Green Apron Blues

It is spring and in Texas that means it is already summer. Ahh yes, the time has changed, the sun is shining and baristas everywhere are grumbling and whining. Only a person who has never had to tie the strings of the Siren's green to your waist would ask the question "Why?". I sympathize with every green apron out there. Be warned, my fellow baristas for FRAPPAGEDDON is upon us. Who will save us from such a depraved generation?

Heartspoken

*note: this is at least 3 years old*

It was the words that I did not say,
all those things I wanted to tell you.

Each day went by, now it's tears that I cry,
why wouldn't I say what was as plain as day?

Now my heart, it breaks and each moment it aches...

If only I had said, "I'm in love with you"

All the times we shared, etched into my soul
now memories that will never be sold

To be with you, the sweetest dream,
but no longer is this seen

My love for you, so pure so true,
now you're gone, what am I to do?

In my pride, I let time fly
now all I can do is silently cry.

R.O.D - Read or Die

"Now might be a good time to look at it. You have a choice...
Read or Die!"
- Joker to Yomiko Readman, the Paper







Ahh, yes my darlings it seems my favorite series is back again. Last month, on my birthday no less, Volume 1 of the "Read or Die" manga was released in English. I was in geek heaven. I popped into Studio Anime Friday to pick up my reserved copy and have read it 3 times since.

I just love Agent Paper! Remember her?

She is a total nerd, a bibliophile. She lives for books and cannot get through the day without them. Although she is clumsy and goofy she is the most powerful Paper Master and effective agent for the Library of England. The huge glasses she wears belonged to her boyfriend, Donnie Nakajima, also a bibliophile and Paper Master. Now that he is dead she wears them so that he can continue to read through her eyes. What a sweet sentiment!


After reading the first installment many things from the R.O.D ova and R.O.D the TV already make sense. I am having so much fun with this and I cannot wait until May 17 when Volume 2 hits the shelves.

Somebody, Someone

It turns out that someone knew how somebody felt about them and decided to feign clueless. Somebody was afraid to tell someone their true feelings which is exactly why someone said nothing. Someone thought it was important for somebody to be the one to speak first because they knew it was a difficult task for somebody. Somebody is relieved that the truth is out in the open and is even more grateful for their newest friend. But at some point along the way someone mentioned a weakness. Oh yes, somebody knows the one thing in this world that someone does not like. Someone would go to great lengths to avoid contact with a certain object. Somebody may just have to take advantage of this. Pretending to be clueless, no matter how good the reasoning is behind it, is not fair. Does someone want chocolate covered cherries? Mmmm... tasty!
