Woot. Long Pants Weather...

Which shall soon turn into Hot Tea/Chocolate weather, but hasn't quite yet. I've had some Hot Tea, but that was cause I opted for shorts in what was clearly pants temperatures.

Celebrated my birthday, nothing special whatsoever, which is how I like it anyways. 30g iPod and Lucky Number Slevin on DVD. I might use some of the birthday cash to get a few of those CDs I talked about. Spent the weekend mixing Burning Crusade Beta with various tasks; haircut, flu shot, CHS Orchestra dinner theater.

Ouran Host Club wrapped up, doubtful there's much hope for a second season here (Which is always a prominent question on my mind when anything enjoyable ends) though I don't know how much of the manga is left intact to be covered. It'd be nice to see Eclair and Tamaki's mother 'saved' as the rest of the club is/becomes to a degree, but that doesn't seem to merit a whole season on it's own.

The revival of the lightbulb, the seamless blending of the ED with the episodes final events, as well as the full circle closure (crashing in a Pumpkin Patch whilst in a horse-drawn carriage anyone?) made the episode really really good.

I'm hoping to be watching Punpkin Scissors, Negima?!, D.Gray-man, Death Note, and Code Geass this season, however the groups I desire to be subbing them (Lunar-Anime, A.F.K., Mahou, Static-Subs, Eclipse, Nanashi, heck even Froth-Bite) haven't really made a dent in that lineup for the most part. Too much obsession with Fucking Kanon, grr. I am watching Black Lagoon's continuation though, though the albino vampire loli-sis-con are creepy as hell.

Innocent Venus has got me really enmeshed in the mystery and backstabbing, despite Gora's attempts to fuck the entire series over by rolling all 3 of Eureka's children into one horrifying Jarjar Binks/Inspector Gadget clueless-hero-who's-not-trying-to-be-heroic-but-does-feel-motivation-by-more-than-the-base-greed-at-times.

Speaking of Eureka, Nanashi finished, so I've got 39-50 to watch, well once the dls finish. Here's hoping that 42 picks up where 39-41 have been exposition/explanation/metaphysic slouch and gives me back the action and violence and pink explosions we all know and love.

Burning Crusade Beta is more of the leveling / character-improvement we all know I love. Especially the new rep rewards. Only done two of the instances, and there's tons more to go, but it's good to be doing Dungeon Crawls again, even if I feel I'm limiting my contributions with my spec atm, though I seem to be fine outside of Dungeons as main healer with no spec for it but totally geared. Seems like Holy might be more viable than I had considered if SoRight stays as it is, but for now I'm still planning Ret to Holy Strike (sweet sweet Holy Strike, you're totally worth the cost of dispellable Divine Shield).

Made myself a Wordpress account/blog. Gonna use it for writings mostly, or at least that's the plan as stands. I've only tinkered with it a bit, edited the welcome post, added about 1/4th of another post, we'll see how far I make it with it before I lose the urge for creative writings again.
