Heh. 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!
                                Sailor Moon

Cheers
