If you’re following at home, you’ll already know that I started Aria: the Animation.  And I just finished it.  I know there’s a bunch more of it, but I dunno when I’ll finish it — if I learned one thing (and I’d like to think I learned several, but still), it’s that I can’t really shotgun Aria.  You ever eat so much candy that, while still hungry, the thought of sugar makes you ill?  It doesn’t mean the candy is any worse, you just really need a steak.  That’s sorta what happened to me, though luckily each day found me ready for more.  Sleeping off the sugar crash works, it turns out.  Anyway, this post might ramble all around a bunch of different topics, but if you’re okay with that, let’s get started.

SF.c Call-in Podcast Poll

By Cuchlann on 5 February 2009 | SFCentral | No Comments

I just wanted to warn everybody that any votes that come in on the podcast poll after seven p.m. my time (which is eight p.m. EST and midnight GMT) aren’t going to be counted. Specifically, I’m going to try to down whatever series this weekend, and I’ll need to nab the episodes tonight (I have three day weekends this semester).

EDIT: If you don’t want to go count up yourself, Haibane Renmei is the clear winner.  If I’m remembering correctly, I didn’t watch this show years ago because it seemed incredibly slow and full of itself.  But I agreed — sometimes I agree to stupid things — so I will indeed watch it, after the new Toradora.  I will likely twitter-blog each episode here, and at least one larger post about it at some point (likely the end).  So there you go.  One hopes I don’t go mad.  At least there’s the Coraline opening to promise relief if the pain gets too bad.  ^_^
