I know evolutionary psychologists aren't everyone's cup of tea--there are some major jackasses out there, but I've had a huge crush on one for over a decade. Steven Pinker tells us why violence against men, women, children, and animals is going down in this Edge essay and interview---
Murder, rape, torture – a typical day during the Middle Ages. The world today, by comparison, is Edenic. Has human nature changed? Steven Pinker explains the humanitarian revolution... more»
Also, Penguindrum--COULD YOU BE A CRAZIER, LOVELIER ANIME? Holy Mother of Penguins! Today's episode! My sexy librarian is back--this time with EVIL LOOKING BLACK BUNNIES, OHNOES. Oh sex and bunnies and cabbage rolls of reconciliation, I love this show--thank you Sea and Andrew for turning me onto it!

I WILL LOVE HIM MORE IF HE'S A DOUCHBAG. He tried to kiss a 14 year old girl in the library there so already haha, I know he's not exactly a good guy--even if he's from another dimension.
Bride of fate indeed. I'm up for it. Bring it on, Library man with the pink hair!

One of these days I *will* redo my LJ layout to be one of those gorgeous end stills from the end of the ep. I adored this week's.

I swear I have to watch some episodes three times just to understand what the simple stuff is that is going on.
Some episodes are plain wtf hilarious and others are OMG WTF SCARY.
It is gorgeous, isn't it? I need an icon.
Funny how in Madoka, it was the witch world that was so gorgeous but in this anime the everyday life is beautiful--the rooms are full of details, the kitchen, the bedrooms. When the penguinhat comes on and the other world happens it's LOL AND ROCK AND ROLL and not beautiful.
The ED is what haunts me about the Greek fates. I love the girls playing instruments and getting ready for a performance.

But yes, I thought being a Utena pro would prepare me for the ride, but the man's had 10 years to perfect his mindaltering story-telling and I'm just thrown.
I'll have to give it a full rewatch in a marathon once it's all over. I know I should be scared of her, but I love Ringo and just her warped way of thinking.

My mind is filled with Shouma's not-so-innocuous fable; overlapping images of sheep fighting the Hesperides over their golden apples under a world tree with skulking black treacherous bunnies in the background, are threatening to rob me of my sleep. Maybe I need some Chamomile tea to calm down.
This episode, this damn episode. I CANT.

Mind. Blown.
I'll be on MSN later this weekend once my head gets together. I have religious school stuffs and holiday things to do and I need to recover from drinking and cooking and I need to watch the ep one more time then I can talk about it with you.
Still haven't read the blogs to see what people are saying, just Tumblr where people are going MIND FULL OF FUCK so I need some cohesive smart speculation.
Trying to figure out where this is going is just one joy of the show though--this week's ep was really pretty. Those black rabbits with their noses in the air. The funeral. Tabuki and the black bird motif--why why why the bird?
