I thought you'd already read/watched/whatevered Ouran! I'm surprised to hear this. I tried the first episode of Madoka but I'm having a really hard time getting past the squished faces in the animation. I dunno, it bugs me. Uhhh mostly I've been rewatching really old classic anime, like Sailor Moon, Utena, and NGE. (Outlaw Star is next!) I'm afraid I haven't done anything particularly interesting otherwise, or gotten into anything interesting, but I am SUPER excited for Brave oh my gosh.

I did watch Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai when it was airing, and if you haven't seen it yet (I can't remember) I would recommend it.

Also ugh, I will be happy when this year is over and we have a hopefully healthier year. My grandpa's cancer is doing well, at least? It keeps coming back, but it hasn't spread or gotten worse, and he's adjusted much better to treatment. Double ugh at working. No job for me lately, out in the middle of nowhere, but I'm going to try to branch out further and see if there are any jobs worth the gas money after Christmas.

And I will check out aather at some point!

...You know, I might have, but I picked it up late last year at the very earliest, so not that long ago. The series only properly finished a few months back, anyway. Aaaand I read all of Kimi no Todoke. A-all of the feelings.

Never heard of that one; I'll check it out. I also want to look into Michiko to Hatchin as per a friend's recommendation. I also still need to watch Paprika.

That's something, at least! Hopefully things get better.
