Kanokon, and some questions to ponder
17 years ago
"I have to ask you the same question people back home are asking about space these days. Is it worth it? Should we just pull back? Forget the whole thing as a bad idea, and take care of our own problems, at home."
First off, a new anime series just started called Kanokon, for those who might be interested. It's an over-the-top-fanservice-y-hilarious anime about a 1st year high school student and a kitsune who wants him, who is also a 2nd year student at the same school. I was rofl through most of it, but if excess pervertedness bugs you, then you may want to stay clear. 1st ep is out fansubbed by Ayako, and there's supposed to be around 12 eps total. The novel series it's based on is supposed to come stateside, but there's no definite street date for them yet.
Second, I was listening to the Crusade opening last night(too bad they never continued the series :/) and so, if anyone wants to take it up, a Crusade-based meme:
1. Who are you?
I am myself, and no other. A fan of Transformers, mecha and Super Robot anime. A listener of rock music, and anison. An engineer, a fan of Sci-Fi and fantasy, a reader, and a gamer. And perhaps, a blue and silver colored foxdragon.
2. What do you want?
A good life. Companionship, friends, something that's not too stressful but can still keep me from being bored. The ability to continue growing my plastic "hoard." A mate, when I find the right lady. And for the world not to continue going to hell in a handbasket.
3. Where are you going?
I really don't know at the moment. Wherever life may take me, I suppose. I'd say I'd follow the wind, but I have obligations that'd keep me from hitting the road and seeing where it leads, so it'll just have to be the metaphorical wind I'll ride.
4. Who do you serve?
In one respect, whomever signs my paychecks. In general: family, friends, people who enjoy my work on things such as the PRC code, and of course myself as well. Anyone I give my word to on something, I try and keep it.
5. Who do you trust?
Family, friends, people who've shown they're good people and I've gotten to know. It also depends on what it is I'm trusting them with, of course.
I'm not gonna tag anyone or anything, I'm more just throwing it out there if anyone else wants to continue it with their own answers. Even if you don't answer them, just thinking about the questions can sometimes bring surprising results, and may help you come to know yourself better.

"No. We have to stay here. And there's a simple reason why. Ask ten different scientists about the environment, population control, genetics, and you'll get ten different answers, but there's one thing every scientist on the planet agrees on. Whether it happens in a hundred years or a thousand years or a million years, eventually our Sun will grow cold and go out. When that happens, it won't just take us. It'll take Marilyn Monroe, and Lao-Tzu, and Einstein, and Morobuto, and Buddy Holly, and Aristophanes, and - all of this - all of this - was for nothing. Unless we go to the stars."
