Seems like I remember you making a curry just the other day. Is that your new apartment-living staple diet? :)

I had honey-roasted pork with corn on the cob, scalloped potatoes, and beets. Now I've got "X-Men" in. I really liked the first movie. The second one disappointed me a bit because they changed some stuff from the original Dark Phoenix saga, though it was still good enough I liked it. I just hope the third one sticks closer to the original.

BTW my brother was just mentioning to me on the phone that a trailer for the new "Batman" is out.

Yeah, I like to eat the same three dishes over and over and over again. It's easy to get the stuff for curry and stir-fry and just alternate that, with maybe the occasional grilled chicken breast for variety. Saves thinking, and cuts shopping time in half.

Batman... yawn... don't think I'll see that. I'm not really that "into" superhero movies, I guess.... Spidey and X-Men, sure, but X-Men's mostly 'cuz of Wolverine. Since I don't know the stories, I don't care how badly they screw things up as long as they make an enjoyable movie...

Was thinkin' about what you said re anime genres... one of the anime they showed at the club yesterday, "Spiral", is more suspense than anything though there's an SF theme, I guess. "Vampire Princess Miyu" is horror; and I've seen a couple short high-school dramas that are just normal. "Kare Kano" is the best example of that though I hate that anime/manga. Or you've got the harem-show, like "Love Hina", that's not realistic but isn't usually fantasy or SF - "Tenchi Muyo" is a harem-show-in-space, so that's different.

Good luck finding the Kenshin-manga. Pick up the first volume of Fruits Basket, too, it'll give you a good idea of the difference between shonen and shoujo, with the best of each genre.
