fruits basket, tumblr, nerves

[tangeriner]

Friend from work (who is also a giant geek) texted me (from home, where he was sick) that Crunchyroll will be streaming Fruits Basket! PHEW. I was not looking forward to subbing to yet another streaming site (CR, Prime, Netflix and Crave are enough-- I have so much to watch I'm probably cancelling cable, because I honestly cannot keep up).

I was just thinking today, sadly, that I didn't have any anime to watch this week, since Run with the Wind is over (WEEEEEEEEEEEP) and Dororo is on a break week (someday I will talk about this show, it is amazing). But FRIDAY! Yaaaaaaaay!

~~

I really gotta stop looking at Tumblr. My logical brain loves The Discourse, but my anxiety brain REALLY does not. Also, I can't stop my fingers from clicking onto links, which usually leads me down a dark path of Wrong Opinions. But then someone posts an amazing guide to swords and all my best intentions go out the window.

~~

I pinched a nerve in my left ankle on the way home from work today, so I spent a good fifteen minutes standing in the middle of an empty parking lot, waiting until I could walk again. I basically contemplated the ending to my pirate AU-- there are two options, and I don't know which one is the actual ending yet. I hope, by the time I get there, one of them feels right.

It's still a long road to even get there, so I'm not worrying about it. Yet anyway.

I am so glad that Crunchyroll is streaming Fruits Basket-- because while I have Netflix and I have all of those sites, anime can get lost in whatever it is that I choose to watch on them. (because there are so much!)

Thank you for letting me know it'll be available on Crunchyroll! Super helpful!

[tangeriner]

It's almost overwhelming! Too many things to watch in too many places! You're quite welcome!

(also, that Kefka icon, weeeee!)

i wish I could claim credit for it but sadly I can't-- but the artist is super talented and from LJ, just look up her stuff. <3

I get constantly overstimulated-- I think that's probably 75 percent of my problems to be honest, too much to watch/play/read-- and that sets me up faster then a kid in a candy shop-- and then I end up passing out because all my fandom sensors have been stimulated at the exact same time

[tangeriner]

I will! Thanks for the heads up!

That sounds so familiar. I often end up doing nothing I planned to, because it's all just... a lot. :S

Do you ever wish you were much younger? So that you had the time and energy to take it all in?
Maybe that is me prattling, I am almost 40 and wish I had no need for sleep like I did when I was 19--

[tangeriner]

You're definitely not alone! I have clear recollections of staying up until 6 am in the morning, playing FFXI all night and/or writing fic and/or watching a zillion episodes of whatever show I was into at the time. Now... it's 8:45 pm and I'm wondering if it's too early to go to bed, because I am exhausted (and also staring down 40). ^^;;;

[alwaysbeenasmiler]

YES! bedtime for me is like 9:30 now-- however in my good old college days, I would stay up until 4 am, only to be up for work at like 9-- and being completely full up of energy!

Those were the good old days, I am SO glad I am not the only one who feels that way.

I know that there is a term saying "Youth is wasted on the young". I disagree because I took advantage of every golden moment I could, no questions asked.

[tangeriner]

Haha, yeah, I definitely can't say I didn't have a good time. It was fun! (But I do miss that energy!)

So many streaming services out there. o_o

I have only Netflix and Crunchyroll and...it's possible I've never watched anything on CR but Yuri on Ice. >.> But I want to support my sibling-industry, so I keep it.

So given that, I'm just as glad that I don't actually have to keep my shiny new Funimation account active. Yay, Crunchyroll!

[tangeriner]

I gotta wonder: at what point will I just be re-inventing my cable bill with all these things.

I usually only watch max 2 shows per season (and Dororo's on Prime) but I also occasionally binge a CR show. Also, I can watch random eps of Yona whenever the mood hits, haha. :D

But yeah, no offense to Funimation, but I really didn't need another service.

[umadoshi]

I've literally never had a cable bill (since my preference for how to pay for media has always been to put money into DVDs instead), so the cost of it always blows my mind a little when I actually think about it. O_O

[tangeriner]

I watch most of my stuff on DVD/blu-ray, and have for years, and was completely ready, but then... hockey. But now I think it's actually cheaper to go to a couple games a month than to pay for cable (because they are terrible). Hmm, I think I just talked myself into finally pulling the plug. :D

Money-saving victory? ^_^

More $$$ for comics and manga at any rate, haha. /priorities
