a joke about tennis in my research, even if it's not remotely funny! ♥

i've been working on this little paper-presentation on riddles and jokes with animals in them for twelve hours, you know, minus eating and walking the dog twice and walking to and from the library (where i also worked on it). but basically, about twelve hours. it's only three pages. i'm so irritated, i feel like one more molecule of homework will make me explode. however, i still have my finnish to do.

we're supposed to have a quiz tomorrow because the teacher had an attack of bitchiness on thursday, claiming that anyone in the class, if they had read the chapter as assigned, should have instantly been able to produce any word or phrase introduced in it in response to its english translation. i'm sorry, teacher, but not one single person in the class can do that, and there are some really dumb people in the class who are way below the curve. (i couldn't do it and i'd read most of the chapter three times and spent like an hour translating it as i read.)

in an effort to make myself capable of focusing on this remaining homework, i uploaded a selection of the awesomest caps from the first half of ryoma and fuji's first tennis match against each other ♥. god, i could watch them playing tennis for a really long time. it's almost as good as ryoma and tezuka--they're like lion cubs or something. playing. with claws. and loving it. and exchanging barbed comments. [lots of hearts deleted here] and the special effects and fuji's glowing magical ballet!tennis moves!

It depends on how it's animated. The one in Fly High is Higuma Otoshi as well; the third counter comes up in ep 63 and is the most gravity-defying of all. I'm sure I remember at least one ep where there was a lot of glowing going on, but it might be later. The fourth counter... only exists in the manga so far; it'll probably show up fairly shortly in the OVAs. Of course, 'fairly shortly' still involves having to wait months, and I am probably completely incoherent here because I have not slept.

oh, see, i thought higuma otoshi had to be made of swirly purple lightning from "duel in the rain" (although i did notice the yellow streaks). but in the fly high credits it's very very yellow. maybe it's like a mood ring!
