Hello, everyone!

You have reached the rambling, the fangirling, and the general chill-pad of theOtaku's NightBeck, a.k.a Becky, a.k.a Crimson Lotus the Irish Ninja.

... okay, maybe not the last one. But people will be calling me that one day.

This is your place to chill, talk about life and fandom, and be generally crazy. So go on. Play nice, be good to each other, don't make me hurt you.

My favorite series: Princess Tutu, Ookiku Furikabutte, Mushishi, xxxHOLiC, Monster, Black Lagoon, Ergo Proxy, Escaflowne, and Baccano!

My writing: Cafe Cliche

Christmas cards?

ANYONE WANT CHRISTMAS CARDS?

Good! Just send your address to me via PM, and I'll see to it that you get Christmas love from me. :D

Still totally busy, but it should calm down soon!

I love China...

... more specifically, I love some of the crazy music that comes from it. ♥ I shall share a bit with you.

Cao Cao, by JJ Lin. It's a rock song. About Cao Cao from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. And it's sinfully catchy, dammit. The music video has the lyric translations, which are kind of hilarious and kind of awesome all at the same time.

A version of the Coldplay song "Clocks," played on traditional Chinese instruments. It's a ROCK ERHU, people. Download it now.

It's still wicked early, but I should probably go to bed, seeing as I have to be up at 6:00 tomorrow to get to the airport. When I get online next, I'll be in (hopefully) sunny Florida!

O-Okay, week. You've proved your point. I give! I'm your bitch. So can we acknowledge my defeat and skip to Thanksgiving break now?

PLEASE TELL ME ABOUT SOMETHING GOOD IN YOUR LIFE, GUYS.

In unrelated news, this video nearly makes it all better:

I can say it no simpler than this:

Congratulations, President Obama. <3

If California and Prop 8 are any indication, we still have a long, long way to go. You guys ready?

Message to fellow judges!

Hey guys! I'll be home tonight around 10-11pm EST, so that's when I'll be getting into the chat. Feel free to start the deliberations without me!
