No update today, and I'm late for my nano again. Watched the D.gray-man anime, which is surprisingly good seeing as I didn't even get past the introductory arc on the manga before it bored me with WTF makes no sense-ness.

But then there was Kanda. And the Asuka saw that Kanda was good.

Well, not good, good. But sexy, shirtless under his open military coat, pissy as fuck, and living for revenge. HOHOHO. ♥

Then I was all "yay, three hours left to write more nano" and then my brother shoved boxes at our TV box cable thing and i spent the next two hours holding cables in place while dad fixed them. =__=;;;

So instead I downloaded more d.gray-man because OMG I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS.

Seriously, the beginning was BORING, and there was too much info and not a lot of it seemed to make sense. But it's a lot more palatable in anime form since it's a bit condensed and only lasts one episode. And then once there were all those other characters -- O-OMG. There is not one character I don't love. They really make the show. Allen! Komui! Rinali-chan! Rabbi! The evil little gothic lolita who's so CUTE OMG CUTE AND EVIL I LOVE EEEEE! Mirandaaaa eeeeeeeee! Crowleeyy~

The cracky bits are hilarious, and the angsty moment are really angsty. And mmmh the author doesn't spare them ouchies all that often, does he. *__*

sohappy.

... but. not gonna marathon it all right now. really i'm not.

So... Bed. Yeah.

He *is* creepy. Of course, my favorite villan at the moment in this series is Ticky. 'Cause he's just that cool.

I've tried reading the first couple of chapters of that soooo many times, and just didn't care. Which made me sad, because it was pretty. But. Bored.

I've watched the first two episodes. Maybe I'll watch more... because Kanda was yummy.

... I really didn't need another anime to pile up this month. 8P :)

Best get to bashing on my NaNo so I don't lose my "day ahead" status. (I will either end up loving this world I'm making or I will end up hating it because I can't get away from it for a solid 30 days. *argh!*)

Maybe I'll treat myself to an anime binge if I make my goal for today. If I get 2000 words down today I'll be two days ahead! ;)

Though you can rest assured, your NaNo reads a lot better than mine. I'm sure by the time I hit 50,000 words or midnight on the 30th I'm going to hate my little rodent1 people with a burning passion.

But for now I'm going to slack off and watch this week's Bleach. :)

1. Generic rodents, I haven't bothered to describe them much other than saying they have fur. Mentally I imagine them as rather jerboa-like, maybe I should call them gerbil people? No reason for them to be rodents rather than humans other than my finding rodent people cute, though I have to say that I'm probably avoiding race issues by sticking with non-humans.

You cursed me didn't you. -_- Writing today was hard.

If I end up padding my story with lesbian rodent sex I'm so blaming you.

On a cautionary note, if you aren't using NaNo's verified word count you might want to test it out. I finally managed to get over 18,500 and decided to do a verified count today... and it ate 401 words. ;_; So I had to get over 19,000 words down so the verified count was over 18,500. *dead*

It does take a while to get into. The first volume is very awkward and not a great beginning.

But oh, the characters later on. ♥ KOMUI PWNS FOREVER. And Rinali's issues are so heartbreaking. ._. And Miranda just needs hugs. And Allen/Rinali is all dramatic and spiritual and awwww. And Rabi is the most awesome dork ever.

I need to make sure I've got a better wig for my Komui costume next Otakon. XD;

I've watched the first three episodes, and read some of the chapters and yes, there was a lot of information. But the pretty persuaded me. And perhaps I am too easily persuaded ;p

Rinali? In the anime sub it was Lenalee, ah - translation differences I suppose.
