I took the chance, I let go, I promised myself that it wouldn't scare me

When I was watching the Fruits Basket DVD extras today, there was an interview with Aya Hisakawa (the voice of Yuki). She mentioned that she'd worked with "Okki" (Ryotaro Okiayu, who voiced Shigure) before, on his first project. I totally didn't make the connection until I was playing the Marmalade Boy end credits to hear the song "Yoake no Etude," and lo and behold but who was on the credits but Aya Hisakawa as Arimi Suzuki (one of the major secondary characters)! Of course, Ryotaro Okiayu voiced Yuu, the male lead in the series - it was his first major role, I think, and I totally didn't connect this to the earlier interview until just now.

...it's kinda pathetic how little it takes to get me excited. XD

Completely unrelated to that, I kind of feel like making myself over wardrobe-wise. I'm kind of tired of wearing a T-shirt and jeans every day - while it definitely has its good points (comfortable, practical, easy to pick out clothes in the morning), I always feel kind of like a slob when I do so. And especially since I'm in grad school, and I'll be starting to teach next year, I'd kinda like to start dressing "like a grownup." XD

...you know, I don't think it's quite penetrated that I'll be teaching next year. Ye gods and little fishes, who would entrust their children's warpable little undergrad minds to me? >D

Let's Positive Linking!
- The latest on the quake in Pakistan. Pretty devastating stuff...I wish it were getting a little more coverage, but apparently for third-world misery to penetrate the American psyche it has to be on a scale of the tsunami from earlier this year. >_<
- Bwahaha, "shape enhancer" underwear. Read: padded crotch and/or butt. To be honest, I don't really understand it - if you care what someone seeing you in your underwear thinks, you're probably hoping to end up with them sans underwear, so the jig'll be up eventually. XD
- For those of you with Nintendo DSes (lucky bastards), apparently they're releasing a Gyakuten Saiban remake (a.k.a. lawyer videogame) in the U.S. finally, as Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.

Oh my God, there's a lawyer video game? XDDDDDD Why am I so incredibly amused? Now if they would use the delectable Lusca from Enzai as their character model...

That or you want people to look at you and think "Wow, his sports care must be HUGE!"

Aya Hisakawa's one of my favorite seiyuu. And the male enhancement underwear thing is too funny. It's begging for a snarky comment, but my brain's not working.

Hey, I am looking to update my wardrobe a bit too. Maybe when you swing back to KC we can check out some stores.
