  1. So it's getting late & here I am sitting in the dark watching Shiki yet again. I must love to torture myself.

      you re some kind of masochist, aren't you? 😂 

  2. Alright, well I managed to get *some* sleep last night after checking my bedroom thoroughly to make sure there were no demonic entities or vampiric intruders. Geez, I never would have thought that an anime about vampires would freak me out so much but the animation in Shiki is just so damn unnerving!

      As I mentioned before it reminds me a lot of the old Salem’s Lot miniseries (1979) I watched as a kid which gave me nightmares. I don’t usually “horror” anime scary, but Shiki is an exceptiion.

      YES! Salem's Lot is exactly what it reminds me of! I read the book & there were parts that really scared the hell out of me!

  3. On the 5th episode of Shiki & I'm so freaked out that I'm almost shaking & I think I heard something outside my window! This is going to be a long night LOL!

      It’s been a couple years since I watched & I still don’t dare to look under the bed at night 😂

      OMG, I know!!! I literally tip toed into my bedroom because I was so sure that something was going to be in there. It doesn't help that we're having severe thunderstorms in my area so there was all this thunder going on. 

  4. To anyone in the area of the world where those Dragon Storms are going on i.e. Egypt, Israel, etc. Please stay safe! 

  5. So Shiki has taken a few episodes for me to warm up to it but now that I have, it's getting pretty creepy.

      It’s definitely the eyes

      That is just plain mean LOL! But yes, I absolutely agree that the eyes are the worst! 

  6. Having meetings at work for contingency planning in case we get quarantined. Oh boy....

      yeah it's mayhem out there. people seem to think it is doomsday

      We were doing this as well.  Unfortunately we're realtime operations & can't shut down completely and send everyone home but we're thinking about things like sending half the crew(s) home to get some separation of personnel.  Most of the staff that can are already working from home.  We have 3 other sites around the world too, one of which is in Madrid.  Don't know if they're going to be able to stay online. 

      Still in the very early stages of the pandemic but it is already pretty serious.  Not doomsday but it has potential for getting out of hand, especially if people start panicking.  Next week there will be more testing options here in the US so I expect the "confirmed positive" count to rise quite steeply.  Personally I'm in the "knowledge is power" camp and want to know, but not everyone will react well to learning that the virus has already reached their community.  How people react to that will be important.

  7. Finished Paranoia Agent and now so begins my Shiki journey! 

  8. Welp, the water, toilet paper, & food hoarding has officially started in my area. Time to strap in folks, this could get ridiculous....

  9. That amazing moment when you fall so in love with an anime OST that you literally work yourself into a puddle of sweat coming up with your own dances to it! Paranoia Agent OST is the G.O.A.T!

  10. OMG! The soundtrack for Paranoia Agent GOES IN!!! 

    1. RuthisianCodex

      This song is particularly lit!

       

  11. Looks like Paranoia Agent is up next. This should be good! 

  12. Thinking I might try out either Death Note, Shiki, or Paranoia Agent after I get done with Terra Formars tonight.

      All are quality series IMO

      I've heard nothing but good things about them so I'm pretty stoked. 

  13. Why? Why do I continue to get attached to characters in these battle animes knowing full well they could die at any time? Don't I ever learn!?!

      Not a battle anime but ID:Invaded has been bringing the feelz the past couple weeks 😥

  14. Lavender honey bubble baths...AB-SO-LUTELY!!!

  15. So after listening to the opening song, I foresee some Samurai Champloo in my very near future. 

  16. On the 3rd episode of Terra Formars & wow! The mutant cockroach creatures have freaked me out so bad that I might have to take a break to scrub my house from top to bottom just in case! I love shows that make me react this strongly though. I can tell this is going to quickly become another favorite for me lol!

  17. Meal prepping for the week has become such a relaxing ritual for me :) 

  18. Watching Terra Formars for the 1st time. Because what's better than giant murderous, mutated, cockroaches in space!?! 

  19. Just finished my daily Japanese lesson on Duolingo because I'm determined to one day be able to enjoy my anime subtitle free! 

  20. Trying a German Milka bar for the 1st time. This...is...lovely!!!

      Yeah it was a little over a dollar here so I'm definitely looking forward to the other flavors. I've been eating extremely clean these last few months so I decided to have some treats today. This was absolutely one of the best ideas I've had in a while hehe.

      Last time I saw them I think I was at a Target and they were about $3 a bar.  Must be exchange rates getting me, or I'm shopping at the wrong places or something.  :(

      Well, I got mine from an International market so that might have something to do with it. It was a little under $1.50. 

  21. The Mochi Queen has returned from the local international market where I got some of my favorite flavors of mochi: cacao, red bean, ube, & taro. YUM!

  22. Levi Ackermann & Erwin Smith are my Ride or Die dudes forever! 

  23. Making broiled spicy lemon pepper salmon & roasted red potatoes for dinner. Indeed, in preparation for my next anime binge adventure I shall feast like a queen!

      Spanish rice is actually on of my favorite side dishes, a lot of times with grilled chicken.

    3. RuthisianCodex

      I like to serve Spanish rice either with tacos or with fiesta lime roasted chicken. I also make some homemade salsa if I have everything I need. So good!

      this is making me hungry 😂

  24. A tall glass of milk, some of my favorite cookies, & a few hours of Attack on Titan before bed...so Heaven has actually been in my living room this whole time, huh? Go figure.
