I have finally decided what jdrama I am watching next. I knoew I said it was going to be the Paradise Kiss movie but I am putting that off for a little bit longer. Instead, I will be watching the 2-hour Ranma 1/2 live action special. I love the Ranma 1/2 series and movies and I can't wait to see if the live action special lives up to it. (Sorry, I never saw or read the Paradise Kiss anime or manga. I'm only watching it for Kitagawa Keiko.) I am going to be starting it today at lunch and I'm hoping to have it finished by Monday. If I really get into it, I might finish it tonight. Who knows!
January is here!
It seems like it's been forever since I've updated. But now the holidays are over and I can try to get back to a semi-normal life. On the j-drama front, I have the Paradise Kiss movie ready to go. After that, nothing. So it's time for suggestions! Is there a series that you absolutely loved that I haven't watched yet? Or is there a series that you hated so much that you need my validation on how awful it is? Let me know! I'm up for watching anything!
In other news, I am now teaching Zumba four days each week so I don't have tons of free time. Don't worry! I'll still find some time to play games or watch crappy TV shows. It just might take a little while for me to find it.
Happy New Year!
The State of Me
I wish I had things to talk about. Unfortunately, December is more than just the regular holiday rush for me. It's also my busiest time of year at work. Needless to say, this doesn't leave a lot of time for the fun things in life. There are only two and a half more weeks of the month though. Hopefully things will slow down again and I will have more time to have fun. I am almost finished my current jdorama. There's only one and a half more episodes left. I'll try to finish it next week. Thank you for your patience!
So far behind
Things have been really crazy lately. So, as an apology, I am giving you the teaser for season 2 of Game of Thrones.
Ah, weather
To complete my crappy week, it has been raining for the past two days. Of course, that means there is a lot of flooding in the area. Luckily, our basement doesn't really flood so I don't need to go shopping for goulds pumps. On the other hand, it is December and the temperatures are dropping. That means all this rain is supposed to be turning into snow sometime today. I really hope that it doesn't. The roads are slippery enough without having to add ice and snow to the mix. Go away winter!
It's a bad bad week
This week is turning out to be awful. My car wouldn't start this morning. My husband had to drive me into work so I could spend the day fooling around with the reporting engine. (Ooh, fun.) I'm afraid to see what will happen tomorrow. I really hope that my car get fixed by then. It's December and I have a metric ton of stuff to do. I can't afford to be waiting around for my car. Someone send me some good juju!
I want summer back
Despite my best efforts, winter is still coming. For some people, that means skiing season. My mom and my sister used to ski a lot back in the day. They even had their own Black Diamond Poles. Personally, skiing is too cold for me. I spent that time in the lodge with some hot chocolate or shopping. For me, winter is a time to hibernate and wait for the warm weather to come back. I'm ready for you to come back summer!
Hot Tub Wishes
After a very long day, I am pretty sleepy. I wish we had a hot tub I could relax in or a nice indoor pool with pool heat pumps to keep me warm. I don't want it warm enough that I'd fall asleep in it. Just enough that I could relax and get a bit of stress relief before heading to bed. Alas, I don't have a heated pool or a hot tub. I'll just have to make do with a hot shower, even though it's not the same.
Cleaning Suggestions
Does anyone have some good suggestions for cleaning stainless steel sinks? I happen to be working from home today because my daughter wasn't feeling well and I noticed that my kitchen sink is pretty gross. I think I heard something about using steel wool on it but I would hate to scratch up the sink if I misremembered or something. Oh, and I don't want to use anything that will hurt my animals. Not that they ever get into our kitchen sink but that is where I fill their water bowls and wash all of their food bowls. So it can't be something harmful.
