post 356 ~ update
| post 356 ~ a couple of updates, adding to post 355 ;)
 RATING: TO DO LIST – ANIME UPDATES: ++++ Ah! My Goddess (Season 2) – Thru Ep. 5. WOW! ~ Great episode with one of the supporting characters: the big blond “motor club” guy… can he possibly be in love (with a girl)? ;) ++++ My Hime – Thru Ep. 13. WOW! ~ Still incredible… the second half of the 24-episode series is starting to get dark now… jealousy and heartbreaks are intensifying… and the supernatural danger is looming even closer than ever!… reminds me of “kiddy grade”; i love how a series starts cute and sexy and funny, but then gradually shifts to the darker, more mysterious, more serious paths… NOTE: yuki kajiura’s music is the best since “petite cosette”! NETFLIX – ANIME: ++ Please Teacher! – Thru Ep. 4. Not bad so far! ~ Crazy antics which remind me of “chobits”, “midori days”, “dears”, and “ah! my goddess”… ALL of them focus on the regular college or high school guy who meets and is somehow paired up with a beautiful girl or woman, whether she’s a cute android, cute girl-as-right-hand replacement, sexy alien classmate, goddess companion from “heaven”, or in this case, a voluptuous alien school teacher! LOL ;)  |

 Japan drafts laws for robots to live by [ link ] As the specter of a robotic society looms, it’s about time that someone start thinking about some rules to keep things from getting out of control. The Japanese government has apparently been thinking along these lines, according to this LiveScience.com article, which reports that the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry is drafting “safety guidelines for next-generation robots.” [ more ] > Astronauts Test Star Wars Remote On Space Station [ link ]  |

remix 071 ~ there alone
images by “therealone_” :: original post
remixed image & words by “xjaymanx”
a clear moonlit night
a cool breeze and a rustle
up the sharp jagged path
he climbed and wrestledescaping a ragged past
in a torn t-shirt and jeans
to breathe and reflect
on dreams without meaningas he leapt his way up
to his favorite childhood spot
he thought he saw movement
in the shadows and fogquietly he rose
beneath the moon and the stars
along the trees and the lake
his heart beating so hardkicking rock after rock
breaking branch after branch
he peered at the shadows
as they continued their dancesuddenly he froze
at the edge of the clearing
his eyes open wide
his mind spinning without reasonshe caught him with a stare
from his favorite childhood spot
along the trees and the lake
her wings unfurled in the fognervously he grinned
without making a sound
without anything to say
his heart pounding so loudfinally she stood
her smile as soft as a feather
then sprung up and soared
into the infinite heavensand left him reflecting
on dreams within miracles
and breathing and yearning
for clear moonlit angelsa cool breeze and a rustle
waiting there alone
remix 070 ~ little by little
images by “french__kissed” :: no original post
remixed image & words by “xjaymanx”
in solitude she wanders
trapped by the silencecaged by the trees
in her forest of sapphireshe glows like the sun
from silver to goldyet chooses the darkness
to blanket her shouldersshe hugs the pain within
and the emptiness throughoutlike her longtime friends
the rain and the cloudsin moments of weakness
she cries to be freeto let go of the guilt
and the regret and the fearbut all she can do
is break off pieces of her souland little by little
let them carry her hopesto fly high and laugh
like leaves in the sunshineto drift far and rejoice
like butterflies in the moonlight
