Marmalade...

We got snow over the weekend. A pretty decent amount of it, though it was no blizzard. Next time I operate a snowblower, remind me to try and figure out where the choke lever is.

Anyways, Marmalade Boy Collection 3 and Princess Tutu DVD 1 arrived on Monday, along with more snow. After getting some extra shoveling done, I sat down to watch more of the former. Even though the series is over ten years old now, it's become one of the strongest of my most recent obsessions. I sat down late Monday night, and basically watched 12 episodes with little break, including rewatching one of the episodes with commentary. I had to stop myself from putting in the third disc and marathoning straight through that too. (And trust me, I would have done just that if I had started it.) That kept me occupied until around 4am, and I didn't sleep until an hour later. I tend to be wired after a marathon of a show I really like, regardless of how late or how sleepy I am.

I had planned to finish the last seven episodes in the collection off in the daytime, but as I got home from campus, I got a call from work asking if I could come in. I got a lot of hours cut from last week, and I hadn't been able to make it at all on Saturday because of the snow (and the store closed early anyways), so I decided to come in. So I picked up MB when I got back, marathoning seven episodes and once again rewatching one for the commentary. That took me to about two hours ago, where I did a quick scan of the Princess Tutu extras, but didn't start watching the show. I'll do that some other day.

And here I am, two hours later. Still kinda wired. No caffeine either.

I actually don't drink many caffeinated drinks. I don't drink coffee unless I'm in an office. I like tea but I don't usually drink it unless I'm at a restaurant. Aside from those two, I don't think we have any caffeinated drinks in the house at the moment. We have some 7-Up, A&W Root Beer, and Canada Dry Ginger Ale currently. Carbonated, but not caffeinated. You'd think with all the Mountain Dew and Coke I used to pratically live on that I'd be completely addicted. Nevermind when I actually drank coffee at work. (It's not my style of coffee unless the sugar content is far higher than the black content.) Nope, not showing a single sign of addiction. I think. Not that caffeine has ever had a big effect on me. I could still fall asleep immediately after downing a two-liter of Mountain Dew. (Coffee is a different beast, however. Especially with all that sugar.)

That paragraph was completely random. To quote the King of All Cosmos, "Woo, tangent."

Yeah, I think I'm going to try sleeping now. Have to get to campus to see if I can get instructor approval to switch one of my classes, then to more extra work hours, since I was called in and asked to work more hours at work. Friday is still the last day.

I'll be leaving for New Jersey to visit family Saturday morning, to return sometime on Sunday. Probably night. I'd better finish installing stuff on the PS2 before then. Need to install Puzzle Bobble, Rez, Gitaroo Man, and a couple other things still. Haven't even started installing all the pop'n music yet.

Yeah, sleep is good.

Hi jack! It is the highlight of my (whenever) to read your latest entries. I wonder why you can't talk about yourself but you tell the whole world your life! It's 10 percent cute and 90 percent annoying. People like YOU, not a screen with words and anime pictures. Uh, that's not you! But I didn't do this to nit-pick, I did this to support you and such. I know I'm probably just an ex-co-worker to you but I was hoping to get to know you better and be a part of your circle of friends. (That sounds gay as shit, but come on! I have little choice on that one). So......uhhhhh........despite the numerous times I've asked you about any love interest, it appears you've been hiding an "Allison" from me! You sound so cute when you talk about her. It actually warms my heart. You should introduce me to her. I PROMISE I WON'T ACT WEIRD OR TEASE YOU! I'll treat her like a customer. (That I like). And uh I'm actually trying to think of extra shit to say to you but I'm like drawing the biggest blank. So I'll end it.
