Whining, movies, and haiku

[cicer]

I've been a bit scarce lately, mostly because I've spent the last few days hiding under my bedcovers, wallowing in self-pity and pretending that I don't have to go back to school next week. *whines* I know I'm behaving like a five-year-old, but darn it, I'm not ready to go back! I like this business of sleeping in late and spending the rest of the day reading and doing various dumb time-wasting things. Also, I have to take math and science classes this semester, sob. Still, it's probably for the best that I'm being forced to get back into a routine and do some kind of work, since I've been just obscenely lazy this summer. Really, it's kind of appalling. I haven't accomplished a damn thing. Sigh. So, it's back to the salt mines next Tuesday. At least I get to indulge myself in my very favorite things in the whole world: new school supplies! Mmm, fresh pencils and notebooks.

In Saiyuki-related news, I am totally asdfkjalkdsfj over the latest Reload chapters. Just. Adsdfkjhaj. *flails* I have absolutely no idea what's going on, but it is awesome, and I'm totally digging it. Honestly, at this point, if Minekura just had the characters stand around and read the phone book to each other, I would still love it. ♥ Does anybody have any idea when the next volume of Reload might be coming out? I couldn't find the release date anywhere, so I imagine it's not for a while. Boo. I really, really want to get an official English translation of the latest chapters.

Last week I saw Brideshead Revisited, which was okay, and The Dark Knight, which was sheer concentrated awesome with a delicious awesome filling, covered in awesome sauce. In short: Heath Ledger's Joker is the most fantastically, terrifyingly, charmingly psychotic thing ever. Also, A+ explosions and special effects. Also, Aaron Eckhart is very, very pretty. Epic movie is, indeed, epic.

And finally, because I am bored, and desperately searching for things to distract me from the imminent fall semester, haiku meme! Give me a character or pairing, and a word/object, and I will write you a haiku. Ask for as many as you like, quality not guaranteed, void where prohibited, etc. Go!

I think you are a total pansy, as you have gotten TWO FULL WEEKS more vacation than I did. JUST. SAYIN'. XD A five-year-old indeed.

Also, if anyone knows what's going on in Saiyuki lately, they have infinite points against me and I will wibble because jeez god, idk. Sadly I agree about the phone book, though.

I only got one week of vacation this week and I'm already whining about having to go back to work on Monday!

As for haiku thingies, a few requests :D
Captain Jack Sparrow, apple
Aziraphale, book
Gimli, axe
Schuldig, hair
Hakkai, wine

Feel free to skip the ones you don't feel like doing :P

Jack Sparrow, apple:

Gold teeth puncture firm
White flesh, thick juice explodes from
Sweet forbidden fruit


Aziraphale, book: (this one's a bit silly!)

Crisp, dusty parchment
Stuffed in overflowing shelves
Need more bookcases


Hakkai, wine: (a single haiku couldn't contain this one, I had to go for a double!)

Once a reminder
Of blood and sin, the color
Now evokes thoughts of

Another nature.
Ruby hair and eyes replace
Gore, blood turns to wine.

Vacation? What is this thing called vacation? T_T

Crawford, relaxing
Gojyo, tatoo
Hakkai/Gojyo, obsession
Crowley, NASA
Azaraphiale, CIA (only the British version, you know, whomever Bond works for, only I can't remember what the organization is called over there ^^;; )
Schuldig/Crawford, control
Yohji/Crawford, scarves
Sanzo/Gojyo, stress-relief

(psst! I'll treade you places! You can work at my job and I'll go to school for you. You can still have the shiny new school supplies ~_^ but I'll do your math and science for you :D)

Gojyo, tattoo:

Indelible marks
Scarred cheeks, scarlet hair and eyes
Different kinds of brands


Schuldig/Crawford, control:

Wicked games, always
A struggle for dominance
Without a loser


Sanzo/Gojyo, stress relief:

Cocked gun, paper fan
Violence doesn’t satisfy
Deeper needs, urges


(Ooh! I like this idea! I'll trade my math and science away any day! XD)

Haiku?
Koumyou, *thinks*...*looks around* fox.
Ah, sorry about that ^_^;

The actual reason I commented was to ask if you happen to know of saiyuki_manga
They have scans and translations of recent chapters (which I hope are recent to you as well >_>), thought you have to friend the community before you can see them.

Koumyou, fox: (had to do another double haiku for this one)

Little fox nesting
Hidden in the temple walls
Slinking through the dark

Monks chase it out, armed
With brooms and fans, while Koumyou
Slips it plates of scraps.


Ooh, thanks for the link! I didn't know they had translations there.

Wonderful! ^__^
especially so very early in the morning as it is for me
