Featuring a GUI so chewy...

Do NOT ask me where that subject heading came from, but to be honest, I totally made it up. And if someone used it somewhere, that's scary.

This week's Shelf Life puts Cosplay Complex on the Rental Shelf, "so you can share in my pain and misery". Hmmm. Animated by the same people who did Hand Maid May, and features "every fetish on the planet imaginable"... <,<;; *laughs* At least it's an OAV, and not a TV series. I can only assume it'd be cheap to buy. :P

I have a feeling I'll be picking up Clue and The Iron Giant on DVD sometime soon. I should check out HMV...

Hey, is Blue Gender worth a look? I've heard a lot about it (also probably because it had airtime in the States), and it looks cool...

Car-related stuff, ignore the first half if ya don't feel like it :P

I took my car into the shop again today, and this time I didn't have to run it around the block to have them check it out. I figure they'll do that tomorrow sometime.

In the meantime, I've got a loaner from them - a Chevy Impala. It's *soft*. And comfy. Of course, I feel right out-of-place driving it around - it's taller and wider than my car, and I don't have any of my own tunes in the car, so it's all radio, I'm afraid...

I'll get a call tomorrow (morning, hopefully) letting me know what the problem is. I don't think it's the brakes because the whistling/chirping/tweeting sound isn't constant, and it only seems to be making noise when I hit bumps, or when I'm on an incline, so maybe it's a struts problem. But the fact that it's variable depending on my speed has me believe it has to do with the wheels...

Ah well, 'tis all good. I'll drive this loaner into work tomorrow and get my blue baby back tomorrow night. :)

Meme ganked from seangaffney:
1. Use fanfiction.net's Search >> Story By Summary and look up your name in either Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings.

2. If there are any Mary Sues that share your name, pick the worst-sounding one(s) and post the summary.

Here's my fave from the HP department:

Blitz Verboten by WingedSeraphin
Jason, Keiko, Raiden, and Ari. Four different people with one common interest: Illegal broom racing. On the weekends, Hogwarts' students take a walk on the wild side.

The Wild Side of Hogwarts, huh? XD

And one from the Lord of the Rings side:

Halloween Comes To Middle Earth by Night Monkey
Freddy and Jason bring their bad habits to Middle Earth, just in time for Halloween! Now done.

Well. XD

If anyone wants lyrics translated from their slang, check out Slang City. I went there looking for lyrics to Lou Reed's Walk on the Wild Side. (Tho most of it is not too difficult to discern...)
