salineaSometimes I hate my mum. Like when she barges in my room at 8:15 am, yelling at me at the top of my lung for about 3 minutes about how much of a failure I am and I should do this and this and that when I haven't slept 5 hours yet and I have a cold.
Granted, I understand why she's upset right now, both for herself and for me, but it's still not my favourite way to wake up.
Yesterday we went to the movie theater with my cousin. The movie was pretty much forgettable (Garden State, decent, overuse of good music for cheap pathos, a few couple of ideas stretched up to superficiality, and very much a gerationnal movie) but Ihad the most amazing of talk with her. It's funny, having someone who's family yet not close family allows you to tell them things you could not tell anyone else. At some point we both laughed and admited we hadn't ever told those kind of things to anyone before and it felt weird saying them aloud. We also talked about my uncle and my grand mother's death which happened two years ago.
My cousin's a very sweet person, she's adorable.
Meant to do a post about all the books I bought last tuesday. I snapped and suddenly spent a lot of money, though I have to blame a lot of it on synchronicity. Like, it was my fault that the Kiseki 3 magazine was out the same day the new volume of Fables was out, so I HAD to buy them, and since the chess board was finally out too I might as well get it, right ? And it's not my fault i found out about this only after I had found 4 volumes of Combination and the first one of Count Cain at a bargain sale, plus the Stress of her Look by Tim Powers in a very old edition for 3€ and then figured out i might as well get that Sarah Ash first volume book because i'd never find it at a cheap price like that... *big breath* Errr, yeah.
Kiseki was decent enough, as usual for the magazine. There were some nice little words explanation about the magic but that's about it.
The chessboard's main value is the cute little chibi picutres drawn on the box supposed to hold the magazine. Does anyone know a place with them scanned ? They're really adorable !
Combination is a manga I love. Made by an ex of the Clamp (originally after novels by Nanase Okawa (they feature in Choten)) who then took hold of the serie for herself, it deals about a pair of cops of a very different temper who chase a corrupted politician.
Hashiba looks a little bit like TB!Seishirou, complete with useless glasses and a cheerful dorkish attitude he uses to hide his angst past (TM)
And Sasaki looks like a grown up Suoh, talks even less than Yasha-Ou and doesn't even complain when he's got to do all the paperworks for the pairs. Extremely serious, and have a knack for appologizing flatly in a way that tends to freak out people. He also the roommate of an Inomoyama Tsuzuku whom I swear is the reincarnation of Kujaku who he claims to want to protect at any cost (he's getting nicknamed "Pochi" for that ^^)
By the third volume the art changes completly as Sei Leeza starts drawing herself, and a new kid, Toshiro, who's the corrupt politician runaway son, joins the triangle. Well, kid, he's supposedly 21 years old but doesn't look like it. Reminds me greatly of Kamui, except much more cute. Or at least I much more fond of him. And we start getting totally set up for HashibaxToshiro. Add lots of Imonoyama but not alas any Nokoru, a coul woman named Youko who looks a bit like Karen with shorter hair, a cute little hacker child and the various minions of the corrupt politician and you've got a manga with crappy plot but very enjoyable character interaction ^^
Anyway, I know there's only 5 volumes translated in French and I have no idea if there's any more coming or when ;_;
Fables was great as usual. Makes me want to play changeling again, as usual.
