I'm sure I didn't eat broth today

First things first. I revamped my domain despite the fact I haven't worked in any sites forever. Mostly because it had been so long with the same layout and most images were broken and that's sad. So here it is, a little dull but at least it's clean and a fairly good practice to some CSS3.

If I ever get less lazier, I'll make the avatar-ish image in the sidebar a random image of fandoms I like. And maybe make skins in different colors. But so far it's enough as it is.

Fandom-wise, I haven't been up to a lot of stuff. I've kind of been really active on plurk but mostly because a lot of friends from the RP are over there. I've been limiting my time on Tumblr because it's a fucking black hole for visual magpies, but I still check the dash and update my blogs at least twice a day.

So, new anime season! I'm only following Natsume Yuujinchou San in all seriousness. And I'm still watching Tiger and Bunny despite of the flaws, because the characters are so engaging. From the new shows, I checked two so far. Mawaru Penguindrum is hella weird and you can fucking tell the Utena director is behind it from any moon of Jupiter. I don't know how I feel about that shit beyond EEEEEEEEEE THE PENGUIN MINIONS EEEEEEE squees, perhaps I'll keep watching because it's so going to be this season's memetic trendy mindfuck show. Which is kind of the reason why I watched Madoka. I also tried No. 6 and I got bored from it. I have no idea what else to try, but then again I should retake some of the stuff I started on previous seasons anyway. Suggestions are welcome, still.

Now some live-action. I finished Pushing Daisies and it was cute and quirky. I also spent some days watching particular episodes of the Ten era of Who that my friends recced me. I have some other series and movies downloaded, mostly comedies or mythology butchery or cartoons, so I have issues deciding what to watch next.

I tried Assassin's Creed 1 while my family was on a trip (home alone as the catsitter FTW) and the 360 controller + too many moves scared the shit out of me. So I ran off to play Okami in my beaten PS2 instead because I'm lame. And I missed it badly. I also have too many stuff in my gaming backlog that I don't retake for some goddamn reason.

ETA: I did buy a HDD in the end. It's a 1TB electric blue WD which I named TARDIS.

I'm not following much this season (still watching too much from last season), just Natsume and Usagi Drop... but UD is probably too slice-of-life-y for you. It's like Yotsubato! but not nearly as good and/or qwirky. Although it's nice so far.

I dropped Mawaru Panguindrum already, I distrust this kind of series lol. And I didn't even try No. 6 because it's BONES and I NEEEVER FORGEEEEET haha.

Also! Your domain looks great! I haven't touched mine in forever, the layout is from 8932 years ago, ugh.

Ps. uhm, I'm not sure about this rec, but what the hell! Have you tried Nichijou? It's the latest KyoAni series based off a (mostly) 4-koma series. It's like a slice-of-life ON CRACK. It's got a plethora of insane characters, ridiculouss random humour and a talking cat. The character designs are perhaps too cutesy (I like them though), but man the whole series has amazing animation/direction (and some trolling).

I don't know, it may not be your thing, but I'm seriously in love with it atm~

I accidentally read some spoilers for the Usagi Drop manga and I seriously don't want to even check it anymore. I'll stick with Yotsuba. I tried Nichijou and I didn't even laugh once or liked anyone in particular (the cat was neat, but I couldn't stand the robot and the professor skits?) so I'm not sure I want to watch further. Sorry about that, but thank you for the recs anyway <3
