pacificpikachuDarn--I never wrote about yesterday. Oh well. We'll see if I'm more inclined to do so tomorrow. If not, um. Too bad.
I got my birds back today, plus two more! I thought they were all sparrows initially, but on further inspection it appears they're actually three different species. I think two or three are sparrows, two or three are...something, and one is a mystery bird. It's actually a lot of fun raising mystery birds because it's funny to see what they turn out to be and how quickly you can figure out what they are. Tomorrow when I have my Stokes bird guide again I'm going to start trying to figure out what the lone one is--he has most of his feathers in, so he'll be easier than the others, who have very few feathers so far. He makes a really strange noise, too--like rattling? Or buzzing? He's an insectivore of some sort (pointed beak), gray on top, spotted belly. He almost looks like a baby mockingbird in color, but he's sparrow-sized.
Watched Kure-nai and Macross Frontier (both episode 9) today. Macross Frontier wasn't anything super-special this week (I admit I was distracted, though, because the file kept skipping and I was more concerned with getting it to stop skipping than actually paying attention), but man... This episode of Kure-nai was really, really good. I think I like it just as much as Macross Frontier now, though they're utterly different types of series. Anyway, that Kure-nai episode was very emotional. I got a tiny, tiny bit misty-eyed during one scene even. It's interesting how much the series is about the roles of women in society, too--I wasn't expecting that at all when I got into the series, but it's cool how they have all these female characters in utterly different roles with different outlooks and relationships to one another. It's an interesting theme for a series of this nature to take on.
Still need to start Kaiba and finish more Kaiji. I'm really looking forward to Terra E, too, though I have to actually make room on my hard drive to download it first. >__> Man, and I still have tons of other things to watch. I'm waiting for KK to have time so we can finish Princess Tutu, I need to watch Mononoke and Baccano!, actually catch up on Vinland Saga, watch more Kare Kano, Turn A Gundam at some point... Also, must see Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo. The list is even longer, but I'm not going to bother you all with my prattling about nothing.
Tomorrow is going to be busy! I'm doing a big huge sales post on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
pkmncollectors tomorrow evening, so I'm going to be responding to comments, arranging payments, and starting to package things up. I just got this huge box of one hundred bubble mailers ($30 for all of these--quite a deal!), so I don't think I'm ever going to have to buy another bubble mailer unless it's something that won't fit (even then--that's what boxes are for). XD I feel like my room is a small business! Hopefully I'll be able to raise enough for Anime Expo... I already have some things plotted to raise even more money, though they require an initial investment, too. >3
I'm such an entrepreneur, haha. Next thing you know, you'll be seeing me on the cover of Time magazine talking about how I made millions selling Pokémon plush. XDThis is totally plausible, f-list. You just don't know it.
I think that's all for now. I've felt really happy and energetic all day. :D

Date: 2008-06-04 06:54 pm (UTC)I'm quite sure I will, too. I was waiting for it to be released on DVD, but I don't really want to wait that long now that there's a release date. :/ So I'll just go find a nice, high-quality sub of it, I think.

Date: 2008-06-04 07:00 pm (UTC)It really did! Murasaki's family is really messed-up. :/ I can't wait to see Shinkurou get her back from them.

Date: 2008-06-04 07:01 pm (UTC)Haha, I'll post a picture of him soon. He's really really cute and hilarious.

Date: 2008-06-05 08:46 pm (UTC)Everyone keeps telling me how amazing it is, so I think I'll go download it right now and watch it when it finishes downloading. :D The only reason I haven't seen it yet is because I was going to wait for the DVD release, but now that I know that's pretty far away, I don't think I want to wait that long. I feel even more obligation to see it because of Sadamoto's designs--I just met him and got his autograph eleven days ago, so that makes it more exciting!

Date: 2008-06-06 12:11 am (UTC)omg, I'm so envious! Didn't know he was in Fanime! Ok I just checked ANN and it turned out he did key animation for episode 27 of Gurren Lagann.
Re: late comment
Date: 2008-06-06 05:17 am (UTC)Wow, I didn't even know that! How awesome! :D Even more reason to be impressed by him! ♥
