Berserk, Plans, and Parking Lot Dancing
Jason and I are watching Berserk, an anime series based off the manga of the same title. The first ten episodes didn't impress me all that much, but I'm very glad I stuck with it because I think the storytelling is quite good, and I've grown to care for many of the characters. Instead of working at work (because who wants to work), I decided to pull up the first volume of the manga and read it online. Before I knew it, I had whizzed through the first three volumes. So good, by the way. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys fantasy or dark fantasy.
You know, I'm still not completely clear on the distinction between dark fantasy and plain old fantasy. It seems to me that they overlap at times. I get the general idea, but I don't see how someone can like one and not the other. At any rate, there are boobies, blood, sex, and violence in the Berserk manga (and the anime), but that should only make you want to read it more. Right?
I'm taking tomorrow off work just because I feel like it. What will I do with these eight hours of freedom? Walk Ferguson, have a leisurely lunch on the patio of my favorite sandwich place, go shopping for a couple books, and (most importantly) read.
Oh, and just because I can... This video has made its rounds many, many times, but I found it on my hard drive earlier, and it reminded me of how awesome it would be to dance with Alan Rickman in a gas station parking lot. You know you want to.
