Yesterday it was 78, sunny, and humid. Today it's 60 and raining.
I went to the Festival of Legends, a first-year sort of Renaissance festival a couple friends were running. We helped run the table for ConTemporal and get the word out. I tried some archery, which is when I burned myself. It was a lot harder than middle school, because the woman who owned the bow is kind of a badass and has a 45# longbow. Aside from being really heavy pull, it's a right-handed bow, but I shoot left-handed (I think?) I could pull it easier with my left hand than my right, and I'm right-handed.
I've discovered a new thing I can't really do anymore: be outside in hot, humid weather, unless I hydrate a LOT first. After lunch, I felt really sick, but after I sipped enough gatorade and put some ice on my head, I felt well enough to chug the gatorade.
Stupid body.
So we came home and watched Legend of Korra (free on nick.com), crashed the playstation trying to watch Mouretsu Pirates on crunchyroll and pirated it instead, ditto Space Brothers. I have Thoughts on these shows:
Korra is awesome and I can't wait to see what happens (also awkward firebender with Jin Kazama's eyebrows).
Mouretsu Pirates is about grrl power and young women supporting each other rather than being catty bitches and saying shit like "I don't get along with girls, so I only have male friends." (I've heard that from multiple women I'm (apparently not? since I'm a girl who they don't get along with, remember?) friends with. Or maybe I don't count as a girl, whatever.) Also, it's a high school show with NO panty shots, no faceplants into titties, no massively overdeveloped breasts on 13-year-old girls, and, really, nary a boy in sight (except the crew of the pirate ship, who hardly count). And they had a perfect opportunity for a panty shot in 0g and they DIDN'T USE IT. It gets my love just for that.
Sakamichi no Apollon/Kids on the Slope looks interesting, even if it seems like it's just about some high school kids and jazz.
Space Brothers could really do without all the male horndog shit. If you wanted to know what you have to do to become an astronaut at JAXA, watch this show.

Date: 2012-04-22 02:41 pm (UTC)From:Mouretsu Pirates is the first show I can think of in a *long* while where there was a sequence that had me grinning like for five minutes straight and really reminded me why I still watch anime!
...also, if it reminds you of Tylor and Nadesico, there's a reason.
Bottom line - definitely recommend you stick with it through a few eps!

It's amazing. All Chiaki has to do is suggest there are a dozen competent sailors she can trust in the yacht club, and bam! Bentenmaru has a crew! I love the hacker girl and Chiaki and the best friend girl and mom...
Also I nearly died when Princess Serenity had dango.
