Wasn't I speaking about (hobbies that serve as) drains for surplus intellectual power recently? It needn't be hobbies, obviously... I was quite ready to snicker over two old men discussing what would logically happen next in a totally illogical fairy-tale for pre-adolescent girls, but then I had a flashback. I won't laugh over you, I'll give you the opportunity to laugh over me. Do you know "Sailor Moon"? A japanese anime for schoolgirls, featuring a (clumsy) schoolgirl that fights demons and other forces of evil (or rather starts a fight and than waits for the macho tuxedo mask, her boyfriend, to get her out of the mess)? It had only one plot, it was overloaded with girlish kitsch - pink, hearts, love and cuteness everywhere. It gave me a peculiar kick a while ago, and I hardly missed one. I guess it's the morbid appeal of the naive - I even went to a "moonies" chatroom to discuss Sailor Moon with girlies in their early teens. I guess that once in a while you get tired by being yourself, the chain-mail suit of the person you are becomes too heavy and restricts your breath, so you try to take it off for a couple of relieving moments and escape into some fantasy world. You two at least aren't worse off with Buffy than I was with Sailor Moon. So enjoy. I SHALL PUNISH YOU ON BEHALF OF THE MOON! MOON TIARA MAGIC!
