1. BG reveals are up. This was... well, it certainly wasn't my best round, but it wasn't my worst, either. Which is kind of sad. *shrug* That's what happens when I wait until the last minute. I meant to comment on everything too, but I just... didn't get around to it, and when I got home from work tonight I really didn't feel like reading. I'll get to it. Maybe over the next couple of days.

2. Still haven't gotten an e-mail back about the apartment. Bah.

3. Finished Kuroshitsuji II. I can honestly say that I definitely liked the first season better, to be honest. I kind of feel like they should've just left it at season 1. Just... eh. It felt like the whole point of season two was fanservice and to milk the series more. But mostly the fanservice. Which I wouldn't mind, except the first season wrapped up so nicely that the second confused things unnecessarily. Plus as I said before, shota is definitely not my thing and they were pretty heavy handed on the Claude/Alois, even if it was one-sided sometimes. Seems I'm not the only one- season two gets a lower score on MAL than the first, and there's a significant difference between their listed ranks. I should probably read the manga at some point.

4. I haven't quite decided what I'm watching next- on one hand, I should probably work on the stuff that I've had on hold forever (Bleach, FMA Brotherhood, Hellsing, Hetalia, Naruto... XD) On the other hand, Lish has been trying to sell Fairy Tail to me. Heh. ^_^;;;

5. On a related note, SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I just found out that Hourou Musuko has started airing! *flail* Must. Find. Subs!!!!!

6. It's almost 3am and I'm roughly 300 calories below where I should be as a MINIMUM- but I'm not only not hungry, but nothing here even sounds remotely appealing. And I really don't have the money to be shopping until Thursday.  I'd make macaroni and cheese, but by the time that would be done, I'd be ready to go to bed. Meh. Maybe I should drink some soda or something. Mmm, empty calories. Probably I should just leave it alone- it'll balance itself out over the next few days, I'm sure, and it's not something I'm in the habit of doing. Really, what I want? I've been craving fish of all things the last few days. And when I say fish, I mean the breaded and fried crap. I don't even like fish all that much- it's okay sometimes, but it's not something I usually seek out. Weird.

Edit: Cut for slight TMI of the female kind. )

-Pulled together a few of my favorite Chi eps (the ones I remembered, anyway) and converted them for my phone. My thinking is that if I'm having a really super shitty day at work, I can sit down on my break and watch a little Chi. With the exception of certain episodes, Chi has never failed to put a smile on my face when I needed one... I probably should've done something like this AGES ago.

-I saw a listing for an apartment share on craiglist that looked like it might be promising, depending on certain factors, so I e-mailed the poster with some questions. Hopefully this will work out- keep your fingers crossed, guys! :D

-Holy shit, I'm just under five minutes into Kuroshitsuji II and oh my god, I'm already not sure if I can watch this. ;~; I think that's a RECORD.

Also, this season is a lot more subtexty, isn't it? The first is a bit, but I always had the impression that Ciel was more asexual than anything. Alois, however... man. Shota is so not my thing.

-Baked my first thing that was a flop. Cupcakes again, but this time I tried putting a piece of cookies and cream candy in the middle of the cupcakes... eew. Though I'll admit that cookies and cream isn't generally a flavor I'm particularly fond of to begin with. I'm still going to bring them into work anyway- as I've said before, SOMEBODY will eat the damn things regardless. On the upside, I won't be tempted to eat them. ^_^;;;

- This probably speaks of my ignorance as an American, but I had no idea that the melody of "My Country, Tis of Thee" was stolen from "God Save the Queen." I was watching Kuroshitsuji and they started singing "God Save the Queen," and I was all "O_o Those aren't the right words." XDDD Faaaaail. In my defense, I've never actually heard it before, so, yanno.

I did finish Kuroshitsuji last night, by the way. Just... wow. It was very good, though I'd have to say that my biggest beef with it is the violence. Eeew. There was one scene in particular that wasn't violent, but just completely disgusting (let's just say it involved a character touching something rotting and just.... eugh. *shudder*) Now to watch season 2, which apparently has a higher rating than the first because of the violence. Yaaaaaaaaaay. XD

- According to current calculations, I will reach the savings goal by mid July. Sooner than I thought, honestly, but it still seems very far away. Either way, though, the sooner I get that taken care of, the sooner I can concentrate on other things.

- Also I hate February. It -always- screws me over monetarily because it's a short month. Pfft. Reminder to self, will owe $50 to savings because I can't do it this week plus pay rent plus, yanno, eat until next Thursday. Unless I live off of cake. While I certainly have enough mixes at the moment, that wouldn't do my waistline any favors, that's for sure. ^_^;;;

- Speaking of food, I made this lasagna recipe in the crock pot. It's good, though I'll definitely be making tweaks of my own (less meat and water, lots more veggies :D). Still. Yay, I can make something with the crock pot besides macaroni and cheese! Best part is it's not a million calories! \o/

- Working on that ten songs that make you cry thing, but it's understandably difficult. Especially since I don't cry easily, either, so there's not a lot of them to begin with. I have four so far. XD

Edit: Also, pretty new layout from [livejournal.com profile] fruitstyle . :D Going to take some getting used to, I think, but it'll be worth it.

-Taxes: Done and sent. They didn't seem to take as long this year, which is a good thing. I'm getting back $1065 between state and federal, which is getting transferred to my savings account as soon as it hits checking and is going to almost double what's in savings by the time I get it. Yaaaaaay!

-I'm more behind on the writing journal than I thought I was. I was looking everywhere I could think of and making up a list of stuff that needs to be posted, and I found a bunch on the external hard drive that's never seen the light of day. A lot of unfinished fics and bunnies, but some finished and ready-to-go stuff, too. Weird. On that note, I'm going to be trying to update that... obviously not all at once. Maybe one or two a day or something, to make it as painless on that flist as possible. On the upside, some of it's going to be new to you guys? :D

-Found out today that Hulu has Kuroshitsuji- subbed- yay! It's been forever since I actually watched something new, anime-wise. That being said, I did watch the first episode... this one's kind of creepy, isn't it? :/

-I'm gathering up a list of fic that I owe, too. Which, sadly, apparently doesn't look that much different from the last time I posted an owed list. Guh. I NEED TO WORK ON THIS STUFF! I know I have bits and pieces of some of these somewhere- like I seem to remember having Phoenix's half written. It's just a matter of figuring out where they ARE.

What I still owe, which is entirely depressing considering how old some of these are. D: )

And on that note, it's bed time for me. Night all!
