Otaku instincts

Today (and yesterday), I saw THE transitional episodes of Rurouni Kenshin (Samurai X) in which Saito reappears to finish off old business with Kenshin with a duel which is awe-too visually enticing. Now, why would I suddenly be talking about an anime which is so old? Perhaps it was subtle, perhaps it was not, but I noticed a change in direction of the series. The normally monotonous atmosphere has now been carved into that of artistic refinement... Everything is perfect... down to the minute details (oh did I mention it was all completely hand drawn?)
The tiny lizard stoning on the stone (huh huh) before Amakatsu's ambush on Kenshin, the deliberate sphering of Saito's third person view into the vulnerable Kamiya dojo with Kenshin's absence... oh the beauty.
Of course, the pinacle of today's episode was truly the duel between Saito and Kenshin. With the setting of the evening sun, only the blueness of the night, the purple of blood and the silver gleam of the blades are shown...*drool*


ANYWAY.... in case you think that I am an anime geek... which i am not and that you should have no reasons to think so... cause I am not. yeah.... umm.. I was ... critically analysing it at a professional level. yeah.

it good.

Due to the dark rainy evening, I accidentally lost my way home and stumbled into a Mcdonald. With heavenly lights and cosmic glows, the sign proclaiming the advent of "PRAWN WRAPPERS" hovered in front of me. so I bought it.

*cooking master boy voice*

" hmm, the external dough wrappings of the prawns were sufficiently thick and fried to golden perfection. Yet the dough was carefully folded into seperate layers and maintained their delicate separation from the main body as well as from each other even during the process of frying. This is truly a remarkable recreation of the prawn's interlinked and many layered shell. *ocean waves roar*
Mmm.... the interior main body of the prawn is amazingly kept intact and firm after the intense frying. The gaps in between the exterior layer has allowed the heat from the frying oil to cook the prawn while the oil is absorbed and blocked by it. As a result, the prawn is "wrapped in heat" and baked to perfection. Like a real live prawn, the main body remains firm and cohesive under the hard shell. This truy lives up to the name of 'prawn wrappers'! *dragon flies out in the background*
However, the chef has forgetten the double absorption effect of the dough, while it took in the excess oil to protect the prawn, it has also sucked out the fluids and moisture from the prawn... the texture of the sea has been lost!!!!"


In other words: It's ok lah, but I prefer fries.
