The Return of the Randomness
I'll start with a few words about RisPara. So, Ristorante Paradiso ended, today. I will only say this: it probably wasn't a good idea to watch eps 10 and 11 back to back, because I was very close to crying. For one, I've mentioned that I adore Luciano, and seeing how he handled that adulterous woman was so awesome. Even after losing his wife years ago, he still loves her. -sniff- Seeing someone stay loyal to their partner, after death, just hits such a chord with me. You rock, Luci-jiisan! As for 11, it was sweet how the revelation about Nicoletta and Olga's relationship came about. I never liked Olga, but seeing her wise up to her selfish ways was nice. I'm still not quite sure how I feel about Nicoletta and Claudio, but they're still cute. (And that scene at the beginning where Nicoletta dumped the pasta on his head; everyone's reactions were priceless, especially Gigi's. XD Side glance, and keep eating! That dork!)
In all, I liked RisPara a lot. The characters were well-developed, the music was good to listen to, it had a nice atmosphere, and it was just a nice change of pace for me. If, by the distant chance it gets licensed, I'll be getting it on dvd for sure.
In other news, I'm falling in despair over the recent string of deaths. Not only did we lose three celebrities, two today, but a few of my friends have lost family members. Plus, one of my pool guards just lost his dog, while I lost my cat last week. My family still has no idea what happened to him, but while I was talking to BJ today, he mentioned he saw a huge snake around my house. So, I'm guessing that had something to do with it. So, now my family's cat-less again. We are thinking about getting another one, but not for a while. Still, I'm gonna miss Gus so much. T_T He was just such a good boy; he'd use his scratching post, we used to play together, we even talked to each other.
Continuing with the zetsubou, unfortunately, Dad's going to be taking half of next week off. Oh, joy. Now I can relive last year's 7/4 vacation again. =_= Plus, I'd really have no exit, this time. Mom doesn't have summers off anymore, Dad traded in the Pontiac for a giant cock-compensating truck, and that forces me to be a shut-in. orz "There is no God in this world.", so says Setsuna.
I swear, while I know it's completely unintentional, it just feels like they're keeping on a leash. I have no way out, and I'm becoming more and more irritated with being shut in all the time. Just a few weeks ago, I went beyond my limit and had a huge breakdown. It could have ended badly, but I managed to keep myself from doing anything deadly. I won't lie, though, I was very close to doing so.
Oh, yeah! The G00-2 dub starts on Sci-Fi, next Monday! Even though it ended about three months ago, I'm excited to see it again. ^^ (Well...Saji/Louise, Marina, and Lyle/Anew notwithstanding, anyway. >.>) Then again, with the G00/Geass seiyuu doing vocal work in the new FMA, it's almost like it never left. lol Heck, this coming Sunday, we're getting Greed Aker! XD (I kinda wish Jean Katagiri would have a small speaking role in here, but I doubt it.) I do want more Lust and Gluttony, though. -misses her seiyuu manzai duo- (Which reminds me, I'm extremely jealous about Kikuko Inoue going to Otakon. ONEE-SAAAAAAN~!!!)
Thinking about it, I really want to see some more cds and such, to tide us over until the movie. Don't get me wrong, the recent drama cd cracked me up, emphasis on the "crack" part. Ah! That "chorisu" obsession never ceases to amuse me. What I really want to see are character singles for the ace pilots. If they did that, though, I'd like them to have a duet with their "support" figures, too. Yeah, I'm hinting at a huge desire for an Akugiri duet, but Soma/Sergei and Patrick/Kati would be adorable as well. (I can still hear Alle screaming for "MARIE~!", in the background for the HRL one. Yes, I have too much time on my hands and no life.)
