05/02/2003 Entry: "Research...it's all research...."

So I spent most of this week researching motor boats and Japanese shrubbery for the current Weiss Thing. Mainly motor boats, since I'd written a bit with Weiss and Schwarz on a boat and then needed to figure out if there *was* a sort of boat with the layout I'd used and if Crawford could indeed pilot it from the uppermost part, which he can and which I have now learned is called a flybridge. Shanti says I might be putting in too much effort for a series that features an empty jumbo charter jet basically flying itself, various kinds of bad evil science, and Ken changing from mini-skirt to his working clothes in basically the time it takes to pull off a wig, but hey. It's fun. ^^ I also finished rewatching the last couple of episodes of WK season one, and had the most delightful time alternately loving and heckling it. (Schuldig: "What are you so worried about? We don't even have any weapons." N-chan: "Who needs weapons when we've got Farfarello's tongue?" Tongue: "Blaaaaaargh!!") I hadn't remembered that Youji actually refers to Omi "Omi-chan" at one point. And dear god, the OmiKen. *hearts-n-sparklies* I really will finish and release one of these OmiKen fics one of these days. But not this weekend, since tonight I'm going over to Shanti and Loop's to watch anime and be happily unproductive. I want to slore Loop on Wolf's Rain, which he'll probably either love or scorn, and also see if he'll continue to sit through Fruits Basket. And Shanti wants to see the Worst Death Ever in WK1 again, so I have to show her that and also the outtakes.

See, it all comes back to Weiss.... Sei-chan's going to take out a contract on them, if I'm not careful.
