I am so so so so so done with studying. I was trying to kill some brain cells tonight, so here's something fun:

Waffles!!!

Soul Eater conspiracy theories!!! Yeah, but the Eibon thing has been pretty much Joss'd since it was revealed that Eibon is an excruciatingly hot guy.

Heroes has more canon fodder, of course, but the Soul Eater conspiracy theories are far more entertaining, I think, because the series itself is so divorced from logic and reality in the first place. I'm convinced that Ohkubo is actually going out of his way to deliberately avoid ever having to answer certain questions, like who Kid's mother is, what Crona's biological sex is, WTF HOW DID GIRIKO HAVE KIDS, and whether Harvar actually is French. I mean he's kind of gotta be with that whole Eurotrash Fashion Victim thing going on, right?

Also, it should be noted that the Soul Eater manga actually places Shibusen and Death City in a very specific place: Nevada.

No, really.

I'm pretty sure that the anime hasn't mentioned this yet. And of course it's a deliciously silly tidbit of information that you probably shouldn't think to hard about - i.e., if Kid was born and raised in Nevada, then why the hell would he be complaining about having to sit through omiai? - but it still amuses me to no end.

I mean, this is a series in which an 800-year-old chainsaw describes himself as "an old-fashioned, traditional evil weapon." Yes I totally just typed that sentence and yes that is totally canon, yes, that's how awesome Soul Eater is. Just try not to think about the fact that chainsaws weren't around 800 years ago. It's better to ignore the Earth Logic, it just takes away from Soul Eater's surreal charm.

Yay, Tokyo Revelations today!

( Behind the cut. No real spoilers. )

And now, awesome news for the day: Capcom is finally making a proper Fate/Stay Night 3D fighting game. I say "proper" 3D fighter because I can't quite bring myself to count Fate/Tiger Colosseum as a "proper" fighting game. It's fun to have chibi characters whaling on each other, but I'd rather have the real thing, you know? Now I that I can finally have a properly-rendered Hercules and Gilgamesh whaling on each other, my life is complete.

No, wait. Not quite complete. Somebody still needs to make a Mahabharata fighter.

A group of friends + the last batch of Pino's now-discontinued Green Tea Dark Chocolate flavor ice cream + Heroes marathon, beginning to end.

Best weekend ever?

Only now I have a headache. From the ice cream and the TV marathon, combined.

But seriously, Heroes? Is awesome. Other than the fact that it had Issues With Women, of course, but that's already been thoroughly covered in those six-month-old blog posts that I'm now finally looking at.

Also worth mentioning: I am either psychic, or I have spent too much time writing my own gimmicky sci-fi fiction. Because I predicted pretty much everything that happened in the show several episodes before it did. What happened to Nathan and Peter in the end? I knew that was going to happen the moment that Ted Sprague showed up (yes, including the bit about Nathan). Micah and the voting machines? Called that one several episodes ahead. Oh, and this: A couple episodes before Linderman showed up for the first time, I actually said, "I bet he'll turn out to be some really grandpa-y British dude." And Nathan (my friend Nathan, not the character Nathan) said, "Played either by Jeremy Irons or Malcolm McDowell."

Clearly we are all psychic. Or maybe it's something in the Pino ice cream. BTW, I'm still pissed that they discontinued that flavor.
