All 12 Japanese Chevalier DVD covers! (Spoilers.) The last one is not what I thought it would be, even if it was pretty much the only possibility. I didn't dare hope. But Lia's face looks odd.

A remake of Final Fantasy IV, coming on DS. The outfit designs for the main characters are my favourites in the game series, so this version with pretty graphics delights me. + Apparently they used only 1/4 of the script in the original game, and will be adding the rest to this release. Maybe I'll even like it this time around!


Today I learned that seagulls, reluctant to leave their nests when their chicks have hatched, eat the chicks of others seagulls if they're close and unguarded. Easy and nutritious meals.

Today I also saw my niece for the first time - she was adorable, which is alarming because I usually dislike babies. Family sentimentality. My brother and his wife don't want to reveal her name yet. :( Additionally, my sister's new puppy (descendant of one of her older dogs), whom I'd taken care of earlier this summer, was also there! She'd grown like crazy.

Now, these things have been mixing in my sleep-deprived brain and conjured all sorts of interesting images of baby cannibalism. I'd like some brain-bleach.

All good things must come to an end. I'd sort of hoped the ending would break my heart, and that it certainly accomplished. But, dear producers, what's up with the sudden drop in quality of animation in the final episode?

The rest is filled with spoilers. )

The dreams that she remembers are mostly of inane, nonsensical things - of those that reflect moments of life as it should be, her favourite is this:

The sun heats the colour of the cloth on her back as she stands before him, sitting. He marks his place on the book with his hand and turns his gaze on her instead. Touching his face now, sword calluses against the softer skin... she runs her fingers over his cheek, and further, into his pale hair.

Light ripples gently with the movement. He closes his eyes, just for a moment.

share our lives as we do the sun]

Episode 22: WHAT! That was the one duel I didn't expect to happen.

Episode 23: WHAT! I mean, YES.

Inappropriate spoiler-filled humour behind the cut )

Damn, I was so caught up in Chevalier that I forgot to drink my tea. Now it's all cold. Stupid Chevalier.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

And the rest, with exclamation points. )

Chevalier 19 & 20 )

Sunday night was a movie night, and our movie of choice was Sunshine. First it was good, and then it wasn't. Still, the first half was so smart that I'm almost willing to forgive the last half for making stop caring about anything that happened.

Besides, it had Cillian Murphy, who is hot a decent actor! A decent actor, I mean.

Only one episode in, but --

It's like a mix of Utena and Rose of Versailles*! Only not! God, I love how everyone, even the females and pretty boys have distinguishing facial features. Usually it's just the old men and ugly people.

D'Eon's Y-chromosome must be a very confused one. He's as bad as Griffith.

* in that they combine French, crossdressing females, and fencing
