February

Well, it’s been a while since I’ve written, hasn’t it? And, so as not to give you the impression that I’m leaving Blogger for good (so many readers would be heartbroken, I know), I’m using my two-hour delay to type a little something up.

So…It’s February in New Hampshire. Although we are supposed to be having some nasty weather for the next few days—which means more missed school—you can tell that the year is getting on; it was still light yesterday at five, or it would have been if it hadn’t been for the cloud cover. The narcissus which provided me with so many good photo opportunities is wilting, and we have a glass bowl of daffodils instead, which I haven’t had the heart or time to photograph yet. I better soon, though, if I mean to at all, because I don’t think they have a very long life. They provide color for that corner of the room with their bright yellow triangular petals, but they don’t smell nearly as good as the narcissus did.

I’ve also been watching more anime, and, since I’m getting my sources entirely from the Megatokyo website they’ve all been very shoujo. My favorite so far has been School Rumble, because it’s so entirely random. Mind you, aside from a few 1- or 2-minute short episodes on the website, the only exposure I’ve had is on YouTube, so the episodes I do get are all from different time periods. And last night I admit I watched way too much Shuffle, which is to say I watched it at all: it’s this very highly improbable and sexist story about this guy who has five girls—all incredibly cute—crazy over him. Yeah. It must be something about…about…well, I really don’t know why I watch it at all.
