Wow, welcome to June. Only in New England does june have this chilly of a bite. I was silly enough to not bring a coat to CT with me, and was wearing very thin pants, so it was a good thing that
sundart and I had some good good conversation to keep us warm as we hiked up the hill from the bus. :)
I hate the boy cat. here it is, barely after 7 am and he's already getting into very noisy trouble. Right now he's knocking things off the butcher block and batting them across the kitchen floor. This cat sucks big hairy monkey nuts sometimes. Lucky for him, he's cute.
Good weekend to be had. Much Boogiepop Phantom. Definitely one of those anime series that I'm going to have to watch again to really understand, but much of it, especially the last episode, had resonances to my graduation related fit a couple of weeks ago. Not that this was a bad thing, just once again brought home the message that change is inevitable. Even if you stay in the same place, everyone around you changes themselves and their plans . . . and while I still don't like the idea, it's something I'm very slowly getting used to.
Also treated
jaicat and
darkling_dreams to my self proclaimed "Best of Samurai Jack" list. The short short version anyway, as we did skip nearly all of season I and there are some gems there (especially anything having to do with the Scotsman. Or Aku pouting or having a hissy fit. I do love it when even ultimate evil can't keep their emotions in check, and Aku isn't the most emotionally stable character in the world. ("Samurai, samurai. Why . . . won't . . . you . . . DIE???!!!") We did see all of my absolute favorites - the first three episodes, Jack and the Warrior Woman, Jack and the Imakandi (Hunters), Jack vs Demongo ("You are wissssssssse, Ssssssamurai . . . but who cares? Nyeh!!!!"), Jack and the Rave, and Jack and the Zombies. We also caught this week's new episode, where jack reunites with the order of monks he trained with as a kid. Sooooooo glad they are going to start rerunning it from the beginning this week instead of Assfuck League.
There was red potato pizza, and Italian food, and Kitty. And there was a little bit of a tummy problem afterwards. (From the food, not from Kitty!) I have completely fallen off the dairy wagon. Where the hell did the "off the wagon" expression come from? it doesn't make sense to me - I have a much easier time imagining a bunch of drunks on the wagon swilling and singing things like Barnacle Bill the Sailor. Anyway. Need to stop eating it again. Dairy Bad. And
sundart, other than her recurring tummy trouble, has been really happy about her gluten free thing, that I'm thinking of trying that too - once I get the dairy habit kicked. It's easier at home, as i've got access to soy milk here. I must say, one thing I have managed to give up successfully and not miss at all is ice cream. Need to work on the pizza though.
Overall a pretty good weekend!
sundart and I had some really good in-depth conversation on the way home, and some in-depth cuddling once we got there. It helped that it was a cold cold night out there as well . . .
Things I have to look forward to:
Hunting down my Hugh Brown Shü tape so I can transcribe it. It cannot hide forever.
Working on a couple of fun projects at work this week.
sundart being all sparkly and cute.
Hunting down
harinezumi so I can bash him good and make him tell me if it will be good to go visit in the July 18-29 block.
New actual DVD player as opposed to broke ass DVD player on computer that is no longer recognizing DVDs. I can at last watch Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets again (only 20 days until the new book comes out!), and possibly some Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Been too long.
Six Flags on Friday! Whoohoo! Which means, conversely, only a four day week at work. Uh oh - better get ass in gear!
And speaking of work - time to put LJ away for now. :)
