Today in a thrift shop I spotted a book called, The History of Prostitution. I was about to pick it up when I noticed that the cover was smeared with a sticky-looking white substance. Instantly flashing back to my conversation this morning with [livejournal.com profile] canandagirl over "venereal disease" vs. "sexually transmitted disease," I fled the store like a vice cop was after me.

On a less disgusting note, black sesame Pocky is now in stores. It is the best thing ever, unless you hate black sesame. COincidentally, the LA Times has an article on the booming popularity of desserts that use black sesame as a flavoring. Why can't I find any of those desserts? I also tried Montblanc (chestnut pastry) Pocky, but it was too sweet for my taste. Generally the "decorer" line, with two layers of icing, is too sweet for me.

In case you were wondering, This is Pocky. It's addictive. There are also many savory flavors, such as salad, tomato, fried, cheese and potato, and Hokkaido butter, which are not listed on that website.

I am sure everyone has seen this already who is interested, as it was all over my friendslist when the latest chapter of Saiyuki reload came out in Japan in "Zero Sum," but here it is, just in case you are interested and haven't seen it, or enjoy drawings of beautiful, not-quite-human men in general, and don't mind a mild sort-of spoiler for the face of Youkai Hakkai, oh my God. Hakkai is the guy in my icon. He has another form, whose face has been revealed for the first time after fifteen volumes of foreplay suspense. Amazingly, it is not a let-down.

[livejournal.com profile] campfuckudie is seriously addictive, and I advise everyone to stay away unless they want to be sucked in for hours and hours. This goes double for all Saiyuki fans, as the ikkou are all there and their players are all really good, especially the one playing Hakkai.

Also, a "split people into two people who express different aspects of their personality virus split Hakkai into Scary Gonou right before he finds Kanan at Hyakugaon Mauh's castle, and Scary Fake-Happy Hakkai: http://community.livejournal.com/campfuckudie/2133176.html#comments

Also, if you dig into the archives at the beginning, there was a brilliant Gaara player under the name of Mr. Sandman. I'd say all of the Gaara posts were worth reading, but especially the one where he transformed into a giant badger made out of sand (which is actually Naruto canon, but you don't need to know Naroto to appreciate it.)

Oooo I saw that one! That was great!

And did you see the Gojyo breaking up with Hakkai one?! And the reconciliation!

And this awesome Sanzo and Goku thread!

(btw, I have spent four hours reading this, which is entirely your fault!)

Re: *tempts you, like a tempty thing*


I loooooooved the breakup and reconciliation! Also, did you catch the ones at around the same time, where Hakkai turned into Kanan, then into Child Gonou?

Oh, here we go, Gaara collected his threads. The badger ones begin with "Gaara fears Sauke turned him gay" and continue over the next two:

Ooooo yes! I loved the him turning into Kanan one!

Hey, did you see [livejournal.com profile] harukami's explanations and thoughts on Hakkai in [livejournal.com profile] _diesmiling_? There's a great one in there on the thoughts behind crazy!Gonou and bippy!Hakkai, which was really cool.

I have that second one bookmarked as "there was a porn and a conversation broke out."

And you've probably seen this by now, but for rachelmanjia/anyone else interested: another memories listing of camp posts (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=cfud_scrapbook), organized by canon and by character. It's still several months behind, but it's a lot more up to date than [livejournal.com profile] mamas_boy.

(Pee Ess your Yaone is completely and totally awesome, have I mentioned that?)

Ah, you flatter me with your kind praise, Audience Telly-san! I am but a humble apothecary, truly.

Pardon, Audience-san? It is unusually chilly here in Louisiana for March, as point of fact.

Ahh, pardon me for being confusing, I meant to say that Yaone-san is a very attractive person.

((Heeeeee, keywords.))


Oh, him too! Kougaiji-san and Dokugaku-san are very attractive men, and as such Yaone-san fits very nicely with them.
