春が来たかも。。。
I guess it's spring. I absentmindedly wore my spring jacket to work today, but by the time I caught a bus home, it was really cold out again. Doh.
So yeah. Yesterday I went to Oren's to watch the WBC final, which was pretty awesome, and we watched the second episode of the GTO dorama afterwards.
Today I was late to work and late getting home and didn't do much here besides sit around, partially because my left leg is sore from volleyball Sunday and I don't feel like walking. Not sure what I did to it exactly, but I sort of hope it feels better by tomorrow because I want to play volleyball again, dammit. (It's the upper leg for once, not the lower... I forget, are your quadriceps the ones in front? That's the one that's sore.)
I've watched all the subtitled episodes of Brother Beat I have now -- sadly, Nemui hasn't done any past episode 5, so I may go on into unsubbed territory because I really like the show. It's weird because there really isn't much of a plot to the show besides "random life stuff happens to these three early-20sish brothers and their slightly insane mother", but the characters are very real and believable and funny and endearing. I dunno.
I'm still also attempting to watch "君といた未来のために~I'll be back"; just did another episode tonight. Now this is more of a sci-fi show than a typical dorama, seriously -- it's sort of like Groundhog Day but not a comedy. Domoto Tsuyoshi stars as Atsushi, this 22-year-old guy who dies on new year's eve of 2000... only to find himself alive again four years earlier as an 18-year-old, but with all the memories of the future up until his death intact. The first time around, he does all this crazy stuff to get money and fame (including capitalizing on things he knows will happen and betting on them, and then also doing things like "inventing" the Tamagochi and whatnot), but ends up unhappy in the end, and when it gets to new year's eve 2000, he dies again, and comes back to life four years earlier again, same way. The next time around he's trying not to do that but to discover things about why his mother committed suicide among other details... but there's this insane man Mayazumi who is also apparently trapped in the same time loop who is messing with Atsushi and other people. Nakama Yukie is also in this show, and I can't figure out exactly what her deal is yet, but I think she's also trapped in the timeloop, or somehow instrumental to Atsushi getting out of it, since she's been different in each 繰り返し. This show originally aired like 7 years ago and I don't think anyone's bothered to try to subtitle it, which is surprising, because it's actually pretty good. The music is particularly subtle and powerful (even the j-pop ending theme of "やめないで,PURE" by Kinki Kids (duh) is set with a good video sequence). But I'm feeling too lazy to really stop and look up a lot of words along the way, so I feel like I'm missing a few subtleties, though I think I'm understanding the plot and characters fine.
I also took care of bills and stuff. It's funny because I usually tend to overpay a few bills so I don't have to pay them in future months, but I don't want to do that all of a sudden because I'm probably moving in a month or two, so I don't want to end up with the electric company owing me money or something.

zml and I are talking about being housemates again when he moves out here since it worked out so well the first time in college, although this time rather than having my two cats we'd have his two dogs. I'm not looking forward to the whole packing-and-moving part of the process, but I am looking forward to not living alone anymore, and having a bigger place that people can actually come visit.)
