I gotta say, I am not very enthused about this one. For one thing, the animation looks VERY poor. The original series, which was done in the 80's no less, looks better than this one.

And who the hell are these new characters? What is this, Voltron High?

Yeah I know, I sound like one of those 'they changed it, now it sucks' people. I personally don't see why they need to reboot the series in the first place. There was (and is) nothing wrong with the original. Same thing goes for Thundercats (which is also being remade).

Maybe I'm being cantankerous or something, but I wish Hollywood would get some originality. It seems like everything they make anymore is a remake of something else. Now cartoons are falling victim to it as well.

*siiiiiiigh*

Well, a quickie before I have to do more stuff. Oh, did that sound naughty? Hee hee...

Today was better than last Monday. Of course, today I wasn't PMS-ing, so that may have been a contributing factor. Tomorrow the woman who trained me is coming by tomorrow to brief me on some of the other documents that I never got trained on beforehand. So hopefully things will go well.

Tonight mom and I had dinner with an old friend of ours who moved to the DC area a few years ago and is in town for business. It was very nice. We went to the local Mexican restaurant and I tried out the Fried Ice Cream. It wasn't bad.

Tomorrow is the office Christmas party, so I have a few things to finish up for my Secret Santa gift and I did indeed get the Macaroni Salad. Store bought natch.

I got all my gifts bought and wrapped yesterday and they are snug under the tree. I also got my package from dad today. Two of which I can pretty much guess what they are, but the third is a mystery... Hmmm.

I have my cards almost ready to mail out. I just have to add something to one of them and put the stamps on them and they'll be ready to mail out.

I got myself a little something with my little bonus I got. The first volume of the remastered Voltron series I used to watch religiously as a kid. Keith was my very first anime crush...

Well, I don't know if I'll be able to read my FL tonight or not sine I still have a bunch of stuff I need to do yet before I go to bed. Hopefully I can tomorrow.

Trivia of the day: Designer Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel introduced her first perfume in 1921. She gave it the name "Chanel No. 5." According to Chanel, she jumped straight to number five because it was her lucky number. To add luck to the fragrance, she introduced it on the fifth day of May, the fifth month. Chanel No. 5 became the world's best selling perfume.
