Libera me, Domine, de morte æterna, in die illa tremenda

I am utterly insanely exhausted from last night's squee-fest. After watching AnD episode 8, I was all hyper and didn't go to sleep until 2am. And then I woke up late this morning, and blaah. I'm dead to the world.

I also "finished" the Special A anime (I use quotations as I skimmed the last two episodes because I was dead tired. I'll watch them properly tonight). It ends a LOT differently than the manga. Not bad different, but different none-the-less. I love how Hikari almost confessed though, and how she couldn't say Kei's name! So cute!

And now I'm in an obvious dilemma. What. To. Watch.

I think I want another jdrama, preferably something awesome and ridiculous, and just GOOD. Then again, due to my high on AnD, I doubt many things could measure up right now. Maybe I should go with a tragedy or serious drama next.

So in the serious category;
Sekai no Chuushin de, Ai wo Sakebu
Ryusei no Kizuna
Kou Kou Kyoushi (1993)
A Love to Kill
All In
Silence
Lavender

Course I could drop the list altogether, and do something different. But right now, I want something to make me cry. The last one I seriously cried during was Summer Snow. So yes, I want something Summer Snow-esque. In that case, maybe Sekai no Chuushin de, Ai wo Sakebu...

I'm just rambling now...

One of the bosses at my work recently had a baby. I'm basically the Vice President of the social committee, so I got the job of picking out baby gifts for him.

So tonight I drove to Babies R Us (baby superstore) to pick up some gifts. And OMG I nearly died from the cuteness of that store! In particular, there were these tiny itty bitty booties that had doggie faces on them! I was so entranced by the store I ended up spending more money than they had provided me. Whoops! Thing is, I'm not a kid person. My siblings are all a good deal older than me, and I was an aunt for the first time when I was 7 years old. Having lots of screaming kids around me all the time had a negative impact on me.

That being said, I LOOOOVVVEE babies! They're so small, and cute, and soft. Screaming babies are no fun of course, but I'd take a screaming baby over a screaming child any day.

Anyway, Lost was, as always, entirely amazingly perplexing, but kick ass. I'm STILL waiting for Boone to come back (mmmmmm Ian Somerhalder). It could happen! Hell, Ana Lucia appeared! So did Walt! I was devastated when Boone and Shannon died. They were my favorite characters.

Btw, I'm not blogging it, but I am totally watching Kou Kou Kyoushi 2003. I HAD TO after reading darkeyedwolf's spectacular pimp post. Btw, for future reference, this show is EXACTLY MY TYPE OF THING. Exactly (um, angst, fucked up people, forbidden relationships, psychos, violence, manipulation... yeah, my thing). I'm 3 episodes in, and holy shit do I love it. It's making me a nervous wreck, but I love it regardless! I'm in love with Takano (I still don't know his name (Fujiki Naohito, thanks wiki!), and will call him Takano for the rest of my life), freaked out by Fujimura, girlcrushing on Hana and Beniko, and utterly amused by Narimiya Hiroki (who is a goddamn psycho).

Holy shit, it just occured to me that the dude who plays creepy pedo teacher Fujimura is the same guy who, in Anmitsu Hime SP played a hilariously effeminate samurai with REALLY bad hair!
Kyomoto Masaki, I think I love you.

I wasn't lying about the hair, was I?

I have the written parts done for numbers 15 and 14 in my countdown. I just have to do the pics now. Fuuun.
