Zsámbék and Basilisk

Today we went to Zsámbék. It has an old church ruin that we wanted to see and walk a bit in the nice weather. So we visited the ruins, the turkish fountain (which was a load of rubbish, full of graffity and trash, another old church and an Immaculata statue.

Actually, it was fun, save for the horrid nausea I had the whole trip thanks to my carsickness. But I really liked it. I also got to use my tourist-guide thingy, so yay.

What else... Oh yes. I came back and actually started liking Basilisk a bit. Now that they are less and less, plotting comes in, and... yup, I love plotting. It makes the show interesting.

I also found myself a fave charcter. The tactician. (That guy. Bite me.) Or if there were one, he would be it. He is the one who has the ability to take on the looks of other people. His disguise also includes the voice, so he's quite smooth.

His fave thing is to infiltrate the enemy, get close to someone and rile them up against the enemy. Like... he told his "comrade" who killed her love, so she ran blindly to confront said person in battle. (Ok saying the killer's art does not work on women helped.) Thing is the guy uses his brain! And he misleads and uses deceit as his biggest weapon. How sweet is that?

Oh, and he's pretty cute too.
(And just to rile people up, I'll try to include a pic with all the ninja in it.)

Basilisk: scuse me, I crowed too early

Correction.

The badass bad guy is still alive. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh! What does it take to murder this utter bastard? He's crap. As in ruining what I could still enjoy about this crap. Grrrrrr.

Basilisk yet again

Ok. Instead of bitching about friends being pains in the backside when doing stuff that inconveniences me on more levels I could count... and instead of bitching about guild politics that pisses me off completely...

...I shall talk more about Basilisk.

I still think it's crappy. It had one, decent sub-sub-plot with a tragic death (What else is there but death?), but it was almost instantly gone.

(FYI: Guy1 was in love with girl.
Guy1 attacked guy2, because that enemy clans thing.Guy1 got pathetically killed.
Guy2 assumed guy1's looks and infiltrated village. And met girl.
Girl was already worried sick so she was overjoyed. She got lovey-dovey, while guy2 realized whom he had killed. (PG-12 rated) Girl found out guy1 got killed, swore she would kill guy2.
Then after a few days guy2 met girl while disguised as teammate. Girl said she'll recognize guy2 anytime anywhere... and did. Battle ensued, guy2 killed girl. Girl fell down from cliff.
Turns out, guy2 kinda liked girl. And guy2 watched as the girl's butterflies fluttered up into the rainy night sky. *sniff* Well, at least it was original.)

And then all that was lost when they put a frikkin rape scene in! Godsdamnit, but it wasn't rated hentai! Anyway, at least the big bad guy got killed. Finally. He was getting on my nerves. He had fugly hair, rotten personality and ego the size of Godzilla. Or more like Tokyo. Same deal. He was the unoriginal bad guy. Evil, rotten to the core and... ok, I admit, kinda hot. *sigh*

Still gonna get deleted.

Basilisk in a nutshell

After watching 6 eps of Basilisk (1/4 of the whole anime) I've come to a conclusion: it pretty much reminds me of Ninja Scroll.

The art is pretty nice, but needs a bit of getting used to. Just like Kazuya Minekura's, the faces look a bit similar. But still it's nice art. (Trust me, I've seen much much much worse.) On the bright side, it has lotsa hot guys. Yay for the hormones!

So... what the series lacks is an original plot. Not kidding.
So far the plot consists of: badass, crafty ninjas murdering each other in big showdowns because they are sworn enemies, meaning they come from different hidden villages/clans.
But... let's face it, since Naruto it's pretty much old news. And Naruto is much cuter and much much more interesting. And less recycled.

They also introduced a love story sub-plot between the two heads of the opposing ninja clans. (Male and female respectively, don't start to freak out now.)
But since Romeo and Juliet it's also pretty old news. Not to mention the original was better in every aspect.
Oh yes, it also pretty much means that the guy (the sucker) getting unintentionally lied to by the girl, thanks to her eeeeevil subordinates who want to murder the guy who went over to be their guest (how stupid can you get, godsdamnit?!). The girl by the way is beyond stupid, clueless and even platinum blonde. She's practically braindead. She starts to simper one more time and I lose it. >.<

So... as first impressions go, this one will get deleted as soon as I finish it or get so annoyed that i stop in the middle. It makes me miss Sci-Fi harry's horrid, jumbled plot about an evil organization that turns out to be consisting of all humanity agains all psychics. It was that bad. Trust me.

But on the bright side... it (Basilisk) has nice music.
*sigh*

I've started watching Basilisk.

Weird dreams

Ok, this one really weirded me out, and no, I did not go to bed with a full stomach. Quite contrary...

Anyway I went to a class reunion. Half the people I recognized, although they were a mix of primary and secondary school people I knew. Not all were from my class to boot.

Anyway... I've met an old... flame of mine there, who... during the dream's course ended up in interesting places.

No matter where I went I came across him hanging on to dear life from some depth or another, like... from a cliff, third storey... it was pretty weird. More so because he was pretty much indifferent to it all, not at all scared. Weird.

And I always ended up giving him my hand which he calmly accepted and pulled him up. (I did it at least 3 times... uh-oh.)

Also, I've met some other guy who I'm pretty sure wasn't my classmate... or maybe he was just at least 3 different persons' characteristics rolled into one, so I wasn't able to decide who he was.

Anyway, they both came to the flat and wanted to hog me (totally not sure if there was some romantic inclination in it, but if there was, I so need to get laid, because ick...) so I got pissed and scared and just majorly icked and left the flat waiting for my mom to chase them away. (Ha ha, very funny indeed.)

What worries me is the 3-times thing. I'm pretty sure it was 3 times. *gulp*

Yuck Yuck Yuck Yuck Yuck!

OK, I admit it. I watched a hentai movie. (But never ever ever again. Not even the one certain people call the "penis-gun"... the one I promised I'll watch.... bceause it's said to be a parody of hentai stuff. Yeah. I'm talking about you. Don't you dare show your face for decades or I kick you in the jewels for this. Repeatedly. For hours!!)

But... a friend linked me to it. (Yup, that one. The one I'll kick in the soft parts.) He said I should watch it because it's more hilarious and sick than perverse. (Hah! I should have murdered him right there and then!)

Actually, it's both. Or... all of the above, really. I'm still feeling a load of nausea.

I cannot stress enough my disgust over misused billiard balls, poor, harmless vegetables, cardboard boxes, a washing machine, a hoover, a bell for any god's sake who dares to listen and watch this nightmare... and some more veggies. Yeah... too many veggies.

I doubt I'll ever recover my sanity and be able to play billiards or eat vegetables again.

So far I'm completely put out and wonder what sick mind has come up with such a twisted, sick, sick, DEPRAVED idea.

Gods, this was utterly disgusting. I wish they sold soap for the mind.

This is utter revulsion.

200 and going

Yay! Message 200. *throws confetti*
