So, my mother, my Grandmother and I drove to Syracuse, NY on Monday in order to pick up my Great Aunt Annis.  I read a lot, we talked a lot, I got sick of Garrison Keillor's voice, and I listened to about ten speeches.*  Mostly, I'm relieved to not be riding in a car anymore, though I guess it counts as practice since my Dad and I are driving down ( Read more... )

. . .I joined one of those giant colorful hyperlink meme thingamabobs. Why? Because I am self-obsessed, I suppose.*

ROLEPLAYME!

In less colorful-hyperlink-related news, I finished Gakuen Alice on Thursday.

I am really, really happy that I bought this.

Gakuen Alice is, in my eyes, basically the spiritual successor to my ( Read more... )

List 10 of your favorite characters from different fandoms, and ask people to spot patterns in your choices, and if they're so inclined, to draw conclusions about you based on the patterns they've spotted.

Gunbuster - Noriko.  I'd actually say I like her more than any one character in Diebuster, but everything is very close in ( Read more... )

Red Garden is flickering in terms of quality, particularly with animation.  I mean, it was always sub-par in the dialog-oriented scenes, but amazing when necessary.  Now. . .when there's talking, NOBODY MOVES, and the battle scenes are still nice, but. . .not like they were, I guess?

Also, it keeps shifting from Interesting Characters to Incoherent ( Read more... )

But it was returned to its cavity mostly in the same condition. . .

Just with a few chunks missing.

God.  And I could predict the twist, too, but not. . .not like that. . .

God.

Summer's going well so far - I don't actually have much to say, but I feel like I should post.  I'm going to go work in about ten minutes, but this is the last thing I have to do this week and then I get to go collapse!  My body's adjusting to the exertion, though, which is helpful.  Aikido is still going well, though Thursday I managed to somehow ( Read more... )

So, today was the beginning of my working for my Dad - I started this morning and finished about fifteen minutes ago - and it consisted primarily of yard work and gardening* and went very well, though I am currently dirty and sweaty and sore and tired, and am going to the gym in half an hour which probably won't help that too much, but I think ( Read more... )

Baccano!, I love you, and you are fantastic.

. . .I know the nausea-inducing violence is just tough love.  Your way of showing you care.

. . .seriously, though.  That was a bit much.

But it was still completely awesome.

I feel spoiled in terms of the media that I have lately been consuming.  ^^  I read The Thirteenth Tale, which was not only amazing, but may have earned a #4 spot in terms of book ranking. . .well, sort of.  I'd place it just below my three favorites, which are all tied, though, really, the rankings are completely arbitrary and it all boils down to ( Read more... )
