It's 3/17 and a Monday Morning

Ah, I'm once more back in the proverbial saddle. Heck, I've even managed to get a Monday morning rambling out the door on a Monday.

Just utterly too cool.

Anyways, I've seen two movies recently, The Spiderwick Chronicles while my elder brother was in town and Horton Hears a Who with my eldest son on Saturday. Both were enjoyable, with Horton being more so than I had originally expected. That said, the climax to Spiderwick was the most well-thought out, and foreshadowed, surprise resolutions I had ever seen.

Beyond that, I should be renting Appleseed: Ex Machina tomorrow. I'm actually excited about watching it--and excited about subjecting my beloved wife to it as well.

In book news, I'm upset with my local Barnes and Nobles. I had expected them to put up some of their materials on clearance in an effort to not have to move them to their new store. Imagine my dismay when I went there last night and there was nothing, absolutely nothing new on clearance. I was hurt. And even more hurt upon learning that the new building next to the movie theater is not going to be a Books-a-Million the way I had been dreaming.

Oh well.

Anime things are looking well. The series that I've been watching are quickly coming to a close. True Tears, Kimikiss and H20 all have less than 5 episodes left--provided that wikipedia is correct on the number of episodes in each of the series. Once all those have finished, I'll write up some series reviews for them. Finally with April on the horizon we should be getting the new series out soon.

Now I'm off to see what sort of mischief I can get into.
