5 things that made my day hellish:

1. I caught my dog with chocolate and wigged out

2. I was ordered, ordered, to start packing. 

3. The tummy sickness is back and damned if I know how to get rid of it. 

4. I'm really really skanky, yet have no will to take a shower. 

5. Found out She's getting out in September and will probably be Around sometime next year.

and two things that made it bearable

1. Teresa called, and even though the power blips kept interrupting we had a nice convo. 

2. I got my hands on a really cute adorable fic that just absolutely sent me into the clouds with bliss bliss bliss

All together, the two good things balanced out the not good.

And watching scrubs is always good for mindlessly sinking into a world where only gleeful squeeling and wibbly lip-biting exist. 

...I watched a lot of Scrubs today.

Apparently my anime phase has *cough* 'phased out' so to speak. Can't say I'm surprised, actually. I really really really needed some new blood, y'know? And between HP and my obsessive compulsive hunt for yaoi or at least slashable anime this summer, I was reaching the end of several ropes without any safety nets to catch me.

Shank you Scrubs! Now I have a completely new thing to be obsessed about!

It helps that JD is such a girl, actually, and very prone to act like one. Less of a transition from prettiful animation to, er, real life (?)

I've been thinkin' 'bout doing some character pieces about him actually. I can really relate to his, um, call it overactive imagination. But I'm way way way too afraid to even attempt to attempt to do anything of the sort for Dr. Cox. He's probably one of the scariest characters to try to think about in a fanfiction-writer-y way. I'd feel like he was glaring at me from the screen *shudders* 

Plus it's not a good sign if I still can't really bear to refer to him as anything other than Dr. Cox in my head. ^^"

Okies, so I'm off to overhaul my profile. It's about due.

So, I was dicking around on the internet, and I decided to go watch some Cowboy Bebop subs. I was feeling nostalgic, what can I say?

So anyway, I was watching the subs, and was yet again reminded just how much I prefer the dub VA's to the Japanese seiyuus. CB is definitely in the rare category of anime where the English dub far and away outshines the Japanese version. 

I'm the first to admit to being a dub-snob--I don't generally like them and I would usually much rather watch a sub than have to sit through terrible voice acting, and I'm sorry, but not having to read subtitles is usually just NOT WORTH the damage to my ears and the headaches that frequently ensue--but I'm also the first to admit that some dubs are on par, or even better (gasp!) than the original. Cowboy Bebop is just one of the examples. I also like Samurai Champloo's dub, though it isn't even close to as good as the Japanese and I VASTLY prefer Full Metal Achemist's dub to the subs. I <3<3<3 Edward's VA and think he does a fantastic job, and Roy's is simply too sexy for words, and Al's VA is so close to the original, that it's not even funny. They gave the FMA characters depth that I just didn't get from the subs.

Then there are attrocious dubs, of which there are too many to count, ahem Yu Yu Hakusho, Prince of Tennis, Yami no Matsuei, Sailor Moon, Card Captor Sakura, Bleach ahem, just to name a few. 

Anyway, I found a thread the other day that was a few years old, and wanted to add my two cents, even if it's too late and not even in the right place. That's what really spawned this little monologue.

I've only one thing left to say. I both anticipate and dread the time when Death Note make it to Adult Swim (and it will--I have no doubt) to see how they butcher my beloved characters' lines. Because they will. Because it's Viz and Viz is the antichrist of Anime.
