Sick and Tired...

Thanksgiving brought about stress... and germs.  Seems my relatives have super germs, I rarely get sick and Wednesday I just felt dead.  Noticed it coming on Monday with sneezing and extreme fatigue just by walking to my gym...  Didn't help that the great monthly started quite early for December and showed up in all it's glory late Monday night.

At least I got two things over with at one time.

Anyways... Onto the days!

Sunday ~ It was a slow day, We stayed home for the most of it and finally put the TV up.  Finally on top of the freezer chest it turned out to be quite the perfect fit for such a TV.
   Supper Was:  White Castle.


Monday~  Boring day.  At least with the TV and other items set up I could drag the Christmas Tree out. I swear that tree is out to kill me... putting it up and taking it down I always get little cuts all over my arms and legs.
      Once out of the box I had to check to see if the lights connected to the tree still worked... Guess getting a tree with the lights attached wasn't quite the smartest of moves. I was prepared to have to cut the lights off the top third of the tree and put normal string lights on it but..... A miracle.  Most of the lights came on all three sections, A few dark spots were easily fixed by using string lights to cover them up.
     Might be a little strange but I could just be happy with a tree of lights, no ornaments... The beads and ornaments will slowly be added of course but even now they are not.
    Went slowly to the gym, ended up feeling like crap once I got there but worked out anyways... Nighttime lead to sneezing and the evil monthly "friend" quite early.
     Supper: Home cooked Chicken/Cheese/Ham, Baked Beans and Avocado!

Tuesday~  Yep, I'm sick.   The bathroom faucet is leaking to the point of a stream now, It had been dripping since Spring and no one bothered to fix it even after being told three times.  "Next Week." They say.  Now they will be bugged till they fix it....
      Anyways,  Wild Eggs we went.  Blueberry pancakes for breakfast/lunch.  I actually would have rather just stayed home and slept but I went out into the cold...rain.  Main thing to drive me was we planned to see Harry Potter at 4:00.... Went to the Mall for a couple present buys and to kill a little time after food.
   4:00,  Harry Potter. I won't get into that right now.
    It got over later then I thought it would, felt pretty shitty afterwards and just went home..
    Supper; Don't remember, Wasn't much.

Wednesday~ Sick..... Cleaned the apartment a little. Didn't do much else...  Chinese for supper but not a lot of food for me.  Sink is still leaking.  >_>

Thursday~  Not feeling as bad as Wends.,  Dragged myself out to go to Cafe LouLous and then Gamestop to poke around for some PS2 games.  That was a fail.
      While we were out the Maintenance came over to "fix" the sink but, When we got home we found a note that they ordered a part to fix it and will ASAP.  Turns out while he was poking around with the basin he screwed up the pipes underneath.... The entire bottom cabinets were flooded with water.  Good thing we only kept one plastic box under there...
      An emergency call and a call back from Maintenance lead to a little tweeking and the "fast drip" seemed to quit.  Just in case, After the clean up we kept a bowl under the pipes and it's a good thing we did.  Checking the bowl before I went to bed.... There was a little puddle of water in the bowl.
      Supper;  Left overs.

Friday~  Cold, Crappy, Snowy. Stayed in most the day with the icks and cold.  Some cleaning was done and the maintenance guy never showed up to check in the pipes.  Guess it's a full weekend of dripping and leaks for us.  Oh well.    It really isn't -that- bad.
      Bought Black Butler 3 at B&N with a coupon plus the membership discount, Love knocking these down to below 10 dollars.
       Supper; Mr Gattis....  Not a lot though.

Saturday~  Taco Bell!  That's all I really have to say, I love their tacos. They are perfect for a sick person.. they make me relatively happy.  Some minor XMass shopping was done.
      Supper;  Hot pocket and baked sweet potato.
 

Oh wow...

I.... almost did it again.  I almost forgot about this place, It's the curse of all my blogs I just loose interest.

Delayed Weekly! If I can remember stuff....


Monday {22nd}~  Didn't do much, Went to the gym and cleaned the apartment. Beef burritos for supper.

Tuesday {23rd}~  This was a doomsday type deal.  Had to go rape my savings account 1800 out.... Gave dad 1k of it, 300 for XMass gifts and... We went and bought the new TV with the other 500.
     We decided to get the LG at WalMart since we know more about their return policy and it was cheaper there then most places. Before when we went there they never had any of the boxes set out but today when we got back into the Electronics area... They had two set out.  It was like they were waiting for us to take them home, had little handles on the top and everything.
     It was a quick buy, We walked in and grabbed the box. Took it to the counter and the guy rang us up and out we went...  After getting past the door guard I waited in front of the store for the dad to pull the car up. Into the backseat the box slid and....it... fit! No adventure or drama here just right in it slid.
     Seems we chose correct, Our little Rio couldn't fit anything bigger. We got the TV home and just checked on it, made sure the screen and such were fine...  Didn't have the space to set it up yet.
   Lunch Was; Tea Station.  Food and Bubble Tea!  The Passion Fruit Boba here isn't as good as the drink the now closed Taste of Asia had but it was "okay".
   Dinner; Leftovers.

Wednesday {24th}~  What are we doing for Thanksgiving.   That was the question of the day... Dad did his normal gym routine and I stayed home and cleaned/gym.  The TV was still snug in it's little box...
      When he got home from the gym he called up the relatives and... Yes. We were getting together at the Uncles for Turkey Day.  Good.   We didn't have to worry about food for the next day, Shopping at the grocery store the day before Thanksgiving wasn't what I wanted to do.... Hanging around relatives wasn't exactly something I wanted to do either but... At least it's free food.
       Supper; Bonefish!  Finally.  We had tried the week before but the car decided to take a sick day. BangBang Shrimp for five dollars is a very nice deal.  <3

Thursday {TurkeyDay}~  The morning started off.... quiet.  Asleep at 8 AM my fan suddenly stopped. This always wakes me up from even the deepest of sleeps... The power had gone out for some unknown reason. It's raining outside, That's actually reason enough with this power.
      Good news though; It only stayed out 15 mins so I just stayed in bed and went back to sleep.
10:30 AM; Time to get up.  Had to leave for the Uncles at 11:30. Yep, I was full of nerves....Relatives make me nervous and the questions make me feel sick.
      Once out of bed and into the living room... X_x  Oh look!  The TV is set up on a...speaker.  As long as it held I didn't care what it was sitting on.... it was so pretty.  My TV.... my big TV... 32 inches isn't big for some people but to me it was wonderful and it still is.  Bright screen just begging to have video games played on it....  I knew the dad couldn't stand just looking at the box for long.  Now I didn't even wanna leave.
      Uncles house; We got there at noon... expecting to see grandma but.. No grandma.. WTH.  Where's grandma!  Okay, Cousin went up to get her and the aunt... Long story short. Grandma wasn't feeling that well so she and the aunt didn't make it.  Cousin, Uncle, Uncles GF and Uncles GFs Sister.... That's who was there.. It turned out. Okay.....  Cousin was on her phone most the time... Uncle was fairly quiet.. Uncles GF was as talkative as ever....
     The awkward questions of what I've been doing all summer and why I never come up to visit... All of those were there.  No one up there knows I'm an unmediated bipolar with who knows whatever else... I held up fairly well.. didn't eat a lot.... Kept thinking of the TV waiting for me at home. hehe
     After we ate and talked a little we wandered up the road to the grandmas house, Pretty much the same thing there but without the food and less awkward... Stayed a couple hours then home we went!
     Home... Cheeseball and fruit for a small supper...  TV.    Turkey day wasn't so bad, I didn't feel as sick as previous years when I got home...   <3  TV.

Friday {26th}~  Papalino's for Lunch/Breakfast!  My favorite pizza.  Ordered two slices, One with Anchovies & Pineapple and the other with Chicken Sausage & Garlic Spinach.  First eaten there with the second brought home for supper.
     Had to find a "TV Stand" for the DVD player and other things that connect to the TV, A stop at Barnes & Noble for coffee and a XMass buy... then to WalMart!  It was later in the day so most the crowd from the morning sales were gone... The only area that was still relatively packed was the Electronics section. Had our TV gone down in price since Tuesday?  Nope.  Same price. Good.
    We found the stand pretty quickly and got out of there... Home we went. Was planning to go to the gym but we got home later then expected and it wasn't nice outside, So I stayed in and just had my second slice of pizza for supper...
      Pizza Day!!

Saturday {27th}~  Normal Saturday.  Havana Rumba for lunch... Coffee.... Store... Home.   We put the stand together... It went okay.  I swear dad and I get into arguments about everything... and most the time it's about something I was doing wrong.  -_-   Wasn't going anything wrong either it was just I was doing it different then what he'd do....
      In the end; We got the stand together but not quite right.  Which I find amusing because he was so pissy about getting it correct...  It stands up and holds weight so that's all fine.  I wouldn't put the TV on said stand though, The "wood" isn't very strong.  Maybe I am just paranoid.  TV is still sitting on that speaker, It's a super speaker.....
     Supper;  Leftovers.

Not late this time.

Sunday~  I didn't do my little roundup Sunday, Can't quite remember why but I think it was because I was talking to someone on MSN.  Then ended up going to the mall where... I didn't buy anything.  It was that pre-holiday shopping trip to just see if I actually wanted anything or got any ideas of things to give others. Did I find anything? Not really. 
     I did find that Santa Clause at the Malls over a month before Christmas was a little strange. Soon he'll be there in October.  :(
    Food Was -  Panera, The place we go when we don't really feel like anything else.


Monday~ What did I do?  I made cookies!  Also cleaned but that wasn't anywhere near as important as making cookies.  Did I go to the gym? Hell No.  I ate cookie dough.
     Food Was- Dairy queen double cheeseburger and steamed green peas.  Love their cheese burgers from time to time, Don't care for french fries though.

Tuesday~  This is where the week went a little sour, It was raining outside and our car must have been a cat in it's past life.  Trying to get to Chuy's for lunch the cars check engine light came on and it started to shake...and miss...and just do all kind of bad things that cars do when their angry with you.
     Somehow we got to Chuy's for a not so great lunch, The entire meal I just felt sick with worry about getting back home. Amazingly enough when we went back out and started the car it was like nothing had ever happened... the engine light was off and there were no funny noises or shimmys. 
     We got home.
     Supper?  Smoked Salmon cheese ball, crackers, apple and grapefruit.

Wednesday~ Car adventure part two, At least I wasn't in the car this time. Dad was driving to the gym when it went apeshit again.. same problem but this time it never stopped.  The weather wasn't even rainy this time but he had to turn around about five miles into his journey, come home and call the car place.
     They could see it Thursday.
     The broke car wasn't that big of an issue for me so, I just went ahead and walked to the gym. Supper had to be changed it was going to be Bonefish for the 5 dollar BangBang Shrimp but it ended up being the Deli within walking distance of our place.
     I won't name names here but this Deli has gone downhill on sandwiches, My Caesar Chicken wrap was lettuce and chicken... It was much, much more lettuce then chicken.  Kinda wondered who stole the other piece of chicken that should have been there... Asked for a few slices of tomato and the waitress just looked at me funny then hesitantly said okay.  The place will do for a pinch but it won't be my to-go place for sandwiches... Subway is better.

Thursday~ The car had an appointment at 7:30 AM, Dad being the morning person that he is was all good with this.  Triple A is really worth the yearly fee, The Fix-The-Car place charges 100 dollars a tow were the membership is around 132 dollars a year and that's 6 tows.... When your car thinks it's a cat 6 tows are good to have.
     Anyways, Something was up with one of the spark plugs and the coil that supplies the zap or whatever... Costs was a bit over 300 dollars.  Boo.
   TV Breaks, Car Breaks, Please no more breaks my bank can't handle anymore raping.
     The car got home before I even woke up so that's all good...  Went out to the Olive Garden for lunch. Car ran pretty well even in the rain, No sputters, No nothing.  I still get all stressed out while driving around though...
     Supper?  Cheese ball, Crackers, Apple and grapefruit.  Yes, Again.  Did I mention Cookies for dessert all week?  

Friday~  I was lazy, I cleaned but I felt pretty crappy so I didn't do a hell of a lot. Moved the living room stuff around so the tree will fit, washed dishes and just tidied up a little.
     Was a little worried about going out in the car again but, Went to BJs at the mall for pizza.  Medium, Half Anchovies/Pineapple, Half Pepperoni/Kalamata Olives.    I do not suggest the Anchovies or Pineapple here... The pizza is just too thick and tomatoes overpowering for the two flavors to mingle well.
     Car behaved itself, Which was good... didn't wanna get stranded out in the cold, dark night.

Saturday~ Queen of Sheba for lunch, Love their veggie dishes. This time the portion size was HUGE, No idea why it was so much larger then normal but leftovers were had.
     Even with the yummy food my mood was pretty much dead, I've just been overly tired lately and jut not into anything.  My drive has really been lost... it's like the same thing every week and with the weather changing to cold it's just going to get worse.  As always November thru Mid-March just sucks ass.
    The only thing I have to look forward to is getting the new TV, I'll finally be able to use my PS2 again which has been useless for the past four plus years...
      When I got home I did muster up enough motivation to walk to the gym....
    Supper?  Yep! Cheese ball, Crackers, Apple, Orange and half an Avocado....

Now it's Sunday, It's kinda warm outside... Going to head out to the Summit soon just to have something to do.  Oddly I do enjoy looking around at things that I can/could buy but when it comes to the buying part it's usually not that fun... sometimes I regret it later which is why I am so picky.

The rest I will leave for later.....

Otome Yōkai Zakuro 6 & 7

Episode 6~

Hanadate; I'm sorry for almost being eaten by the spiderlady, please take these cookies.

~ Zakuro is thinking about what the Black Widow said about her mother.
~ Zakuro asks Kushimatsu about her mother but she won't say anything yet.
~ Ganryu is upset about being useless against the Black Widow.
~ I feely type episode to "relax" from the Episode 5 Mission.

The Twins Story;  Bonbori and Hoozuki were kept alone in a dark cave when they were much younger. A woman from a nearby town would from time to time bring them food and clothes. They were told not to leave the cave during the day and not to approach any other humans.
     One day the woman stopped comming, Night after night they would search the forest for her but she was never found. The one day a man showed up at the cave, a very angry man yelling about how they were the reason his wife was killed.  As he was trying to kill them with a garden tool {rake?} they ran from the cave into the daylight...running and running one of them tripped and fell. This trip allowed the man to catch up to them and just as he was about to kill them, Kushimatsu saved them. {Not sure what happened to the man.}
      Kushimatsu took them to meet Zakuro and Susukihotaru, They were taught to talk and read... During the time in the cave they didn't even realize they could talk... ;.;  
       They explain to Ganryu how they didn't want to have to hide in the background while they lost someone they loved again.

Episode 7~   Zakuro goes to meet Agemaki's parents, Posing as his "assistant" and as a human.  It's also revealed why Agemaki is afraid of spirits....

This is Tae, She's apparently one of the servants that work at Agemaki's familys home. She also seems to have a bit of a crush on her "Young Master."

Agemaki's father doesn't particularly care for Half Spirits so... Zakuro ends up having to hide her ears the entire time.

Kumiko, Agemaki's little sister.

Agemaki's father...

Zakuro has dinner with Agemaki's parents, sister and their cat... Nearly the entire time his father is ranting about the spirits.

Now, Why is Agemaki scared of spirits... When he was younger he woke up to one in his room and is scared, Crying he runs to his dad who scolds him for being scared by a spirit and that's pretty much it.  What makes it even worse is his cat suddenly vanishes and everyday for a long time he looked for it...

Turns out that the cat was the Youkai that he was afraid of, When cats are loved they turn into cat demons. Now that Itsue is a demon Agemaki can't see her....  Zakuro can however and she gets Itsue to turn to her little demon form for Agemaki...

When they are leaving Agemaki's mother pulls Zakuro aside and apologizes for her husbands behavior... She can tell Zakuro is a half-spirit... 

Turns out Kumiko can see Youkai.

I really hope next week it's back to battles... this character stuff is getting a little boring.

Star Driver 7

The beginning part of the episode was pretty slow, Takuto staring out the window with Sarina comming up to him and noticing that Wako and Sugata were not in class.  Did something happen? 

Flashback to Wako kneeling beside Sugatas bed crying... Takuto silently watching from the bedroom door. Takuto have you heard anything?  Nope he's still in a flashback.

Dazeeee

Wako leaning her head against Takuto's chest crying, talking about how Sugata apprivoised to protect her even though it could have killed him. Teacher interrupts his flashback.... he has no idea what the question was.

The Glittering Crux Brigade is having a meeting, They of course know the Kings Pillar was used the previous night and that Sugata finally apprivoised Samekh. Now the question is, Is Sugata still alive?  They must find out!!

With the situation being all Undines fault it is left to the Ivrogne to figure this out, Undine is apparently part of the Bouganville Squad {Where do they get these names..}. Ivrogne/Keito goes to Undine and tells her that she will be the next to battle.....

Back to the school, Takuto gets a pep talk from Sarina. Seems he's feeling like a third wheel and isn't sure where he stands in the whole Wako/Sugata situation. She convinces him that he is important to the both of them and blahblahblah, He goes running off to find Wako...

Takuto runs into Wako's grandma when he gets to her place..  When did you receive the Tau mark?   About a year ago.    Takuto seemed surprised at that question.  Wako's in the cove.  He gets permission to go see her.  She's been there praying for Sugata all day.... A little talk, a bit embarrassed since she's naked and...

Battle Time.

Undine is apprivoising, When their all teleported to Zero Time the unconscious Sugata is also transported there in one of the little bubbles. This battle really doesn't last long but, Undines cybody can "swim" under the floor of Zero Time.  During the battle a stray blast strikes Sugatas bubble and pops it... Sugatas body falling .. Takuto dives and...catches him.

Sugata wakes up!  Everyone seems surprised, Even the Crux members. Undine goes in for her final attack and...Fail.   With a quick exit to the real world Takuto and Wako quickly haul ass over to Sugatas house {Once Wako puts more clothes on.}. OMG, Sugata's not in his bed...where is he?  Oh look another Kings pillar he must be outside.... >_>

Go Grandma!

More Fish Girl story.

Back to Sugata, He's standing in the middle of his Pillar made crater and three Crux members are there courting him with the position of first section Emperor... Sugata just seems dazed and Benio {Pinky} takes advantage of this situation and goes in for the kiss. {Her first phase is to control any man by kissing them} Takuto shows up... Sugata still seems a bit dazed out...and.....WHAM. Takuto slaps him. 

That probably wasn't a good idea, Sugata snaps out of his daze and they both notice the Crux members still lingering. Sugata raises his arm and they run like hell.....  Wako shows up.   Is this just a happy,happy reunion? Nope. Sugata is not happy about the slap.  Not at all.

Looks like Sugata may end up being a bad guy, Maybe he won't.... Everyone seems to be predicting he will and that will just be too easy.  Odds are Pinky did do something to him of course...   This episode really makes me wonder, How the hell did Sugata wake up?  He was in Zero Time, He fell out of his bubble.. Meh. Somehow I doubt they will ever tell why he woke up but.. Who knows.

Sorta looks like Sugata may be fighting Takuto in the next episode...

Vice Prez!

Cookies!

Just what a Monday needs... Cookie Dough!

Yes, That's right. I made Chocolate Chip Cookies Monday.  Of course making these cookies took a couple hours and I didn't get to the gym like I was supposed to but... eh.  Mondays suck so cookie dough makes most things better.

I was really tempted to just keep it at the dough stage but... I'm the only one here who likes to eat it that way.  Of course these were made from scratch ....

From the same recipe my mother use to make them from when she was alive.  That sifter sucks BTW, My dad got it for me when the other one with the crank handle died..... I won't tell him it sucks but it REALLY sucks.  >_>

I never know when to take them out of the oven and with how the oven spikes in temps it can be an adventure....  11 Minutes tends to do it.

It's supposed to make 7 Dozen Cookies.... Those cookies would be very small. 

33 Cookies!!  Their tasty too..... heh...Gods I am gonna get soooo fat.

My hand mixer.... I miss my stand mixer but it crapped out a long time ago and I'm cheap and won't buy a new stand.    <3 That's my pink spatula too... heh. I have strange sentimental items.





This is Late...

Well, I was going to post this on Sunday but... I didn't feel like it.  Here it goes....   


Monday~ The start of the week is always bad, It wouldn't matter what I had planned it'd still be bad. With that stated it's no wonder I never really do anything on Mondays.  Just the normal, Cleaning up from the weekend and washing clothes that can't be laundered. Since it was actually warm outside, It was walk,walk,walk time.  I'm gonna miss the warm days...
       Supper?  Penne with homemade marinara sauce and garlic sticks

Tuesday~  Wasn't such a Meh day, Woke up and just hung around till noon then we went out for lunch at Cafe MiMis.  I always get the same thing at this place, The turkey pesto sandwich. Costs 10 dollars but with half the sandwich leftover for supper it's worth the price.   Everyone seems to come here for muffins but honestly, I don't like their muffins.  Got a free sampler box once and all of them were just so-so...
     After eating we headed over to the theatre to see Megamind, Not in 3D however the theatre has suspended it's discount Tuesdays until after the Holidays {Boo} and when they do bring it back the 3D prices will be the discounted normal ticket plus three dollars.  Good thing I don't NEED to see most movies in 3D,  For some I will fork out the 8.75 though....
     We were almost the only people in the theatre, Two women came in just as the movie started and a woman with five kids showed up a little into the start.  The kids behaved themselves thru the whole things but the mother was a bit annoying... what's up with using your cell during the movie.. rawr.
     Anyways, The movie itself was "okay".  Was a bit predictable in most cases but I wasn't really expecting Metroman to be alive.  Hearing the reasoning behind his faked death it was understandable though.... The dork turns superhero turns villain and the villain turns hero and gets the girl.   Entertaining but, Probably not a DVD Buy.
    After the movie, Michael's, Kroger, Home.  Supper the leftovers from lunch plus sweet potato fries. How I love thee sweet potato fries.

Wednesday ~  Yes, I finally went to the gym.  Yeeeeeeyy, Go me.  Still warm outside so had to take advantage of that, Don't get a lot of nice days in November.  Weights, Some walking then outside walking.
     Supper?  Homemade chicken with crab rangoon.  My stomach paid dearly for the crab rangoon but damn we make them better then any restaurant.

Thursday~  Day was pretty good, Still warm outside.  Taco Bell for lunch, No idea why but I love their tacos. It's great that their 99/89 cents, they don't upset my stomach and they are just yummy in general. A biggest plus about Taco Bell is... Not having to worry about Cilantro!
     Best Buy then WalMart came next, Had to look for a new TV. Found quite a few "maybes".... with how indecisive I am this may take a while. The idea of being able to play my video games again without any problems is actually quite exciting... Of course I may have to buy a new SNES so I can play my Zelda again but that shouldn't cost all that much.
     Supper?  A hot pocket and ranch multi-grain Pringles.  First time for the ranch, they are actually quite good.

Friday~  Gym again, A little outside walking as well.  Just a lot of messing around per usual.
     Supper was fun in ways, Ordered from Papa Johns for Carry Out  {Damn you delivery fee}.  About ten minutes after the dad went to get the pizza I heard the doorbell ring, Thinking it was probably a Jehovah's Witness or something I took my time getting to the door.  Open the door... It's a Pizza Dude.  After exchanging some confused expressions he finally spoke up "Did you order a pizza?"   "Ummm" I said and he said my address and I then finally said...... It was supposed to be for carryout and the dad just went to get it.
Heh, So the pizza went back to Papa Johns... The guy should have just left it here since when he got back there the Manager just gave it to us for free.
     Yey!! Free Pizza!!  The price even with the coupon was going to be 17 dollars with the delivery fee tacked on.  If the drivers got the fee it wouldn't be a big deal but, I have no idea where the fee goes. 2.25 for one pizza is a bit much... Guess it's just the luxury but the place isn't even a mile away so Carry Out FTW.
     Heh, Yes... My life is a real bore with this situation being entertaining for me.

Saturday~ Normal Saturday, Not a lot happening.  Went to BDs for an overly stuffed lunch and then off for some coffee drinks. BDs took the duck off the choices which was a little disappointing so shrimp and squid it was....
    Took a little tour of the Big Lots near the coffee joint, That place still amazes me.... so much stuff in such a little space.
    Only thing out of the ordinary, I went to the gym! Yes... second day in a row and on a Saturday even. Have to take advantage of 24 hour access sometimes.  The weather was cooling down and I got rained on but, It was worth the shower.  Main icky thing about this time of year, 6 PM is pretty damn dark.. the walk home was rainy and dark...very dark... Must find the flashlight next time.
     Supper?  Ham and cheese hotpocket and ranch pringles, I may be addicted to hotpockets now.

Now,Now,Now, Next Sunday I have to do this... it feels odd on a Monday.

Star Driver 6

We get more plot and a cliffhanger.

First Phase Abilities;  Abilities the "pilots" can do while in the real world.  The first phase may not be limited to physical abilities as Kanako talks about her complexion and her business sense could be her first phase. Not even Takuto knows what his first phase is and I'm sort of curious if that will ever be revealed, Since he seems to have entered into the situation in Phase 3.

Sugata, Quiet Sugata.  Turns out his cybody is the "King Cybody" and his first phase is known as the Kings Pillar.  He cannot leave the island due to the possibility of using his first phase, Once he does apprivoise and use this ability he will fall into a deep slumber and never awaken.  At least that's what all the other pilots of the King Cybody have done....

Lil Sugata is a cutie.

To the episode... Takuto needs to go get his watch fixed so Wako decides to make a day out of it. Going from place to place she tells him about Sugata and the King Cybody, By the end of the day she admits that she used him to celebrate Sugatas birthday. {Since he hates his birthday due to finding out about his fate.} Wako's about to call it a night when Takuto decides it'd be a good idea to go to Sugata for Wako to give him his birthday present. Denied at the door Takuto and Wako end up outside Sugatas home and Wako starts to sing for him....



Who are you stalker girl!!!!

The whole time the two of them were out they were being stalked by some strange blonde girl, Where did she come from? No idea.  She's some random baddie who has one freaky first phase that she can't even control...  

In the middle of Wako's song she and Takuto are attacked by {Blondie}Undines first phase, Unarmed the two of them run and.... Cat Maid and Bunny Maid to the rescue! {Sorta} Sugatas maids show up, Seems they are much more then maids. Attacking Mermaidoll they only hold her off for a little while before Takuto has to intervene, Taking up both their swords he semi-defeats Mermaidoll though before they know it Undine completely looses control and... all hell breaks loose. 

Enter Sugata.  The Maids, Takuto and Wako are no match for all the Mermaidolls so... the only choice is..

Yep, He used it.  The quiet ones always have such power...that was one hell of a first phase. Hope they figure out a way to wake him up...

At the end it's found that Takuto's birthday was the same day as Sugatas... So many more questions now.

Ore no Imouto 6

It's Halloween! 

And this episode is dedicated to Kyou's relationship with his childhood friend Minami.  Up until now she's really not had much screen time, This certainly took care of that.

Minami's family runs a Japanese Sweet shop and their doing a special Halloween treats deal, Kyou goes over to her house to try the sweets and ends up staying the night.  The best part of the episode has to be her grandparents, They are seemingly bent on getting the two of them together... from encouraging to take a bath together, moving their futons into the same room next to each other and even telling them they should just get married all ready.  How much of it is joking? Not sure. hehe

Strange Grandpa...

Odd grandma too...

Brother is kinda doofy, Dad {?} got little screen time.

What was Kirino doing this entire time?

Stress Relief? >_>



Meet her new Pillow



I wonder how Kirino and Minami get along, Kirino didn't seem too pleased that her brother was spending the night at Minamis...

I suppose next week will get back to the normal storyline but, This episode turned out to be quite amusing...

Star Driver 5

Vice Prez!

Episode 5 ~  Quick, Easy Rundown.

~ The school nurse {Okamoto} is Professor Green of the Glittering Crux, Her Cybuddies ability allows her to reduce her age.  With this ability she's been stealing a mandrake love potion from the science lab and using it as an adult, shifting her age back a few years and dazzling the boys around the school as "Hina" the new girl.
~There have been earthquakes.
~ Nurse Okamoto has a thing for pretty boys, Tsubasa an "honorary" member of the Drama Club her early in the episode was injured and sent to the nurses office is not effected by the potion.
~ Nurse Okamoto trys for Takuto who all ready realizes what's going on with Wako's knowledge of the Cybodies abilities. He pretty much shoots her down and asks her if she realizes that her age shifting was causing the earthquakes and that the Volcano on the North Island could erupt.

Enter Mecha Fight.

Takuto Vrs Professor Green.

Green's cybody is equipped with a precog machine allowing her to see three seconds into the future, She's really beating the crap out of him until....

She turns on fan service mode....  She must have modified this herself or something. What sort of fighting machine has this?   As she's gazing at Takutos sculptured body she leaves herself wide up for his attack and she looses.....

Doesn't really turn out all bad for Nurse Okamoto, The next day at school Tsubasa comes to the nurses office... turns out that he has a bit of a crush on the nurse and she seems to be all for it!!

Keito: Did he hit you while you were checking him out?

Keito: Is that really what happened?

Okamoto:   So what if it was?!

Keito: Nothing wrong with it.  You were impressed and caught off guard.

             



Star Driver 4

Spent a good part of the Drama Club meeting watching the Vice President, I love that little fox. Takuto also meets the schools headmaster and it seems that Tiger {blue haired girl} likes Sugata.

Wako's thoughts are a little..... strange but I'm more then fine with that. hehe.

Anyways, Back to the show...  It was a bit on the slow side.  A Glittering Crux members attempts to use Tigers love for Sugata against Wako and Takuto. Of course it fails in the end and seeing that Tiger can't pilot a Cybody there wasn't even a Mecha fight this round.

-Wako and Takuto wake up the morning after the Drama Meeting to find themselves alone.
- They have a heart to heart on the beach.
- Wako wants to be a singer but she can't leave the island with her maiden seal intact.
- Seems Wako has a cybody too somewhere.
- They figure out someone is using a cybodies illusion ability.
- A badie cybody appears, Tauburn is summoned as well but the bad one just vanishes.
- Tiger can't pilot a cybody so she ends up being useless.
- Wako and Takuto go back to the normal world.
- Tiger wakes up at the nurses office.
- Takuto got to hear Wako sing, Yey!  Fish girls song is better.  >_>

It's Sunday....

Well, It's Sunday again.....

Last week was seven days of ups and downs, That tends to happen a few days before the dreaded time of the month.  Sometimes I really hate being a female....

Monday; What can I say, It was a Monday. Should have went to the gym but didn't, Had to hand wash some of my clothes and clean up the apartment.  Actually ate chicken and rosemary garlic red potatoes at home.

Tuesday;  Taste of Asia is gone, Booooo. With absolutely no warning they just up and vanished. {Their facebook is even gone.}This wasn't actually a surprise since their food was right there in the average range, I could probably make the food better myself.  The thing that makes this so bad?  Since Bubble Cup closed Taste of Asia was my main place to get Bubble Drinks.  RIP Lychee Smoothie. 
     With ToA gone we ended up back over in Norton Commons at the Tea Station. I must say their food is far,far superior to ToAs was but...  They don't have Lychee Bubble Anything.  Their Coconut and Taro Boba are so far the best.
       After food/drink I remembered to go vote and since the polling place was close to the gym, I bobbled over there for a little work out.  Supper? Leftovers.

Wednesday; Mehness, Gym and that's basically it.  Supper was actually a hot pocket and sweet potato fries, Go me for eating in a second time in one week.

Thursday;  BJ's Hot ham and cheese sandwich is an amazing comfort food, I'm sure it's also one of the most unhealthy lunch options but...OMG the bread is scrumptious.  They even let me replace the evil tomato bisque with minestrone.  I love Minestrone soup, BJs having one of the better ones. Olive Gardens is okay, Spaghetti Factory's quite good, Carraba's is more like a cabbage soup then Minestrone but it's tasty as well.
        Went to Borders with a 40% off coupon, Bought the first Card Captor Sakura Omnibus.  I know I said no more manga other then Finder but, Passing up 40% off a 20 dollar Manga would be nuts.
           New rule? Two Manga a month.

Friday;  Pretty crappy day, Felt achy and terrible all day. Knew what was coming and it did, That time of the month always sucks. Had sausage and mushroom pizza for supper, Perfecto Pizza has yet to totally fail me.  Their anchovies totally suck but the other toppings have been pretty good.  After was B&N, White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake.   <3    Sure we have a Cheesecake Factory here but, It's cheaper to buy slices of their cheesecake at B&N and the CF food sucks anyways.
        Friday was freakishly cold for November.

Saturday;  The TV died.  It died last winter as well and we had it fixed at a TV shop for like 100 dollars.  The first time was a slow death, it was dying for a couple weeks before it finally stopped working. This time? The screen went black.  Turned it off and back on, stayed on for like five minutes before going out again. Still have sound, No picture. Won't be worth it to get it fixed again, Just gonna have to wait and use the dinky backup TV until we can afford a replacement.
         Went for Fish Tacos at a local place, Dragon King's Daughter or something to that extent. Wonderful food, Very unusual food too.    No left overs. :(
       Checked out the Fresh Market as well, Didn't bother with any of the free sample specials since the lines were huge.  The place is a lot like Whole Foods just not as big, The cookies were cheaper then WF so I tried a Kitchen Sink, Sort of like WFs Jumble Cookie but it wasn't dry and brittle like the last one I got at WFs was.  Bought some Pork Potstickers for supper, 15 for 6 dollars.  Quite cheap, Only ate five last night so these will be breakfast for a couple days as well. They aren't as good as some I've had out but... for the price and convenience I can't complain.

Now,Sunday....... I feel crappy. Can't really use Pamprim or Midol since they put me to sleep for some reason, Even the ones with the caffeine.  The time change last night was nice, Gave me an extra hour to watch Being Human.... but now it feels like 3 and it's only 2.  -_-
       Maybe I should just curl up on the couch and sleep the rest of the day.

Otome Yōkai Zakuro 5

Episode 5 ~   Wow, This episode was even better then the last one.  Bonbori and Hoozuki were very impressive, I really underestimated those two.  When they first explained their powers as being petal magic it seems a bit lame but once the episode was over.. OMG.. they might be more powerful then the other two.

       The mission of the day was;  Security for the Military Gala.  There's a woman who lures men into private, turns into a spider and killed them.  A Black Widow.  Zakuro has some strange infatuation with Lt. Hanadate, I think he's a shyster in disguise.

       Well, The four girls have to wear western clothing for the gala... I have no idea how they fight in them. The people at the gala were more then rude, they really should have let the spider woman eat them all. Two males even went so far as to try to touch Zakuro's ears and made fun of them... annoying men. Meh.

       As I said before, It was a twin episode basically... Zakuro and Agemaki had their moment as did Susukihotaru and Riken.  The hooded figures showed up again and attacked Z/A and S/R while Bonbori, Hoozuki and Ganryuu were trying to take care of spider lady.

She's gonna eat chu...

      The black widow supposedly targeted Hanadate and lures him into her room at the Gala, We find out that when the magical petal the twins were using to track the women at the gala are destroyed the twin who was using the magic at the time is injured. 

     When the three finally get into the room they find a huge spider web with quite a few dead bodies, Ganryuu turns outs to be pretty much useless against the woman turned giant spider and the twins have to take care of it.  Bonbori fights the spider woman while Hoozuki protects Ganryuu, In the end the spider woman turns out to be too much for just one of the twins to take but Zakuro shows up just in time to kill the spider and save the day.  {Is it me or are 2 out of 3 of the males just useless so far?}

        While the spider woman is dieing she mentions Zakuro's mother {Tsukuhane}  You'll soon learn the truth about your mother and yourself, Is pretty much the jist of the last words...  I'm a bit sad that this series is said to be only 13 episodes long..
