Sleep... with a side of sleep

Man, been so tired these past few days. I've only been up 8 hours or so and want to sleep some more. Maybe I'll finally even out and start waking up normal hours again. *crosses fingers*

I've also been watching this awesome anime that Clark sent Jon and me (real DVD copies. Cause he got them from work, he works at Media Blasters.) It's called Twelve Kingdoms. It's another take on a popular anime theme, the "person from real life Japan gets thrust into a fantasy world" (think Escaflowne, Fushigi Yuugi, etc.) Except I'd rather compare it to Escaflowne because I actually *liked* that series. :D

And Twelve Kingdoms is also very good. The mythology and even the setting associated with it, have some elements that remind me of why I like Exalted. Probably because it seems strongly inspired by Chinese mythology. As for the eponymous kingdoms, they are each ruled by a king or queen assisted by a holy creature, a kirin. (I love kirin! awww unicorns. *ducks*) The kirin chooses the ruler, and so long as the king/queen rules the land justly, it prospers. Otherwise the kirin grows sick, the crops go bad, people revolt, etc.

Jon and I watched the first arc involving how the Queen of Kei (who was originally from Japan) was crowned. Looking forward to seeing more... after I have some epic sleepz! All I did of note today was RP Ryshy going shopping with Alexsei in DR, edit the document I wrote last post, and watch Twelve Kingdoms. Yet to me, this is an ideal vacation. Who needs the real world? :P

If you like Twelve Kingdoms,

If you like Twelve Kingdoms, there's a series of books for it. I only read the first one so far, but it was really good.
