just call me senpai
Jun. 10th, 2008 12:13 am= First day as a colored belt kid in seven years, and I end up training with a woman whose first day was today. Doing a technique that I haven't even done yet. Luckily, senpai Bob, who was running class today, decided to scale ushiro ryote dori shiho nage (a two-hand grab, in motion, from behind) down to katate dori shiho nage (same hand grab, can be done static).
= Liz is a mumbly senpai. It's weird being senior to older people. XD
= I've been watching too much Shounen Club and am on a Juniors kick. And I still think that Question?'s Fujiie is Pon's seekrit older brother, just playing a bass and a bit more rodenty (good rodents!) looking and with a higher-pitched voice. And girlier.
= Randomly decided to catch up on the massive trainwreck that is the X-men comicverse, and found out that a) Pixie is all 'dark' and has a psychic dagger (hello, Psylocke much) in 616, and b) Ultimates has a new writing staff that includes some guy from Heroes, and is starting a new arc that seems to feature Piotr prominently. I'm hoping this means Jean-Paul will get more screentime too. And it would be awesome if Piotr/Jean-Paul got some screentime. Pagetime.
= Following that, a major o_O for Ultimates!Alpha Flight. I like what they did with Snowbird - it makes more sense for a demi-goddess of the land to look like a native (or well, basically native) of the land she's from, rather than some pale blond chick. But Shiro and Jubilee? Token Asians? Random way of getting them into the books? I would've much preferred Puck II to Jubes, anyways. They've got similar characters/looks, but Puck II is more badass and less annoying. At any rate, they're there to kidnap Jean-Paul. Yay!
= ...If they kill Ult!Jean-Paul, I will be very sad.
= Oh, jeez. Now I remember why I stopped following comics:
( ...resulting in Warren having an eagle-like head and feathered upper torso. )
= I still want to read this Ultimate arc, I think. >.> At least the art doesn't make me cringe anymore.
= Hello, Jrock/pop friends. Meet Liz's comic book geek side. :D :D
