Oddness...
Jul. 11th, 2005 09:35 amMeat Can be Grown in a Lab on Industrial Scale. No more killing cows to get a steak, no more chicken-death to satisfy your McNuggets craving. The lack of animal death is good, but... gah. That's just still all sorts of freaky.
Fun timing on finding this link. It's nearly two years to the day since I last ate meat. I suppose I wondered at first if I'd stick to the whole no-meat thing, but now I can't imagine doing anything else. I was watching the Food Network last night (something I rarely do anymore), and they were doing a show on BBQ (which is why I don't hardly watch anymore). The guy said something like "Look how crispy that skin is! And how juicy the meat is!" and man, I couldn't change the channel fast enough. I felt like throwing up, just from the description! Gah, gah, gah. Eating skin! And "meat juice"? Blood! Holy cow, I don't even want to imagine eating skin.
Early on, someone had asked me if I minded that others ate meat at the same table with me, and I had honestly said it didn't bother me. I couldn't honestly say that anymore (but I would lie and say it doesn't bother me -- what I eat is my choice, I don't want my opinions changing what you eat). I suppose I feel the same way about it as meateaters might feel over people eating maggots or crickets or worms or something odd and gross like that...

In other news, I watched 10 eps of Bleach over the weekend! Man, I love that series SOOOO much! I'm liking it more than Fullmetal Alchemist even! Loving the storylines so much! And the characters, too! *drools on all the captain-interactions* I'm still about 6 eps behind the currently subbed one, so I still have lots to watch. :)
Last night something struck me: In Bleach, there's a silver-haired short captain with the same voice actor as Ryoma from Prince of Tennis. I have no problems at all with a VA doing voices in different series -- in fact, I enjoy it! That made me think about The Incredibles, and how the voice acting in it just totally annoyed me. Craig T. Nelson sounded like... Craig T. Nelson in it. I heard him, the actor, in the movie, not a character. That's the difference (or one of them) between US animation and anime...
I need to find a character guide so I can learn the names of who I love, but I especially like the red-haired guy with tattoos on his forehead (mmmmm), and the short silver-haired captain (mmmmmmmm, yummy voice, looks so nice!), and the fox-faced guy is so interesting! (Ha ha, another reason to read the manga, I suppose. You learn the character names much easier!)
Since AnimeOne seems to have stopped subbing Bleach, I switched to Lunar's subs. They do something odd (add accents/slang into the subtitles. Like "I ain't got no reasons ta be doin' that."). So long as that's accurate to the spoken Japanese, I actually sort of like it. (Though it's strange, since the characters spoke "normally" through all the eps I watched by the first subbing group.)
Yay Bleach!
