A Much Delayed Update

[jdotmi]

Well, I would see if I have any belated birthday wishes to go through, but LJ seems to have crapped all over the birthday listing page. Oh well. x_x

Margaret Cho: "Pussy With Screw On Bottom"
Thursday night after work I headed over to amberthistle's place for a visit and to drag her, along with eligrrl and belinus, to see Margaret Cho at E.M.U.'s convocation center. amberthistle wasn't able to stay (crowds = BAD) but the rest of us stayed for the show.

It rocked. I can't really describe it, but it did. I'd go more into it, but between the exploding pussy, the pussy cracking corn, and the pussy with the bow I don't think I could do it justice.

A Day Off?
I don't work at Borders on Fridays anymore. This is... odd... I managed to sleep in til about 9 am or so before the attack cats pried me out of bed to feed them. Stupid attack kitties. Got up, had a sandwich, had some waffles, watched some (ok, a lot) of Sailor Moon. Spent time with satyr_mi, which was a definite plus. :-) Then napped, watched more Sailor Moon, and went to work at midnight. :-p

Visitations:
Went over to the House Of Ill Repute v2.0™ (aka the dwelling of templar_rose, brigittefires, and rainbowravenx) on Saturday. Chatted some, introduced John's daughter to Japanese Sailor Moon. Stole back my Werewolf storyteller's handbook and Ghouls book. Put my cell phone number into his cell phone, although I'm not sure if he'll notice. :-p Left there to go to work again.

Work:
Got to work at midnight Sunday morning.

I'm still at work.

Well, okay. I'm at Borders. Yeah, remember where I said I don't work on Fridays anymore? Well, this is why. x_x

I've been up since 4:30pm yesterday... I'm here until 6pm... It's 9:15 now...

The manga is good, but it's a lot different. It doesn't have any real side stories to it. And there are major changes towards the end in terms of who characters are.

The princess thing? I've heard about that part at least...

[jdotmi.livejournal.com]

That's actually one of the smaller changes. Heh. Let's see... Chibi Chibi is not the same at all in the Manga. The Sailor Starlights are chicks (all the time) but they do dress up as boys. Galaxia is totally different. The Amazoness Quartet have a nice (good) twist. Sailor Iron Mouse and co. have different backstories. The fight with Queen Beryl/Metallia is just against Metallia (Beryl's history is changed significantly). The Four Warriors of the Dark Kingdom have a major history change. Sailor Moon R (doom tree) doesn't exist.

That (almost) covers it pretty well. :-p

Oh, and Uranus and Neptune are lesbians, not cousins. :-p Although, I don't know if they just became cousins in the American version or if they were in the Japanese as well...

Well, of all those things, I knew about the Doom Tree thing. From what I've heard, that was put into the anime because it had caught up to the manga. The extra half-season of the anime gave delayed the storyline enough for the mangaka (whose name I can't remember and am too lazy to look up...something with a 'T') to finish with the real R.

And Uranus and Neptune are definitely lesbians in the original anime, though it's not terribly explicit. The phrase I love when describing the difference is: "In the original anime, they were lesbians. In the dub, they're incestuous lesbians!" *g* The dub refers to them as cousins, but even then it still quite obvious that they're an item *g*

Takeuchi Naoko (or Naoko Takeuchi as she is called in the American translations where they invert the name to match English naming standards).

And, yeah, R pretty much existed to lengthen the anime. Partially due to catching up and partially due to the manga being so much shorter. Seriously. Season 1 of Sailor Moon is 46 episodes... The same material is completed by Chapter 10 of the Manga, and Chibi-Usa shows up in that same chapter! O_o

So, yeah, that word.
