I'm sure by now most Utena fans have heard that Kawakami Tomoko has passed away of ovarian cancer, at the age of 40. I just found out now. I'm in shock. I can't express how much that show--and her role, especially, thanks in no small part to her acting--effected me. Since I'm on limited time with a slow internet connection ($5AU/30 min, bullshit), I won't go into a rant, but: Kawakami-sama, you profoundly effected at least one person on this miserable rock of a planet, and helped shape her into who she is today. Rest in peace. I hope it's a lovely castle in the sky.

Yeah, I'm in Australia, picking up my sister from her study abroad trip. The family is taking a side-trip to Hamilton Island, where I currently am. It's lovely, but there isn't much going on. Everything closes at 8PM. Hopefully I'll have more regular interwebs when I get back to the mainland. I've been doing a lot of reading by the beach. Weather is perfect.
