Happiness is

[prillalar]

* a new 14" iBook

* seeing the squee on my flist as people start watching Fullmetal Alchemist, Monster, Prince of Tennis, and Naruto (don't think the rest of you will escape assimilation)

* coming home to find the Boy doing my Thursday night jobs as well as his own

* sneak preview tix for Batman Begins

* listening to my just-arrived Scala CD, Dream On -- a Belgian girls choir covering songs by Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, Radiohead, and more

* anticipating listening to my just-arrived Pat Boone CD, In a Metal Mood -- covering classics like Smoke on the Water, Crazy Train, and Stairway to Heaven

* downloading a new Yakitate!! Japan episode

* pretty boy overload in Genius 272

* watching Bleach 35

* the existence of stout

* smelling my shepherd's pie reheating

* raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens (ok, I actually can't hear this song now without thinking of Dancer in the Dark)

* and did I mention the freaking new iBook?

I have every single episode of Naruto full screen clogging up my harddrive. I attempted to watch it but I couldn't get over the fact that Naruto wears a bright orange jumpsuit. :p

New iBook? How totally cool!

...I haven't watched Naruto yet, and I've never even heard of Monster. Aie! o.O At this point my entire summer will be eaten up.

Not to mention that I needed to take a break from PoT last night (I'm going through them too fast! They won't last!) so I started re-watching Whistle!.

I am dooooooooomed.

PS. I found a Genius file (#268) and now know that it is PoT related...but what is it, exactly? And where do I get more? =D

I love happiness posts, especially when so many of them are my happy place, too.

I need to get Bleach episodes from a local pusher. He gave 5 eps of it to my dad to give to me, and I now have all the manga licensed by Viz. OMG Ichigo! Rukia! Ishida!

Also, I'm taking my FMA DVDs with me to visit nestra in 2 weeks. Mwahahaha!

Kaidoh is definitely my favorite at this point, I note. OMG KITTY. Although I am cracking up hysterically over the clip riddering of the characters with the voice actors of Scar and Greed playing tennis with each other.

Don't you just love Scala? I've got the 'on the rocks' album, and it's beautiful!

oh, POT. Last night in the middle of watching POT I remarked, "This is addictive," and my housemate who has only been fighting a losing battle to get me to enjoy anime for the last six years, nearly fell over.

it is just a fluke, really. =;

Sounds like the universe is properly aligned again. (:

ha! I have sneak preview tix for Batman Begins as well! *gloats, but now in a semi-communal-ish way*

(I've had trouble getting people into Naruto because so much of the episodes--and it's especially bad early on--consist of "previously on Naruto" or flashbacks, or a combo of both. The pace can a be a bit draggy, for example: the arm scene between Orochimaru and 3rd that took, like, 10 eps to finally conclude. Naruto seems to take someone who wants to get into it. Whereas FMA zips along nicely and sucks even the unsuspecting non-anime fans in.)

I'm spamming your inbox, I'm sorry, but your journal's interesting and my brain is completely fried from finals-cramming. FMA and Naruto are the two fandoms I'm determined to get into this summer, and I'm also interested in Yakitate!! Japan and Bleach and some others. *sighs* Now the problem is trying to *find* places to download FMA and Naruto since it's hard to find BT downloads of them. XXD

New iBook? Pretty!
