The health updates are getting boring, so in short: still sick, getting better, stuck at home, bored out of my mind.
Now that that's out of the way, fandom news! I started a Cowboy Bebop marathon the other night: that was my first anime (I've seen episodes of other anime during my childhood, sure, but Cowboy Bebop was the first one that I actually tuned in to watch, that I religiously followed), and still my favourite. Let's take a trip down memory lane! It was February 2002, and two months prior I had had some very serious, very painful back surgery. I was stuck in bed for four months. I could slowly move from the bed to the bathroom, and then to the couch, but it took me hours, and it was very debilitating. Needless to say, it was really boring. At 6pm everyday Mom would pop out to go to church, and in one of those occasions, while flipping the channels on the tv, I happened on a anime episode, where one of the main characters was talking of having a prophetic dream with Charlie Parker. My parents loved jazz music and I grew up on it, so I got intrigued. It was the third episode, Honky Tonk Women. Two days later, with Ballad of Fallen Angels, I fell deeply, crazily in love with the show.
I've listened to the soundtrack millions of times since, but it's been years since my last marathon. Needless to say, it's fantastic. I'm rediscovering it completely, with the eyes of an adult, and at the same time falling head over heels in love with it all over again. Plus now I get even more references than before (especially since I watched almost all John Woo movies since then).
In other news, I'm very angry and disappointed with Person of Interest. I'm not going to rant here, because I've already done it on several other journals and on tumblr, but even after such a poorly written first half of the season I still wasn't expecting them to pull the worst trope in the book. I might even consider dropping the show if it doesn't pick up in the next couple of episodes, that's how angry I am.
So, I decided to turn to the classics to feel better, and started watching Twin Peaks. I just finished the pilot (I timed it so that it would end in time for my second aerosol of the day), and was really intrigued. It's weird because I already knew the theme song, I recognized how much it has been quoted ever since, and yet it's my first time ever watching it. Yep, I have no idea who killed Laura Palmer. It's great. :D

Alcune sue cose le ho tradotte anche in italiano, le trovi qui:

E poi, scherzi a parte, fatti davvero un giretto sulla sezione EFP di Cowboy Bebop perché ne vale proprio la pena, ci sono delle storie sulle quali ho lasciato il cuore <3
