Sushi, Sake, and Tanuki: Shinto 2

Meditation was something I wasn't good at. I really didn't care if I was good at it or not. But now I needed my mind to rest to think of how I could get Yomosa here. Seduction was something I could use. Humans were stupid and easy to lure. It was a shame, then, that I wasn't created an incubus.


Of course, life had made me want to become an incubus. Not my nature. Or at least Jirou told me. I didn't believe that shit. What I believed was seduction could open all kind of doors with humans. If Hijunaki wanted Yomosa, it meant that she was a looker.


As I hissed with the anger that I couldn't ever touch her, Jirou came in. There was a fear in his eyes. Like the kind when we found Yamaka dead.


"What is it?" I asked.


"Yomosa is going to be married soon." He replied.


"How long until that happens?" I asked.


"A week. Two weeks at most." He paused. "So your seduction tactic is useless? Let me feign shock."


"Just because that tactic is useless doesn't mean I don't have another plan." I said and smirked.


"Ruin a perfectly good wedding?" Jirou asked. Though it sounded like a statement more than a question.


"Of course."


"Hijunaki won't be happy."


"Now he won't have a choice."


When we told Hijunaki he didn't like my idea.


"You can be there before the wedding day, Rig." He argued.


"But not without drawing attention to ourselves."


"You will draw even more attention to yourselves." Hijunaki sighed. "But, as this is your first real mission in a long time, I will agree to it. You deserve to delve into your baser nature, as long as the mission is completed successfully. Besides, Jirou is the only one to be able to control you."


Jirou and I bowed. Then left on our mission.

American Gods (Neil Gaiman)

Title: American Gods

Author: Neil Gaiman

Released: 2001

Rating: 5/5

Basic Plot: Shadow, after getting out of jail, is hired by a mysterious man called Wednesday. Without him fully knowing why, Shadow is pulled into a war between the Old and New Gods.

The Gods
Wednesday is the second god Shadow first encounters. Lowkey Lyesmith is the first one Shadow encounters. Part of the fun of this book is figuring out which gods you're meeting. There are also New Gods but, as they aren't ones you find in mythology, can't be guessed. The most interesting things about gods in this novel is the fact that a god lives and dies by who believes in him or her. It's a good, yet hard to understand at times, plot point.

Shadow's Importance
Shadow is shown to be an important character. Why that is isn't fully revealed until the end. So, throughout the novel you're thinking that Shadow's importance is just because he's the main character. But it's shown that he's the son of a god/goddess who is using him in a quest for power.

The Random Flashbacks
The majority of flashbacks (that aren't related to Shadow) don't make a lot of sense. But, luckily enough, they don't take up too much time. Plus, they are interesting. There's only one flashback that seems to mean anything. And that is Hinzelman's flashback.

Final Thoughts
This is an amazing book. Those who like mythology NEED to read this book. This is a good modern telling of different mythological figures. But what if you don't like reading? HBO is going to be making a series of American Gods. And for those of you that finish American Gods and want it to continue without writing fanfiction? There is a sequel planned for this book! Thank you to everyone who recommended this book to me!

Glimniss (The Good Left Undone)

Series: The Hunger Games

Pairing: Katniss Everdeen and Glimmer

Pairing Type: Femslash

Pairing: Non-Canon (to the max!)

Plot: Katniss Everdeen is forever changed by the Tribute from District 1 (Glimmer). Katniss, after winning the 74th Hunger Games, always remembers Glimmer fondly. However, she feels guilty about loving a Career Tribute.


I made up the title for this pairing. As far as I know I'm one of the few (if only) shipper of this pairing.

Hermain Cain (Rabbit Ad)

Many ads are amusing. Many ads don't make any fucking sense. But only some get the honor to get to the top of that list.

The ad I am talking about today is a new Herman Cain ad. This ad (like his Fish Ad) is amazing for all the wrong reasons!

As you know, Herman Cain dropped out of the race but still makes ads. These ads he is making show the Sequel to the Egg PSA to be intelligent.

Don't believe me? See for yourself:
