in the shell

speaking of dolls... aren't geishas then women who undergo a tranformation of becoming a doll? which came first, the doll or the desire to make one when the original copied failed to meet the need? i believe the need is control speaking of dogs... since gabriel was a representation of a man's false ...

well, batou and togusa discuss looking into mirrors,
so what does an android perceive when it looks in the mirror?
especially a sexaroid having a dubbed-ghost...

i'm really looking forward to this....
solid-state...isn't that related to superconductors
and such? anyone educated in this area?

interesting to know they got the title from an album title,
replacing survivor with society.

welcome! all the post-crash newcomers!
i like the fresh discussions going on.
i glad i've decided to hang through the dry months.

however, the solitary posters of spam
need not return....

i took japanese back in high school. i've forgotten much of it, but i still know all the hirigana, some katakana, and pieces of kanji. unlike english, japanese has little exceptions to the rule--if they exist at all. i still have all my texts (from U. of Hawaii) and hope to make the time to pick it ...

i don't think i would....
i'm not sure if I'd want

someone from deviantart
to do some up.

she had some real issues, didn't she?

i loved Paranoia Agent

...it's better than Law & Order....
seriously, I like S.A.C. because it non-formulaic,
well-written, and cutting-edge.

Jean-Luc it is.
got the x-box, plugged in the game.
it rocks.
now i just ned to plunk some
extra quarters for an HD plasma,
for the best results.

holy posts! and this isn't even the philosophy section! i think the ending was supposed to be unsettling , neither happy nor sad. one would expect a happy ending, but motoko leaves again, the rescued girl rubs batou the wrong way, and we end with the dilemma of dolls and dogs--the real mystery was n...

if i'm not mistaken, and i won't be offended if someone knows different, but i believe the age of consent in japan is thirteen.

"eet'sa mea, mario!"
loved Mario64. Mario 3 comes in a close second.
(one who loves the racoon & tanooki suits).

I pre-ordered mine way back in november and finally got it the other day. i'm still waiting for my xbox360 though...my console is suppose to get here next friday....so for the moment, all i can do is look at the game.
