Also, kung-fu dudongs are adorable

Help, help! The kingdom of Alabasta is eating my brain and rotting my heart! ;_____;

I don't know what the FUCK is with me and minor desert kingdoms in my fandoms. I don't even like deserts that much. Sand hates me and my toes. I see Sir Crocodile's attacks and dispair...

But I promise I'll make a long Alabasta post in the future. In which I'll fangirl practically every character, regardless of gender, age, species, and prettiness.

But anyway...

Gee, mom, I think the electronic sudoku is really cool, but batteries are not included; it's a pair of AAA, and I'm too lazy to buy alkaline packs or use the rechargable ones I have for the mp3 player for that shit, when I can get sudokus online.

I've been working a bit harder but not hard enough on Object-oriented Programming practices, so it's almost like I'm productive. Also, there's a rather discriminating exercise on the second sheet:
a) a person may have an ID number or not, but when the number is set, it cannot be changed <- uh, you know, *I* changed my ID number when I got the citizenship, so it's possible in Spain... not if you're a Spaniard, but immigrants are a whole new deal...
b) a person must have a sex, it's either masculine or feminine, and it cannot be changed <- OMG oppression! what about asexuals and transexuals? and Mr. 2, Bon Clay??!!
c) a person may have a mother and/or a father; also, a man can't be somebody's mother and viceversa <- OMG oppression again! and what about the persons adopted by gay couples? what about Akira Ijuin, who has two mothers and one father?!
Yeah, I know it's for simplifying things on a rather easy exercise, but it's still kinda a medieval approach for these times. Damn you abstraction.

Also no, mom, I don't want to watch Scary Movie 4 no matter what my brothers say. Just by watching two of those movies I've had enough bad pot and penis jokes for a lifetime.

ETA: Check this fancomic about movie!Howl/Sophie. Saw it already? Not dead from sugar? Fine, now see the CRACKTACULAR book version and die from laughter XDDDDDDD

AAAAAH now this is why I loved the book more than the movie...

XDDDD I loved Howl for being vague and his slither-out-ness. WHY DIDN'T THE MOVIE HAVE THAT TOO?

Because it's not Ghibli enough? D: Dunno, everything about movie!Howl is WTF when you compare it to good ol' Howell.

I'm a bit more resented by Sophie's characterization. We women can't continue being cranky towards our love interest after we realize our feelings! Or something!

Or I dunno, maybe I just like how realistic book!Howl/Sophie is, and how they're still the same after they hooked up and got married.

Disclaimer: I did like the movie. I still do if I forget it's HMC, because the book OWNED me. I'm glad I read it after watching the anime.

Cynthia, when you have some free time can you please give me a summary or translation of Howl's dialogues on crack!book version? *puppy eyes* I only catch a couple of words, and while the premise is loud and clear, I think it could be funny if I understood it all.

That cracktacular version is AMAZING.

Exacto! La peli la vi dos veces, el libro va por la tercera releída. Creo que es obvio cuál favorezco :D

The first one was fluffy, the second one was pure crack and I loved it more. Book!Sophie > Movie!Sophie.

Book!Sophie > Movie!Sophie

You preach it, sister! Book!Sophie would so eat movie!Sophie for breakfast. (Well, not literally in a cannibalistic sense, but you get my point...)

I think this also applies to Book!Howl vs. Movie!Howl (because Welsh, rugby-playing wizards with L'Oreal beat molting wizards any day) and Book!WasteWitch vs. Movie!WasteWitch (I'm not even explaining this one).

THOSE are fights I would like to see.

It's even funnier if you consider sexy underwear as we know it (like, Victoria's Secret style) most likely don't exist in Ingary, and part of Sophie's anger comes from the fact he buys such an outrageous thing for her in Wales. Good times, good times.

So much ♥ for those comics! I love Book!Sophie's expressions, hee.
