Naruto: "Yakumo's Sealed Power": I agree with Kurenai. She shouldn't be allowed to have authority over children. Then again, the Leaf Village puts all kinds of unsuitable people in place to train their kids, like that former Orochimaru minion people knew had something implanted in her by Orochimaru, though they knew not exactly what, but put her in charge during a part of the Chunin exams. The anime hasn't shown enough of Kurenai to give me any sympathy toward her from her being less failtastic in the past. If I were Yakumo, I'd be vengeful too.


Naruto the Movie 3: Guardians of the Crescent Moon Kingdom: Cartoon Network, I really don't appreciate it when you pre-empt the next episode in a story arc of the regular show to instead play a movie I saw before less than a month ago on your network.

***

Bleach #89: I'm glad that Uryu is finally getting some plot time again. "You want power? Well, do you?" Punk? When do we get to see this "power" Nemu will be lending him? And the Soul Reapers continue to reveal that they've been hoarding Quincy stuff. Passed down through generations of Quincy before the Soul Reapers took and hid it. ::shakes head::

Alas, we have another Bount and doll that bored me. Boasting Bount #123, you know. It's nice to see Orihime contributing more to a fight, though I'm curious as to why the artists usually don't show her fairies anymore. I'm curious to see if Rukia's "soul damage" will come into play in an interesting way later. I like Shuei so far and would appreciate seeing more of him.

Cry me a river, Ugaki. Like you guys are the only people discriminated against. Thanks, Renji.

Nice of the episode to mention how useless the mod souls are in their toy bodies, as if we couldn't see it ourselves.

"Stupid Soul Reapers! And your stupid abilities!" Ugaki is so articulate.


#90: Ugaki still bores me, but I wonder if he made the control board and cards or if they came with Gesell.

Renji actually understands teamwork now? Doesn't really sound like it to me. I'd forgotten how ridiculously dick-like Zabimaru looks! But I enjoyed a lot of the battle. I even liked Yumichika a bit for the first time ever.

Then Ichigo battles Kariya, and it all went dull for me. This often happens to me when I'm watching battles where at least one side has huge, undefined powers that can be unexpectedly pulled out of their ass at the last second. Also, it's Kariya, who puts me to sleep whenever he opens his mouth.

I'm surprised none of the other Bounts have turned on him yet when he keeps getting them killed. Are they too stupid to see it? Then again, maybe they hate the Soul Society enough to take the chance. I certainly hate the Soul Society.

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2: "Turn 03: Imprisoned in Campus": The Chinese Federation swordsman just lets a guy who announced he was here to kill Zero walk off without another word? Or was that part of Rolo's geass?

It's a good thing for Kallen that C2 is so amused by her. Otherwise she'd probably be dead by now. *g*

Britannia must have considered the capture of C2 a priority if they mindwiped and rewrote most of the school's students just to try to get her. Also, they're devoting personnel and taking over cameras just to watch Lelouch. Weird. I'm surprised that Lelouch feels anything about the wrongness of everyone's memories being tampered with aside from being angry that they've forgotten Nunally.

Suzaku's "humility" and sense of duty? That's hilarious.

Rolo is quite the tangled up mess. Interesting.

Kallen is such an entitled moron. Walking into a room without looking first to chew C2 out... while she's wearing only a towel?

Shirley can't stand and stir a bowl at the same time, is impaired at picking at presents... can she breathe and walk at the same time?

It's fun to see the tables get turned on Lelouch now and then, though I don't know where someone who has Geass has any pull to consider Lelouch's eye demonic.


"Turn 04: Counterattack at the Gallows": Of course that didn't last for long. Rolo's huge mistake was talking to him instead of just firing. *g* He has the same color eyes as Lelouch, so is there a family bond in there after all?

Fun that when C2 talks of being separated from Lelouch again, there's the visual metaphor of a gun being separated from its magazine.

What the hell is up with that Chinese Federation guy?

I'm kind of fond of Guilford. He's so competent. Though his talk of a "fair and honest duel" is pretty ridiculous. There's no way I can see the Britannian soldiers massed around them honoring it.

Ha! Lelu used a guy who had a personal revenge beef with him. Did Rolo kill the guy who owned that Knightmare he stole or just stun him? With Rolo it's hard to know.

Does it make me a bad person that I laughed like hell as Lelouch's plan unfolded, especially as he pwned Rolo? Seriously, Rolo, you never should have given him the chance to talk to you.

I still have a take-home exam to finish, a Final Project to complete, evaluations to submit, and an exam on the night of the 11th.

The presentation with my group for my 506 Information Technology class went well. ^__^ We covered each aspect of our site nicely and I had way too much fun acting as a football commentator (you know when those use those pens to draw on the screen? I could do that on powerpoint!!) to show our Before & After pics. The professor was smiling, so I’ll take that as a good sign. Oh!! A friend also gave me some clementine oranges!! YUM!!! Many thanks to her!

I then headed up to the library to meet with another student to sell my books for the class. So, now I have a bit of money for textbooks next semester.

I then reached a point where I contemplated ditching my Thursday night class. There was just going to be a panel of Records Managers, so I decided (after 10 minutes of trying to find out if I just wanted to go home) to hang out at my friend Anna’s apartment to work on a take-home exam.

*mutter* Fucking hat pins. HAT PINS! *growls*

However, the quote of the day does go to my friend, “I dreamt that we were on a commercial spaceship and Maks was our pilot.” (yes, that would be Maksim from Dancing with the Stars) *just giggles*

Many thanks to that friend for the taco soup and for the use of her laptop. ^__^!!

Moving along, yeah, I ditched a class to work on an exam. *dork* After about 3 hours of working on that (I’m still not done), I headed with my friend over to the Happy Hour at a local bar. I found out from my classmates who attended the Thursday night class that the professor actually went through slides that are going to be on the exam. ^^;; However, they did fill me in that they’re available online and told me what NOT to study. W00t!

I didn’t do any drinking since I had to drive home, but I dug into some food and had fun conversing with my classmates. Also, I’m still stoked to hear from people who liked my Library Tai Chi presentation. ^__^!!

The previous day I also ditched my night class (to attend a Senate meeting). I met with my professor beforehand and said I might miss class. She just seemed pleased to see someone in her office hours, so she gave me notes on the take-home exam and looked through my final Pathfinder project, giving me tips on how to improve it. She also handed back some assignments and was thankful that I had good grammar in them. It seems that if I do well on this exam and my final project…I just might end up with an A.

The Senate meeting ended early, but when I walked up to the classroom door, I heard her lecturing the class. So I discretely snuck away and went home (to work on the exam).

Work at the library has been a whirlwind of trying to weed through picture books and working the desk. It’s good to have a project, but I have so much to do by Monday!!

Also, we have a stuffed muskrat in the break room. It stares at me when I eat lunch. 0__0

( See?? Right by the coffee pot! )

NowPublic asked to use another of my photos for another story: "Saks Fifth Ave on 70% Discount." I didn't realize Saks was doing such deep discounts, though it's still above my reach.

So on my way to work there's a Walgreens that has up on their billboard: "SANTA CON. $12.99" Or, well, I don't actually remember the price. And I don't know what the hell Santa Con is, either. But I seriously did a double take when I saw it. I was like, "Santa what? Santa...con? Like...lolicon? Lolicon. Shotacon. Santacon. The Holy Trinity of perversity. Heh." (It was early, I was tired.) Of course, now I'm dying to go in and see what the heck it is they're selling....

Also? Keep forgetting to mention, but on the way to my dentist, there's a Hemp and Marijuana Foundation. It's right next to a company that does lawn seeding. (It's just these little ironies that make life worth living.)

And every time I hear about the end of the Mayan Calendar world, I find myself thinking, "OMG...in four years, I'm going to have the best birthday party ever." You're all invited. I'm sure there'll be cake. *hearts*

Oh! And it was finally not raining and slow enough at work that I was able to take a long lunch and go down to the post office, so there's a few packages on the way (finally!). Like I keep saying, it only takes me a few months to get there.... *cringe* But Laura and I are going to be baking up a storm on the 14th (baking has always been a social thing for me, I swear), so there are possibly baked goods in somebody's future, assuming I can get them shipped before they go stale! *laughs* Yeah, me and the postman, we're like this.... *holds hands wide apart*

Erm. Yeah, I really need to write tonight. Or I could level my team up! Or...I could write. Or I could not sleep! *hearts* Maybe I'll go with that one....

So I can't access LJ. or mediaminer. or, i'm sure, a dozen other sites. I haven't been able to since yesterday. and before that it did the on/off thing for a little while. AND I DON'T KNOW WHY. Obviously LJ is up and running just fine, several people told me so. But when I try to access it, it keeps going "cannot find server." AUUUUUUUUUUUUGH.

Using proxies to surf your friendslist really sucks, btw, since I can't sign in and miss about half of it. And I can't see the comments. And, argh. Just argh.

I'm sure you're stunned to hear that my lawyer didn't call me back, despite the two voice messages I left, yesterday's and this afternoon's.

Finally did this meme:

I returned to Bergdorf Goodman and utilized my flash. Some of the photos went to my Flickr account, including more of Spring and Holiday, while the rest went to this entry.


Bergdorf Goodman window: The Seasons: Winter



I thought the woodland critters were the artist's assistants but I was wrong: They're all artists in their own right.




Seriously. All of them. All the creatures are creating, even the mouse.




Bergdorf Goodman window: The Seasons: Summer


I didn't like the overall window much but liked the exposed layers of sediment. Also, there's a lot of jewelry amidst the fish.


Dream of the blue turtle rider?




Bergdorf Goodman window: Time. It looks like she's wearing gloves and a filmy wrap she didn't have last time. They have a crazy number of clocks around her.




Bergdorf Goodman window: Time (above)



I actually think this mannequin looks better in the weird lighting version.

Wah...so yesterday I went to work on exactly zero sleep, came home, fell down and died. Just, uh, my way of saying "Wow, I got nothing done!" And today it's also entirely likely that I'll get nothing done, because I really sort of want to play some P3 tonight. *hearts* Hey, the sooner I get it played, the sooner I can write about it, right? But! Have Captain Surly on the team now, and omg, he is love! Even if he is only good for beating the crap out of things with physical attacks and standing around looking like a mugging waiting to happen. Still love. Yes. Oh, and the full moon fight in the hotel? DIED. I fell sideways off the bed and DIED. Loudly. Just sayin'.

Anyway, been trying to actually listen to everything on my iPod instead of obsessively playing songs/albums I like for days on end...and don't you hate it when you pick up a song and have NO IDEA where it came from? And can't find it in all the crap you've got on your computer anyway to stick it in the proper mix folder? But you know it has to be somewhere, because iPods don't just load themselves! ...you hope. Heh. (The fact that I'm "a good day" away from 4000 albums at this point is probably not helping.)

Right, music. Short but sweet, I promise!

For instance, I would kill to hear a mashup with these two songs. Just. They're nothing alike, and yet they are. It's hard to explain. But I bet if I listen to them back to back for the next few hours, when I go to sleep tonight, my brain will splice them together for me if I ask it nicely. *hearts*

Anoice - "Aspirin Music"
Pink Martini - "Bolero"

And I finally got around to actually listening to the Amalgamated Sons of Rest album, which is a collaboration between Will Oldham (squee), Jason Molina (double squee), and some other guy who I haven't gotten around to tracking down yet. *grins* Yes, okay, I admit it, seeing the traditional songs on it sort of put me off, because I've heard so many bloody awful interpretations of traditional songs, y'know? But I should've known Oldham and Molina wouldn't steer me wrong. But the reason I'm posting this particular one is because--despite the different titles--this is two different bands' take on the same tune, and they're both fabulous...but very, very different. Which is nice in and of itself.

Amalgamated Sons of Rest - "My Donal"
Massive Attack - "Home of the Whale (feat. Caroline Lavelle)"

I haven't been truly sick in something like five years, which is incidentally the same amount of time I haven't had access to whatever Yuck is being passed around schools via my mother. Two weeks ago Mom started teaching again and promptly came down with a miserable flu-like bug. It passed to Dad, and now that they're both recovered I've got it. -_- And so the Cycle of Life starts spinning again.

*groans, crawls under blankets and is not seen again for a week*

EDIT: Because everyone likes Internet presents.

I just spent $150 on a textbook that was optional for this course, just to get a bit more background and understanding on a course before my exam on Monday, mostly because I wanted to have it at home rather than relying on 3-hours-at-a-time rentals from the library.

I might be slightly nervous about my Constitutional Law exam.

First, birthday shout out to penchy, because I will be up at class and thus unable to go on any birthday outings.

So, I finished my Monster Research Paper of Doom. (Seriously, anyone who needs info on the Fourth of July in New York City from 1801 - 1815? Anyone? little_details? Meh, I'll go look...) I also had a second paper to do, a should-be-really-six-full-pages-but-I-just-barely-made-it-to-the-top-of-six kind. At least I'm doing well in that class, so I have leeway. (knock wood)

I've got one more class to worry about, and that's for the 16th. After that, winter freedom~! (Well, at least from school. Working retail during the holiday season is its own form of torture, but one that doesn't have term papers to do.)

Advent Calendar: Not today. Alas, the files are on my laptop, which is at home. I'm at work. Also, I will be in DC and Virginia, visting with my Dad, for the next two days and will not have internet access. So! There is a small dryspell here, and then you'll have a flood of things over the weekend. Sorry!

Life, etc: Stomach is behaving today, thank goodness. My boss didn't get sick, so either he has a titanium stomach or it wasn't lunch. Beats me, just as long as it stays gone. x_x Finished the commercial storyboard (in two parts) and uploaded it for class. Am just going to take a miss on part of my psych assignment this week as I don't have time to do it, and really, 40 points out of a possible 2000 for the class isn't going to kill me. x_x

Also? My boss has a copy of my storyboard in his hand right now and is upstairs somewhere showing it to some head of marketing. x_____X [cue mad heart palpitations and nail biting]

I have twenty minutes of lunch left, and then I get to go sit in new hire orientation for three hours. Wheeee!

I am going to be dead on my feet all morning. I was up until late getting everything ready for the trip, things laid out for the tanking care of the critters, and growling at Jon, because he was too tense about the trip to sleep. He has a list, today, of chores. He knows that I won't leave if there's a messy house, so he'd best get it done before I get home from work.

As for the flu, I think mine is about done with, but Janice is still coughing. *Sigh*

Jon is talking about taking swim suits. I told him that he had less a chance of seeing me swimming in this cold, than getting pictures of the Loch Ness monster.

I have enough to fix two cats, mom-cat and Butter. They will be priority one when I get back. Slinky, the little male kitty, will have to wait until he's a bit older.

I will start both fic requests as soon as I get back, and start on a Heero and Duo with kitties pic.

I've been looking at airbrush equipment. I'd really need my studio finished though. One of my Christmas requests is a drafting table to do my art on.

Alex just cocked his head sideways at me, like a curious dog. He is so weird for a cat.

At work:

We managed to get a new christmas tree tent, but boss man is still determined to go through the entire season with only one cashier per shift, even though we are swamped with customers.

Dear Lowes morons: if you mark your Christmas down to %50 off, at the start of December, your customers will return what they have already bought, to buy it cheaper. No duh. Marking down, because you expect poor sales, is self defeating behavior. I expect it, therefore I will make it happen.
