ok, without question, Karin ep 14 is my fave so far. Karin is a great show, but i’m loving the attention given to Maki, Karin’s friend, in this one. You just want to hug the girl sometimes. That and i can’t help but laughing at Boogie-kun.

Karin has turned into an example of one of my favorite kinds of anime – the kind where you find yourself really interested in a secondary character, and throughout the course of it you find that character actually getting just enough attention and development to make you happy. Ruri in Nadesico is the classic example of this, and there are others, but its nice to see it develop so well in Karin too. At least for me (some info and screenshots on ep 11-12. No one seems to have blogged ep 14 yet

In other news, if you recall recently i had to take Hime in for the removal of a possible injection site sarcoma. The good news is that it it was a lipoma, which is benin and not cancer at all Given where it was, they were very concerned that it was a injection site sarcoma, but thankfully it wasn’t. The upshot is, she’s fine, even if she does have a 5″ scar across her back (which is scarier looking than it is scary). ;_; She’s doing fine.

A few interesting things going on this weekend, gotta get working on a MT rant. Whee

It took a while to realize just why i had a headache today and why my head has been feeling wonky – it’s because i gave up caffeine a few days ago. Green tea in its many varieties is actually a good replacement for my beloved coffee (sniff) but it seems my head isn’t being fooled by the cessation of the caffeine flow I’ve even been using Soy Milk on my Wheaties recently (and before you go -gag-, it’s surprisingly not bad. Soy milk kinda has a nutty flavor to it that doesn’t bother you at all when had with cereal). I’m healthy enough, but looking down the road we kinda felt it was time I stopped eating like a teenager. When you consider the fact that one of my favorite bachelor-day foods was spring pasta with mayonnaise, parmesan cheese and salt (a dish that sarah has steadfastly forbidden me ever consider eating again lest my internal organs explode in a monty-python-esque fashion) i’ve come a long, long way in eating healthier. I’ll never be a health nut, but if i can get myself into habits that are less likely to kill me, i might actually live to finish this damn comic.

Things have been pretty hectic for the past few days – got a few big things coming up in the next few weeks, should be fun for everyone (I hope). Also, there will be a few less people in the world over the next few days after i kill them. You see, this morning i broke down and preordered this Sakagami Tomoyo PVC figure. (Tomoyo is from Clannad, in case you haven’t been following my rantings) There are a number of people who, over the past few years, i have sworn would have to die if i ever broke down and got into collecting figures. You know who you are, and i do blame all of you for this. Don’t bother trying to hide, i will find you. Ah, hell. its cute, and i can put her with the Ruri PVC figure I have (that one was a gift). I suppose it was inevitable. Reminds me of Sight a little…

I also downloaded a series to watch just because there is a cute character in it. You ever have a show that for the most part you dont like but there is one character that just makes it all worth watching? It’s a show that i’d never normally watch, not with all the great shows out there full of fun characters, relationships, cuteness, etc. I just dont watch mecha shows, don’t like the genre that much. Lemii finally got me. I just couldn’t take the pressure of the fanart and the general cuteness, so i broke down and pulled down some Zoids Genesis episodes to watch. Yes, pathetic. But hey, i watched all of YAT Anshin! and enjoyed the hell out of that, so why not

back to work on the comic.
