Watched a cool Buffy vid that's been sitting on my hard drive forever. Song is "Slave to the Wage" by Placebo, video by Corn_child. Any relation to corngirl_jo?

It was a cool video. The entire 7 seasons of events, backward. Left me feeling a bit sad at moments, like, "If only we paused here at this moment, they could have been happy." Or even further back, or further back, until none of it ever happened. Which is sad.

I'm currently applying for housing at UC Irvine.

The Residence Halls are named after Tolkien characters and places.

Dudes, I could be LIVING in the Shire next year. Or in Rohan or Lorien.

Who knows... maybe I'll find my own blond-haired Legolas amongst my dormmates...

I watched the final episode of FLCL/Furi Kuri. In a humongous file size, dubbed like the rest that I've seen.

The ending was wonderful. God, this whole show was wonderful, even at just 6 episodes. Every anime fan should watch this if they haven't already.

I want to talk about it... but what can I say?

"Excuse me random person, but I think you watch this 6-episode animated tv show made in Japan. You see, there's this giant iron in the middle of the city. Yeah, a like clothes iron. And then later there's a giant hand. To smooth out the wrinkles in the world. And there this brat kid with robots that come out of his forehead and this insane alien woman. And... does that glazed look in your eyes mean you'll need me to repeat some of this?"

Ah, screw it. It can't be explained. But I did understand more of it than I expected from other people's reviews. I actually followed the plot and the character themes and stuff. Right now I have a great picture on my desktop, from the end of the manga of Naota with a guitar on the pile of rubble.

I love this show. I need to watch it again.
