How was your Thanksgiving Break, Paul?

-I was sick with a cold and took all kinds of pills! I nevertheless had a very nice, relaxing time, spending the majority of my existence at home wearing pajama pants and drinking tea.
-I rediscovered my love for Shojo manga; I haven’t read Kare Kano for a over a year. I thought I didn’t like this series anymore after realizing it had a skewed, idealistic, almost worshipful view of love, but now I like it because, though that IS indeed the case at times, it’s still hilarious, has characters I like that are well-developed, and is often emotionally moving. Anyway, don’t read Shojo manga like that unless you want to try to like it…
-I bought Don Quixote and read some of it. Don Quixote is the funniest “classic” book I’ve read so far; I recommend it! It gets even better as it goes, since it moves towards using more and more dialogue as it goes. It starts showing more than telling, and all that. WOO!
-I made an anime calendar through CafePress and will get it in the mail soon. If it meets my Koalaity Standards, I’ll sell it on Warnerburg AND IT’LL BE SWEET
-Saw some Kenshin and had some mad hangoutz. In the process of hangoutz, discovered the band Dragonforce, which seems to be the embodiment of one of my stereotypes or of an archetype of ADHD 80’s-ish rock and roll, to the point of grandeur and absurdity and delight.

And now, YARGH, time for three weeks of work, but thankfully these will decrease in stress levels as they go. Thank God for a relaxing break! My last break was not so hip!
