When something, like computer, for example, gets too slow or stuck, you say 'This ... is slow', and hum the 'This Elevator Is Slow' melody. When you call your burrito at the Mexican restaurant 'a bunch of burros' ('for eternity'). When you are *sti...  [Read More]

I was thinking about Grim Reapers specifically; as I understand it, in English-speaking world both those black guys and Death they represent are mainly regarded as men, so to speak. Yet in Russian Death is 'she', and more an 'old woman with a scythe'...  [Read More]

Well, as for Eva's and others' crimes, I suppose you know that theory about DOD not being the only place for a sinner to work of his or her time. But I've wondered whether a Reaper is a profession solely for men or there are women Reapers as well; I...  [Read More]

First of all, in my opinion Don Copal (besides, what does 'Don' mean? Is it a name or a title?) was nothing like the Head of the DOD, he was just the head of some part of it. Like, maybe, some 'high-ranked' Reapers who dealed with better souls, start...  [Read More]

When I need a bit more of GF-reminiscent music, I listen to Frida's soundtrack, it's beautiful. Jazz doesn't remind me of GF because for me it's sort of 'some souls favour it', but definitely not the music of the LotD itself. Swing will always remin...  [Read More]

El Virus I'm not a big time celebrator either, It's just a new year for crisake. I don't think New Year is a 'just'; I'd love to celebrate it properly. It's the lack of the right people, right places and that supposed christmas-spirit that makes cele...  [Read More]

VampireNaomi the obstacles you mentioned, Charie, can be overcome. Well, thank you for believing in our chance. Besides, today I've actually left house, made a bit new haircut (I don't have anybody to show it but the mirror, though), and with a touch...  [Read More]

El Virus To answer 'a bit concisely' is not a bad thing among all these conversational giants. However, conciseness is not my talent's sister. If you don't mind, how come you had to leave it? I don't mind (though I wonder whether that's a good sign...  [Read More]

This comes as an answer to everyting above exept the last El Virus's post. Shaitan, I'm slow. VampireNaomi Not really. I had been suspecting [Snape] for quite a while. Since I haven't read the book I can't really say anything on the matter, but when...  [Read More]
