Onmyouji ^_^

[sakon76]

Last night I put on Onmyouji while I sewed, as it's a movie I've watched often enough that I don't need to /watch/ it, Japanese dialogue or not. Plus it's so slashy (always a plus). And, darnit, YES, Nomura Mansai's Seimei is half-kitsune! One thing I love about the movie is the body count and my reaction to it: "okay, a ritual purification here... and another one there... and the emperor's not going to be able to approach that entire wing for weeks, I just know it...." ^_^ I think I wouldn't "get" it half as much as I do, though, if I hadn't taken all those Japanese history and Classical Japanese classes while at UCI.

And I've finished sewing down the trim on the outside of the jacket... now I just need to take care of all the trim on the inside. And I've decided that I hate Sulky's rayon thread. But I've gotten two costumes out of this one spool now (Sophia and Fuu) and hopefully will never have to use the stuff again.

I have often wondered why the product's name is Sulky. If Lion yarn came up with a line of "Pissed Off" or "Sullen" I would know not to use it.

As for the onmyouji thing... oh, man, is the lead in that good. And yeah...
"Seimei, could you please hurry up? The emperor's not been able to leave the court room in two weeks, since all the halls have had people dying in them."
