candyland: (year of the ox)
[personal profile] candyland
The weekend was way too short. Did anyone else feel that way? I give you an update in list form!

What I accomplished this weekend:

- Played the first two days of the Nancy Drew marathon. Beat the first game (Secrets Can Kill) in a little over an hour, and the second game (Stay Tuned for Danger) in closer to two hours...but I was also knitting while I played ^^
- Officially am a third of the way done with my knitting project--done with the first color \o/
- Stayed up way too late on chat, but had fun anyway, so NEENER!
- Picked up Ye Olde Apartment because Landlady is coming through today.

What I intended to accomplish today:

- Play the third Nancy Drew game: Message in a Haunted Mansion
- Continue knitting
- Keep writing as usual
- Start watching Escaflowne so [livejournal.com profile] magic_truth will have someone to fangirl with ^_~

New on [livejournal.com profile] candyfics:

- Caring for Saiyans for [livejournal.com profile] 100fandomhell (DBZ)
- The Apartment: First Love for [livejournal.com profile] fanfic100 (Heiji/Kazuha)

*falls over from the poking* *whimpers and tears at you*

I have never held with the idea of YOU MUST WATCH THIS OR YOU'RE NOT A REAL FAN. Particularly after someone told me I wasn't a real gamer because I have never played a Final Fantasy game.

...I REFUSE!! JUST TO SPITE YOU!! *puts DVDs back on shelf*

... *crawls into bed behind you?*

I have it. I want to watch it. But I just need to find time and get comfortable and find a way to not get distracted...which might meant I'll have to not watch it on my computer.

I've been told about it's worthiness. And watch, I won't like it so everyone will throw bricks at me XD

Yeah--I got the full series box set for, like, twenty bucks. My favorite website was having a sale ^_~ It's been sitting on my DVD rack for a while, just waiting to be watched! Right next to the rest of GALS, Noir, DNAngel, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Chobits...

...I haven't made a lot of time for watching these lately, in case you couldn't tell ^^;;

Hooray~!! What I'm making right now are all Christmas presents, so I don't want to say what they are (because some of them are going to people on LJ), but they will be pretty! And colorful!

which website? discountanimedvd.com? I love them~ ah, the imports~ Those Chinese = win at their failed atempt to write english~ XD

I never watched all of Noir... or DNangel XD I keep forgetting to...They are like right there and yet I'll save them for a rainy day~ one where shiny new shows don't come out and such~

lol XD yeah sadly I have no life which makes for lot's o' anime watching time~ or gaming but I like to play for like 15 hours at a time... so I have to have a game day~ XD

COLORFUL AND PRETTY!!!!! O_O I LOVE THOSE, what would make it better is if there where some SHINY to add to that... Shiny like the spoon~

Actually, I just rightstuf.com--they have some really good deals, AND they're stationed here in Iowa, so I get my stuff fairly quickly ^^

I've just heard a lot of people talk about how good DNAngel and Noir are, so I thought I would give them a go. I have a TON of stuff I need to watch...I'm starting to think that after this Nancy Drew marathon is over I might make it my goal to watch one of these short little series a week.

My record for number of anime episodes watched in one sitting by myself was twenty-two episodes of Ayashi no Ceres. With my friends...oh goodness, what was our record? Thirty-six hours straight before the last of us finally lost consciousness? We've had some marathons. And also gaming marathons--we've had some fun Kingdom Hearts times! I need to get back on my video games...

I like pretty things. And shiny things 8D And hopefully these things (when finished) will all be pretty...and shiny in spirit ~♥

I've never shopped there, XD I'm so used to downloading it (and I'm cheap) but there is (or was) a Japanese import toy store that sold stuff pretty cheap on dvd. Though I could always just rent it at the Japanese mall... only there are so subbs. I can deal XD I know enough to get by~

Meh, on my list they get a 5/10 both of them. The manga for DNangel was better than the anime (I think they rushed it) Noir... Well it was interesting to a point :/ lol then again I watch too much and compare, Hell you might like it :P

lol my record was...52 episodes... I watched all of Macross 7 (BIG MISTAKE XD wtf with that anime really...) Also I did that with RAVE, but I watched 18-53 in a weekend, between work D:

Video game marathons are =win! but they are better played with other people... All the jokes and fun times to be had!! I live for those! XD

I'm sure they'll all be shiny in spirit and turn out super-awesome-sexy :P Cuz Candy is making them! Go Logic!

rightstuf.com actually does have some great specials. Got the first two seasons of Sailor Moon (subbed and uncut) for fifty bucks each there. But I've taken to downloading more now that I've got my own computer and my own internet. But sometimes it's also nicer to have stuff on DVD, ya know?

I'll watch 'em AND read 'em--especially DNAngel. Heard some good things about that manga :)

We used to get together every Friday night to play Kingdom Hearts. Oh man...so many jokes of AWESOME!! Guitar Hero is another one that's waaaaaay more fun if you have a group ^___^

YOUR CONFIDENCE IN ME MAKES ME SO HAPPY THAT I WANT TO GO TOP JEVA!! *goes in search of Jeva*

lol well if i really wanted to I could burn the downloaded stuff onto the right DVD format...but that takes time :/ but I'm enjoying the duel aduio torrents~ XD LOL DUBBS XD Sadly I'm super poor so I can't as much DVDs as I would like... I'd only pay 15 for a box set :/ I like getting figures and games more XD

lol Oh, Manga~ I read more of that than Anime~ *o* I used to spend so much on it DX now I can only spend like 20 a month~ which brings down my list of 30 mangas down to like 10 *sad face*

I hate Guitar Hero and I blame school, they keep playing it all day for like a week~ you could hear it in every class DX Just like smash bros. but group gaming ftw!~

WAH! SEXY CANDY TOPPING NEEDY JEVA!!! *follows to watch the sexy action*

I don't think I have that capability *woes* But I do like a bargain, and if I see a cheap boxed set, I will snap it up. Rightstuf did a sale once where they had a list of items, and from that list you could either get ten DVDs for fifty bucks...or twenty-five for a hundred. THAT'S FOUR BUCKS A DVD!! *pets Princess Tutu* I can't afford to spend that kind of money on anime anymore, but it's still nice to splurge once in a while!

I've taken to downloading manga. I'm lucky to have awesome people on LJ and buddy list who spoil me with links and files \o/

My friends and I like to joke that we're cheap dates because our idea of a "wild night out" consisted of going out to eat at a buffet somewhere and sitting and gabbing and stuffing our faces for two or three hours...and then going over to play the Guitar Hero demo at Best Buy for an hour. How it was that we never got kicked out is beyond me ^^;;

*pulls curtain closed* NO WATCHING FOR YOU! WE'VE A VERY PRIVATE COUPLE, DAMMIT!!

I can't read online manga... DX ughhh~ I just for some reason can't stand it. Xd I like to buy the books and hold dem in my hands and read~ besides it's faster than waiting for scanlators... :/ sometimes they slow, its just faster to read XD it's like 5-7 bucks for 400-700 page books *_____________*

lol my group of friends is that cheap. XDD all we do is go to whoever's house has the system that we want and steal the person who has a game we want and play til 3am XD fun times~

D: I don't get to watch?! *cries* I'm left all ALONE

I prefer to have the book in my hands. I've actually printed off manga from the internet and put it in a binder for that reason. I mean, if I have to read it online, I can, but...I prefer to have the volume in my hot little hands. Plus, then I can take it anywhere I want!

We had so much fun during Kingdom Hearts Night back when I was in college and lived at my parents' house. I'm hoping my best friend can come visit me sometime soon so she and I can hang out and play some stuff :3 [livejournal.com profile] kaitodoushi is hilarious because she's usually so sweet...but put a video game controller in her hand, and she swears like a sailor XD

NO! JEVA AND I ARE VERY PRIVATE! WE WOULD NEVER LET PEOPLE WATCH US, JOKE ABOUT US, OR DRAW NEKKID PICTURES OF US AND POST THEM ON BLOGGING SITES! THAT'S CRAZY TALK!!

I have to function mostly through Barnes and Noble and the interwebs *woes some more* I got into manga later than I got into anime, so I do have less manga, but...I still have a lot of the stuff! *makes note to do a head-count of manga*

*snicker* Something about video games brings out our inner...cursing-voices? I dunno ^^;;

NUUU!! JEVA AND I ARE PRIVATE AND DO NO WANT!! ^_~

Oh, Escaflowne. That was my biggest fandom ... five years ago? I remember when they showed it on FOX Kids and then just stopped cause they lost the rights or something. xDD It's really really good. Look forward to it. 8D

I saw the first couple episodes a while back, but I don't remember too much about it. So that's sort of my goal for this week/weekend is to A) keep on with my ND marathon, and B) finally watch the series! And I am looking forward to it!
