I've spent my weekend writingwritingwriting, with long pauses to stare at the screen and ponder what to write next. This isn't necessarily bad, but it has been a little stressful. On the bright side, [livejournal.com profile] helen_keeble sent me a report on the PS2 game Okami that had me in hysterics.

I just got to the first boss fight. This is an encounter with a wandering
Zen poet/musician, whom we first meet artistically perched on the top of a cherry tree with petals streaming over his long white hair. After some dialogue, in which he alternates between haiku-like metaphors and, for no apparent reason, random French endearments, he announces that you must face him in a duel and invites you to prepare yourself for the sight of his legendary weapon...

"Pillow Talk"

His sword is called _Pillow Talk_.

(also, he pulls it out of a six-inch-long bamboo flute, Star Wars lightsabre style, while cherry blossom petals twirl round him in a veritable storm)


There just isn't anything I can really add to this.
