Chobits!

[roguedreams]

I feel myself regressing..... Regressing....... Oh yes.

I spent several hours of last night revisiting some of my favourite jpop and jrock songs and wound up eventually watching the first episode of Chobits. I'd forgotten how much I love that show! It's nuts and very cute. Also I've engaged smug mode in some respects because I first watched Chobits prior to doing my degree and now I can watch it without any subtitles and no problems. Woot. Sometimes I feel justified in my somewhat-waste-of-my-time-degree.

I am now contemplating building my own tribute to the character Chii using my 60cm Obitsu body and a new head. With the application of a few accessories and some dressmaking I reckon I could have fun putting her together. I've always kind of wanted one and never gotten to it. SO, I might offer up some items for trade here on LJ. I'm mostly after a long long blonde wig with bangs, if I can get that in a trade then I should be able to justify the expense of the other stuff!

Anywho, that's it for now because I'm at work and actually have work to be doing.

In other news, I managed to raise $38.00 USD for aid for Japan, we haven't decided which charity yet, I'd like for it to go to the Red Cross effort I think.

Oh and also! more Sir David Attenborough of Physics yesterday Prof. Brian Cox. The Wonder of the Universe series is really soothing and makes you feel small. Yesterday I learnt we're all made of star dust. Everything is made of stardust. How mental is that.

I have never watched Chobits! A crying shame.

Something I think you'll appreciate, based on the Brian Cox lectures:

"Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust. You couldn't be here if stars hadn't exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution and for life - weren't created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way for them to get into your body is if these stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget Jesus.

The stars died so that you could be here today." -- Lawrence Krauss

That's pretty much what the whole episode of Wonders of the Universe was about =) It was really poetic and beautiful.

It sounds lovely, I really need to watch the Wonders of the Universe series! I've heard really good things about it :)

Hey, funny coincidence. I've also been rewatching old CLAMP anime recently and feeling smug about being to watch them without subtitles now!

(Not Chobits, sadly. I must have lent my DVDs of that to someone and forgotten about it :/)

I didn't realise Mr-I-Work-For-Nintendo needed validating! XD How's it all going for you anyway hun? I am jealous, in spades.

[mysteryperson-x.livejournal.com]

Hehe. Well, I still feel like my Japanese is way worse than most of the people around me, so validation can never hurt ;) I think I've settled into the job pretty well though. It has got pretty stressful recently with general large amounts of stuff to do in short spaces of time, but I still can't think of a job I'd rather be doing, so...I can't complain!

How's things with you?

Same old same old to be honest. Still temping. Still living in student-ville. Generally though things are pretty good though, thanks for asking :o)
