Those in the Tucson area: Margie went to open The Silver Sea this morning and discovered that one of the front windows had been smashed in with a brick and someone had stolen the 8 on 2 chainmail shirt that was on a maniquin there. If anyone sees or hears anything please let either Margie or Lizzie know.

Anyone looking to do something over the weekend, my apologies. Evidently I have the same reaction to high-fat foods in general that I do to pork. S'not pretty. Blargh.

Plus side: Started training for work today! Yay!!!

To ysabet:
WE HATES YOUS. WE HATES YOUSE VEDDY MUCH.
-your 'Grey Zone' idea took root. Spent part of the night trying to think up other anime that take place in London. >P S'about half done, from Kaito's POV. Hates you greatly. *flounces off to sulk*

Anime that takes place in London, Hellsing's the only one I can think of.

Ummm....

[sheyasan.livejournal.com]

Didn't Sailor V take place in England?

Re: Ummm....

[ickaimp.livejournal.com]

No offense, but not touching Sailor Moon. @_@;;

Hmm... Hellsing, huh? *cackles*

[dogmatix-san.livejournal.com]

*nod* Hellsing. Steamboy, but that's in 1866, FMA, but that's 1916 and 1920's. Bakura Ryou's apparently Japanese/British if you believe the YGO dub, but I can't swear to it.

[ickaimp.livejournal.com]

Hmm... nope, I'm pretty faithful to my YGO HKs and manga. ^_______^

The only other character I could think of in London is Lisaru (name is short for LSD)from Shaman King. Y'know, the with neon green hair, wears a inverness coat cape, fondness for the Big Ben and has a Spirit named 'Morphine'. >D

Needless to say, we decided 'no'. ^^;;

Ruby Jones aka Chat Noir is in Paris.... hmm....

Whee!

Go Ysabet! *snicker*

**Ysabet bows modestly** Thenkyew. Can't WAIT to read it! And then maybe it'll spawn an entire new storyline.... BTW, I have to quote something about white horses here (Hakuba's name-meaning, as you told me) just because it is such a damn cool poem. I was reading Lost Gods of Albion: The Chalk-Hill Figures of Britain (yes, I know, geeky, but INTERESTING geekiness) and got to the chapter on the White Horse of Uffington, the oldest of the old hillside-horses. Here's the poem I fell in love with, by G.K. Chesterton in 1911:

Age beyond age on British land
Aeons on aeons gone,
Was peace and war in western hills
And the White Horse looked on.
For the White Horse knew England
When there was none to know;
He saw the first oar break or bend,
He saw heaven fall and the world end,
O God, how long ago.

**shivers** I just love that. Does it have anything to do with this post? Well, no, other than 'white horse' and all, but if I was logical all the time I wouldn't be me, I guess.

[ickaimp.livejournal.com]

Actually, that's quite fitting...
Coolness!! Thanks!

It may not be fat, it could be viral and you may have got it from me because I've spent the last two days feeling completely miserable.

Two words:

Gall Bladder...

Since this isn't a one time thing, it's probably that...

Get it checked out. You'll feel much better.

Animes in London?

[goover.livejournal.com]

I think... Negima. *nods* Oh wait... No... That starts in America then goes to Japan... No London. -_- Oh wells.

But a ten year old boy DOES have to teach junior high students at an all grils school. They get into a "Who Has the Biggest Boobs?" contest to see who gets to "keep" him. Balloons win. *snerk*
