Take That!

You can listen to the nonexistent bells that Saffy obviously set up here. Sheesh, she's such a problematic child (though quite a marvelous toy ;D)

Phoenix Wright is pretty dang fun, it's been like 6 months since I started Trials and Tribulations, so I kinda eventually forgot. XD Picked it up again a couple days ago and explosively got my way through the rest of the trials over two days. I liked T&T alot, which is good, because Justice for All was kinda lacking for a Phoenix Wright game. Also, the final case of T&T is probably my favorite case of the GBA games, pretty neat stuff in there. It wasn't quite as good as the fifth case of the first game, but that one was too awesome to surpass. But who knows? I've got Apollo Justice plugged into my DS already, maybe something in this game will push the limits of legal awesome. Also, apparently the fifth Ace Attorney game is supposed to be out by the end of the year, and starring everyone's favorite Edgey. Can't wait to see how that one ends up too. :3

Anywho, I finished up Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There on Tuesday, and I do say that I liked the stories. They were simple, childish, and quite dream-like in quality. Although, I'll admit my own dreams are a good deal less coherant, but that's because my brain likes to play tricks on me, like sentences will be completely different every time I read them. Alice is lucky in that regard, she was able to remember the poem about the Jabberwocky. But yes, a great deal of silliness and tomfoolery abounds in both Wonderland and the Looking-Glass world. I'd love to visit myself, where things are both so literal and obscure that it's certainly a wonder anything gets thought at all! There is one part of the books that bothers me though. Alice's forehead. In the illustrations, they really should have given her bangs. >_>

I've actually been watching/reading an anime/manga recently that draws heavily on the characteristics of Carroll's books, that being Pandora Hearts. Interestingly enough, while their Alice seems to be similarly innocent as Alice herself, the character Oz Vessalius acts very much more like Alice. After all, neither really get too alarmed in their current situations, ending up just accepting the extraordinary as reality. Of course, if anyone in the anime's to use the term 'Curiouser and curiouser', I'd imagine it'd be Break, but that's because he's the show's Mad Hatter, and also Hisoka without the pedo part, haha.

One last note, the best line of the books was at the very end of Chapter IX of Through the Looking-Glass. Alice says "'I'll shake you into a kitten, that I will!'" And she does. That right there is just awesome.

I got a haircut! Wow! Not really a cut, more a trim to take out the 30,000 dead and split ends and whatnot, but wow! Normally, one wouldn't make a note of this, but I get a haircut like every 2 years, so... XD

Episode 4 of Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni Rei is out, huzzah! Unfortunately it's not been subbed yet, and Episode 5 is still 2 months off... but Ep4 is out huzzah! :D

Also, a preview for the Umineko no Naku Koro Ni anime next month has come out :3



It's still being done by Studio Deen, but they've improved quite a bit since they first started Higurashi back in 2006. I dunno about any of you, but I'm looking forward to this tons and tons more than even the rest of Season 2 of Suzumiya Haruhi. =DDD For those of you unfamiliar with Umineko, here's a little taste, heehee.
