils." "Yeah?" "Fact." "There you are, then," said Crowley, sitting back. "Whole sea bubbling, poor old dolphins so much seafood gumbo, no one giving a damn. Same with gorillas. Whoops, they say, sky gone all red, stars crashing to ground, what they putting in the bananas these days? And then-" "They make nests, you know, gorillas," said the angel, pouring another drink and managing to hit the glass on the third go. "Nah." "God's truth. Saw a film. Nests." "That's birds," said Crowley. "Nests," insisted Aziraphale. Crowley decided not to argue the point. "There you are then," he said. "All creatures great and smoke. I mean small. Great and small. Lot of them with brains. And then, bazamm." *snickers* They seem to have lots of nice conversations when drunk. That was when Crowley was trying to persuade Aziraphale to stop Armageddon. These two are sooo delightfully British and I love the style that the books been written in. Nice and rambling and seemingly pointless. Terry P. and Neil G. are my gods... I also liked the "I don't expect you normally have these. They're what you call cookies. We call them biscuits." part from Sister Mary when she was speaking to someone she assumed was an American...God this book is funny...only thing is, if you're not English, you might not get the gist of some jokes... Ohhhhhh...ROFLMAO...another favorite part of mine....Crowley trying to explain the concept of eternity...These two are soo slashable...hehhehehee... "You know what eternity is? You know what eternity is? I mean, d'you know what eternity is? There's this big mountain, see, a mile high, at the end of the universe, and once every thousand years there's this little bird..." "What little bird?" said Aziraphale suspiciously. "This little bird I'm talking about. And every thousand years..." "The same bird every thousand years?" Crowley hesitated. "Yeah," he said. "Bloody ancient bird, then." "Okay. And every thousand years this bird flies-" "-limps-" "flies all the way to this mountain and sharpens its beak." "Hold on. You can't do that. Between here and the end of the universe there's loads of..." The angel waved a hand expansively, if a little unsteadily. "Loads of buggerall, dear boy." "But it gets there anyway," Crowley persevered. "How?" "It doesn't matter!" "It could use a space ship," said the angel. Crowley subsided a bit. "Yeah," he said. "If you like. Anyway, this bird-" "Only it is the end of the universe we're talking about," said Aziraphale. "So it'd have to be one of those space ships where your descendants are the ones who get out at the other end. You have to tell your descendants, you say, When you get to the Mountain, you've got to-" He hesitated. "What have they got to do?" "Sharpen its beak on the mountain," said Crowley. "And then it flies back" "-in the space ship-" "And after a thousand years it goes and does it all again," said Crowley quickly. There was a moment of drunken silence, "Seems a lot of effort just to sharpen a beak," mused Aziraphale. "Listen," said Crowley urgently, "the point is that when the bird has worn the mountain down to nothing, right, then‑" Aziraphale opened his mouth. Crowley just knew he was going to make some point about the relative hardness of birds' beaks and granite mountains, and plunged on quickly. "then you still won't have finished watching The Sound of Music." Aziraphale froze. "And you'll enjoy it," Crowley said relentlessly. "You really will." There's actually fanfics for 'Good Omens'! Heeheehee...This really great, funny book that I read a while back...Heeheehhee...This is great...and I thought I was the only dirty minded person who thought that Crowley and Aziraphale had a slashy relationship going on! Bwahahahaha... There's something infinitely intriguing about a Devil getting it on with an Angel...*snerk* Anyways, just read it if you like, ne. Good Omens By Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett Ah, for Solly, me thinks you will like the book Lost Souls by Poppy Z. Brite. Incestous relationship (75 year old vampire dad getting it on with 15 year old son), Underage boys getting it on with other underage boys, vampires getting it on with other vampires and so on. Pretty good read...my fave character was Zillah cos he's pure evil...Bwaahahhahaa...And I sort of liked Ghost. And it's actually nothing like Anne Rice's vampires...She has a completely different style. Her concept of vampires are completely different (for one thing, they can move around in sunlight) More gritty. Less of Anne Rice's flowery words and long windedness. Me can send it to yah if you like. Or just d/l it from #bookz...
Babysat for Sam last night, the darling. Apparently, Con just bought his first house without any contributions from Daddy whatsoever. Am so proud of that idiot. About time...Heeheehee... Though of course, he works for dad so in an indirect way I guess our old man is still paying for the place. Anyways, it's only like...four block away from our house, I thought Con's wife would have some sort of argument about living in Isaacs since Mum and Dad would be so close to them but apparently she liked the idea. Meanwhile, dearest Nathaniel and his wife have decided to move into the guest house at the back of the house. They think they'll be able to 'save' money then. This is a load of bullshit since they're not the ones paying for the house that they're renting right now anyways. Me, I'm sticking to where I am now. I like it here, don't see why my brothers feel the need to constantly move themselves around. It all just seems to be such a big hassle to me. Besides, compared to the apartments that my other friends live in, the place that Mel found for us is a bloody penthouse. Anyways, so Sammy came over to stay for the night. Not sure why. Con didn't really say. He just called up and told me that he was going to drop him over for the night and didn't even listen when I told him that I was going to be going out, control freak bastard. So I couldn't go out and I was bloody bored. There went my night. Of course, I love Sam but for god's sake...Actually, I find it sort of amazing that someone who didn't even trust me with the care of his gold fish when I was a little kid suddenly sticks me with his kid... Ahh, attitude changes brought around by desperation. I didn't do anything that whole afternoon T__T. I watched Mary Poppins with Sam one and a half times...T__T God...I never want to see that movie again. Then I insisted that we watch something else. I was thinking Yami no Matsuei but decided against it since I thought he'd probably freak. Melanie did when I got her to sit down to it once, though I think that had more to do with Muraki constantly groping/molesting/making a move on Tsuzuki every time they saw each other. Same held true for Gravi ('that is soo perverted! Why the hell are you watching this stuff, Mackie?' And I didn't find Gravi at all perverted...) but Mel seemed to like Fushigi Yuugi and Ayashi no Ceres...Figures...I didn't like AnC much... So in the end, though he can't read yet and couldn't understand a single thing since it was all in Japanese, we watched Saiyuki...heehee, another one of Mel's hated shows cos she thinks 'there are underlying sexual hints among those characters. Especially between the blond and the kid with the crown. Wait...Is that like..incest? The blond guy is the kid's dad or brother, right? Not to mention the unsuitable amount of gore.' which was pretty much what she said when she found out that I was 'subjecting my little nephew to such things.' I ask you, what sexual hints? There are none...besides Yaone's risque costume that I was always afraid would tear apart and expose all of her for the guys to see, Lirin's ample, prominently displayed bosom and her constantly throwing herself at the 'baldie monk', Gojyo's occasional dirty comment and that adorable piccy at the second season ending theme where Gojyo has an arm around Hakkai (very suggestive...heehehehe...Okay, the second season ending theme sequence had a *lot* of yaoi fodder). There's just the closeness among the members of Sanzo's group that sends the mind of the hentai fangirls working...hehehhehehehee.... Anyways, she shouldn't have worried cos Sam didn't pay much attention to anything other than Hakuryuu and Hakuryuu doesn't do much anyways...just flies around, turns into a jeep...heeheehee... Shout Outs Juju: It wasn't my fault. For some reason, they both hated me first...I don't know why...My sisters in law really just don't seem to like me... Chibby: I resent that comment about just substituting Rukawa and Kogure's name with Sanzo and Hakkai's! That is sooo not true! Seriously! and you need to extract the soft side of Sansan precisely because he never shows it, poor frigid thing, and who better to do that than Hakkai? And to a lesser extent, Goku. Heehehe...And you didn't read what I just said to Juju! I said that Sanzo and Hakky's character were nothing like Rukawa and Kogure's. And I never said anything about Hakkai being similar to Kogure either. Kogure is an all around nice, wimpy guy. Like that time when that Judo guy was trying to bribe Hana with those pics of Haruko, he couldn't even face Judo guy on his own, right? Hakkai is completely different. He appears to be really nice, but he's really a psycho, like that time he broke someone's arm with that spooky smile still on his face (I think it was the eppy with the coffin guy...The Undertaker or something...When the guy pissed him off by hurting Hakuryuu? Anyways, don't you looove that smile of his? Ermm...You know...The one near the ending when they gate crashed Homura's place and Hakkai was turning into his youkai form and he was slooowly approaching those supposedly invincible youkais and was about to take off his ear cuffs? Heeheee...He looked lovely there...) Linkies Ohhh...Like here in Hakkai goes Youkai...heehehe...He looks perfectly evil...Isn't he looovely???? *huggles youkai Hakkai* An Introduction to Saiyuki = Pretty in depth character profiles...heehee...useful for ficcys and such... Basilisk = Go right down to the bottom. A loooovely Hakkai x Sanzo doujinshi, some hentai parts (Not that bad, IMO) but goddamit those two look good together... Forget Me Not = A Jap Sanzo x Hakkai/Hakkai x Sanzo site. Just poke around the gifts section and all that cos there are some pretty nice illustrations...I think the really nice piccy of youkai Hakkai is there...dunno why he has all those vines all over him, I know that he gets those when he turns youkai but don't get what they are...hehehhehe...
Was called back home by a lonely dad since he can't occupy himself with arguing with mum over the outrageous amount she spent on clothes, what with mum being away and all...heehee...should be back by Wednesday night though... My bros came over and it was a veritable family reunion, unfortunately. I brought Migs and Nate brought his friends from the Canberra Irish Club (No sign of the wife...*snerk* I knew she hated my family. And the feeling is mutual. At least for me.) and they decided to take it upon themselves to teach Migs the 'beautiful' sport of Gaelic football in the backyard. Luckily enough, no one injured, no one got killed. I think they killed the lemon tree somehow though, snapped it right in half... and I was nearly bored to death by dad and idiotic Con squabbling about something or the other that I couldn't understand...but my adorable little nephew was there and I loooove that kid and he's sooo lucky that he didn't end up looking like his dad!!! I want a baby just like Sammy one day...He is just sooo adorable with his pretty blond hair and the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen on a little kid. I just can't help gushing over him when I see him. He's sooo cuuuuutteee and miracle of miracles, he came from Con and that bitchy wife of his! -__- A bit of social blogging: Juju: Heeheehee...You've always been very blunt with me dearie...heehehee...thankies. And yes, me am taking more time to read through stuff now...heeheehee. And Chibby would be angry with you if you said that Sanzo x Hakkai was like RuKo, ne Chibby? She claims that there's absolutely no similarity, though I do think that the whole sweet, kind guy bringing out the softer side of the 'bastard' angle is similar, Sanzo and Hakkai's characters don't much resemble Rukawa and Kogure's at all. Anyways, am going for a late night snack with Mel, she seems to be a lot nicer these days, am glad for that.
