My insults are usually an odd blend of some patronising title, an expletive and some baked good. Evidently I have something against pastries.
Once Mediafire works a bit better for me I'll try getting you Fukuyama, Kishio, Morikawa and Wakamoto's up. (Schala was kind enough to send me the last two and I have to say that they are...different from the others. Morikawa does play it slow and relaxing but only after the first 100. Wakamoto on the other hand makes it sound as though he's going to eat those sheep...)
Sailor Moon is not something you really can get into at the moment because Toei has been such a bitch with the licence that it's not available online (people will try to upload subs or the dub but it'll be removed so quickly) and the DVDs are selling at ridiculous prices. If you have a decent anime selection at a video store nearby that allows you to rent the DVDs then I'd recommend it but I don't know how easily available it is. (It's crazy hard to find in the UK. I have to buy my DVDs from america.) The dub is notorious for making a lot of extreme changes to make it child friendly (so Zoicite and Fisheye who were both gay got changed into women, Sailor Uranus and Neptune were lesbians and they became 'cousins', the demographic was changed from teens to little kids etc.) but it is actually pretty enjoyable, partially because of how narmy it is. The Japanese original is also really good because the music is beautiful, the voice acting is splendid and it is the starting point for a lot of cliches you find in mahou shojou anime these days. It's one of the few cases where I prefer the anime to the manga because there's a lot more character development (especially for the villains) and even though there's a lot of filler it's really fun.
I don't mind people trying to make meals healthier - it's when they get preachy on what you can and can't have that I draw the line. She goes and snoops around our kitchen and would lecture me for having soda, nutella or twiglets. EXCUSE ME, THIS IS MY HOUSE AND IT IS MY STOMACH AND I WILL POISON IT HOW I LIKE THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I may have to try Quan's approach to gourmand if we go to hers for dinner again - I imagine great feast. I satisfied by that. Grammar not my friend.
