Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron

No, I didn't see the whole thing, and I wouldn't want to watch the whole thing anyway. Just happened to catch the last 40 minutes or so after the Unified: Praise DVD, starting from when the mare fell down the river after being shot.

First thing first, that art is so very terrible, if it wasn't about horses, I would had just turned off the TV and left the room. I see myself as a pretty tolerant person when it comes to animation art style (which would explain how I got through Saiyuuki and some of the old anime titles... well, I admit the seiyuu was the only saving point in the case of Saiyuuki for me), but drawing animals this badly is simply not forgivable! Yes, despite my leniency toward poor people art, I have a rather high standard for animals. And that, my friend, is worse than the dogs in the Ginga anime (which says a lot, as the bad art almost stopped me from watching it if it wasn't for the fact that Ginga is one of my all-time favourite manga series).

Art aside, however, it's not half bad. I actually shed tears twice; when the horses in the transportation cart carried some hay over after getting rejected twice, and when the man said goodbye and set the mare free. The second occasion especially reminded me of White Fang, where I also cried when the main character forced White Fang to leave and go back to the wild. But if the cast had been human, I would not have had the same reaction. Yabari, animals still hold a special place in my heart, na?

Hillsong + delirious? Unified: Praise DVD

This is what being history makers are about. It's not about the songs we sing, but the choices we make.

I was greatly moved seeing thousands of people gathering together to praise and worship God, with one voice and one heart, unified under one God and one Spirit. Both the Hillsong worship team and the d:boys are awesome, but the church is the real thing. Kindred spirit, like-mindedness. 同じ神の家、仲間だから。:)

ニュータイプ二月号入手! Though it was unfortunate that I wasn't able to get ガンダムエース。残念。I've been wanting to read The Edge (and the DESTINY-related in-mag gifts)...

Not all that impressed with the in-mag gifts in this issue. The poster of Char from the Z Gundam movie is good, but the little "heroine guide" is useless to me. Maybe I should ask yuujin-P to buy アニメージュ二月号 as well? DESTINY and Fafner seem to have a feature section there, but I don't want the AIR poster nor the bishoujou CG CD... -__-

うあぁ... Even though I made the resolution to start posting everyday, I still forgot. orz

Bought a pot of... some kind of white flowers today for Mum's Valentine. I was going to buy a bouquet as usual, but she seemed happy when her friends gave her an orchid plant for her birthday, so I decided to go with a live plant this time. I wanted to pick up a little cactus at first but they didn't have much of a selection (plus, I doubt she'd be as pleased with it).

Maybe I'll post some pictures of the flowers, if I feel like setting up the digital camera Mum bought quite a long time ago...

七時上工だ！

I have to admit this really makes it a lot easier to finish the OS (and to make the opening shift pass even faster), but, man, was it really struggling for me to climb out of bed in the morning.

Though as I drove past the intersection after work today, I realised an advantage of working the early shift: I can get my wind shield fixed after work! Finally! I've been worrying it cracking open all the way through the glass all winter. Better make an appointment for next Tuesday. :)

お久しぶりです、ほんとう。

No, I haven't abandoned Paw Wow, and I have dutifully jotted down notables from each day in my trusty 'little big book.' I kept telling myself that I'll catch up one day and post everything, but the gap between my last post and 'today' only continued to grow.

If I don't write anything now and get back into the habit, I'll never be able to catch up. So here I am.

今日から頑張ります！よろしくお願いします！
