Thank GOD! I hated this. I watched it just for the Kaon/Himiko, but that was at least worth it.
Here's my take on anime: I watch it for yuri. However, since I know yuri is in the background, I'm perfectly fine with the standard couples that are the main characters. It was like that with Mai-HiME and Utena and a lot of shows.
Kyoshiro and Kuu had to have been the worst most boring characters EVER. I couldn't stand them as a couple.
Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora is the sequel to Kannazuki no Miko in the same respect that Mai-Otome is the sequel to Mai-HiME. It's AU with the same characters, but new characters take the main places and the ones we know and love get placed behind.
I loved KnM. It was great besides all the mecha crap. My reaction was the complete opposite for KyoSora. It was horrible besides all the mecha crap. I mean - really - how much stupider can something get?
Watch KnM. Don't even bother with KyoSora.

Earbuds that RAWK!
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7478883&type=product&productCategoryId=cat08352&id=1125466441986
All right, here's my problem with earbuds: I wreck them. Often. So, I had to go out any buy a new pair last week. I went to Best Buy and purchased these on a whim. Never have I been so satisfied with a purchase before!
These earbuds have a jelly like plastic case around the speaker, so they're comfortable in your ears without the mesh cloth thing that usually surrounds the speaker. It has a vent like hole on each earbud that, when you cover it, lowers the quality (so you know the quality normally really rocks). It's so cute in the blud colour! And, um, it's cheap. Really cheap.
It comes in 3 colours: blue, green, and pink, and all three are adorable and work great! Totally worth $10 for these!
And on another note, Happy Pi Day!

Non anime - L Word - Season 1 2 3 4!
What can I say about the L Word?
Lots.
Really, I never really thought any lesbian TV show would be any good. I mean, even South of Nowhere is pretty pitiful in that aspect. When I first heard about The L Word, I kept thinking "I'm too young to watch this" and "All the characters are like 30."
First of all, I'm not THAT young. Second of all, there are characters in their 20s. So there.
But that doesn't matter. What matters is that The L Word has got to be the greatest non-anime TV show for lesbians in existance. And most people will agree with me.
For those of you straight people and those of you gay people under a rock, The L Word is a weekly hour-long drama on Showtime. It airs Sunday at 10PM EST. It has aired for four seasons and has three episodes left (including tonight's). The cast has gone through many changes, but this season has 11ish main characters, an increase from 8ish in season one.
The story takes place in LA (even though it's filmed in Canada) in a very very gay side of town. I'll try not to post spoilers here. The story starts out when Jenny moves in with her boyfriend Tim from someplace in the midwest. Next door is long-time lesbian couple Bette and Tina who are trying to have a baby. They are friends with Alice, who is creating a social network called "The Chart" that shows how everyone is connected romantically, Dana, who is a closeted tennis player without any gaydar (tho she is called the gayest of the whole group), and Shane, who comes from a bad past filled with sex and drugs and is trying to change her ways despite her lack of abiltiy to commit for more than a few hours.
The whole thing is very dramatic. Jenny becomes the most hated character, Alice and Dana the most lovable, and the whole thing rocks.
There are a bunch of great podcasts for recaps, and AfterEllen.com has great, funny, sarcastic-ish recaps that make me smile. A lot.
The L Word = AWESOME!

Stellvia of the Universe! - Yuri? Not quite.
It looks like Simoun-fans only have 1 episode left to fansub. That reminds me that I need to finish getting both it and Stellvia on DVDs. But since I've already reviewed Simoun, let's chat a bit about Stellvia.
I watched Stellvia when I was sick in bed missing a music festival on a weekend. After watching Stellvia, I watched Ikkitousen. But that's not the point. The point is, Stellvia, while it may not be very yuri, is well worth watching.
The whole thing was amazingly technological. While you weren't bombarded with terms and visual representations of concepts like you may otherwise be in a Space Academy, it was all very, well, realistic, or as realistic as a futuristic anime goes.
Following Shima Katase on her journey to become a space pilot was very rewarding. She goes from genious everywhere except in one area to genious in all aspects - and you see a very good transition.
The yuri in this anime is Yayoi/Ayaka (I think). Their relationship (or whatever it is) is very deep with a dark and haunting past. I actually would not of thought of it as yuri if not for already reading a yurified review on it.
That's all I will say. Everyone should see this one, especially people that don't like yuri.
