I have finished Ranma 1/2! I will have the review for you first thing Monday morning. Today I am going to finish up some work, find a nice titanium wedding band to replace the crappy band I bought 10 years ago, then spend the evening with my husband at a Demetri Martin concert. Just a bit of a breather before jumping back into the review cage. I'll probably need it.
Almost finished!
Unfortunately, my daughter was sick yesterday so I didn't get a chance to catch up on any of my geeky things. She is doing better today and, as a result, I should be finished Ranma 1/2 by tomorrow. I promise that I will not get sidetracked looking at Medical Transcriptionist Jobs and wondering if that would be better than my current job. I will finish the special and have a review ready by Monday. I hope that Paradise Kiss will be better. It's not good when I don't want to finish a show. It makes me procrastinate.
Super Lame
I am super lame. I didn't finish the Ranma 1/2 jdorama over the weekend. Partly because I'm not really liking the special, which is depressing me. Instead, I spent the weekend celebrating my daughter's bowling trophies. She bowls in a Saturday morning league and received two trophies. Her team finished in first place and she had the high series. Of course, now I kinda want to bowl too. My husband used to be in a league but he hasn't bowled regularly in a long time. However, my mother, my stepfather, my sister, my sister's boyfriend, and his mother all bowl together on Thursday nights. I feel a little left out. Granted, I teach Zumba on Thursday nights so I can't bowl with them but I could join a different league. I want to say that I'd do my own thing, like blues guitar lessons, but then I'd still feel left out. Oh, decisions!
I have decided!
I have finally decided what jdrama I am watching next. I knoew I said it was going to be the Paradise Kiss movie but I am putting that off for a little bit longer. Instead, I will be watching the 2-hour Ranma 1/2 live action special. I love the Ranma 1/2 series and movies and I can't wait to see if the live action special lives up to it. (Sorry, I never saw or read the Paradise Kiss anime or manga. I'm only watching it for Kitagawa Keiko.) I am going to be starting it today at lunch and I'm hoping to have it finished by Monday. If I really get into it, I might finish it tonight. Who knows!
January is here!
It seems like it's been forever since I've updated. But now the holidays are over and I can try to get back to a semi-normal life. On the j-drama front, I have the Paradise Kiss movie ready to go. After that, nothing. So it's time for suggestions! Is there a series that you absolutely loved that I haven't watched yet? Or is there a series that you hated so much that you need my validation on how awful it is? Let me know! I'm up for watching anything!
In other news, I am now teaching Zumba four days each week so I don't have tons of free time. Don't worry! I'll still find some time to play games or watch crappy TV shows. It just might take a little while for me to find it.
Happy New Year!
JDorama review: Sasaki Fusai no Jingi Naki Tatakai
The only reason I watched this show is because I have never seen a drama starring Inagaki Goro and I wanted to see what his acting was like. Since this is a comedy, I can forgive the blatant over-acting. It actually goes with the theme of the show quite well. Sadly, it is my beloved Koyuki's character that is difficult to swallow. The writers tried to make the main characters very different people. Norimichi is a responsible clean freak while Ritsuko is an irresponsible slob. When I say slob, I don't mean she is a little messy. If Norimichi doesn't clean up, their apartment is almost floor-to-ceiling trash. While I understand that it is supposed to show how different they are, I really don't think anyone could put up with Ritsuko's sloppy ways. However, in the end, I was interested to see whether they would get divorced or stay together. I'm just glad there isn't a sequel.
The State of Me
I wish I had things to talk about. Unfortunately, December is more than just the regular holiday rush for me. It's also my busiest time of year at work. Needless to say, this doesn't leave a lot of time for the fun things in life. There are only two and a half more weeks of the month though. Hopefully things will slow down again and I will have more time to have fun. I am almost finished my current jdorama. There's only one and a half more episodes left. I'll try to finish it next week. Thank you for your patience!
So far behind
Things have been really crazy lately. So, as an apology, I am giving you the teaser for season 2 of Game of Thrones.
Ah, weather
To complete my crappy week, it has been raining for the past two days. Of course, that means there is a lot of flooding in the area. Luckily, our basement doesn't really flood so I don't need to go shopping for goulds pumps. On the other hand, it is December and the temperatures are dropping. That means all this rain is supposed to be turning into snow sometime today. I really hope that it doesn't. The roads are slippery enough without having to add ice and snow to the mix. Go away winter!
