I find it odd to not understand women when you are a woman. Although I hate the word woman and much prefer being called a girl. Woman sounds boring unless you have the word wonder in front of it. Or maybe bat in recent times. Today Michi and I went shopping at Borders and we immediately separated when we stepped into the store. That's how it always goes. I head for manga/comics section and she goes off to self-help or sociology section.

Because I always have a vague idea of what I want when I go shopping in a book store I usually am done finding my stuff in five minutes. The girlfriend usually takes a lot longer. I tend to hang out in my section trying to find more possible buying options and she comes and gets me when she's ready. Today I did the same thing and one of the clerks who works there and likes to talk comics with me found me in the aisle and we started talking about Yurisai and lesbians in comics, blah blah, nerdy fun for me.

We talk for maybe forty minutes when Michi wanders over, I end the conversation and we go to check out. She asks how long I was chatting with the clerk and I tell her. She gets irked at me. I'm lost as to why she's mad. Well, I know she's jealous maybe but why the fuck? I ended the conversation soon as she showed up. I tried to get Michi to admit there was no need for her reaction and she said I'm inept in terms of understanding women.

Which, yeah, I'll totally cop to. But dude, that sucks! Shouldn't being a girl-woman-female-person-with-a-vagina help me understand the fucking species? It's bullshit unfair. I curse god or something. Anyway.

Oh yeah, I also got asked twice where stuff was in Borders when I was there. Every time I go there people think I'm an employee. I was wearing my "Republicans For Voldemort" t-shirt and no lanyard. You think that would tip people off that I'm not gainfully employed by the bookstore but noooo...

I'm working on my Touko/Yumi Marimite fanfic and should have a new section of it posted by Monday. For some reason I really want someone to do a Marimite music video to the song Walk On Water by Ozzy Osbourne. It just fits the series in an odd way if you ask me. For those who don't know the song here's a link.

I have another mp3 to share, this time from the band Apocalyptica which is a cellist group from Finland that do kick ass instrumental covers of heavy metal songs. I've known about them for awhile now but I just now got one of their cds. Really great stuff. I've decided to upload one of their Metallica covers to share.
