effex* I am moved! It took us two weeks to do it, but Saturday we packed up everything the movers didn't move, scrubbed the place down, and handed in our keys. It was exhausting. I'm so glad my dad insisted on coming down with the truck (and then calling my sister and her BF to help us unload) because there was no way we could have done it ourselves (I tried to talk him out of it - 'no, Dad, we'll be fine - it's only a car load or two.' HA.). The new place looks like an exploded storage unit but at least everything's there. Unpacking's going to be a pain in the ass.
* And then a friend came over and the three of us (me + friend + roommate) mainlined the last three episodes of Doctor Who and the SEASON FINALE. DOCTOR WHOOOOOOOOOOO. I am thrilled with the way things went down - it was a quiet season and not everything got wrapped up or made sense but. Everybody lived. No one got screwed over/had their memories wiped/got trapped in an alternate universe. Amy and Rory got married! And then got right back in the TARDIS!! I was shouting 'YES! TWO SEASONS, FUCK YES! MARRIED COMPANIONS!' at the screen by the end. Which got me strange looks, but whatever. We got to keep Rory, we got more Amelia, River's growing on me, Eleven was adorable. I can't ask for more. Also, (coconut) rum & coke continues to be my Doctor Who viewing beverage of choice. Yum.
* I've been watching Natsume Yujincho (for free! legally!) on Crunchyroll and enjoying it thoroughly - it's perfect for watching an episode or two before bed. It's a quiet, slow moving show about a boy who can see yokai and is just... sweet and occasionally heart breaking.
Crunchyroll also has a bunch of Korean, Japanese and Chinese dramas up - my roommate's been moping about the summer TV doldrums and I'm hoping to tempt her with Coffee Prince and I Really Really Like You.
* There are days, especially in the summer, when I curse my decision not to drive (There are cities where you can easily be a pedestrian-for-life. Dallas is not one of them). But then I tuck a little more money into my savings account and continue to not have driving-in-the-city panic attacks. And I feel better about it.
* A heads up: Seven Seas is putting out an omnibus of Hayate x Blade in November, collecting the first three volumes. It's roughly 50% off and release of future volumes depends on how well it (and the single volumes) sell, so if you've been thinking about picking it up (and you should!) now's a good time.
