ceruseeAaaaaand, volume 5 continues the fun. The first half, anyway. The second half is back in the present time, which is somewhat less gripping to me than Hakkai's incredibly tragic backstory, but since they took a full volume and a half to explore that, I can hardly complain.
To quote Goku, "Hakkai! Hakkai! Hakkai! Hakkai! Hakkai! Hakkai!" ^_^
When I was following the html road through LJ yesterday, I saw someone trying to convince someone else--velvet_mace, I think--that yes, Saiyuki was the best thing since sliced bread, and she was saying that Saiyuki was total fanservice when it came to bondage and so forth. My feeling is that you could easily whittle that down to "Saiyuki is total fanservice." Despite Gojyo's love of the ladies and Hakkai's sexual and romantic relationship with his older sister, they are about as obviously a couple as they could be without the manga-ka actually showing them in coitus.
In other news, I tried my hand at Eggs Benedict. Anything with Hollandaise sauce, right? ....I think I'll stick to putting it on broccoli (and none of that asparagus shit, now. Asparagus is God's idea of a cute joke). The eggs came out okay, but not really worth it in terms of the effort or the calories. The only way you could make Eggs Benedict any richer would be to serve them on a death-by-chocolate croissant and deep-fry the whole mess in butter. I'm serious.
