matrixrefugee...Is better than none at all.
I was called in early to work and ended up taking a longer shift than usual, plus it seemed everyone was getting a jump on buying their turkey/stuffing mix/cranberries/yams/ potatoes/asparagus/squash/canned cranberry sauce/gravy mix. Thus I ended up feeling rather exhausted in spirit when I got home, so I settled on typing only about half of the day's quota. Hopefully tomorrow I can catch up (though I think *that* time of the month is imminent, hence the draggy feeling).
Several bright spots, though:
--The price dropped drastically on the boxed set of Yami no Matsuei which I have had my eye on, via Amazon, so I snarfed that up (yes, I know, I need to buy that power supply for the comp; one thing at a time and the power supply is next).
--Also found a plug in for Firefox which allows one to bypass the time limits on MegaVideo et al, so this should make things easier as I hunt for dubbed anime online, plus, it takes the "grrr, time limit" out of watching movies that are more than 72 minutes long.
--And at long last, after the better part of a year and a half, I finally finished readingTwhineliteTwilight and have started New MoanMoon. A few things:
* Stephanie Meyers comes up with good supporting characters: I like Alice and Jasper (who makes me think of a psy-vamp). Too bad they get eclipsed (get it?) by Dulla and Edwierd.
* Drinking games inspired by how many times Edwierd's "perfect" beauty, or the "marble" texture of his skin is referred to should be limited to a handful of chapters. Doing the whole book would likely cause alcohol poisoning.
* Do all the windows in the Twilight-verse have vertical blinds???
