OMM: today certainly happened alright... I'm not saying I'm salty, but I'm pretty salty I have cake though, so all in all it's not too bad I guess -------------- OMM 2: I can 't belie ve -- my cake. . .. . I was eating it because I'd been looking forward to it ever since I woke up a little bit ago and it tasted weird and i looked closer and I think it's moldy I looked at the other ones and I think they're moldy too and their expiration date's not until tomorrow and i'm in a different state so I can't even go in and get a refund and complain and i've only been up two hours why is this happening I especially brought these back because there's no bakeries in my new town and because the oven in my house hasn't been reliable I can't make anything in it either but my Monday's just off to a really great start otherwise though

Seitokai Yakuindomo ..I didn't like it very much. I'm not above dirty humor in any way, and in a sense, I can appreciate the candidness of some of the jokes, but it got predictable after a while. Gundam Thunderbolt Don't particularly like the art style, but whoa what a nice start. I wish it had been longer than 18 minutes. I'm currently in the middle of the early UC stuff and all the things I've seen came out in the late 70s - late 80s, so seeing something that's set in that time period, but is recent is really cool. I like how it's focusing on grunt soldiers too since those guys were largely overlooked in 0079 and Zeta. I hope the next episode won't take horribly long to be released. I've heard it'll only be 4 episodes so I wonder just how everything's gonna play out from here too.

OMM: "11F, 18mph winds, feels like -6F" I don't like this Maybe...? Not having enough time to check, or finding the news too depressing to regularly keep up with is different than finding it boring, or not feeling the need to know anything about current events. It's just weird to me that some people intentionally avoid the news all the time. The news has been saturated with stuff regarding the presidential election, but it's been fairly quiet regarding the mass immigration. However, with what happened in Cologne, that might change soon, so maybe you'll want to start checking up again.

Ie Naki Ko I wanted to take a break from Gundam and I was deciding between this and Oniisama E. Oniisama E seems like it's going to give me Kaze to Ki no Uta vibes, so I went with this one since it's unlike anything I've previously seen. It's from 1977, has 51 episodes, is rated G, is based off 1878 novel Sans Famille, and it's just... sad. There's not really any other way to put it. The art style and animation is very charming and quaint, but dear lord in terms of what's happened, this is terrible. So Remi's an 8year old living with his mother in small village nestled between some mountains in central France in the 1870s (or around there). His father, Jerome, whom he's never met, works in Pairs, and sends them money a few times a year. One day, Remi and his mother receive word that the father's been injured and that his employer refused to pay any of the medical bills. After many months of scraping together what they have, the father tries to win a lawsuit against the company, and unsurprisingly loses. Disabled, bitter, and without much more than a dollar to his name, he returns to his wife, and much to his displeasure, Remi too. Remi overhears Jerome and his mother talking when they think he's asleep, and he finds out he is not his mother's biological child and was brought home after being found on a doorstep (presumably a hospital's or orphanage's doorstep) in Paris by Jerome. Despite this, Jerome now views Remi as nothing but a mouth that he cannot afford to feed and subsequently treats him very coldly except for one or two instances. After many unsuccessful attempts by the mother to persuade her husband to accept Remi, Jerome later goes behind her back and sells Remi to a traveling entertainer for 40 francs (I did the conversion and that'd be about $115 in today's USD). The story then follows Remi as he now travels with his new owner, guardian, parent, or whatever you want to call the man that bought him. I'm not that far along yet, but judging from what I have seen and from the short reviews I've read, this show involves a lot of things not going right for Remi and Vitalis, the traveling entertainer, and is incredibly bleak for a children's show. Remi's the epitome of innocence in the first few episodes, and it seems like this anime's going to end with the kid just completely and utterly messed up. I love character development, especially for tragic characters, but he's so little. Every time the camera zooms out and shows Remi walking beside Vitalis and you can see just how much physically smaller than him he is, it just kills me a little bit because this does not seem like one of those stories that's kind to its characters. I don't know if "excited" would be the best word to use, but I'm looking forward to continuing on with Ie Naki Ko. It doesn't seem like the sort of thing you'd want to watch a ton of in a short period of time due to just how heavy it has been and has the potential to be, but it seems promising nonetheless. I hope it'll live up to the expectations the first few episodes have set. watching this not too long after finishing Gundam 0080 War in the Pocket was probably not that great of an idea now that I think about it

I found out there's music specifically made for cats That statement would be concerning in a very different way if I didn't know you don't have your license yet.

interesting documentaries

Early automata the pierrot ecrivain ones are probably my favorite, but the Jaquet Droz one that can actually write is a lot more fascinating and puts my handwriting to shame

OMM 1: I don't know what it is about January exactly, but I feel lazier than I did a week ago OMM 2: it's still weird to me that some people don't watch the news every day or even at all there's so many different things constantly happening and changing, yet so many still brush it off as "boring"

And then if you can even fall asleep, you have a good chance of waking up and feeling less rested than you did originally

I wish it to be a good music year

I have a very distinct memory from when I was 2 or 3 of the exact moment I realized that "Grandma" was actually two different people who just went by the same name. And I just remember sitting there in the backseat of our one car being in complete awe because I had to be the most special kid in the world to have two grandmas and not just one. I just couldn't believe it haha

Fantasy Life 's been pretty fun so far

OMM: "[5 Hours] Best of EDM 2015 (New Year's Special)" ..... well, it's not like I have anything to do tomorrow anyway, ,, ,, I'm in the same boat. Hopefully you've at least got a good amount of control over some of the things that are going to happen over the year too or just... best of luck, man haha I hope things will start picking up on your end! The year starting out on a bad note probably doesn't help any stress you've got :/ Maybe things'll start calming down soon

Yeah, that's getting up there. Hopefully your dog will be around for a couple more years though And thank you! She's much bigger now, but she still acts like a kitten haha

Cats are a pretty big responsibility. If you already have a dog, it's understandable why your parents don't want another little furry thing to take care of. Maybe you'll be able to get one in a couple years though
