Trudy, can you correct my spelling in your tag? Because, swear to donkey, I can spell Tijuana correctly (even if I never do) sometimes. KThxByeBBQ!
I WILL talk about the boy more, see if I won't! Ask Debet and Cassie, this can go on and on and on...

You were saying?

I think I have to stop being so annoyed by the whole Danicamania thing. I mean, she's a chick in a car and decently good. And people got interested. So the coverage was all Danica, all the fucking time. It bugged me.
Now Juan Pablo Montoya is going from winning the Indy 500 and open wheel championships in the U.S. to Formula One and winning the World Championship there to NASCAR. So he ran his first race today in a lower series (ARCA) and I am watching it. Pretty much only because he is there. And I am appreciating the coverage. He led the first several laps and is second now, so the coverage is warranted to a degree but I feel the need to say a few Hail Marios and figure out what a racing act of contrition would entail because I am all over this Juanmania even though I should think it is wrong.
Oh, and they interviewed him yesterday and he is learning NASCARspeak. So freaking cute in his Columbian accent with naming all the sponsors and all.
I have felt awful for several days. So tired of this. Headache should really go away cause it is the worst of it and I can't tell if I am sick, depressed or both. Well, I know I am not *just* depressed but I can't really figure out how to carve up the blame and, in theory, try to get better. Stupid body. Migraines, PMS, IBS and general aching are just kicking my ass entirely.
Do I feel isolated and turn to the internet for like-minded friends or is the 'net sort of perpetuating my sense of isolation. If I find what I need here, why should I reach out more in meat space to find people to talk to? I honestly could not answer those questions.
I couldn't answer them either.
vw, I'm glad you said what was going on AND apologized.
This. The opportunity was there to just not say anything.
I wasn't around for the conversation so I can't really say how / if I would have responded. I can pretend to guess but I can't know.

I'm thinking of doing up my kitchen in red and chrome. Did I happen to mention that?
I'd love to know what sucked you in, btw. I remember getting pulled in very quickly myself. I'm not exaggerating when I say that this series
(eventually) filled the fandom void left by the passing of the Mutant Enemy shows.

So I suppose an old school chrome toaster (with all the modern buttons, of course) would not look out of place. Will this do?

I wanna know what happens, damnit. CN is only up to Episode 5.
Edit: What sucked me in? The Hollows being
former
restless
souls.
And the snark.
Oh, that's lovely. Very lovely.
The print version and the animated version follow each other quite closely, and they're pretty far along in the print translation if you want to get a jump on the story. I do recommend going out of your way to avoid spoilers, because there are some marvelous HSQ moments ahead.

Hee. I have no idea what
Bleach
is, but it looks like we're both hooked on anime lately! Mine's an American anime, though:
Avatar: The Last Airbender.
It's very fun. And Nickelodeon isn't giving me enough episodes a week, dammit!
Anne, I edited my post above to answer your question.
How did you get pulled in before the U.S. broadcast? I mean I wouldn't have known about if you hadn't pointed it out to me. It's a whole other world which I know nothing about.
Sunil, do NOT give me more TV to watch. I'm out of hours in a day as it is.
Maria, I got hooked through the print version, which came out well ahead of the anime. Then, it was a matter of tracking down ahemmed subtitled versions of the anime.
Edit: Yes on both things you mentioned. Very much yes.
This is only mildly spoilery (character who you've not met), but here's something to look forward to.
Aw, thanks again for all the birthday happies. You guys are wonderful.

This came up recently with my shrink. Which actually kind of pissed me off. I have a shrink to monitor my meds and a therapist to deal with day to day living. As long as I'm happy with the proportion of live/virtual relationships, it doesn't matter what that proportion actually is. It's when I'm unhappy that I need to figure out why and how to fix it. When I first went to him, I was unhappy. But, I was unhappy in both places: live and virtual; I felt isolated from both. Now, I'm happy and the point is moot. I am happy with my amount of online time and happy with my actual meat space interactions. My shrink, though, seems to think that even though I have meat space friends here that because they are people I know through work it isn't good enough. And, even though I can go down to Chicago anytime I want to visit folks I met through the internet, it isn't good enough. I have to find new friends in this location that are totally unrelated to either! Bull. Shit. Besides, he only prescribes my meds, I've got a perfectly good therapist to go to with my fears and, trust me, I've got them and she's heard them. We're working on it.

Lemme guess: a Rogue Soul Reaper? He doesn't quite look as buttoned-down as Rukio.

Got that right! Also, insent.
