I read Ella Enchanted earlier. 'Twas nice; it has a different kind of charm from the film based on it -- actually, the film doesn't resemble the novel at all. I still can't decide which one I like better, because they're both cute in their own quirky ways. Heh. :D

I've watched up to episode 5 of the taiga drama Shinsengumi!, and heh, I love their casting choices. Katori Shingo as Kondou Isami was a wise move, but I must say I'm really happy that Odagiri Joe played Saitou Hajime!

The thought of a yakuza!Saitou tickles me, considering the fact he ends up a member of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. I don't know how historically accurate that is (all that's known about his life before the Bakumatsu is that he's from a family of gokenin, low-class samurai), but seeing him hustling people for money made me laugh like a loon.

Also, the way Odagiri-san portrayed him in episode 5 gave me an insight to his motives for marrying then leaving behind Shinoda Yaso for Takagi Tokio...which gave rise to a plot bunny. It'll probably never leave my harddrive as I usually hate the things I end up writing, but but but! Oh, the thoughts racing through my head right now! I'm feeling really giddy, hee!
