tangeriner | fruits basket, tumblr, nerves

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!

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

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--

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). ^^;;;

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.

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!

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.

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

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
