"oh where do we begin, the rubble or our sins?"

[orangerful]

So many things to post about, but where to start?

We watched the Veronica Mars movie on Sunday night, in the comfort of our living room since I got the digital download as part of my Kickstarter package. I have...feels. Good and bad. Honestly, the show itself did not fair as well as I had hoped during the rewatch and I think those conflicted emotions effected my enjoyment of the movie. I think I'll just write up a longer post later because there is too much to say and I'm still sorting through it myself.

Since Tim was such a good sport about marathoning VM for the past two months, I've been letting him pick our evening viewing the past few days. I've now seen the Cowboy Bebop movie and the entire FLCL series (which is just 8 episodes). This is probably the most anime I have seen in a single sitting. I liked FLCL more than Bebop. Not sure what we will watch next. We also need to catch up on Justified. And I kind of want to rewatch Game of Thrones before that comes back.

And OMG tomorrow is the PSYCH FINALE! whoops, I think it's NEXT week, not this week. We won't watch it until the weekend because we usually watch together with Sylvia when she comes over. But talk about feels, on I KNOW there will be FEELS! Even for such a silly show, it will be hard for them to resist.

We went to my parent's last night for the grand finale of my birthday (and I wanted corned beef because St. Patrick's Day!!!). My Mom got me a Whovian cookbook, the Dollhouse comics, the latest Origami Yoda books, 2 Her Universe tops, and some instant chai. She also got me a dupe of the Beatles song book which I am exchanging, I think to get a copy of Frozen or Catching Fire...or maybe Adventure Time.

Speaking of shopping...oh I was WEAK...so weak. Entertainment Earth emailed me on Thursday, telling me that the Adventure Time Funko Pop figures were 30% off in the Daily Deal and...I may have ordered all of them. 10 figures. I did want them all though, I just didn't expect to buy them all at once but the deal was too good to pass up! They retail for $12, usually go for about $10 bu they were all $7-$8! SUCH A DEAL!

And now I'm going to start winding down because I agreed to go into work early tomorrow (usually I work 1-9) to help out with preschool outreach, so I need to be to the school by 10:30 to do a storytime, then go back to the branch, then I go back to the school again at 2pm, then I have manga/anime club from 4-5:30...somewhere in there I need to eat lunch...gonna be an exhausting day!!! But I am making taco dip (or taco ooblek as my mom calls it) for dinner, so that is my treat to myself. :)

Don't forget, I STILL NEED QUESTIONS FOR APRIL! Have fun with it! I don't mind - it can be personal or fandom related stuff. :D

FLCL is one of the videos "my" Anime Freaks requested when I ran the club at MTR several years ago--silly and fun, though not quite my thing. I love Cowboy Bebop, and suggest you try the TV series as I think it's better than the movie. The movie is more of a wrap-up or companion to the TV show. I'd say give it 3 episodes if you do try the TV series--you must see Stray Dog Strut as it's a lot of fun.

Yay for awesome birthday gifts!

I hope your outreach goes really well. Preschool is a cool age, though I admit I love babies and toddlers, and teens, the best. I think the kids will find you cool and fun, and the teachers will appreciate you going in and, I presume, doing some early literacy stuff and making it fun!

FLCL was just so odd. I just read the Wiki synopsis and I actually understood *most* of the basic plot but I feel like there was a LOT going on in the subtext that I was missing.

I need to see if BeBop is streaming anywhere.

Outreach was fun, even if the 2pm kids were HYPER! LOL. But we made it through. :)
