Since we first watched the Miraculous Paris special very close to New Year's Eve last year, we now associate New Year's with the Paris special, so we decided to make it a tradition to watch it every year. It kind of works, too, because it's about turning your life around and finding hope and stuff, but most of all, we just really like it so why ( Read more... )

We had a really great sacrament meeting where our bishop spoke for a few minutes about New Year's resolutions. He said a thing that's kind of obvious, but that doesn't really occur to you until it's pointed out. ...I mean, it didn't really occur to me. Maybe it's occurred to everyone else. Anyway, it's this: When you do something you've never ( Read more... )

One of the problems with choosing not to suddenly go to France this weekend is that now I'm like, "Great, now what do I write about on LiveJournal?" Today was pretty uneventful. That was kind of the point, though. We need to rest and recover. So we mostly just watched tv ( Read more... )

We knew the Night Before the Night Before Christmas tradition was going to be hard on us, but I think it killed us even more than we realized. We got home late-ish last night, we got lots of extra sleep this morning, and we were still struggling to stay awake. That being the case, we finally officially decided not to go to France this weekend, ( Read more... )

This will probably be our last post before Christmas. It will definitely be our last post before we leave to visit family; it's just a question of whether or not we end up posting while we're out of town. We're going to have to bring tech with which to post anyway, because we have a simulpub chapter landing on Christmas day. (We're pretty sure ( Read more... )

I don't know if anyone was on the edge of their seat waiting to hear if we decided to go to Paris or not, but the answer is...probably not, but we haven't fully ruled it out. In other words, we are still wembling. As a matter of fact, we happened to watch an episode of Fraggle Rock yesterday that pretty much nailed what it feels like ( Read more... )

We just watched the Miraculous World: London special again and I'm liking it more and more. ...And not just because we keep noticing little details that let us hang on to our theory about all the events being a dream. But I do like to notice those details, and there are some that I haven't pointed out here yet, so I figure I might as well do that ( Read more... )

We have been thinking and praying about these crazy travel plans. It's wild, because we mentioned the idea of making a quick trip to the other side of the world before the end of the year to two different people today, and both of them were like, "Well, why not?" And we're like, "This is not the reaction we expect from people..." One of those ( Read more... )

We haven't really been paying attention to release dates on the stuff we translate since we stopped posting reviews of them a few years back, but! We do pay attention for the couple of seconds we read their titles on Anime News Network's list of things that got released each week, which is how we found out that the last and final volume of ( Read more... )

Since I mentioned on Saturday that the choir would be performing yesterday, I thought I would give a quick follow-up, because I said Athena would get to sing. The unexpected, but not entirely surprising, twist to that story is that she did not get to sing in the choir after all, because the choir director couldn't make it (for reasons unknown to ( Read more... )
