I NEED TO WATCH MORE ANIME

Just as the titles says. Must watch anime. I might borrow the .hack//SIGN DVDs from the library. I love that series. I missed episodes of it because of karate.

Speaking of karate, I watched Fight Quest on Discovery HD the other day, and it makes me want to take karate classes again. I didn't realize how much I miss it. But there's no point in me signing up for classes now, because I still have to get my dental implant done. But maybe after Christmas I'll see about looking for a new dojo. If only Mr. Bishop's dojo weren't so far away!

Yesterday I got so upset because I couldn't find our Cooks Country magazines. Now I wonder if they got taken to Value Village. Either that, or my dad put them somewhere. He has a habit of boxing things up. He calls it 'cleaning'. I don't think they went to Value Village, because I remember them being in a box somewhere, probably with the holiday cooking magazines. If I can find out where the holiday magazines are, chances are I'll find the Cooks Country magazines.

Speaking of magazines. I spend way too much time on Wikipedia. Did you know that some manga magazines, like Ribon, are the size of phone books, and come with extras like notepads? I wonder if the library has Shojo Beat... according to Wiki, it's not being published anymore. Next time I'm in Indigo or Chapters, I'll have to see if they have any manga magazines.

Also yesterday, Mom let me borrow her fabulous Susan Bates size US 7 circular for my mandrake blanket, because the circular I was using is really stupid and won't stay de-kinked - when your left pinky goes numb when using a circular, that's not good ;P Hopefully I'll be able to zip through the blanket with this needle. I might take it to knit night on Tuesday.

But yeah. Anime. I watched a bit of InuYasha on YouTube last night. I must reserve one of the box sets from the library, because I lost track on InuYasha (again, because of karate). I might go on Wikipedia and read through the episode lists to see where I left off.

I wonder what anime YTV still has on. I should check their site.

Anyways. We didn't go down to see Grandma today because Mom was tired, so we'll probably go down tomorrow.

I've been re-bitten by the anime bug!

Yup. anime bug. i haz it.

And it's not just Pretty Cure (which I watched yesterday). I was re-watching an episode of InuYasha - episode 17, Sesshomaru at his most handsome. Well, maybe not his most handsome...

Also, I have to pick up the Return to Labyrinth graphic novel, and I've reserved Full Moon o Sagashite #1. There are other mangas I'd like to read, such as Ranma 1/2 and the two Cardcaptor Sakura mangas that the library has. I wonder if they're still in print - I love the Cardcaptor Sakura anime. I was listening to the opening theme from it earlier. I love j-pop :)

In other news, all I've eaten today is a few graham crackers, I'm still pissed off at Elyssa, the weather's been nice, I have five things to pick up from the library, and I might walk down to said library on Tuesday - they're open today, but I don't feel like going down today.

Oh yeah. I should probably update on my HPKCHC progress. My Herbology assignment is going well - slow, but well. Slow because my size 7 circular needle is so stubborn. It won't stay unkinked. I don't know if I unkinked it improperly, or what, but it's so hard to work with. I didn't have this problem with the size 9 Prym circular that I have. Maybe the size 7 is a cheap one - I don't know which brand it is, because Mom gave it to me without its sleeve/packaging. So for now it's a Mystery Circular. I'm going to ask Mom to send me the photos of my Ancient Runes blanket square, so that I can turn in my assignment and earn points for Ravenclaw. I also have to come up with an acrostic cheer for the Quidditch thread. I'm not participating in Quidditch, but I'm going to try coming up with a clever cheer. And I need to get yarn for my Charms assignment - either that, or try to come up with something with the yarn that I already have. I have no bronze-coloured yarn, though, only tan-coloured. No silver or grey yarn, either. I'll have to drag Dad to Michaels.

Now I have 'Keep Tryin'' by Utada Hikaru stuck in my head.

So anyways. Ancient Runes is done, Herbology is in progress, and I haven't started Charms yet. Last night I watched Spectacle, and almost changed the channel because Dad was talking over it, so I had thought, "Screw it, I'll watch it later". But Mom and Dad made a big stink about it, so I put it back on. Grr...

edited to correct the spelling of Pretty Cure

Not much happenin'

...but I'm bored, so I'll write a blog post.

I'm using Firefox now, because IE 6 stops responding a lot. I don't like the bookmarks on Firefox, though. They're in a drop-down menu, which annoys me. But the tabs are pretty convenient.

I went to the library yesterday to pick up My Neighbor Totoro, InuYasha the Movie 3: Swords of an Honorable Ruler, the book on World War II, and French Girl Knits. is pretty scratched, so I'm hoping it'll play okay. If it doesn't, I'll tell the librarians that it needs buffing. The InuYasha movie is scratched, too, but not as badly.

And I went through the new items, which were added last night. I reserved The Wrestler, Frost/Nixon, Lost in Austen, Slumdog Millionaire, and a bunch of other stuff. Now that I think about it, I probably reserved more DVDs than books... oh yeah, I also reserved the new U2 CD.

Peculiar Saturday

Very peculiar indeed. I didn't wake up until 11-ish, and I didn't come upstairs until noon-ish.

Yesterday I got a tiny cut on my finger. I think I had tried to move the kitchen faucet, and there's a little raised bit on the faucet that got my finger. Ouch.

Also yesterday, I did a lot of laundry. I washed not only clothes but also bedding and my pillow. Mom and I had a huge fight over the pillow because I washed it on it's own and it didn't drain properly, so it was dripping when I took it out. Mom assumed I was putting it in with other stuff. So she decided to put it in on the final spin cycle. Grr.

It got really fluffy, though! :)

Did I mention that YouTube is working now? It was being weird because they were doing updates. The strangest thing, though, is that Dad didn't have any trouble with YouTube. Huh.

So, I'm really enjoying We're Going to See The Beatles!. I've taken a break from A Freewheelin' Time, because it's a bit of a difficult read sometimes. I really haven't been reading much fiction, actually. I reserved New Moon, though. I hope it's better than Twilight.

That reminds me, I made another avatar that mocks Edward Cullen! It reads: "My dog demon is hotter than your VAMPIRE!!!" I would've included a photo of Sesshomaru, but I can't figure out how to use Photoshop :p

I think I'll go watch InuYasha on YouTube :)
