FINAL 2014 Doggie Watchlist

Thanks to niece, I had to put some shows on hold and I can't catch up to any new live dramas such as Gotham and Gracepoint. It's been like that for years, and it's upsetting since I recently found interest into picking up those evening shows again. While there is tv rental, I'm too busy. My TV needs a new cable box and the other tv is what my niece often uses.

Near the end of the year, I really increased the new overseas weekly shows. I restrict myself to maybe three or four, unless I see something that really catch my eye. Not really sure why I picked up Terra Formars. I guess I saw many people talking about it, and maybe I wanted to know why it was about roaches? Or maybe it's like with Captain Earth, this connection to outer space.

With that, I should pick up Space Dandy?

I think I'll make Kamen Rider and Super Sentai mandatory shows since they are annual.

If they're going to make me wait 2 (sometimes 3 weeks) for Sailor Moon, at least put a little extra effort into it.

Way below, I added a new category: BOOKS. Will include what I am looking for and maybe, just maybe if I feel that it's worth it, the fanfic/online fiction that I'm reading. Maybe I'll accept recommendations?

COMMENT: Interesting, but slightly weak as it develops. You will enjoy the fights and the abilities of the animal DNA. When I started, once the war began and you realize the competence of the Terraformer roaches, and that's when it's interesting to watch. I found myself at times reviving the animal geek in me, trying to guess the animals.

- The Wind Rises (Kaze Tachi nu)
COMMENT: Thank you Miyazaki. I love planes too.

Retrospect: A year of ass, bass, and babies

That's what it's all about. Of course the bass I'm thinking of doesn't rhyme with ass, unless its the fish.

Unnerving Christmas Eve, driving nearly blind in a rainy night.

I've come to the conclusion that this is one of the worst years thus far.

On the side of my mother's family, two people died and for one she had to leave the country. My dog died of course.

GamerGate made a commotion, and I still have yet to understand the full details of it, or rather, being a girl gamer myself, I didn't want to realize that gender bias had so much negative consequences effecting a wide community.

An array of earaches!!! I have one now. This hasn't happened, not this often in a whole year, since childhood.

JewWario, Nagai Ichiro, Naya Rokuro right near the end (that man wasn't 80...), Joan Rivers, Bob Hoskins, John Pinette, Mickey Rooney, Joe Cocker, Maya Angelou, Robin....etc.

John Pinette was very sudden. He could easily humor me with, I guess you would call, "fat boy comedy". What fat people love to eat, can or can't do, etc.

After Kyoryuger successfully brought me to Sentai, I enter Tokkyuger. Personally, I think it has a better storyline when it regards the characters because there isn't a person in the world that didn't have a childhood. But Kyoryuger has the best characters comparing the two, especially the best villains. For Tokkyuger, the most interesting baddie is probably Schwarz.

Thanks to Rider Gaim, or Gaimu, I probably received my very first net gift: GAIM LOCKSEEDS. Even thought, Gaimu was a Urobochi balance of life mess. I'm not even sure what kept me watching. It wasn't horrible, but Urobochi enjoys questioning morals such as justice and evil. So he's going to shove desperation and confusion down us. But torture is always fun in fiction, so why not. But I am seeing better in W and OOO. What was good was the various Riders/arms, and plenty of fighting, especially between riders. Cool items such as the Hinawa Daidai DJ Gun. Just how did a situation between dance groups escalate into something so horrible? Easily kids find battle in a game, at least before the reality of the other-worldly monsters dawn on them.

Naruto ends in 15 years.

And there is a wide array of civil rights issues that I will not discuss about.

I bought and beat Legend of Zelda: SKYWARD SWORD. Definitely a good game.

And then there's me. Constant babysitting, I had to put many shows on hold. Let's just say that enjoying hobbies is not easy. I think at this point I cracked. It makes me want to question my moral compass.

I believe that my resolution was to read at least 3 or 4 books. Don't think I succeeded, but finished Pirates Latitude, an adventure against the Spanish, and Yukikaze, an inquisition about man in a world of machines. Reading these, and reading American Sniper now, just makes me remember the convenience of reading.

And my Hyrule Historia is still collecting dust (but I guess I keep it hidden now, even after beating SKyward Sword, because niece overlord likes it and will rip it). I should just put on a Zelda Medley and open up the book.

But right now, the Christmas season has me in its grasp. As well as munchkin.

(no subject)

I think... I finally understand what my dad meant... when he told me he wanted me to be strong like you, Link. He didn't mean strength as in lifting stuff. He meant strength as in courage

A quote from the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

If I recall, a touching scene.
