1. Setsu, feliz cumpleañossssss!! :3 A todo esto, envié el paquete anteayer. Me avisas cuando te llegue.

2. LOLSchrodinger's. Why do I always point to nerdy macros?

3. And to balance the cats, now some dogs. Malamutes are cute, but truly huge.

4. I finished (finally) The Count of Montecristo. The differences with Gankutsuoh are abismal, but I like both versions -the anime feels now like an OOC AU fanfic in space and vampires and with crack pairings, but dammit, I enjoyed it maybe because I read the book later. Funny enough, I found both endings too cheesy and "WTF this became canon?!", but apart from that it was good. Now I'll read Maskerade because I miss my PTerry.

5. Why the hell did I join [livejournal.com profile] clamp_lims?! I really have no idea what to do with that pic. My first LIMS and the first submission is an image theme. No on ;____; *hates image themes*

6. Comment here and I will reply to you and tell you what icon of yours I associate with you. Once I reply, please repost this in your own journal, because I want to know what icon you associate with me.

I love that Al icon. I change my icons all the time because I don't have a paid account but I can't seem to part with that one. :)

Really? Because I've only seen, like, three persons dissing it at most.

It started out good but like a lot of Gonzo series it quickly went down the gutter (way to black and white for my tastes). I am only still watching it because I watched this far.

I agree with you that most of the major changes were character related in Gankutsuou. A lot of minor characters had much larger roles like Albert, Frnaz and Eugenie. Not to mention Eugenie was a lesbian in the original book but they conveniently left that out of the anime. I actually like the focus on the other characters in the anime, although I think the Count was a much more compelling character in the novel.

But I like lesbian!crossdresser!Eugenie better xP Funny enough, I prefer LOLalien!Haydee from the anime; in the book she was like over there to be a pweety pwerfect love interest and it turned me off so badly. And anime!Franz was awesome, when in the novel he started all interesting spying on the Count and shit, but then he disappeared only to be Valentine's temporary fiancé. Albert, I guess I like the same in both versions. Some improved anime versions of characters I like better, and some not so much.

But definitely, book!Edmond/Count can't be compared to anime!Count. And it's not only because he was the focus. His character was just more complex in the original version, unsurprisingly.
