Friends, who's excited for the eclipse?! I sure am! I live in the path of totality too so that's exciting. I've already talked to all of my professors about taking Monday off and I have my little glasses ready and everything. God, I love space. I don't understand what's going on most of the time but dang if it's not all fascinating.

Mom's going to be going with my sister to pick up the puppy in Mississippi so I'll have the house to myself this weekend. \o/ I'm really excited about this ngl. It'll be me and the puppers and the kitties, eating food and watching a ton of tv and...well, reading a ton because that is what my homework for everything is, haha. Anyway, I'm excited and I have a whole list of things I want to get done and I imagine I won't get very much of anything done.

Does anyone have any opinions about the anime Hyouka? It looks pretty cute and I really like high school mystery anime so I'm thinking it might be right up my alley. And speaking of watching things, is anyone else watching The Sinner on the USA network? Holy crap. It's intense.

Aaaaaaaaaahhhhh. The horror track hasn't posted a schedule yet and neither has the writers track. I'm really interested to see what they've got planned.

Anyway, that's really all that's going on with me! I'm working a short day tomorrow, since my sister, the groomer, won't be there so we have exactly three bath dogs. I'll work a little bit, get off, and then have nothing of great import (or at least, nothing outside of my house) until Tuesday.

I am so hyped.

i'm HYPE HYPE HYPE 4 THE TOTAL ECLIPSE!! i didn't think i would be able 2 see it b/c of my physical issues but then i found out my parents were planning 2 go 2 tennessee & was able 2 get them 2 agree 2 take me (altho now my dad can't make it so it'll just be me & my mom). SO HYPE!!! IT'S MY FIRST ONE

i loved hyouka! it turned out to be like, my perfect mystery anime, in that the mysteries are all p low-key and everyday, yet they still make it really interesting. i always call it "banal high school mystery anime" haha, BUT I DON'T MEAN IT IN A BAD WAY AT ALL. the characters are excellent and it's kyoani who ofc always make good-looking shows but this one is one of my faves in that respect too. they did so well with the tiny little details of character movement for showing emotion & their personalities. also the MC is voiced by my fave voice actor haha. SO ANYWAY, YES. TOTALLY RECOMMEND! there were def some arcs i liked more than others (the school festival arc being my ABSOLUTE FAVE, and the swimming pool OVA imo being the low point), BUT OVERALL IT'S ALL FANTASTIC.
