Athena and I are both still constantly fighting not to fall asleep, but we can't tell if that's from jet lag, or just our regular state of affairs. We have been expending a lot of energy. But anyway, it's time to continue the record of our trip!

Today was full of good stuff! We took the day off, so that was probably part of it. And we got to sleep in a little bit. And then we went to the temple! We hadn't been to the temple since, like, February of 2020! I mean, they all closed soon after that, but I think our temple has been open for months now. And we finally went today! And it ( Read more... )

We just watched the Frozer episode of Miraculous again today and oh man, it's so good. There was one part of it that always bugged me just a little bit, but today we made a connection to another episode and now it all makes sense and I'm much happier about everything. ...Maybe I need to not let a TV show control me so much. ...I don't...think...

This morning we discovered a pile of stuff on the floor that had previously been on top of a bookcase. We figure it got there because our "prisoner" is trying to escape. Our best guess is that she hopped up on the windowsill hoping to get outside, but since the window has a screen, the attempt failed, and she figured she might as well keep ( Read more... )

Well, we got a flashlight today and discovered that the stray cat has taken up residence under our couch. At this point we figure she's going to stay there as long as she can just to spite us, so I'm thinking of the situation as kind of like a finger trap. The more we try to fight it, the longer we'll be stuck in it. So we put a litter box ( Read more... )

Today was just work as usual, where we learned that the side stories from the Sailor Moon Dream Arc are just as nightmarish (to translate) as we thought they might be. ...Although, in retrospect, there didn't seem to be a whole lot of expositiony monologues, so maybe they're not so bad after all. They're just super duper wordy, that's all ( Read more... )

We're too sleepy to go on. We shouldn't have stayed up as late as we did, but we thought just one episode of a show on how to do family history work would be okay, and then I had Page on my lap, so we ended up watching two. I'm not sure how helpful this show is going to end up being as far as us doing family history, but we're going to keep ( Read more... )

We finished work so miraculously quickly today that we had time to write two reviews and find all our tax information to send to our accountant, and all of this before dinner time! And the timing ended up being so good that when we checked Facebook right before dinner, our timeline gave us the link that Mamoru Miyano posted to the free stream of ( Read more... )

I'm not entirely sure what it says about us that we can be three pages away from finishing the story part of this book of Negima! and still decide to wait until tomorrow. It's not that the story isn't fascinating, either, because it is. It's just that... there's a lot of talking. Whine whine whine. And it's hot. And translating a lot of ( Read more... )

I feel like an anime fan again! Wow! Of course I always worry about time management, but I think we're keeping it in moderation. This morning, we remembered something about each episode of Fairy Tail only being available for thirty days after its release on Crunchyroll, so we headed over there to try and make sure we didn't lose any episodes, ( Read more... )
