the whale is not a metaphor

"To ride a horse into the black."

...was somehow a legitimate saying in my dream last night. It meant that doing something the easiest way could cheapen its value. I have no idea where the saying itself fits into the meaning. Thank you, my dreaming consciousness.

However! Perhaps something like this was only to be expected, considering what I broke my brain with last night.

A convenient list of things with which I broke my brain last night

For the Garden Where All Love Ends - A discourse upon the Black Rose Saga (an essay on Mikage and Nemuro)
Adolescence Mokushiroku as Burlesque (Adolescence Mokushiroku being the Utena movie)
Fullmetal Alchemist and Utena: Narrative Negative Space and Open-Ended Closure
Random Utena trivia & random Utena thoughts
To Make An Omelette You Need To Crack Some Eggs - Nanami's misadventures in adolescence and family matters
The Prince Who Runs In The Night - A complete analysis on episode 33
• [Fic] Fairytale Ending - "Anthy knows a story..."

and, surprisingly enough, something that has nothing at all to do with Utena

• [Saiyuki meta] The Mahjong Game 1/2 and 2/2 - a recommended read for any- and everyone who has seen or read the mahjong scene in Saiyuki.


[edit] I forgot! All those previous were just things that made attempts at breaking by brain; the following is what actually did it: the opening of the Sega Saturn game (Utena). Yes, it's an official video.
