Last night I went on a binge of an anime I purchased earlier in the day.
I headed to another town yesterday (to JB Hi-Fi) to go and buy two Wii U games (they were each $20 less than anywhere elsewhere) for The Chook's birthday, which is coming up in a few weeks. I couldn't help myself from browsing the shops other wares.
I came to the anime section and went on a hunt for a certain Studio Ghibli film, though while they had many, the one I was after was missing. So, I started looking for other anime that I knew ... and found one that had been airing on TV recently, which (while I had missed the first few episodes) I had coincidentally become rather fond of. I couldn't help myself, I purchased it and in the evening began watching it ... which then became early morning - I had watched all 26 episodes! Oops. I guess I miss watching anime.
FYI, the anime I speak of is Ouran High School Host Club. I can hear laughter ...
I also picked up three children's films (buy 2 get the third free) - Despicable Me 1 + 2 and Rise of the Guardians. I also purchased Tim Minchin and the Heritage Orchestra - Live at the Royal Albert Hall ... I love Tim Minchin's songs! I spent WAY too much money, but it was nearly worse - so I did control myself to a degree - that counts, right?
Speaking of watching TV, the Doctor Who box set came in the mail 2 days after the last post. I had also gone to a local store and purchased the 50th Anniversary Collector's Edition (even if the 'Australia tax' is insane). Oddly enough I have yet to watch more than the first episode - I had put it on to make sure it would work and couldn't help but watch at least one episode! So, I guess I'll be binge watching Doctor Who now ... but I also have NCIS season 11 awaiting my attention too!
Oh, boy. For someone who doesn't watch an awful lot of TV, I'm certainly watching an awful lot of TV! *Help Me!*
I think I shall go now,

Been A While ...
Not much has happened in the interim. Just the usual - take Chook to school, study some, pick up Chook.
I did recently purchase the Blu-Ray Box Set of Doctor Who Complete Series 1-7 from the UK BBCShop and I am waiting for it to arrive, rather anxiously. I'm starting to worry it might get lost or stolen or be delivered to the wrong house ... but it really hasn't been long enough for it to arrive yet. It has been 9 business days since it was dispatched, I just need to be patient.
On the topic of Blu-Ray, I actually had to go out and buy a Blu-Ray Player ... JUST so I could watch the aforementioned Doctor Who box set. I have even cracked the region restriction, just in case they come as Region 2 only - though according to an email explaining why I could not purchase the 50th Anniversary Collector's Edition from them, they don't sell Region 2 only items to Australians (This is only one of the reasons given in the cut and paste email, the real reason is licensing).
Thinking of parcels apparently summons a delivery person. Just received a parcel with the last ball of yarn I need to start a Doctor Who themed crochet project. I have decide to make my own 4th Doctor scarf! Not some small imitation, a full length (nearly 6 metres) scarf - although I am still tossing up whether I will make it the full width (30cm/12") or a skinnier version (20cm/8"), and whether I will make it in single or half-double crochet. The 'pattern' I am using is for an 8" wide by 15' to 18' long scarf, made in single crochet. I have enough yarn for this version, but getting more yarn isn't hard - it doesn't need to be the same dye lot, as the new yarn wont be worked next to the old. The only issue would be the mustard colour, as I will be hand dying it (couldn't get the right colour from the yarn company). But if I make the scarf to the pattern I will only need a quarter of the ball, so that shouldn't be a problem. I'm sure I'll figure it out.
I can hear the school regional athletics final from here. The school next door is hosting it and I can hear it clearly ... they must be blasting the kids ears out! Their PA is nowhere near my house.
Better do some study now.
