Huge headache. Huge, frelling headache.

Uh. Am about a little more than halfway through Naamah's Kiss. I just started chapter fifty-two. I may be a bit in love with Jehanne, and damn her to hell for it.

Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon arrived today. So far, it's incredibly fun - the whole mystery aspect is a lot less tedious than it was in P4 (sidenote, why do I always end up bashing P4? I love P4), and I'm really enjoying the general atmosphere of the Taisho era. The game was supposed to come with a Raiho plushie, but they apparently ran out. I sulked like a second grader - [info]astrangerenters and [info]zero_damage can attest to that!

Almost done the first season of Battlestar Galactica. (Apparently, this is going to be a fandom review-centric entry.) I spent most of it gushing over Laura Roslin's general awesomeness and was promptly brought back down when she started to be all, "blah blah I'M THE PROPHECISED RULER blah blah KARA GO TO CAPRICA AND GET THIS ARTIFACT blah." Maybe my atheism is clouding my ability to focus on the show's version of spirituality or whatever - hopefully that won't bother me too much, because I really do like it. The actors are all very good at getting the viewer to feel what they feel. Gaius Baltar cracks me up, as does Gaeta's fanboyish tendencies towards him. Ah, Gaeta. I love you for your voice alone.

Man, my head hurts. This might be a good time to take some advil.

Finally finished all of Death Note!

My thoughts, expect spoilers. )

Aside from that, have starting playing Kingdom Hearts again. Got through Agrabah, finally. Jafar was amusingly easily. Went on to Monstro, left too soon, didn't finish the entire thing. Now at the near end of Atlantica. I'll admit, I figured Atlantica would just be incredibly frustrating musical mini-games with Ariel and her twenty-eight and a half sisters. I didn't expect Ursula to try and eat Sora. I got close to beating her in a second try of fighting her head, but I guess I stopped paying attention to Sora's life gauge, because she said something like, "I'll show you blah," and then Sora was basically the Kingdom Hearts equivalent of fried fish. I was flabbergasted, and that's when I decided to quit for the day.

Now I'm sleepy. Again.

♥ to anyone who read through my blather.

Went to see X-Men Origins: Wolverine tonight. It wasn't bad - it was certainly better than X-Men: The Last Stand, which was shit, but it definitely got a great deal of the canon completely wrong. Thankfully, I'm not invested enough in the canon to get too upset about it. The big reveal of [spoiler] at the end of the movie was a bit creepy, as the de-aged actor kind of resembled a baby pterodactyl. Those who've seen it should know who I'm talking about, and those who haven't... will be saved from a spoiler? Not that it adds anything to the actual plot anyway.

Also, there is a scene at the end of the credits which is just... weird. I managed to be spoiled to Logan's location even before the credits ended (there would only be one reason to have a song titled Something Shinjuku, when most of the movie takes place in North America) and well, I guess they are paying a bit of attention to the canon, as Logan does spend some time in Japan.

Hold on a sec.

Spoiler. )

Okay, I'm good now.

Due to my reluctance to walk into my mother and her new boyfriend having intimate relations on the living room couch, I forced [info]devlinnreiko and Ally into a nearly hour-long detour at Timmy's, which culminated in me nearly spitting all my hot chocolate over the table due to a laughing fit.

Also, I finally got to watch more Code Geass due to breaking down and finding some subs to stream... only to have the subbing promptly stop at episode twenty-four. I'm already predisposed to the dubs, not just because of the convenience but because of all the fun Persona crossover (seriously, it borders on incestuous), even if the dubs crap out on the closing credits. I have to sit on my hands for the next three months, waiting for Adult Swim to air the last ten episodes of the dub (which I can't even watch on TV - lame!) while all subs are lost to me? Go bite yourself, watchanimeon.com! Advertising subbed anime without subs is just cruel.

I'll get over it. As far as Death Note, which I am five episodes in... Light Yagami is a tool. He's one step above douche because he's not a jerk in the traditionally mean sense, he's just... a giant tool. I want to smack his smug face.

How was your Saturday, f-list?
