So that was 8 am...

I have not seen it in such a long time...the other 2 instances in the last 2 years involved crawling out of bed, grooming mysef, then snuggling down with a pillow in the backseat of the parent's car.

In other news, I will theoretically have a closed window before going to work today.

I also begin to wonder where my trashman is...he usually comes on Thursday but didn't come yesterday. And I don't remember him waking me up with his truck on Monday, either.  I must admit, I'm very glad the extremely overflowing bins are in front of the next building over.

And the body shop has called saying the car is ready and back I go(they thought they wouldn't get to it for a couple hours, hence my walking back home instead of staying, but who cares.)

*This also negates the "crawl back in bed for an hour or so" possibility flitting through my head.*

"The fact is, sir, this planet's dying and it might be our fault."

"But you can fix it, right?"

O'Neill's faith that Carter's brain is the most powerful force in the universe wil never stop being great.

juuni kokuki pics?

Anyone know a decent gallery with 12 Kingdoms/Juuni Kokuki pics?  Anime caps I have plenty of, but not illustrations from the books and such.

not!Methos!

How did I only just realize that Tanith(aka, one of I think only 2 male aliens NOT in love with Carter...) is Peter Winfield, AKA, Methos of Highlander?

The Green Man: Tales From the Mythic Forest

The Green Man was the first book  in Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling's mythic anthology series(which, naturally, means it the one I read last.)  The Green Man is the traditional lord of the forest in myth, though he wasn't given that name until recently(I always forget and the book says when but I'm too lazy to look) and Jack in Ridley Scott's Legend and the central concept and function of myth in Robin of Sherwood are both based around the tradition, to give the most accurate examples that immediately pop to mind.

Like Coyote Road and The Faery Reel, most of the stories here apply old ideas to modern times, often specifically geared to urban or rural, instead of general modern, mostly from the perspective of a "normal" person walking into otherworldly matters.  In a way, I wish I'd read this one first instead of last.  There isn't as much of a concentrated vision here as there isin the other two anthologies in the series, and there are several stories where I'm not quite sure why they were there as they didn't seem to fit, unlike the others in the series where they were almost seemless in the story selection, even if there were a few stories I wasn't as fond of.  Still, it remains a number of steps up from most fantasy anthologies I've read.

Anyone wanna rec Ergo Proxy?

Or warn me away, whichever is more accurate.

Plot Summary: In a future where the world has been ravaged by a nuclear apocalyse, there exists salvation in a domed city named "Romdeau", where humans and their android servants, the autoreivs, live in. Under the implementation of complete management control, it is a paradise where feelings are literally discarded, and the governing council dictates the way of life the citizens should live. But this utopian landscape is soon broken by a series of mystifying murders. Real Mayar, a female inspector from the Citizen Information Bureau, along with her autoreiv partner Iggy, are tasked to solve the murder cases. She is soon attacked by a creature drawn to her which is neither human nor android, and learns about the mysterious phenomena called "Awakening", an event which draws her further into the case...and to the world beyond the limits of Romdeau.

ETA:  It has been compared to Witch Hunter Robin.  About all I need.
