The journey to becoming a cyborg
Warning: this post involves my vagina and uterus and a bit of blood. If vaginas squick you, or uteri make you blush, go away. Go now.

Soon: Lissa the Cyborg
Not that I’m not already one, courtesy of the glasses, but this mod is new. In about 2 hours, I’ll be getting an IUD installed. Or implanted. Whatever. I’m so nervous I could scream. It could hurt like a sonovabitch or I might feel next to nothing. I’ll post back later, if I don’t chew my fingers off (my nails are already gone) in the meantime.

“Reshaping the landscape” posted
I wrote a piece of flash fiction last week called “Reshaping the Landscape” that I’ve published here at irrsinn.net tonight: “Flat landscapes for better visibility,” they claimed. “Safer all around,” they claimed. Bullshit. “It’s my landscape!” she shouted down behind her. “You can’t have it!” Writing this has spawned a whole set of ideas in this same ‘verse.

Then watch the Ze Frank dancing here (especially “Strutting It” and “Stop it Silly”) and here and tell me there’s not a marked resemblance. I knew there was something familiar about SB’s dancing the first time I saw that mess. At the time, though, I was watching my high school students do the dances, and…

*nom, nom* Anime
Having finished as much of Death Note as I’m going to, I’m now out of anime. I’ve recently finished Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and Full Metal Panic, too (both of which I thoroughly enjoyed). Nothing else on Hulu sounds very good and/or is subbed (or I’d be snoozing my way through Mushi-shi now, at G’s insistence). I certainly don’t mind shelling out for anime (I did for GitS:SAC and FMP), but I want to be pretty sure that I’ll like it before I drop $50 on a series. Utena was going to be next, but it’s out of print, evidently. Where do I go now to broaden…
