2011: Year in Review
I thought it might be kind of interesting to look back at 2011. A retrospective, so to speak. Uhhhh ... this is mostly for my own benefit, I guess, so feel free to pass it over ^^;

Merry Christmas, everyone~! ^_^

Last night we opened "gifts" (which consisted of random new tools -- insulated screwdrivers, tape measures, etc., haha -- wrapped up so there was something to open, and a mini scavenger hunt for money for my brother and me). Today we're going over to my uncle's for Christmas dinner (which my mom is making most of, poor woman) for my mom's side of the family (though it'll only be us, my uncle and two cousins, and my granpa), and tomorrow we're going to my cousin's house for the Christmas gathering with my dad's side of the family (which will mostly involve watching my gramma and my cousin's kids open presents because the rest of us are too old XD).

But with people talking about "Christmas hauls," even though it's by far the least significant part of Christmas, I felt like posting pictures of all the crap lovely anime series I bought from pre-Christmas sales for myself. Spending Christmas money before I even had it, LIKE A BOSS~

I don't usually mourn when celebrities die, but I found out today that Satoshi Kon passed away (from ONTD, of all places). He was only 47; some sources say it was cancer. If you're not familiar with the name, Kon was the director of the anime movies Perfect Blue, Tokyo Godfathers, Millennium Actress, Paprika, and the series Paranoia Agent. That's not a huge body of work, so it's probably no surprise that I've seen all of those. Satoshi Kon is one of the few anime directors whose name I know, and when his name is on a movie, I know it's worth seeing. Millennium Actress is one of my favorite anime movies, and Perfect Blue, as horrifying as it is, has drawn me back for a rewatch a few times. I really enjoyed Paranoia Agent. I don't like all of his movies as much, but they are all of high quality and worth watching at least once. It makes me sad that there will be no more of them. ...

Posting at work again ... bad me. But it's been very empty tonight, and neither of the YS supervisors are here to give me something productive to do, so ...

Look at me! Posting ... posting ... trying to figure out what to post ...

When not caught up in Persona 4 (which is beginning to wear on me, finally, at over 100 hours in @_@ I am too slow, though I'm very close to the end), I've been watching anime and movies. Not anything too recent -- I have a backlog of stuff I've been meaning to see, which includes just about anything available through my library system. So, without further ado ...

Ah, another one of these days, and another entry that I almost forgot to make and thus don't feel like spending much time on ...
( Chatterings and incomplete AMVs )

Reading, playing video games, writing, watching stupid TV, bugging my cat ...
