Spent my last night with . He’s discovered a delicious anime called The Millenium Actress. We can’t think as to why we’ve never heard of it before. I strongly urge everyone to find it. It’s a rare bit of  imaginative phantasmagorical romance.

I think I need to work on my vocabulary a bit. Bring it down a wee bit, perhaps. The Zim Marathon has reduced many of us to funny voices and random outpourings of TacoDoom, but to use a word like phantasmagorical without thinking about it? That’s a bit much. Tonight is the free-thinkers party hosted by . That should likely help.  The Lord    calls them The Raving Atheists. I don’t know what I’m walking into, but I’m sure it will be fun. Sweet arguing among relative intellignce about boys and taste undestined. Should be nice.

I don’t want to have a child until it could have a tail or feathery wings, but I must say I’m slightly discomfited by the thought of creating worker drone humans. There’s something slightly soulless in cloning human bees.
