So, simply because I've been ingesting such interesting books and anime and things lately, I've re-instated a much simply version of the "currently" thing I used to do. I like this much better. Everything is linked to summaries, so if you're looking for something to read/watch, my recommendations are there. :)

Platonic Chain, if you can adapt to the computer-based animation, is interesting, Mel you might like it. Episodes are like 2min long, so it's not much of a commitment. Emma was light and sweet, lame ending though. Snow Queen is beeaaautiful (based on the fairy tale, which I've always loved, and this is as beautiful as it deserves to be), and Nana is going to be amazing. I'm four episodes in and it's already definitely a favourite. (By the same manga-ka as Paradise Kiss, which I also love. Nana's hugely popular though, from what I can tell, as well it deserves to be.)

The Icewind Dale one, is part of a ridiculously long fantasy series that Tom poked and prodded me in to. The writing style is a bit condescending at times, there's no subtlety at all to the characters really, but, I have a bit of a crush on Drizzt, soo.. ^^; (Watch DS for a drawing I did of him the other day.) Songmaster as I've already said was amaaaazing omg. I need to buy that one. So beautiful. <3 Spirits in the Wires, Mom lent me, and it's definitely interesting, though it's funny how similar the topics covered are to some in Snow Crash (whihc's also a huge recommendation, btw). Spirits in the Wires leans more toward the fantasy side though, while Snow Crash leans to the sci-fi, not that either is at all bound in by those categories.

Meanwhile, I am making bracelets and random things out of beads. No real reason, just wanted something to do with my hands, while watching things and waiting when my computer freezes and things. Really what I'd like to do is learn the knitting-thing, but I need to buy things before I can get into that, as I have no needles (nor any yarn with me, though I have some at home somewhere). Daf's pretty into it, and she's got me hooked (god no pun intended).
Plus, the little hemp bag I've used as a purse since like junior high is looking pretty ragged, I'd like to make a new little bag like it. :)

Whored myself out on sourceforge again today, and have gotten one response back - let's see if I can design game graphics, shall we?
