I have been downloading the entire run of Cowboy Bebop for about five days now... I'm at 42%, which is a huge leap overnight, but it's not really a good use of my time to sit here waiting to see how long it takes to get to 43%. I think it's pretty much guaranteed we're not going to hit 100% today. And, anyway, I've never seen so much as a moment of Cowboy Bebop, nor have I read the manga, so I'm not sure I'm even going to like it.

Drew a picture of someone blue, possibly Rama, using digitizing tablet. It's sort of a glamour shot. The digitizing tablet is still an odd toy, as I apparently rely highly on surface feedback when I draw on paper with an ink pen. I'm a hot-press bristol board kind of girl, but even still, there's some resistance from the paper. However, the tip of the digitizing pen/stylus thing glides over the supersmooth plastic of the tablet with frictionless ease and it feels incredibly foreign and strange. I am having to learn drawing all over again, in a sense. My handwriting, however, looks great. Unreadable, but ever-so-dramatic.

My new pants are already too big, which is kind of cool. Except that I can't really go buy more pants just yet. Even though we ate like pigs this weekend, I lost 5 lb, toppling off the plateau I'd been at for a couple weeks.

olympic fever / cabin fever When Olympic coverage ended for the morning, I actually watched about 10 minutes of Oprah (I don't think I've ever seen more than 10 consecutive minutes of Oprah, fwiw) wherein the guests were transgendered grade-school students and their parents.

I have got to leave the house.

I have got to.

Shall report back later on color of sky, number of boys ogled, etc.

I'm not generally a fan of anime, but I like Cowboy Bebop a lot. It's arty and smart and Spike is very hot with his long legs and blue suit and yellow shirt and big green hair. The music is great, too. Just understand that Ed is going to make you want to commit murder.

I don't usually like anime, either. And thus far, I prefer the manga of any given series better than the anime, but since I haven't read any of the CB manga, I'm completely without expectations.

Big. Green. Hair. I am intrigued.

Oh, in this case the anime is definitely preferable over the manga as the soundtrack is just *amazing.* And Spike does indeed have big green hair. Okay, greenish. But his head is like a puffball, somehow in a SEXY way.

This is why we like Spike. He's a rebel and a dork. Plus sometimes he eats noodles without his shirt on.

OMG! You will love Cowboy Bebop! Adore it! Treasure it! Spike, Vicious, Gren, Faye, Jet, Ed...It's wonderful! The characters are three-dimensional, at least the big 3 are: Spike, Faye and Jet. There are some misses among the 26 episodes, but it's mostly of the good. Spike's arc is incredible, they give you bits and pieces of his past all the way up to the last two episodes. Faye's arc...heartbreaking. I love her, she's such a bad ass. Okay, I know, I'm babbling. I tend to get like whenever I talk about this show, hence the alert.

I can't wait to read your thoughts. *g*

Hee. You're adorable.

As one might expect, I'll definitely be sharing my opinions after I see the eps ;)

Where did you dl Cowboy Bebop from?

I just finished dl’ing the Pimsleur Japanese lessons — ogg files of all the audio lessons and PDF and HTML files of the (ultra-thin) books. The books don’t teach language, but the snippets into the culture are good.

Overall, they’re a 400 MB dl. Let me know if you’re interested and I’ll e-mail you a link.

I think it was here that I found the torrent: http://torrent.youceff.com/index2.php

Or I could e-mail it to you, if you'd like.

I'd also love the link for the language lessons ;)

Oooh, thank you. I’ll look around there.

Also, I sent an e-mail with the link to the Pimsleur Japanese lessons to the e-mail address I found in your profile. Let me know if this isn’t an address you use.
