First off, I got the first disc of Kaleido Star in from Netflix yesterday, and it is excellent. How good is it, you ask? Well, let's just say that if the rest of the series is as good as the first five episodes, then this has the potential to be the series that knocks my beloved Fruits Basket from the number one spot on my favorite anime list, or, at the very least, tie with it. I never thought that would happen!
For those who haven't heard of it, it's about this orphaned teenage girl named Sora who moves to America and joins a Cirque du Soleil-esque performing circus called Kaleido Stage. She's a bit behind the other members in terms of experience and skill, but she is destined for the stage, or so says the Fool, the ecchi, doll-sized "spirit of the stage" who only Sora can see. With beautiful animation, engaging characters, and a lot of humor and heart, I'd definitely say this is a must-see anime for all shoujo lovers. ^_^
Second, Mom just found my copy of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, which has been missing ever since I first finished it during the aftermath of Hurricane Rita. Apparently, it was underneath my video/DVD/manga bookcase the entire time, although how it got there in the first place, I have no idea. Now I'm glad I never bought a replacement copy like I was tempted to do a couple of times. I can't believe it finally turned up after all these months!
Third, still haven't finished FFIVA yet, although I've made it to the final boss a few times. *sigh* I'll have to work extra hard tonight, since I would really like to finish before tomorrow so I won't be distracted from writing again.
And, to finish things off, a meme from Kate.

1. He should definitely have a sense of humor. He doesn't have to be Jerry Seinfeld, but I like guys who can make me laugh. Besides, my sister always says I'm entirely too easy to amuse, and as much as I hate to admit it, I really am. *laughs*
2. Intelligence is also a must. I don't think I could ever be with someone who I didn't think was at least as smart as me.
3. He would make me feel good about myself, although not with false flattery. I love getting compliments, but only if they're sincere.
4. Somebody who understands that I like my "me" time. I am definitely not the type of girl who has to spend every single waking moment with my boyfriend.
5. Somebody who shares my interests, or, if he doesn't, at least doesn't ridicule them or try to get me to give them up.
6. Somebody who makes me feel beautiful and desirable, even though I'm not.
7. Someone who can provide me with security. Not necessarily financial (although that would certainly be nice), but I like safe and dependable.
8. Someone honest, sensitive, and kind.
