First Love: Sherlock Holmes
Christopher and I were out wandering and I mentioned to him that I'd always wanted to read "Sherlock Holmes" but would need them all to do so (because this is what I do)... Then BAM! 3 weeks later, it's Christmas time and what do I recieve from him? The Complete Sherlock Holmes Treasury... In all honesty, this is possibly the sweetest most thoughtful gift anyone has ever gotten me. I'm a big believer in listening to people for clues as to what they like/dislike/want but usually other people don't do that. Siiiiiiiiigh! People usually go for some gift card to Future Shop or something to that effect, which is nice and still thoughtful... but this, this says something very sweet...
ANYWAYS! So he gave it to me and, after swooning over the sweetness that is Christopher, I started reading it right away that very night... The stories are truly wonderful and Sherlock is one of my latest fictional crushes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherlock_holmes read up on him and his adventures then get yourself a copy today :D
Next love: Sailor Moon Abridged!
Sailor Moon Abridged (http://www.sailormoonabridged.com/) is a fandub series where a group of friends have gotten together and redubbed Sailor Moon episodes and cut them down to be around 7-10 mins long with wonderful hilarity throughout! The group plays with the sillyness of the North American dub of the series and the plotholes throughout. The characters often comment on how stupid situations are and the personalities are played up top notch! It's wonderful! WONDERFUL! WONDERFUL!!!
Next Love: Richard Wagner's Der Ring Des Nibelungen
Opera is a fairly new love affair of mine. My interests dabbled in it slightly in High School, but it wasn't until I went to La Boheme that I took a more keen interest in it. I'd been meaning to have a look into Wagner and his epic 4-part opera Der Ring Des Nibelungen for quite some time... then I met Christopher, who is a huge lover of Wagner, so it was the perfect opportunity. Christopher was kind enough to lend me his copy of The Copenhagen Ring Cycle on DVD so I sat down to watch it... And let me tell you... it's AMAAAAAAZING! The story is astounding and I'm going to go as far to say it's the greatest story ever told!
Read about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_Ring_des_Nibelungen Seriously! On the surface you may read the words of what the story is... but if you REALLY look into it and THINK about everything that is happening you'll find complexities that could be studied for years and years. Each character and event can have hundreds of papers written on them. It's really...
No, just look into it, please! It's wonderful! I'll probably post lots on the subject in the near future, so be prepared. I keep developing more and more theories about it and... Yeah, you'll see...
Next Love: Comics - Randoms - Drawn by me way back...
I was boredly going through old notes and stuff of mine online and came across this: http://talesofaninjun.comicgenesis.com/Randoms/ it's random poorly drawn comics and stories I did years ago... They make little to no sense and are truly RANDOM... I love reading stuff that I wrote long ago because I forget all about it and wonder "WHAT WAS I THINKING?" I remember the Rodney drawings are things I drew in a friend's workbook in Film Class in Grade 12... The Super Deformed Cherry Blossom Rod Hour is a 4 part comic I drew based on those... Sick Tony I drew... not sure why, Anthony was sick? And Sensual Dreamin' was making fun of a few things in Writing 12 class, mainly jargon and psuedo-theories in other's works. I don't know, I thought they were funny to re-read...
