my moral standing is lying down

Waaah~ so busy at work lately!

Last night I think I got home at like 9pm, which is pretty amazing! After work, I went to Angelica's to do some typing for Joe, but I ended up taking it home instead of doing it there. I have to remember to do it tonight! But I got Lisa's yummy homemade dinner instead. =D

When I got home I was inspired by the unusually clean state of my room and the "early" hour, so I decided to do taxes! Yay! Of course, when I was only halfway done, Maryann came home and then we talked for like 2.5 hours. So I was only able to finish Maryann's and my federal taxes. State taxes are next!

St. Patty's was pretty cool -- after Japanese class, Judy and I met up with her coworkers at a bar in the East Village. I really like Yee and Vitaliy ~ they're lotsa fun to hang out with! Also, have discovered that I like tequila shots. =D

Sunday night I watched the first couple of episodes of Initial D over with Judy (who hadn't seen it before) and it has re-awakened my love for that show. I never did finish watching Fourth Stage, so I really want to get back to that! And I should check to see if any more of the manga has been scanlated 'cause I think I was up to some volume in the high-20s. The manga is just sooo good. <3

I just realized -- I leave for Vienna in a week and a half. OMG, WTF am I going to wear?! I think I need to go shopping this weekend. No, what am I saying? I have no money. =/

...so, what's up with you guys?

Yesterday was Liz's last day of school (except for two finals, Friday and Monday) and she wanted to hang out with someone, so she asked Maryann to come over. As a result, both Liz and Maryann were waiting for me when I got home. ^^; We went out to eat and pick up my mom from the train station, dropped her and Liz off, and then drove Maryann to the bus. It was only 9pm, but I was eager to get home so I could watch anime.

God, that stuff is more addictive than [insert addictive drug here].

Liz and I watched 5 more episodes of Initial D Fourth Stage; so we have 10-14 left and still waiting for 15-16 to be released. And it's so good -- another series they insist on being stingy with. In total, it's over 50 episodes, but you can tell that they have to cut some things short in order to fit them to the season episode limit. =( Poo.

After Ini-D, Liz went to sleep. But I was still awake and craving anime. So I ended up watching 5 episodes of Wild Striker. Although definitely not as intense and driven as Whistle! was, it's silly and good. It also has over 30 episodes, so I suspect it will pick up in intensity after a while. I don't like so much the two other players who you know are going to become good friends with Kyousuke and star players of the team, which is odd. Maybe I will get to like them more later. Another part of the "intensity" factor is the presence of extraneous characters. This is what makes it more comedy than anything else, so far. In Whistle, there are barely any characters other than those either part of the team, or those playing against the team. In WS, there are some characters that are part of the setting, but don't really have much to do with Kyousuke's training (which hasn't really been touched upon yet anyway).

::sigh:: It just comes down to the fact that it isn't as intense. But I do like it, and I should have no problem continuing. Which reminds me that I have to remember to search for episode 32 to dl off of IRC or something (apparently all the versions of episode 32 that are available via bittorrent are corrupt). Angelica, you have to email me the website or tag of the group that subs it.

On a side note: these LJ tags are cool although I'm somewhat annoyed because it's kind of what I tried to do with the memories function a year or two ago, but it just got too much to keep track of. And I'm kind of anal, so I hate to just start using it now without adding tags to all of my posts, but I don't really want to go back and add tags to 408 posts (even though that's not many compared to some)! ::coughSharoncoughSparcckcough::
