Joining Netflix Revolution

I finally joined NetFlix, mainly out of sheer frustration with Hastings. I watch Japanese Anime and sometimes I will miss an episode or two that make all the difference. My ability to see Japanese Anime is limited being in Wichita Falls and watching Adult Swim on Saturday Night.

I renewed my membership at Hastings so I could re-watch FullMetal Alchemist and try to fill in some gaps. I was doing fine and then I couldn't seem to get my hands on the 10th disk. I went back a few times to look and finally decided to ask the lady behind the counter about that disk.

She said they didn't have disk 10. Uh, OK. A 51 episode series and you don't have the dvd available for rent with 4 epidsodes. I thought I was being smart and suggested that they take one of the disks they have for sale in the Used DVD pile and complete the series. To my surprise, they don't do that. How freaking frustating!! I wasn't going to buy the whole series for four episodes.

So, I give in, NetFlix has it and we'll see how it goes. Supposedly I'll be able to see other Anime, so it should come in very handy. I must be one of the last people to finally give in, but it had to happen sometime.

My First Ikebana Project

In my efforts to relax my mind, one of the things that is supposed to help is Japanese Flower Arranging, called Ikebana.

My first attempt at it ended up ok, I think.

I just took some easter flowers from Wally World and gave it a whirl

Great Visit

I was lucky enough to be able to visit Larry and his boys Logan and Oliver this weekend. Logan was his usual precocious self and Oliver is getting to be a big boy and doing great. Logan is a bundle of energy and constantly wanting to talk (hmmm). Oliver is a pretty calm and happy kid unless he is hungry. I am so pleased at how well both the boys are doing, especially Oliver. Ollie rolled over for us three times, so who knows what he'll do next time I see him.
