Rend, slaughter, devour your enemies

Well, finally started Digital Devil Saga 2.

( thoughts )

Also, I'm kinda in need of furniture for my apartment - I currently have no place to comfortably curl up and do my reading for class except for my bed, which is problematic because it tends to put me to sleep (because bed = sleep for me). So I'm looking for either a nice comfy armchair or a nice comfy loveseat/sofa. And the chair that I wanted from Overstock.com has now sold out (damn $1 shipping sale!), so I can't get that.

I guess what I'm asking is, does anyone know where I could find some good furniture in the Iowa City area? (For those of you who have lived here.) Or just in general, in the case of online or chain stores. My only real requirement is that they have to deliver, since I am carless. And also, I'd like something that's relatively good value for the money, since I'm on a limited budget.

...dammit, playing DDS games always makes me hungry. XD

Sibling libelry

Wow, for some reason incest has been the watchword of the week. Between looking at the sources and reasons for incest taboos in theory class, discussing the incestuous implications of Mansfield Park, discussing father-daughter marriage in my Chaucer class (we're doing the Clerk's Tale), and watching Gilgamesh, I'm beginning to sense a theme.

And I just got Tanya Huff's Smoke and Mirrors from the library* (it's part of her new series, which I like, about a gay production assistant on a Canadian Angel-esque show who happens to be the associate of a vampire and learning to be a wizard), and the two ghosts who kind of trigger the story and have played a major part in it so far (they're even on the cover) are a brother and sister who were killed by their father for, er... *points to icon*

I hope the world isn't trying to tell me something, because ew.

* = I totally mistyped that "lubrary," which gave me odd visions of like a place where you check out various kinds of lube. Though I really don't want to think about what happens when they get returned. XD

Edit: OMG FURUBA HOODIES I WANT HARU

Because we're all so shallow...

[Poll #596302]

If you want pictures, here's Argilla and here's Jenna Angel.

Edit: Just realized that the title of that poll should have had "ahebert and me." Oh well, nothing I can do about it now. (Though it is kinda humiliating for an English Ph.D. student...we should totally be beyond petty little things like typos!)
