NaBloPoMo Day 9- Christmas Sucks

1. I've figured out my budget for Christmas, and I'm extremely unhappy. Considering that I usually spend at least $1,200 (because I always SAY I'm going to stick to a budget and then never do XD)... with the paychecks I have coming up before the holiday minus rent and whatnot, I have about $400 this year. *cries* This is gonna SUCK. Probably there's two things that are saving my ass with this: One, I will not be seeing Akichan for at least a few months. So I can put off getting things for her until a bit later. :P Which comes to her advantage, obviously, since I'll have more money to spend on just her. XD Two, my mother's birthday is a little less than two weeks after Christmas. So again, I can do a birthday/Christmas thing with her and put that shopping off until after the holiday. ^_^;;; I was doing some calculating based on said budget... I can make it work, but I can't get the kinds of things I can normally pull off, which sucks. But at least it's something?

2. So I'm trying to cut down the "currently watching" list as much as I can- things that are still airing will have to stay there, of course. At any rate, Elfen Lied has been on that list FOREVER, so I decided I need to finish that (partially just out of determination that I WILL finish it, since Akichan predicted I wouldn't. XD). Honestly, the only reason besides the determination thing that I'm still watching it is that Nyu is absolutely adorable, but nevermind. Oh. And Lucy having Akira's voice? Completely brainbreaking.

There's also The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya that I've been meaning to finish for a long time. So my plan? Alternate Elfen Lied with Haruhi. Temper the blood and gore with complete crack. It might work. Or it might totally fuck up my brain. Something like that.

......Seems like there was something else I wanted to put here, but Kelly was yapping at me and so I forgot what it was. XD
