snapdragon76: this is made of win and awesome (Gren -- Play for Me)
The guy that's been annoying me on my forum has been at it again. I've decided to ignore him. Completely. Akin to shunning, basically. I'll not read any of his posts anymore, because I really don't care what he has to say. I can't kick him off since he hasn't officially violated any rules, and it wouldn't be fair of me to do so without proper justification, so I'll simple ignore him. If I don't know what he says, then he can't piss me off.

I've started in on reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Basically that's where I left off, technically. It's a long ass book though, but it flows well and it doesn't seem to take to long to read, so I might be able to get through it in a relative short amount of time. It just depends, though.

Someone on the FGML linked to an interview with Takaya-sensei on Time Magazine Online. It's pretty interesting. She basically talks about how manga has grown more popular outside of Japan. She even mentions she's a CSI fan! I thought that was pretty cool!

I had to take mom to get her haircut this morning. She's been wanting one since her hair had gotten too shaggy for her liking. Then we went to get a few more things at the store we forgot yesterday.

And I started on another scarf for mom. She picked out a nice soft Autumn Red for the color she wanted. There's a pattern for a nice simple poncho on the label, but the instructions are for knitting, not for crocheting.

A friend of mine is going to be on the CBS Early Show's Living Room... LIVE! on Monday morning with her band performing a song she wrote for the talent search competition! I'm really excited! So if you get a chance, please be sure to watch! If you don't get up that early (or don't get this network for those of my friends who are Canadian), it'll be available for viewing online.

Tonight is movie night and we'll be watching Rear Window. I've seen it before on television and liked it.

Have a good weekend!

Neat interview. I'm glad she's not one of those people who's like "Gaijin reading manga!?! The scandal! The taint!" :)

Hey, we gaijin bring in more money for her, so it's more like "Gaijin read? Big sales? More money? The sweet!"

I try to ignore people who are annoying as well.

Yeah. It's better than calling him names.

What forum do you host? I'm always looking for new ones.

OotP is very good and moves right along. Without giving anything away, although I enjoyed it, I found it rather hard to read because it's pretty angsty all around. I actually found myself avoiding it at times!

Thanks for the link to Takaya's interview. I always enjoy reading an interview with the creator of something that I'm so caught up in.

It's a non traditional RP forum. It's on my links list on the side. The second one from the bottom.

Yeah, I heard it was kind angsty. But if I feel I need to set it aside while I read, than I will until I'm ready to come back. I've done that before.

No prob! I thought someone might enjoy it.

I hope to re-read Harry Potter this summer too! (Or is this your first time?)

Good luck ignoring the idiot! Sounds like a smart idea.

For me it's the first time. Which is why I'm starting on the 5th one, since --via the movies-- that's the next part. I have all the books (and I do mean all of them now), I just haven't really read them. I know, shame on me.

You miss a LOT just going by the movies. I would recommend starting with #1.

Yeah, I know. I will eventually.
