Let's go for a ride.

Random stuff:

I got a couple of DVDs from the library: Alien Vs. Predator and Speed Racer Collector's Edition Volume 1. Alien Vs. Predator i saw in a theater, but my sister made me want to see it again. Speed Racer was the second anime i ever watched as a kid (after Battle of the Planets). Yes, it's old school, and pretty crappy, but it counts as anime. Its influence helped to twist and warp me into the thing you see before me today, so it's important to me. Plus the Mach 5 is still the coolest car ever invented. I really had to get the Speed Racer DVD(s, the second one is on hold) from the library, though, because Darla kept singing the damn Speed Racer song over and over and it just planted the seed.

Speaking of movies, i watched Nana. Good movie, if only to be able to look at Mika Nakashima for two hours. (Click and click.) I'm considering going to see "V For Vendetta" sometime, too.

And speaking of anime, two of my favorite series, Samurai Champloo, and FullMetal Alchemist have now ended, and Ghost In The Shell: Stand Aloine Complex, 2nd Gig is ending soon. After that, there is no anime i watch regularly still on tv (unless you count Pokemon and Naruto, and i don't). It's going to be weird to not have really good anime that i look forward to watching on TV regularly, unless something new is coming on soon. I guess i'll get to watching the rest of Fruits Basket and Chobits.

I sent a package today, and i kinda feel like cleaning off the bookshelf in a bit. If i get that done, too, i'll feel like maybe i sort of accomplished something today.

I woke up with Utada Hikaru's "Traveling" stuck in my head, so i'm listening to that on repeat, and i'm going to listen to Japundit's 14th Podcast after i post this.

Pearl pasta makes me oddly happy, especially if it shares a bowl with croutons.
