Finally started watching Noir 26 episodes (25 minutes/ea.) = 10 hours, 50 minutes. It'll take me at least a week to watch it all -- at a reasonable speed... Considering the themes/story -- visually I was expecting something darker -- like "Witch Hunter Robin" (I've had a couple of the DVD's for a while from McKays (the used book store near here) but not the complete set... finally gave up trying to get the missing episode DVDs and bought the boxed set (which cost as much as the ones I'm missing). So now I can watch the whole thing finally. (I guess I need to start selling back DVDs to McKays.)) There are a couple good Noir/BtVS crossovers (IMHO of course) by Arjen Mireille (Bouquet) and Kirika (Yumura) , the main characters, rack up quite the body count in the first episode. "Your work is just so garish" Mireille to Kirika in the 2nd episode (after their first 'job' together.) 10:54:38 PM    Notes [] Sunday Night Movie I picked up a copy of the Aeon Flux movie a couple weeks ago when I bought my new PS2. It was on sale. Finally watched it tonight... It isn't high art or even over the top action. It's a 'female action hero' movie in the same vein as the Tomb Raider movies. Mostly action/eye candy (Charlize Theron as the title character) . But rewatchable. I enjoyed watching it. I was expecting something a lot less entertaining. And I wouldn't expect a sequel to make much sense -- maybe prequels detailing her previous 'jobs'? 10:36:23 PM    Notes [] In Search of Inspiration A whole week without any serious fic writing... There are a couple stories I've tried to get into so I can start working on them again but I can't seem to write anything. It isn't "writers block" as such... just a lack of inspiration/excitement/interest in any of my current stories... Not exactly a poll but -- Anyone have any ideas? What should I spend the next week on? Besides the next installment of my TtH100 ficlets? 6:53:19 PM    Notes []
