wuxia

I know I've said before that I want this and this but I'll say it again.

I have no idea who currently has my Shen Diao Xia Lu VCDs, but I'd like them back. ;_; I need my Yang Guo/Xiao Long Nu fix really badly. @_@

Of course, I could wait until I go to Beijing to buy them, but you know, there's the conflict of immediate gratification over patience. And I know I don't have my priorities straight.

While I'm in China I'm going to have to remind myself to get Xiao Ao Jiang Hu, the old 80's version of Tian Long Ba Bu, and of course She Diao Ying Xiong Zhuan and Yi Tian Tu Long Ji. And pick up whatever old Chu Liu Xiang I can find.

I'm old school, what can I say? I especially miss the later Chu Liu Xiang Chuan Ci, like Ying Zi, Lan Hua, and Ying Wu Chuan Ci. :/ They don't have those on VCD and that makes me very sad. ._. They were better than the original TV series, I think. :3 Especially the theme music, which I still to this day cannot find on mp3 anywhere at all. -_-;; *despair*

I have this gut feeling that before I head off to grad school, I'm going to go home and make sure all the old wu-xia tapes my family recorded in crapass SLP mode make to my apartment. :3 Damn, now I want to go home this summer because everytime I go home I go on a week-long wuxia binge. If only we had the first volume of Tian Long Ba Bu! I'd so be there watching it! ;_;

I am such an wu xia whore. XD They are my fondest memories of when I was a child. :3 Oh, the nostalgia. I am so buying a sword in China and shipping it back to the United States. Nobody's stopping me. XD Mom didn't let me buy one last time because I was 12 years old, now I'm 21 and I'm buying myself a sword, dammit! >) And I'm going to name it something cool like...
uhh...
uhh...
Oh crap, I don't know any cool Chinese sword names.
Curses.
Yi Tian Jian...yeah, that's it. ¬_¬ Umm....
yeah.

EDIT: Next on cosplay list, as much as I don't think this will ever, ever happen. Ren Ying Ying from the 2000 remake of Xiao Ao Jiang Hu or the Carmen Lee version of Xiao Long Nu. :3 It'll break my crossplay streak but hey... >_> I am willing to break my crossplay streak for cool wuxia chicks.

No wuxia withdrawl here, no siree.
