So, the convention? GEtting RIDICULOUSLY close. *flail* This was the focus of Saturday's staff meeting. :p We watched some pretty fun stuff at the club meeting afterwards. We started out with Fruits Basket, which is really quite cute. Then we watched Paradise Kiss, which I'm very taken with. So Vicki, Patricia, Sara and I are going to marathon it on Friday. After that we watched Tokyo Babylon, which was more than a little crack. We ended with Robotech which was very... mid eighties science fiction. Especially the female characters. UGH the female characters in a lot of older science fiction are awful. I worked on my ficathon fic during that one. I only have one scene left!

When I got home, my interent was acting up, so I read Runaways. When did I end up going to bed Saturday night? Umm... when I ran out of Runaways. Which meant I read volumes 4-6 and desperately tried not to get attached to anyone because I know Joss Whedon is taking over the writing and he's already broken my heart ONCE. Which I suppose helped with the non-Joss related death at the end of six. Favourite line? "Oh, how novel. A Wolverine appearance." Vicki and I always play "Count how many comics include Wolverine" every time we go to Hobbyton. :p Loving this series!

I even actually made it to church the next morning despite the "when I ran out of Runaways" bedtime! And I got to go to karate for the first time in AGES. I wore my shiny green belt for the first time. :D Then I went home and played Sims. I made Star Wars Sims, but didn't have good clothes for Han. I can find clothes for every handmaiden who was in three frames of a deleted scene, but no Han Solo. What gives?

VIcki and I watched some Sailor Moon on Sunday, which is always fun... even if they're currently in a "collect seven plot coupons and then send away to the creators for a story development" arc. :p Also, I've said it once, I'll say it again: DUDE! How is ZOicite a DUDE? It's not just the hair, it's the BODY LANGUAGE!

On Monday, I discovered that water is totally my new favourite solvent. My reaction crashed out and was practically CLEAN! *Ewok dance*

Today I had fun writing my Japanese assignment. We're supposed to write about our activities this week. Trouble is, we have a really limited vocabulary, so I sound like I'm around six years old. I don't even know any adjectives, so I can talk a lot about what I ate, but I can't say that it was good. :p

My internet's been really on the blink, but Doug talked me through fixing some settings over the phone, so hopefully that will straighten itself out soon.

Robotech/Macross's female cast gets better as the show goes on, but yeah, Minmay's annoying as heck. And "I want to kill you....wait, can this be love?" plot in later episodes is also hokey.

But hey, Pineapple Salad rips your heart out everytime....

Zoicite? Don't forget the constant crossdressing. The guy has issues.

Well, that would actually make sense, since eventually science fiction heroines started improving. Right around that era, actually...

Pineapple Salad?

LOTS of issues. But is not going to the Special Hell, which is something. :p

Watch Robotech, or Macross [things makes a little more sense in Macross, and the music's nicer] when you get the chance someday. Claudia is a great character, and Pineapple Salad [don't look it up! it'd be a big spoiler] is where her character really comes into prominence in the series overall.

Minmay does grow in the series, realizing her Mary Sue-ness as it goes on. Also, Lisa's chararacter is one to watch too. Come for the giant robots, stay for the love triangle :)

Growth is our friend. As are versions in which things make a little more sense. :p
