moonwiseOverall, the weekend was pretty boring, except for a visit with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fadingembers and a visit with Matt and Tracy on Sunday. But Sunday was a happy day, because I went with Tracy to her stable so she could exercise her horse Melanie. While there, I met a kitty!
It was a very nice kitty, grey and a little bit orange with big green eyes. I knelt down to scratch her head, and she hopped up into my lap.
Then we sat together for a WHOLE HOUR. This kitty was also very much okay with being carried around, and once I had her back end supported, she was happy to lie with her head and paws in the crook of my elbow.
WANT A KITTY WANT WANT WANT!
Okay, so what else.
I watched a bunch of Fruits Basket.
After NTHT, anything would seem fluffy, but FB is fluffier than most. My major complaint with the series is that it's very predictable and nothing new in terms of characterization. Tohru is the typical Japanese heroine, self-effacing and continually concerned more about other people than herself. While this is an admirable trait, the Typical Shoujo Heroine (tm) tends to carry this quality to a fault. (I think "Never give up!" is also Sora Naegino's motto in Kaleido Star. -_-)
That having been said, the characters surrounding Tohru are interesting enough to lend some of their color to her. Yuki's something of a cliche, and so is Hatori, but Kyo is worth the watch the way he bristles like a cat. It's fun the way that the different characters reflect their animals, and it probably would be more fun if I understood the character traits associated with each animal of the Zodiac (passing familiar with the Rabbit because I am one, but that's it.)
And, the slash potential can't get a lot higher. Hatori and Akito, just in ep. 8? Dayamn. Add that to a houseful of boys who can't be hugged by women, and you have a ton of frustration. I'd prefer to stay away from anything involving the kiddies under 17-18 (the idea of any yaoi involving Naruto makes me shudder) but there seems to be a lot of room for inventiveness. And Shigure's a perv who writes pr0n anyway and likes high school girls. Het is more of an issue, but I could see getting creative with that... (not that it's a plotbunny, mind you.)
I'm sure that somehow Tohru will be a key to lifting a curse, because that's her role, but I was still absurdly pleased when she got to go back to the house. The boys need someone to feed them!
