Reading, writing, and items of interest


Item: The upside of the whole political debacle was that The National, in their "man on the street"-type interviews, brought to my attention an artist who does paintings of hockey brawls. Only. In. Canada. I am totally updating my holiday wishlist to include one of those.

Item: Writing fic on my iPhone in a moving vehicle is difficult but less difficult than I imagined. And it's starting to auto-correct "Kaisoh" to "Kaidoh" now. ♥

Item: [livejournal.com profile] santa_smex, the Prince of Tennis holiday fic exchange, has been posting for a few days now. I'm not reading pairings that don't interest me, but I'm reading a bit more widely than I might usually. Stories I've enjoyed:

+ The day Ryoma came back and what happened next - Horio/Sakuno with Tomoka, Dan, Katsuo, Kachiro, and Ryoma.
The kids are all grown up at 20. I enjoyed seeing how they were all a bit different and all a bit the same. And, OMG, HORIO. ♥

+ Rules of Attraction - Atobe/Mizuki, Mizuki/Atsushi
I giggled throughout! Mizuki is just a ball of charming, scheming, frustrated fun. Fantastic dialogue!

+ What a Wonderful World - Ryoma/Kevin
Christmas in New York. Kevin was damn cute and Ryoma was nicely surly.

And there's been some Yagyuu/Niou and Atobe/Ryoma. If you're into that sort of thing. :D

Item: I realised the other day while we were re-watching the first Rikkai matches that the only reason I don't read Yagyuu/Niou is Niou's terrible, terrible hair. That's so shallow that I'm deeply ashamed. But I Just. Can't. Deal with the rat tail. Not at all. I mean, if Kaidoh grew a rat tail like that, I'd drop him too. (He'd be darling with a mullet, though.) So sad. :(

Item: What would you buy Kaidoh for Christmas?

He'd be darling with a mullet, though. Hmmm. I'm not sure I agree. Then again, I honestly can't think of a thing Kaidoh could do to make me find him NOT adorable!

I would buy him a kitten. :>

It depends on the type of mullet for me, really. If it's like, a rocker David Bowie mullet, totally. But if it's the Joe Dirt sort, no thank you. My dad had one of those for long enough that I'd just prefer never look at one again. . . .

Or calico! Or maybe all black. :3

an artist who does paintings of hockey brawls

...I...might need to see those. In case my husband needs one for Christmas.

it's hard not to answer: kitten or puppy. seriously :D I'm not gonna try to be origial.
I'd get him a German Shepherd puppy
and wish for the best

obviously.
and Kaidoh would be so happy
(and Momo would watch from the distance)

[identity profile] cinoberis.livejournal.com 2008-12-06 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
hehe, they would make such wounderful parents, why won't you let them!

yup. momo will be feeding the dog icecream and it would give Kaidoh an internal hemorrhage

:D he does. bless him

[identity profile] argentum-luna.livejournal.com 2008-12-06 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd buy him porn tapes. Labeled "Training Excercises 1-300".

He would hate me forever.

unless the actors somehow look like him and inui

That would be a most excellant holiday gift.

and Horio?? I will never understand the love of the unibrow

I rather like Niou's hair.

So many things to read in 3 different fandoms. but I am banned from reading until I accomplish other things

which will not be accomplished right now as I was up too late, slept too little, and am now going to go nap and watch VK

*stalker/lurker, don't mind me*

I would buy him an iPod. I want one, and what goes around comes around.

But I Just. Can't. Deal with the rat tail

Sorry, that's too funny. I've had to draw a picture based on that.

*vanishes*

I will have to upload it properly when I can use the scanner at the library. Until then, here's (http://i383.photobucket.com/albums/oo280/fullmoonjane/PoT%20art/096.jpg) a rather hazy picture I took. I'm not a great artist at the best of times, lol. The note on the table says "Dear Niou, it's over. I just can't deal with the RAT TAIL. Yagyuu xx"

Kaidoh is wonderful and deserves an iPhone ♥

It's almost Christmas here, and if I could, I would buy him some time with Inui-senpai. ^_^
