Actually seen Julian in that apron too. Wonder if its somewhere in Jp and
is at a reasonable price. But then already have a nice apron so...
Yang and Fredrica make such a qqq-ute couple. Then noticed that lots of
relationships are coupled in LOGH for some reason. Yang's the only one
detached from it all it seems. I mean theres Reinhard-Seig(of course),
Mittermeyer-Reunttal, Kemp-Mueller, Ivan-Poplin, Merkatz-(that captain
guy. can't seem to single him out on Ritti's list), etc. Interesting
seeing these one on one relationships. Perhaps my favorite one would
probably be Mittermeyer-Reunttal. The Seigfried-Reinhard one is very
appealing too but you get a sense that both would be lost without the
other. Seigfreid seems to have little direction of his own and is
directed by the massive ego that is Reinhard. Yet, Reinhard is very much
dependant on perhaps the constant that is Kircheis. But then having lost
his mother and sister and being betrayed by his father can't really blame
him.
Now Reunttal and Mittermeyer seems to have much more of an equal
relationship. Reminds me very much of the relations seen in lots of John
Woo's films (for those of you who don't know, the HK auteur that showcases
lots of graphic and bloody movies) in that two massive egos, larger than
life, comes together and complements each other. Maybe just too fond of
male bonding but these relations seem to transcend that.... Two comrades
at arms perhaps. A stoic love. Would elaborate more but quite buzzed.
I'm one of the 50% of Asians that has very little alcohol dehydrogenase.
Think Ill retire.
Kir-u-cheis!
Hai, Reinhard-u-sama?!?
Do you think I can seize my Genetics exam on Monday?
Only you can realize that....
