The day in which my dad does his annual "going Christmas shopping for your mom because I am a man and don't understand things" trip. Also, my mom and I are baking!
Oh yeah, and podcast recording AHHHHHHH
You know what the real killer is? It won't be posted for like, two weeks. The wait is going to kill me.
But other than that, I keep switching moods between "AHH AWESOME" and "AHHH TERROR". I swing on the extremes of emotion that rely on 'ahh', you see.
Odd development happened yesterday, when I was in Wisconsin at my grandma's for dad-family Christmas. It was...typical fare for that side of the family, which...isn't very exciting. But I got a text from TimeChaser saying he was going to watch "Detroit Metal City" (I realize I'm putting the wrong punctuation for these titles, but this ain't English so I don't care) because Ichigo's reviewing it for the podcast. I had heard of the show before, vaguely, I think because I read a brief snippet about it in Anime-Insider when that magazine still existed.
Anyway.
What resulted was a back-and-forth about the show, and when I finally got home and had Movie Sign out of the way, I gave the first episode a watch, fully expecting to want to turn it off quickly. ...Which was the result, I assure you! But I kept on watching it, and something was ticked in my brain because I ended up watching the rest of the series (which isn't hard, it's twelve episodes that are essentially 11 minutes each (minus intro/end themes)). And I l...I llll...I llllliked it. Yes. If I bothered with MAL I'd give it about a 7/10.
Brief opinion: It is DEFINITELY not a show any of you kids should watch. The language is horrendous and some of the themes are mature, but there isn't like...eh, hard to say. It is, however, a parody of heavy metal rock and such, why is probably what got me to like it so much. It was funny. Subtitles got me to laugh, dang! Also, 'cause I have to: The art is different and the execution unique (frame styles kept changing, which I thought was interesting).
Anyway, got more coffee to drink and then the things I made mention of in the start of the post to do, so I'll be doing that now.
