1) I have been spending my days playing a lot of Rock Band and reading some ST:Reboot fic.
I was playing yesterday when Conventional Lover by Speck came on. It's important to note that I read the band name as 'Spock' at the time.
So I'm playing the song and it's gets about a third of the way through before I really start listening to the lyrics. I started laughing and laughing and messing up my score beyond belief because that is one tricky chorus, but I did not care because I was laughing too much.
A little taste.
"I wanna be your captain, my Pon Farr is a-risin'
So step on over here girl, my love is enterprisin'."
And since I had read the band name as Spock at first, I spent the entire song imagining it was Spock singing it instead of a Trekkie fanboy. I think my interpretation is better. XD
2) On the subject of Star Trek, there's something I feel the need to make very clear.
I am not a Trekkie.
I come from a solidly Star Wars based household. My early scifi experiences were all built around good, Force-based values, none of this wamsy-pamsy Prime Directive mumbo jumbo. It has always been an established fact in my understanding of the extended universe that Kirk was a tool and Solo was made of awesome. That was just the way things were.
The movie...may have changed things. I think I'm having an existential crises. People, I have been to Memory Alpha. *holds head in hands*
I am not a Trekkie, I am not a Trekkie, iamnotatrekkie.
3) The new Holic chapter is out! Am still waiting for translations since written Japanese and I do not go well together. Then again, spoken Japanese and I don't get along all that well either, but at least we're on speaking terms with each other. (haha, see what I did there, i am so lame. /o\)

Also, they were in France this last month, probably didn't have much time to work on anything at all. And whatever the ending for one is gonna be, it's almost certain that it'll spoil at least a bit of the other one.

Like, if you didn't know what was going on in Tsubasa? You would be so confused as to why Yuuko is currently being eaten up by black goo. Not that, you know, I'm entirely sure why she's being eaten by the Blob in any case, but not paying attention to Tsubasa would bring the level of WTF up above the stratosphere.

It's funny, because it's this close to the end and I haven't got the foggiest where the serie are going. I can speculate to my heart's content, and I will probably not get even close to what is about to happen... Darn CLAMP and their devilish story-telling skills. >_<
Yeah... seriously, what is with the black goo? and while we're at it... what is with the freaking egg?! I haven't been this frustrated since Wish and the "that human is..." thing, and that was considerably shorter and was already finished by the time I started reading, so the suffering didn't last this long! >_<
...darn clamp. Why must they torture us so...?
