The project which must be complete and polished by Monday: an interpretative dance

I stare at it.

It stares back.

I stare at it.

It stares back.

I eat dinner and watch the first episode of Naruto, which is ever so much more poignant when you've already read thirty volumes of manga. Also-- yep, that was Urahara and Tsuzuki's voice actor, all right. Too bad he's not in the rest of the show, although I see why they wanted a good actor for that role.

I go back to staring at the project.

It goes back to staring back. Balefully.

I will now work on for another forty minutes without doing anything else, and will then knock off and continue reading The Black Stallion's Blood Bay Colt, which is excellent despite the total lack of aliens, vampires, or rabid vampire bats.

Give the project the ol' Magenkyou Sharingan eye!

I have Issues with the "Naruto" anime's animation quality and its devotion to making Naruto look like a moron, but I love the voice cast. The one actor--you're talking about Mizuki, right? He actually came back at one point this filler season for a mini-arc of, like, stupid crime and evil and reveeeenge, complete with shoddily-animated henchman. But Iruka and Naruto were On The Case For Great Justice And Bonding!

I just did some reasonably... existing... work on it, so there, evil project. Ah, and it is now later than I had meant to knock off, so I will go do my never-ending physical therapy exercises and read in bed.

Yes, Mizuki. Umm, it makes Naruto look like a moron? I thought he was being all immature in the first one because he was ten.

I looked up the voice cast, and apparently Gaara is played by Akira Ishida, who also played Hakkai. That makes quite the little sub-niche of... I feel like saying anything about Gaara is spoilery... well, you can probably guess where I was going.

Oh, I didn't mean the first episode (I love the first episode), it's more filler-stuff later on.

Yes. Yes, I can. (Didn't he also play Xelloss in "Slayers"?) Clearly he is down with the crazeh.

Kazuhiko Inoue is Kakashi as well Hatori in "Fruits Basket" and Yuki in "Gravitation", which gives us both painful pasts and eye trauma. And Temari/Paku Romi = still my seiyuu girlfriend.

Some day I will make a master list of anime characters with painful pasts and eye trauma. It will be long.

Make it a general list of Vision Issues and it will be even longer, but Jin can be on it.

Yep, Xelloss too. Also, just to break your brain, he was Sasuke Saruiobi in Samurai Deeper Kyo.

Oh, dude, Kazuhiko Inoue's one of my favorites too. And yeah, Ishida Akira does the crazeh pretty damn well.
