I have three more in draft, which have yet to be typed, but didn't due to not feeling well (female stuff) and also today was Mother's Day. But here are the four that I posted:

Just back from a short trip to Lowell, for an appointment with my therapist, and to take care of some bank business. Also had my lunch at Dunkin Donuts: tried their new apple cider -- iced, as it was little warm to have it hot. Tasty! But I have feeling it tastes better when it's warm.

Still getting the hang of the iPad: I think the hardest part is figuring out how to hold it. Hold it in one hand and type on it with the other? Lay it in my lap and type on it two hands? If there's more spelling gaffes than usual, this is part of it. For some reason, this is causing me to type slower and make more mistakes. Plus, the spell check on Safari seems a little more sensitive than the one on FireFox.

Started watching the chunk of Supernatural season five that I missed last year (read most of it), and so far, I think "Changing Channels" is my favorite of thus season. Of course, I love anything involving the Trickster: he's a great comedic foil to the Winchester Brothers. And the Big Reveal involving said Trickster seemed less jump-the-shark than I thought it was, from just hearing about it (I won't go into detail, at the risk of spoilers): I guess it's a case of an idea being Better Than It Sounds.

The main reason is because yesterday was Ascension Thursday and I ended up going to the later Mass at Mary Immaculate in Newton, with my folks; I had every intention of going to the earlier Mass at St. Joe's in Lowell, but I woke up too late to catch the bus, due to not feeling well since I'd had a rather nasty allergic reaction to some hair remover that I'd used. I've missed most of this season anyway, due to deciding to stop watching it on our TV because of A Family Member Who Will Remain Unidentified grumbling when I had it on. I can deal with people asking questions, but a constant mantra of "this is stupid... this is stupid... this is stupid..." got to be more than I can take. I can deal with people not liking things that I do, but if they are sharing airspace with me and they are slamming it when I am trying to watch it, or if they start slamming it in front of me when I am trying to talk about what I like about it, that is a major dealbreaker for me.

Thus I'm avoiding spoilery entries on folks' LJs and waiting for the DVDs to come out (which likely won't be till September).

WARNING: Mild homophobia

The thought crossed my mind: what does one call a group of death gods? I used the phrase "bevy of shinigami" in an earlier entry, and it started to bug me what the proper term would be? (Yes, I obsess over things like this: it's more interesting than obsessing over bills or my alleged lack of a "love life", which I actually have, it's just not a romantic one). The phrase "a scything of reapers" came to mind, but this would likely apply best to western pyschopomps (even though the Japanese pop-culture image of the shinigami is actually borrowed from the western notion of "the Grim Reaper": the word "shinigami" apparently wasn't coined until sometime in the Meiji period). I'm still stuck as to what to call a bunch of their eastern cousins.

Another thing occurred to me, something that has popped up in a couple series featuring pyschopomps: someone mind-controlling a psychopomp. It happened in an episode of Supernatural, where Tessa the Reaper was briefly possessed, and it happens in an episode of Bleach, when one of the Bounts mind-controls one little Soul Reaper. This bugs me to no end: if something is the personification of that cosmic dynamic which indicates the cessation of life or at least a dramatic and unalterable change in how one's existence is experienced, doesn't that mean they're considerably more powerful and thus outside of being controlled by something lesser? I can go with a pyschopomp being physically restrained (the Aleister Crowley-wannabe in the first volume of the Sandman Comics tries to pull this off, and it happens a few times in Yami no Matsuei), but someone hijacking the volition of a psychopomp is likely worse than having a terrorist get their hands on a nuclear missile silo. I mean, think about that for a moment: you have a creature that can end life (however one defines that ending); I would think there is some cosmic law that prevents this from happening, in case someone goes completely Omnicidal. If you think of life in the eastern sense, ie. that everything has a spark of life in it, from humans down to the tiniest stones, can you imagine the devastation that could be caused? We're not just talking about end of the world as we know it, it could be the heat death of the universe if you had someone angry enough and destructive enough controlling said psychopomp(s). It also defines God-Moding. Which we know I despise. I guess what I'm saying is, my Willing Suspension of Disbelief stops at the idea of a mind-controlled psychopomp, since there's some major teleological High Octane Nightmare Fuel involved.

Also managed to scribble down the last of the centi_50 fics, though none of those will go live until after I've finished the 12 Fanfic Roses challenge. So expect a torrent of those once I finish showering you with roses (though if I don't get cracking with those, you're likely to see me dump the basket upside down over your heads, which may not be good for the Friends list).

Hm. Now I'm curious: there's two YnM crossovers which I wonder if they've been done. One with The Sandman Comics specifically the Death comics (since Death would probably glom on Hisoka and/or Tsuzuki big time: there's a creepy one featuring the Corinthian and his possible involvement with Muraki's glass eye) and one with "Dead Like Me" (though if George and Hisoka got together, they'd likely annoy the crap out of each other, since they're both snarky and a bit diffident; I imagine Mason and Tsuzuki would be the best of buddies, but I wonder how Rube and Tatsumi would get along since they're both rather meticulous). Off to go a-searching!!
