"Letter Bee" is airing! ^_^

So you don't like the term: "Yama the bad guy?" Sorry about that. But what am I going to do with all these wanted posters I made? ;_;

Hahaha, just playing with ya bud! :)


MidnightGorgonzola? Yet a second possibility for a future username! :D

Well I have been sleeping much better now. If I am having my problems though, I put the radio real low and listen to Jazz music. It purrs me to sleep.

Cold tea is fine too, but what the heck I'll drink it now! :)

So in all seriousness, do you have any plans on what you want to do at your next job? Also, how come you got layed off/quit in the first place? :(

Yo Yama, long time no chat...again. I was actually thinking about commenting you a few days ago, but I thought maybe you were busy these past few weeks.

Oh yeah, I did change my name eh? :P Reason is because I changed it to this name on other sites I am on a few weeks ago. So to keep my name the same on all sites that is why I did it here. Besides, what could be better than eating cheddar at midnight? XD

Anyway, you can still call me Ziggy if you want, no problem.

Ah so you have been MMORPGing around I see. Never played that game. Only World of Warcraft and Guild Wars. I have been busy with short titles as of late, trying to finish up the currently airing programs and a few others.

Nope, no tea for me, you know I have to have the Yama brand style.

Nothing new much going on with me...same ol same ol. Leaving to go out with a friend in a few minutes.

How's work been?

Hey there Yama, I was wondering what happened to you, glad to be chatting again! :)

Whoa, finally an English adaption has come, thought it would never get here, I am still counting down the days till the actual anime airs...among others of course!

Ah okay thank you for explaining the differences with CCS and K-ON! in BD. Honestly, I forgot we were even talking about that! ^_^;

So how have you been mate?

Thanks for the tea, don't be such a stranger dude!

Okay man, sounds like the anime might be worth picking up,if I get some extra time this month I'll see if I can check it out. I am still counting down the days until "Kobato" airs, not till October though, so the wait continues for me. :( I am a CLAMP nerd as you probably know.

Man I honestly haven't watched an episode of Cardcaptor Sakura in about a year, really should get back to seeing it. Every time I hear the background music a flood of memories starts coming back to me. So did the quality look like a 3D sort of way, what's the difference?

No no no, not at all man, high quality video is always better. But K-ON!, how did you watch it in that format? Internet...television? Sorry, probably a dumb question for me to ask.

*drinks Lady Green tea*

Thanks Yama, you have a good rest of the day too man, take it easy out there! :)

I have a friend at work who's been a big fan of Sweeney Todd since the 70s, so I've seen it and liked it well enough (the theatrical version, not the Tim Burton movie). Same friend is cautious about Dan Simmons's Hyperion because she was very deeply disturbed by some of the horror trappings.

I, personally, had to work myself up to horror of that nature; I've never liked violence too much and even super-cheesy live-action gore special effects (think Bruce Campbell movies) are frequently too much for me. I'm (obviously) a little more comfortable with violence and horror and such, but I can't watch (or read) something just to get off on the shock-thrill of violence and carnage, I have to like the story that underpins it. So you're not alone, I feel / have felt the same way. I spent a year refusing to watch Higurashi because it was "scary" and "disturbing" (which it was, except I found that I liked it). I pulled the same stunt on Mushishi and had to seriously shift my perspective for me to come around to liking it.

Which, I think, is generally what taste comes down to anyway, for me. If I can't attain the perspective necessary to like / enjoy something, then I probably don't like it. And vice versa.

I'm guessing you just don't like the Grand Guignol-style and/or penny dreadful-style narrative, which is perfectly fine; I can't really explain why I like them either, as I can sometimes barely figure it out myself. But, then, I can't figure out how most things I like fit together in a neat, tidy picture, so...

I think sometimes I'm just the modern version of the 19th century Romantics but that may be because all those fun melancholic words are among my favorite words. Or something.
