Ennui and anime

Post title describes my week pretty well.

Yup.

In more interesting news-type...stuff: I can't embed it, but if you want to see -- among other things -- Maisie Williams (aka Arya "Motherfucking" Stark) and Sir Patrick Stewart ("a knight, for god's sake") doing a jump/heel click, then click the following link:

Good stuff.








Well, money has its own way,

And money has to grow.

It grows on human blood and bone,
-- as any child would know.
It's iron stuff
and paper stuff
with no life of its own,
And so it takes its growing sap
from human blood
and bone.

And many a child goes hungering
because the wage is low,
and men die on the battlefield
to make the money
grow.

And those that take the money crop
are avid without end --
they plant it in the tenements
to make it grow again.

The little that they leave for us,
it cannot be a seed.
We spend it on the shoddy clothes,
and every daily need.
We spend it in a minute --
in an hour it is gone,
to find its way, to grow again
On human blood
and bone,

Blood and bone.
