Dear CDW:
It is not technology that is difficult to deal with, at least in the world as presented by your TV commercials. Having -worked- in that world, I can tell you this: the technology was the -good- part, the -sane- and _easy_ part. It was dealing with the nitwits _USING_ the technology that was the not-fun part.

Yours,
Shan

My father is either afraid of anime, or truly doesn't comprehend it. At any rate, it's annoying as all hell to try to watch -anything- anime while he's around, let alone something with a plot like that found in Mononoke Hime or Rurouni Kenshin. Sigh.

At least I wasn't trying to watch the third episode of Earthian around him... *Small grin* I _finally_ picked it up! It's...well, it's good, yes. It's also a little choppy, in places -- I felt like I had maybe missed an episode or two, or perhaps several key scenes remain in Japan. There wasn't as much smut/UST/lust/whatever as I was maybe hoping for, but what there was was interesting, and kind of sweet.

I also picked up Sayonara Blues, the third DVD in the NieA Under7 series. I really like NieA. It's hysterically funny in places, dumb in others, poignant and disturbing and mysterious and fascinating. I can't wait to get the last disc, though I worry that the ending will be...too tidy, or not tidy enough, or something.

I want the Cowboy Bebop box set something -awful-.

...Do people hire those that beg shamelessly?

Also?

My father is hell to watch movies with, particularly when you've seen the movie and he hasn't. He can't just -watch-, he has to ask questions. Just shut -up- and watch the movie to find out who's the bad guy, dammit!
