I've had a lot of time in the last few days in which I've been too tired to really wrap my head around words on a page, let alone anything academic, so I've been picking away at the Sailor Moon Live Action series on YouTube. It's... special. And utterly addictive. (Usage is excellent, but Makoto is so my favourite.)

Also, the 2008 Sense and Sensibility isn't all bad, even if watching British television is increasingly turning into a distracting game of "Why does he look so familiar? Which character did he play on Doctor Who?" :P In this edition, we have Mark Gatiss (or Professor Lazarus) as the bumbling John Dashwood and David Morrissey as Colonel Brandon, though he's more familiar for other projects he's done with Tennant. Props to Morrissey, though, for playing a totally different character; I'd look at him sometimes and think, no way that's the fellow who played Ripley Holden.

You know, I have very little affection for this version of Minako. I'm not fond of this Rei either; there's very little vivacity to either of them and I miss that. It's probably why I'm so fangirling Makoto and Usagi. They're willing to have fun! And by fun, of course, I mean stalking celebrities. (Ami-dear is trying, but is crippled by terrible self-esteem!) To be fair, Minako did kind of let me down. I thought she had full working knowledge of the past (based on her comment about Tuxedo Kamen and Sailor Moon and destiny) and it was a let-down when not only did not remember anything, she was also way off base.

And like I told Margaret, oh my god, I have not shipped Usagi/Mamoru this hard in a really long time. They're so gosh darned cute!
