World's finest snapdragon76
Well, being that yesterday was Labor Day, we pretty much took it easy most of the day. We did go out to run a few errands, but aside from that, we stayed in. It's still too hot to do much of anything outdoors. The good news is is that the pool has finally been fixed, so it's open for business. I may stop by sometime this week...
There were a ton of marathons on TV yesterday, so I switched between CSI and M*A*S*H. Later in the evening I watched the final two episodes of Season One of Veronica Mars that I missed during my original marathon...
And I was shocked to hear that the Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin died! I somehow had the feeling he'd eventually die from an animal, but not this soon. He had a wife and two young children left behind.
I heard from some sources that Hot Gimmick 12 is out now (the final volume). I'll have to swing by Barnes & Noble tomorrow and have a looksee. I'd do it today, but it's Tuesday and I'm sans automobile on Tuesdays.
Volume six of Kaze Hikaru looks to be incredibly cute. Quite a bit of Sei/Okita squee and we see Sei come into her own as a member of the Shinsengumi. I just wish I knew what was being said since I only have scans of the raws. And there are woeful amounts of summaries or translations available. I know many people were upset with the fact that it's not going to be in Shojo Beat anthology anymore, but I'm beginning to see it as a good thing since it means the volumes will be out sooner. Three is coming out in November and then 4 is supposed to come out in February, so that makes four months instead of six between volumes.
And I just got finished seeing digital camera pics of chapter 132 of Furuba. This is the first chapter of the final arc. The next one will be out on the 20th.
Now, I haven't read the translations or summaries yet, but it looks to be a very good chapter. All the Jyuunishi are gathered together and are somewhat reeling from suddenly being released from the curse (or so it seemed to me anyway). Then, Akito makes her entrance... in a very lovely feminine kimono! She looks very darling and lovely. She even trimmed her hair! Needless to say, most everyone is shocked. We have various flashbacks to the things she's done over the years. I think she's offering apologies to everyone she's hurt (like I said, I haven't seen any translations yet). We then flashback to when Shigure visits her and gives her the kimono. They get into some sort of argument. Then Shigure thinks back to the dream he had when Akito was conceived and the feelings that it stirred in him. We then see Akito in her new kimono going to see him, since he wasn't with the others. They talk again and share a very tender moment. *squish*
There's supposedly five different endings, but the publisher is only going to use one of them. I hope we get to see the other endings in some form or another. Mostly I want to see what eventually happens to everyone.

Trivia of the day: A Club Med survey found that couples who dieted while on vacation argued three times more often than those who didn't, and that those who didn't diet had three times as many romantic interludes. <---that's because people tend to be cranky when dieting
