Seems that way.

Hannah's been home sick with the virus making the rounds for two days now. Clearly today is a better day for her.

Yesterday morning I took her to the doctor who ruled out both strep and bronchitis, which left us with the icky well, it's a virus and it has to run its course thing. I was glad it wasn't either of those bad boys of childhood medicine, because that means I don't have either of those things either (since Hannah and I are together so much). So we stopped and got a few things on the way home from the doctor's office and bunked out on the couch at home all day. Last night, she said she was still feeling so-so, so I decided she ought to sleep in today instead of spreading the cheer around school. I haven't heard nearly as much coughing, so I think she'll be good to go back tomorrow.

In the meantime, I'm glad I didn't have work scheduled. I'm working Friday and Saturday, and I'm at the massage school on Thursday being some sort of expert witness, but other than that, I don't have work until the end of next week, which is good because I'm having a visitor for a few days and might just be scarce. I was getting the guest room set up and the cats would not stay off the bed. It's sweet and silly, but it's hard to make a bed with three cats lying on it. I guess they needed to test it out first. The room's mostly set; I still have a few days.

I'm the Queen of Procrastination.

In the meantime I've done a buttload of laundry, folded it, got the garbage out, did up the guest room, cleaned the kitchen, cleaned the kitchen again, and have been having so much fun taking care of the litter boxes and the fish tank.

And... Jasmine, Queen of Cats, just stole and ate a potato chip. Go, girl.

I'm off to watch some Trigun. It's a good day for anime... but when isn't?

Mmm.... not particularly. I do have a thing for Cowboy Bebop because I believe it really is the best anime series out there, the best one ever developed, one of the prettiest, with the best storyline and characters and soundtrack. Also, it has the single best dub of any anime series I've ever watched.

I'm watching Trigun to catch myself up on Wolfwood's canon so I know a little bit about the guy from a meta perspective when we roleplay, but if I were a big fan of Trigun I'd have watched it all already, and I haven't (despite the fact it used to air regularly on Cartoon Network). I don't like the way it's drawn or animated and I'm not a huge fan of the dub at all, or of the storyline yet. But I'll give it a chance. I know [livejournal.com profile] alemara will jump all over me but the characters (so far) don't seem particularly complex or interesting to me. I'm sure they will as the story develops.

My criteria is stated above, but honestly, if an anime doesn't grab me within about fifteen minutes, I tend to let go of it. I know that's a high standard, but I see so little that even keeps my interest for that long. I think with Bebop it took me about five minutes to start to seriously love it. Maybe ten, but that's it, and I couldn't wait to see more of it.
