1) It's very hot outside but the cat is large and warm and also he really wants to sit in people's laps. Perhaps he is senile. Has he not realized how it is hot outside and that people are also hot and that he is covered in fur?

2) I made the mistake of watching a Top Chef marathon and now I crave well-cooked meat with a side dish of fancymcfrenchcookingingredient. Meanwhile, my own culinary skills condemn me to a future of noodle bowl after microwavable noodle bowl.

3) I also started watching Avatar again, and I'm not really sure why, but for some reason every time I like Zuko (which really is most of the time) I get angry at myself for being a a fangirl cliché.

In this negative spirit, I give you!!

Name a fandom, and I'll give you the scoop on at least three of my unpopular opinions related to that fandom.

I was tagged for this by quipquipquip: Reply to this meme by yelling "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your LJ and explain what they mean to you.

➜ Locke I'm not sure I can explain this in any novel way, but Locke is some kind of crazy hair-color-shifting metamorphagus slash my very favorite sixteen bit necrophiliac. I dunno. For me, I've always been quite into the whole dashing rogue archetype. (and the "always been" statement here is kind of misleading. As I've sort of been obsessed with Locke since I was like, nine.) But the thing that lets him still be my favorite character is because he's also Woosley-translated pixelated deconstruction of the archetype. His story is about how heroic quests can destroy a person, the selfish side of selfishness. Plus, you know, he has a key part in an opera stopped by a giant, punning, octopus.

Oh, and my horrific experiment in manga coloring has ended!! There are surprisingly few shots of Nash's shoes in the manga, alas.

I found the my other cat, Smoke, sleeping on my bed yesterday. He's a skittish cat, so he's hard to get pictures of, but because he was still sleepy, I a few nicer shots of him. Okay, not great, but we've learned that cats and cameras are mutually incomprehensible.

The other thing I've been doing is slowly coloring in panels of the Suikoden III manga so I can have Nash icons. Observe! Though really, having embarked on this quest, I've mostly decided it isn't worth the time and effort. I'm too stubborn to stop, really, until I get all the icons I want, but I don't understand how some talented people out there make whole batches of colored icons on a regular basis.
