anogete | My Mother is on MySpace?

My mother found my MySpace. o_O I got one a couple years ago because it was the easiest way to communicate with a friend of mine from back home. I didn't put any effort into it at first, but then I started finding old friends from my high school days, and I got sucked into creating a decent profile and uploading some pictures. It's been nice to talk to people I haven't seen in years. Anyway, my mother knew I had a MySpace because a few other family members had found it and friended me - cousins (hers and mine) and the like. This evening, I got a message that 'Kim' had sent a friend request. I immediately thought it was the boss's daughter who works with us now. I clicked on the profile and found my mother. So, now I'm friends with my mother on MySpace. I had to go through my profile and my minimal blog on there to make sure I didn't need to remove any incriminating evidence of my deviant behavior. Oddly enough, there wasn't anything that needed to be removed. (All of that stuff is on this LJ, no doubt.) On the other hand, I think it's neat for her to be able to see into this side of my life. I've never been very open with my mother about my interests just because she doesn't share them. She's not really opposed to them; she just doesn't seem understand them all that well. Her favorite movies all involve Martin Lawrence, for crap's sake. Plus, it will be a nice way for her to keep in contact with other family members. I left her a comment on her page, but I'm still a bit weirded out.

Jason and I just watched the tenth episode (Master of Monster) of Hellsing, the anime series. How can anyone watch that and not 'ship the hell out of Alucard/Integra. Just the thought of it makes me swoon. The bit in the dungeon when he is released from captivity by her and ends up taking a bullet in his arm to save her from her uncle? And then she uses his arm to steady hers as she aims her gun at her uncle to shoot him? Gah. My idea of romance is so twisted.

In related news, I'm going to publicly admit to my severe love of Eric from Charlaine Harris's Southern Vampire novels. So, my problem isn't with vampires; it's just with Bill. Alcide has also grown on me in this third novel. I didn't think I'd like him all that much at first, but I can't help it. He's charmed me.

I started reading Henry Hazlitt's Economics in One Lesson because it came highly recommended. It's so ridiculously good, and now I'm even more disgusted with our government and the collective idiocy of nearly every single elected official in Washington. I want to make them all sit down and read this book. If they can read, that is.

I've read the first two volumes of the manga, and I have the others - actually bought the sixth today. I've been trying to drag it out to make it last. I watched the first nine episodes of the anime over the space of a few weeks several months back. I stopped watching because I wanted to be surprised when I watched the last few episodes with the boyfriend. I love delaying gratification, I think.

Hah! I see. Well, my suggestion is read the manga before watching the OVA. OVA is good for animated fights and that is all.

As you can see by the two volumes, its a bit different from the Anime. Alucard to Seras...is like a harsh dad and he's like knight in shining armor/bitchboy to Integra since day one. The change in their meeting makes for a different direction in the future.

I'll definitely do that, then. I actually wobbled back and forth on whether we should watch the OVA at all, considering the up-in-the-air status of the US release of it. Or at least I think it's still up-in-the-air. Despite my love of delaying gratification, I like having the option, having access to it if I want it instead of waiting for a distributor here to pick it up.

I don't like the OVA too much, so my opinion is biased. I did fall in love with OVA!Pip (though I crushed on him since the Manga), but the others left me cold.
