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!

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.
