It always amuses me whenever I see people complain about manga adaptations of Star Wars stories as part of the reason why the original trilogy even exists is because George Lucas visited Japan and saw their samurai epics and really liked them, but wondered why America didn't have an equivalent to that. So he came up with the idea for Star Wars and I think that influence shows even in the prequel trilogy. Heck I'd even go so far as to say even the newer trilogy despite not being made by George Lucas himself has some very anime-ish ties to it

Yeah, a big part of Star Wars was the idea of westerns and Ronin storiesThe Jedi are partially based on Samurai but the relation to European knights and monks is a bit more obvious.
You can tell by their Jedi code; it reminds me of the samurai codes they lived their lives by
You know..mI don't think the movies ever elaborate on the code. The expanded universe does but I don't know how close to Bushido it really is.
Well from what I'm reading it seems the basic codes for Bushido are righteousness, heroic courage, compassion and benevolence, respect, honesty, honor, duty and loyalty, and self-control, as well as respecting those around you, being wise, and respecting your elders

They're doing super loud construction next door and I hate it. How can my mom even sleep through this?
The Ultimate Sleeper
Except when someone opens a soda apparently
Construction crews: I sleepSoda opening: Real ***t
Pretty much, I think I even made that joke in here a few days ago
I've played way too much RCT2; I started listening to the soundtrack and I'm not even looking at the names yet the instant a song starts playing I readily recognize it by name
Oh my gosh what are they even doing next door?! It sounds like a jet plane is taking off
Roller Coaster Tycoon 2
I put on some electroswing mixes thinking it'd help me focus
Mom asked me what 'dtf' meant this morning lol
What dues it mean? :p
down-to-f**k
So anyway last night some guy high on meth tried to get into our house
'It's just like the 1920's here again in Berlin!' wAIT-
Mom thinks it’s funny how her favourite era of Disney is the Renaissance and mine is the Revival lol
Because Mom was eleven in 1989 when The Little Mermaid came out, starting the era, and twenty-two in 1999 when Tarzan came out, ending the era, while I was eleven in 2009 when The Princess and the Frog came out, starting that era, and twenty-two in 2019 when Frozen 2 came out, ending the era lol
OhhI mean Frozen 2 just came out so maybe it's not quite time to talk about end of an era, especially since it's thje most recent(?) animated Disney movie?
But what do I know :P
It might still be the end of an era, might not be, who knows, though the majority of Disney ones usually only last for a decade give or take
I was surprised when Mom said she really likes the song Bad Guy because she doesn't really like a lot of modern music but I guess I shouldn't be too surprised either since it sounds like something she'd really like lol
I actually like that tooand this cover of it I've heard.
I never would've heard it if not for the radio though
Mom's heard it from AMVs apparently
Ugh I have to go to the store today but I don't really want to, it's really cold and it's going to start snowing around the time I have to be out. But I don't have anything here to eat, if I want dinner I'm going to have to go. But I'm afraid of it getting super cold while I'm out in it and not being able to do anything
Why do YOU have to go to the store??
Because it's my food Well technically if I go I have to get some other stuff for Mom, but the understanding is that it's mainly for me that I'm going
And she can't go and get stuff because-?
No gas in the car but she likely still wouldn't go anyway
It’s 31 with a wind chill of 21
YeeshShe'd give you money but not go herself? Seems like it'd be faster and safer that way
I’ve walked in temperatures far colder than that honestly. It’s more the snow I’m concerned about I said the car has no gas in it
Still...then how.isnshe supposed to go anywhere??
She doesn’t until she gets more money to fill it up
But how will she get to where she needs to go to fill it? or will someone come to you guys?
I told Mom I felt awkward on the bus ride home because the driver asked if anyone had transfers because we were running late and everyone said they did but me and literally everyone got off except for me lol And then we laughed about how everyone had a transfer for 3E but one guy had a transfer for 4W
I mean there's enough for her to go fill it just not enough to make it to like the store and back

I also went to Antique Mall earlier to see what new things they got and they have this huge area set up near the front where people in town can send in their own antiques and set their prices and tell about the antique’s history if they want to. There’s always interesting stuff there but today I saw a set of real jade earrings the seller said were from the Qing Dynasty in China and that their mother received the earrings as a present from their father back in 1942 when she lived in China. I really wanted those earrings, not to wear but just to own because how many people can genuinely say they own a pair of earrings dating back to the Qing Dynasty?
That's awesome!!*Wants your antique mall*
Once they had a huge selection of necklaces made entirely from amber that washed up on the shores from the Baltic Sea
