Clamp, samurai&hip hop, good shoujo and sparkly vampires

[sessho]

Recently I've been doing a little re-reading of CLAMP's works. ^^ I read xxxholic, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles (and reminded myself just why and how much I love them xD), Card Captor Sakura (it's such a sweet and warm manga - I'm meeting with Kasumi this Monday to borrow the anime from her), Suki Dakara Suki and Gohou Drug. It'd probably continue if not for the fact that I watched overdue Skip Beat's episodes, talked with Med -> decided to check out the manga and fell in love with the story. XD Kyouko is such a funny and likable character and even though she's a heroine of a shoujo manga I really like her - I guess it helps that she's quite original. ^^ Aaand Ren's father is awesome just like Med said <3 I even came to like Ren himself. And even Shoutarou a bit - which surprises me, because I hadn't thought that I can consider him anything other than an awful jackass (with a great voice xD). But I guess it's the doing of the manga - he gets some more attention and we're shown a bit of his better side (but he still remains a huuge jackass xD).
And there's going to be a drama made of it~ (Maybe I'll finally watch one xD)
And I've re-read some chapters of Mekakushi no Kuni - it's a shoujo as well and I love it - it's such a warm manga <3

I'm watching Samurai Champloo - started yesterday and watched 6 episodes <3 It seems this anime will be fun~ (Personally, I loved the scene with cross-dressing Jin and this particular line - Hentai! Iya, dai hendai! Don't know whether my spelling is good) I'll probably be done with this one in two-three days. ^^

This Friday I borrowed infamous Twilight from my classmate. I wanted to form my own opinion and not just repeat what I've heard.
After the first page and the description on the back-cover I'd already known that I'll laugh a lot. And roll my eyes while I'm at it. ;) I read more than half of the book and the story itself is quite interesting. But. I have to agree with what Tsu once said - Meyers' 'style' resembles a lot the ones you meet when you venture the dark depths of ff.net. And all those descriptions of Edward - they're killing me. XD I wonder how many times one can repeat stuff like 'his perfect lips', 'my Adonis', 'young god', 'captivating smile/eyes/lips/words/gazes/etc.' - they're pretty pathetic. ^^ Also, I don't think that the first person narration was a good idea. xD Given that Bella is rather irritating (and she's created as very original, but I didn't really noticed in what exactly way it manifests itself - that she likes to read and have no instinct of self-preservation?). I've already gotten to the sparkling part as well xD I have to admit I hadn't thought that it would be so...literal. xD
All in all, I can't quite comprehend how such a book could become a best-seller. Or rather - I can, but it's pretty depressing. xD

This Tuesday I have a test from whole romanticism - and since I'll probably go for advanced Polish on matura in the next year, my teacher's going to give me a suitably more difficult topic. XD But I don't really intend to study too much - I'm just reading my notes from lessons (but given that we've been doing the romanticism since October it's not a quick task either XD).

Ale pokochałaś już całym swym kołaczącym sercem Eduardo i Bellitę, nieprawdaż? :3

Ja rzadko na jakikolwiek pairing się szczególnie krzywię, więc mi można wszystko bez obawy pokazywać. XD

No ja na miano tarda nie zasługuję, ale ten pairing bardzo lubię. Strip z ogłoszeniem niedpodległości przez Amerykę należy do moich ulubionych.
