Changes like the fall leaves

Today Dad and I spent quite a while house-hunting, as a few weeks ago, Dad (at complete random) decided our apartment we're renting is "too small". (For the record, it's 1000 square feet--fairly big for an apartment.) Anyway, most of the houses we looked at were duds, but the first house we checked out...isn't bad. The location is perfect, the property is perfect, it's a very reasonable price, and the house is nice but just needs to be remodelled a big to get it with the times. It has this really sweet elderly couple living in it, and...well, you know how elderly people can be in regards to their decor. This house appears to be stuck a bit in the 60's, but really, some fixing up and it'll be beautiful.

So, Dad's thinking about buying it. Our realtor is really nice--she's known Dad since they were really little kids. This is really funny, because that was in the bay area, and we're three hours from the bay area, so the chances of finding an old family friend you haven't seen for thirty or forty years is minimal.

Anyway, Dad, Wendy, Emily, and I ate dinner at IHOP. There's not much to say about that.

I did quite a bit of homework this morning, but once I got it started, it was (as usual) not nearly as bad as I always think it's going to be. Even an essay that I put almost no thought into was relatively painless.

After house hunting and dinner, I sat down and watched six episodes of Honey & Clover. Can I stress again that I'm completely in love with the show? Really, I adore it immensely. It's so...emotionally real. It was weird, because when Yamada was talking (or, rather, thinking) in episode 19 or 20 about some things, I swear I've thought the exact same things as she has. Same goes for some of the other characters, and it's just very eerie and soothing and nostalgic at the same time. That show gives me major shivers, which is always high honors. When I get shivers in awe, it means something really touched me/amazed me/changed my view on something, so...yeah. I'm so so so glad there's a sequel, because I only have four episodes left and I don't wanna say goodbye. T_T I hope I never forget this show, because it awakens something in me I don't think any other anime has. I think it's snuck into my top ten favorite anime.

Also, Morita came back and reinforced my great love for him. *Snerk* He's so lovely and strange and amusing. I want him now. XD;; I LOL'ed when I found out his real job. Actually, I LOL'ed at him a lot in general.

I'll probably finish the show tomorrow, and then have to torrent Honey & Clover II. Tabi-kun's being a little weird about torrents, so I'm going to have to figure out what his deal is. XD;; Otherwise, he is excellent and perfect. I still have to design a character to represent him.

Well, it's getting kinda late... I'm either going to stay up sketching, playing Gameboy, or...uh, I don't know, just go to sleep.
