mariness

So H arrived Friday afternoon. We ran a couple of errands and then settled in for a bit of anime viewing, with a show I'd never seen before, Omishi Musical Theater, Risky/Safety. I have thoughts, but most will have to wait: my main thought at the time is that watching this on DVD tends to have a very repetitive feel, as each episode is only about ten minutes, three of which involve repeating the credits, repeating what happened in the previous episode, and telling us what will happen in this episode, twice, which when you watch too many episodes in a row becomes annoying. At around 7, H, my brother and I took a look at the decidedly ominous clouds and made an executive decision to go find food, now, even though coldecho had not arrived. As it turned out, rain and coldecho arrived at the same time in the parking lot.

The restaurant was somewhat louder than expected, since...mariachi band! We were going to ask them to play either Nine Inch Nails or Rawhide (neither, I'd like to note, my suggestion) but this did not exactly happen. What did happen was the mariachi band following "When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie...." with Bad Romance, which was amusing enough.

Anyway, that was the arrival of coldecho, who with H stole me away to Gainesville and limited internet activity, returned me all sick and dizzy to bed sometime Sunday and today and this week is planning meandering fun things, presumably without the Little One, to his grave disappointment. I should be popping on here for a couple of important updates on other things tomorrow, and the usual Tor post should be up Thursday, but otherwise, I'll probably be mostly offline until next Monday.
