So. Chinese Prince of Tennis. You all hoped I'd forgotten about it, eh? HAHAHAHA! My love continues to burn bright! *waves Qing Xue flag aroud*
How much fun was it to have friends over so I could subject them to the awesomness of angsty Chinese tennis boys? :D The hotpot and team cooking were loads of fun, too, and we ate very, very well indeed.
A few memorable quotes:
"So, we have a textbook that was written in -- broccoli!" (Emily, being distracted by vegetables)
"It, like, eats a hole in your stomach, but not in a bad way." (Me, on the subject of mapo tofu)
"Oh my, Fuji wants Captain's ass!" (Tiffany, after Zhou Zhu gave Guo Guang a particularly loaded look)
We only got 6 episodes in, which is not so much, as far as marathons go, but it was enough to make me start whining about how there were no more subbed episodes and when was all the Golden Pair angst going to be resolved, goddamnit?!? And then my guests went home, and I looked up the download links to send to them and there was a shiny new subbed episode up! *hearts and sparklies and kittens*
I downloaded it immediately, of course, but by the time it was done it was bedtime, so I just skipped through it tosee where the Golden Pair bits were check that the file was okay, but had to stop and watch a wee bit when I saw the there was a full-blown shouting argument between Da Shi (Oishi) and Ju Wan (Eiji). I guess it shows how pathetic I am that I went to bed troubled because of what they said to each other. ;_________;
When I got home tonight I watched the episode properly, and then the next one raw and in crappy .rmvb quality because I wanted to see them get back together! And I was rewarded, because OH MY GOD COULD GOLDEN PAIR BE ANY SLASHIER?! ( If you don't want to read spoilers, or don't care about the Chinese version of GP, skip this. )
All right, now it's late, and tomorrow I need to sew a Christmas tree costume, and somehow turn myself into an elf. Of the Santa's helper variety. @_@ Good night!
