The Fall of Inu Yasha fic

I hadn't realized just how far the Inu Yasha fandom had fallen until I attempted to find a good story to read. So far I've been through 20 pages on ff.net and only found one potentially decent fic. Damn Cartoon Network...

Oh, and if I see one more "Kagome gets raped in the Sengoku Jidai" fic...grrr...

Out of curiousity, I counted up how many books from the BBC's 100 book list I've read and came out with 34. Terry Pratchett has served me well. Some of the books on there are pure travesty though... *goes back to reading obscure historical books*

Spent the day reading mysts and studying. I'm getting the urge to write some mysts of my own, but they really do take a bit of time and effort. I read the perfect story to tackle first though - Rurouni Inuyasha, with Kenshin as the reincarnation of Kikyou/Kagome and such priceless phrases as "He hadn't seen a body this thoroughly killed since the feudal era, when demons still walked the earth." *snickers* So tempting...

Have read through old exam papers to see what I'm up against. *cue despair* I hate enviormental archaeology. It makes no difference to me if elms were growing here 10,000 years ago, or if valley alluviation is the work of early farmers/hunter/gathers. I suppose I'm just not into prehistoric archaeology. I prefer to know a bit more about a people than "they lived here. they ate deer. they made white pottery with squiggly lines on it". I like to have some type of historical narrative to depend on, no matter how scanty... which is probably why, I, to the despair of my tutors will be going on into historical archaeology. Still, the megalithic phenomena is quite sexy...

Good anime night

Anime night tonight was great! We started off with some show I can't remember the name of with lots of mecs. I spent my time chatting with L. about Kenshin and pretending I wasn't going to let her borrow my Kenshin manga. Watching her beg has become one of my favourite pastimes. I'm so mean *eg*

Next was Azumanga Diao, which was just adorable and fun. I need to make a Chiyou-chan icon that says "far too cute" on it. Afterwards we watched Now and There, Here and Then which I sensibly read through.

After that was an episode of the Animatrix. It was surprisingly good in both plot and story quality (most of them are lacking on story quality I've noticed). We were a bit weirded out/amused when it stopped working right at the point where the main character entered a faulty/forbidden part of the Matrix. As one of the guys said, "Okay, that's too ironic." We got it working eventually though.

Next was Kenshin, the three pirate episodes all at once in preparation for starting the Kyoto arc next week. Just watching everyone's jaws drop simply at the previews for episodes 28-30 was very nice, since they've been giving L. and I crazy looks at our worship of those episodes...

Our final show was Excel Saga, episodes 23-25, which basically means we're finished with the series except for the bonus ep. What a fun ride. L. nearly chocked to death on her pillow as she tried to stop laughing at the DBZ parodies. And the Fist of the North Star stuff! We were rofl most of the time, except for the serious episode in which we were only snickering;)
