This made me happy today

I'll keep doing the meme because I have a very good subject today!

( One big fat picture of Tomoya )

SERIOUSLY. When is this show going to end so Adi can tell me errr certain things?

Tomoya is the hero of Clannad, an anime that looks absurdly good for something based off of a game that has sex scenes. He's sort of deadpan, but he can be seen with a little pig, or a box on his head, or dancing etc. and he goes all mother hen for the heroine. WOW. Also, he makes faces like the above pppppfff X3

In which I wish I was actually an intellectual

The latest issue of New Yorker magazine, which my family subscribes to, has a nice thing about keitai shousetsu, and the women who write them. All you can get on the web for free is a very unfortunate "abstract" :/ To summarize, Japanese women are talking about their lives in a safe, anonymous, and easy way, and while the content is pretty dumb, the expression is great and the whole thing is very salutary! I approve.

I used to have a whole entry involving pride for my country, think of the children!!! and some other really embarrassing shit, but I'll cut it down to a couple things because I think I might be repeating myself (and uhhh sounding stupid). I still find it unforgivable that cruelty is mistaken so frequently for thoughtful, enlightening expression (and vice versa). Despite the fact that it is the utterance of many fellow women, the endless harsh criticism of Mary Sues, including attempts to stamp them out, is unproductive and damaging. I still disapprove.

Like, it's internet fighting u guyz. It's a whole lot of mean things said that will never right the injustices of the world. It's a futile attempt to make people with vaginas and fewer years stop saying things. All it's really produced is an excuse for the newly converted to hand the information down the line by attacking their peers (or worse, whoever's weaker), and more disclaimers that say, "this is not a Mary Sue" on Quizilla or FF.net stories about Sesshoumaru/Itachi/the Joker's girlfriend/slave/I DON'T WANT TO FIND ANY MORE EXAMPLES! No, seriously, they'll be ashamed enough someday without anybody's help at all! Aren't kids magical?!

To close this part of the entry, (ノ’ー‘)ノミ☆ミ☆ I throw stars at j00

I made oden for dinner! Winter daikon boiled in rice water and stewed in soy broth is still succulent! Hard-boiled eggs in the bottom of the oden pot are still glowing jewels! Here is the recipe I used. Tonight's had 4 eggs, 3 big slices of daikon, 3 potatoes, a block of grilled tofu, chikuwa, and hanpen. (No konnyaku products because we are wusses ha ha)
