Just finished watching Gilgamesh. Ok, I admit I didn't watch it under the best circumstances for appreciating a series--ten eps. a year or two ago, and the rest over the last couple of weeks, without going back and reviewing. Bear this in mind. Anyway, we stopped watching because, while the premise was pretty interesting, it was SLOW as all hell ( Read more... )

French toast smells *good*. I'm having a hungry day. Luckily the husband does things like make me breakfast out of breakfasty foods, after refusing to let me go downstairs to Wendy's to have fries and a Frosty for breakfast. O_o My brain has messed-up ideas when I'm hungry and indecisive ( Read more... )

*grins* This song has been forever altered for me, ever since it became our impromptu "wedding" recessional ( Read more... )

*laughs* Trouble with wanting Rin iconage is that she almost never looks anything but angry or moody or otherwise distressed. I think she's smiled . . . once, is it? Ever? (I'm picturing chapter 79, when Haru's amusing her with his 'logic'. *pauses for a moment of admiration of Rin's adorableness when she smiles* It's kind of heartbreaking, ( Read more... )

I'm in another "see if interesting people will let me Friend them" mood. Wonder if anything will come of it ( Read more... )

Lots of manga reading lately . . . trouble with the library manga is none of it is stuff I really, really want to read. And so far I continue to have no luck at all with the local stores getting me anything I want to buy. :/ Last night I made an Amazon order for the next three volumes of MARS (the only series I'm collecting which they've ( Read more... )

Blessings on my local library--they have a reasonable manga collection! Just had some requests arrive . . .

Happy Mania: read vol. 1, don't think I can be bothered with any more. Bored lonely girl who screws random men during her quest for a soulmate is all it is so far, and I think I have better ways to spend my time.

Fake: two volumes in. ( Read more... )

No more dvds until I get a job. >.< I've finally ordered myself to stop using the "if I preorder them they're cheaper, so the money I save now will balance out any interest I pay later by using loan money to acquire them" argument . . . I still think it's a reasonable argument, but . . . no. Azumanga Daioh and Evangelion Platinum can both wait ( Read more... )

Today I did manage to read all of the manga I picked up at Anime North, so here are some quick thoughts:

Fruits Basket vol 3: Tokyopop is continuing to do a reasonably adequate job of the translation, although they're too liberal for my taste. I'd take a slightly awkward but more literal translation any day (there's space for notes between the ( Read more... )

I've just discovered grammar_whores. Sounds like prime lurking ground to me. ^_^

Still trying to figure out this Linux thing--all of my old files seem to be read-only, but I did start my first Open Office document and write a page that will slide into the Haru fic (which seems to have settled on Inviolate as its title. This week).

Someone on fruits_basket has suggested ( Read more... )
