I blame the book I just read. Said book being [livejournal.com profile] seanan_mcguire's 'Rosemary and Rue.'

If I had to explain this book in 25 words or less, I'd call it a mystery, set in present day San Francisco...

And it has fairies in it. But I don't mean Tinkerbell.

Very few people around me have read 'War for the Oaks' - even fewer know anything about the lore besides 'they have wings, right?' and maybe some mental leavings from the Gnomes books that were so popular back in the day.

I ask them to take what they know - and what-if that into 'what would that look like if it was still present today?'

I've gotten some very thoughtful stares, and then they want to see the book. Soon, I won't get it back again, I'm sure of it.

It's an urban fantasy mystery - all parts equal and seamless. You get expository tossed over the shoulder 'here, take this - you'll need it later, and oh by the way, this is how THAT works, don't touch it' in the midst of a very belieavable protagonist's struggle to find her footing, as well as find the answers behind a friend's murder. Find them quickly - or else.

The story clips along easily, the writing style is both lush, concrete...and spare. No words wasted, no unneeded side trips taken.

And I think you could hand this book to anyone wanting a good book to read - frankly, the violence is no worse than any fan fiction I read in my teens for Man From UNCLE - you might have to weigh handing it to a 14 year old, but you'd know your 14 year old better than I do - a preference for science fiction, fantasy or mysteries not required. You don't need to have preference for fae fic or some such. All questions are answered here, all things explained...while you're hanging on for dear life. It's a total romp.

I've got a dear friend in the hospital I might be able to visit on my way out to my mother's house this weekend - I think I'll leave my copy with him and buy some more later.

It's an excellent first book -

I bought one of the Yawara boxsets from my old buds at Animeigo on preorder.

And just got finished with it.

Any of you folks who were on the Ranma ML and so on remember the reason that license was brought back in and fucked up beyond all repair or recognition retooled because of 'ratings'? It was losing in its time slot to another show...or something.

Well, this is the show it lost to. It's vintage 80's - so vintage, it takes a moment or two to switch gears.

Then you fall in love.

First, the artwork is pretty, characters stay in model consistently and designs don't go chibi on you every other moment. You have nothing to fear, and nothing you have to get used to. It's a manga in color that moves. Scale is used effectively - and action shots are not skimped on.

Those are the production values.

Then your intelligent mind kicks in, and starts making notes of the gender issues.

Unlike Ranma, which puts the feminist issues in the context of 'one splash makes everything different again' - you get one of the best examples I can think of that shows without a doubt what it means by 'who would be special?' What you have to give up to be different - and not even in a gender fashion.

The things you give up to be more than the rest. The things that separate you from the rest of your world - from the things you want to be.

Who the fuck would be famous. Everyone else can have what you want, without trying. What you have is something everyone ELSE wants and you have as easily as breathing, and HATE.

And your family is tickled to death and won't countenance any deviation from being GRREAT.

You just want to be normal and disappear into a routine that everyone else takes for granted.

It's gender roles, preferences and who are you, really? Done seriously. We likes.

I might also add the episodes are a whole lot like popcorn - it shares that trait with Ranma 1/2 - one is just the beginning, and the show only gets better, the more you've seen of it.

This is probably going to be the anime on play for Christmas Eve Open House this year.

(And I'm dropping a note to Robert asking when the second boxset is going to be ready.)

Didn't login. Not once. I just finished doing BACK=700+, so I'm pretty sure I saw it if you posted it.

While y'all were watching the last part of Avatar, I was at the movies seeing Hellboy II with [livejournal.com profile] betnoir and [livejournal.com profile] western_slope, after a verra tasty dinner at the new location for Jerry's Deli at the Del Amo Mall. Quick and dirty? I'm very pleased - the sequel is better than the original, is absolutely gorgeous in a wow, that's filthy dirty and AWESOME broken kind of way. Danny Elfman STAYS, man. Not only do I not notice it's his stuff when I hear it (John Williams? *eye roll* Lovely stuff, but he's as recognizable as Sousa whenever the stuff plays. Same octave ranges, same pacing, same orchestration...I'm dawdling), but he has a wicked sense of musical humor.

That, by itself, had me in gigglefits. Y'all go see it, tell me I can't spoil you and I'll say more.

Then went home and tried to stay up to watch the TiVo of Avatar. Got halfway...HALFWAY...and gave it up. That tired.

Was very good and waited for Jim to get home Sunday to finish it.

Best wrap up, EVAR.

One of the things that has always impressed me with this series is its attention to physical presence, movement in real space and while there is a lot of defying gravity (ya think), the A & P is Right There, there are different kinds of bodies, heights and musculatures...then choreograph the fights past punch punch kick poof. Gorgeous stuff.

Happy to see the lack of killing - and the attention the whole matter of taking one life to save millions got. (You don't kill anyone. Ever. Disarm them and toss them into a deep, dark hole? SURE!)

Everyone able to be paired up, paired up at the end. Best hug scenes in recent memory - and so many places to hang a 'look at this more closely' - this was some fine, grade A stuff.

I'd love to see what happens next. But - it's not likely we'll see what happens right after, of course. I've heard some chatter that there is a plan to tell the next story of the avatar, after Ang - but that's only smoke and whispers at this point. (Appa, the last of his kind? Say it isn't so!)

But to the drink list, I offer this addition:

AZULA:

Take a classic Bloody Mary and add Dave's Insanity Sauce.

...

I have been battling to keep my Sims2 game running long enough to play it. Problems began creeping in after a forced 'update' of Norton Internet Security changed the core program, making it load automatically at start up, and no option to disable it once loaded. Surprise. (I had to do away with any spyware programs for the same reason.)

I may also check my version of Direct X as well - the problem manifests in graphics issues, which are a known sore point for the laptop (I already turn the shaders off with boolprop on start up, I have a really sucky GEForce GO video card chip that just won't handle the load - the rest of the machine is just peachy for running the game) - but if I move too abruptly, the screen freezes and loses it's tiny little mind.

It sucks having to reboot, reload and replay the same lot three times, lemme tellya. It also takes - well, took - about half an hour to complete that process, and pick up where I left off again.

Disabled Norton last night, and the load takes fifteen minutes. I still have a bit of the graphics issue left, but as I said, I'm going to check the Direct X version as well.

So if I've been a little pre-occupied, there's your cause. I really HATE it when something doesn't work. And I know this game runs and runs well - and this has been an issue since AX, so you can't blame a hack. (BTW, InSIM? Just about flawless as far as additions go, has made dressing Sims MUCH easier in addition to never running out of maternity clothes again. Who knew so many of the everyday meshes were mapped for maternity use? Maxis, you lazy bums. Make it selectable!) Somebody over at MTS2 has added meshes for everything in the base pack, expansions and fun packs on top of it. I've been shooting a ton of pictures - some of the Nightlife stuff is hysterical when used for maternity clothes.

...

Guys, I went food shopping this weekend and about fainted. When apples are $2 a pound, that makes them fifty cents a piece. And nothing else was much less scary.

The cat rescue group I spoke to at Petsmart said that people are even bringing in their goldfish and dumping them in the tanks near the front of the store...someone left two fish that could easily have been ten years old each, they were that huge.

Let's not talk about the nine year old cat left in a taped up box with holes punched in it at the entrance of store, okay? How did they know her age? There was a note left with her.

Do I need to have the talk about the guy from Eagle Rock, back in the day before Clinton, who got arrested from animal cruelty? He was being evicted from his apartment, had two cats and his new place wouldn't allow him to take them with him. He was arrested when, after talking to every animal care and control agency for his area, and every rescue...that nobody would take the cats. He then took them into the back yard, apologized to them, and beheaded them with a machete. Nobody would help him.

I don't question why people are dumping their animals - or condemn them. The ones who had no consciences are DONE, folks. It's people up against the wall with no assistance possible who are tossing dogs over fences, sneaking fish into retail store tanks and leaving cats in cardboard boxes at the entrances.

Fair? There's a fair held in Pomona in August.

Going to get worse before it gets better. Hang onto your seat, Fred.

You know [livejournal.com profile] yendi is doing one horror movie review a day - every day, this year. (Not reading him? Shame. Go check. I'll wait. .. See? Yup.)

But it occurs to me, after screening the film I signed up for NetFlix to see (and I was very pleasantly surprised to discover my curiosity wasn't misplaced) - that reviewing this class of films might be entertaining.

Uh, these are the ones that are so stupidly conceived, OMG why would you want to see THAT, bad, worse and too embarrassing to rent over the counter, let alone BUY - that you sign up for them on a secure-locked site and have them mailed to you.

Who wants to know?

I also was able to get the first of my 50 Book Challenge read while waiting in the freezer section jury assembly room. Will post review later.

Because, now - I go to work!
