vacations are too short

[xparrot]

Spent the last week in Seattle (Bellevue, actually) with the imouto gnine visiting the bro. Had a great time, though the week went by much, much too quickly.

Popped up across the border to meet chirachira and moonsheen, who are marvelous cute, and we even scored Chira-sketches to sell on Ebay for millions in a few years! (and learned that I am not alone in my complete lack of directional sense...) And met nekokoban the next day in Seattle, where we saw fish thrown and got much yummy free samples and manga (also yummy, but sadly not free). Big thanks to y'all for putting up with us, was wonderful to meet you! :DDDD

We also stayed up late with the bro, mostly vegging. I played enough Katamari Damacy to get the damn theme song thoroughly stuck in my head, and then he had to show me all his favorite eps of Futurama, and we also watched all of Firefly. Which is sadly only the 14 eps, but the movie is coming and the show might be renewed - it certainly deserves to be, and I desperately hope it is. I need more Mal. I mean, all the chars are great, but. Yeah. Mal.
Only problem I had with it really was that I loved the chars but didn't really ping off any of the pairings - 'cept Zoe/Wash, because come on - I love married couples and they're rarer than rare (plus I love platonic male-female friendships like Mal & Zoe's, which are even rarer) - but otherwise, it was the team-shipmates bond that got me. And I haven't gone looking yet but I s'pect finding non-pairing fic will be well-nigh impossible. (If there isn't any smarm, I wonder if Mal/Tam-sibs exists...either Simon or River...)

KATAMARI!!! One can never have enough of that wonderful, wonderful creation. I can't wait for the second one with the Usopp Nose present. XD

Good to see you back! We missed you at the drabble community! (Actually they've been missing me too... I was preoccupied with being at musical rehearsal for six hours every evening... >_>)

waah but Katamari is eeeevil! not only does the music get stuck in your head and drive you INSANE (that "I want to roll you up into my life" song? I'm sure it'll be listed in the next edition of the DSM as a leading cause of insomnia and schizophrenia) but if you play it for too long you start to see the world in terrible ways: "Hmm, my car's at least 3 m, that's gotta be big enough to roll up that fence over there..."

I was missed? whee! <3 haveta get back to the fic'ing, I miss drabbling! hope whatever you're rehearsing for goes/went well!
