In Japanese folklore, kitsunes are believed to possess great intelligence, long life, and magical powers. Foremost among these is the ability to shapeshift into human form; a fox is said to learn to do this when it attains a certain age (usually a hundred years, though some tales say fifty). Kitsune usually appear in the shape of a beautiful woman, a young girl, or an old man, but almost never an elderly woman. Supernatural powers commonly attributed to the kitsune include, in addition to shapeshifting, the ability to generate fire or lightning from their tails or to breathe fire (known as kitsune-bi, literally "foxfire"), the power to manifest in dreams, the power to fly, and the ability to create illusions so elaborate as to be almost indistinguishable from reality. Some tales go further still, speaking of kitsune with the ability to bend time and space, to drive people mad, or to take such nonhuman and fantastic shapes as a tree of incredible height or a second moon in the sky. And that's just what I do every day. You should see what I do in my spare time....

Well, it's official. I've been "Desperately" sucked in...to Desperate Housewives that is. I don't want much tv and I tend to avoid shows that get a lot of water cooler buzz because in generaly, my tastes differ quite a bit from the average American public. So blame it on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition , a show that I do like. It's good to sit down once a week and see something *gasp* positive on television. About a month ago, I did flip the tv off immediately after the show was over, but left it on while I meant to do other things. Ten minutes later, I was still sitting on my butt glued to the show. I've watched every week since then. True, the show hasn't made it into my TiVo for automatic series recording, but more often than not I record it, watch it, and watch again the next day. Such a twisted show, but so highly amusing. Doesn't require a lot of thought and I don't have to change the channel. So... really all I have to say is... Nora is such a conniving bitch.
