I've been moody recently. Possibly because I've been bad about taking my meds. I have an anxiety disorder, and generally unless I take my meds, I get this kind of bull-in-a-china-shop feeling when in any sort of social situation, that any sort of action is going to break something. Yeah, this ain't fun, and it's usually distinct from my PMS symptoms (which is mostly just crying at anything). On the plus side, I don't get any of the other fun symptoms of SSRI withdrawal, the anxiety just comes back and if I try to restart, I go through a week of being tired, just like when I first went on the meds.

( Anyway, my weekend was fun. )

Also, on Friday, I am sending out Christmas cards. If you want one, comment and check to see if I have your address.

You know, I can't decide if this is the hell of a PMS case, or the side effects on my SSRIs' side effects have come back and the primary effect has stopped working. If I'm going to feel like I need 9-10 hours of sleep, I could at least have the courtesy of not feeling like some hidden project is going to jump out at me when I'm awake.

If this doesn't pass in a week, I'll reschedule my appointment with my psychologist.

Anyway, so I promised a post about anime club and what we are watching, so here goes.( Read more... )

Things are a little crazy, since school starts this Thursday. I might be taking a class -- there's a seminar on comets that may help me, as I also study small icy things in the outer solar system. Also, there's a grading position open, and I acquired a reputation for being a fast grader, but I'm not hurting for money, so I might hold off.

Anime club looks good this year. I helped do the chalking today. A common way of advertising anything at Cornell is to get sidewalk chalk and a busy spot and get to work. Meghan, one of the members, draws well, so she brings a picture from something we're watching, and gets to work. The rest of us help with lettering, flats and that kind of stuff -- things people who can't draw well can be trusted with. So, if you go in front of the school store, there's a nice shot of Youko from Twelve Kingdoms. There's a Yuuko from XXXholic somewhere on North Campus. If the club site puts up pictures, I'll link them.

Also managed to nearly lose my ATM card at the store. Thankfully, in the time it took me to search my pockets, return my purchase to the shelf, head down to the bank, and ask the teller what to do, a customer found it on the floor, gave it to a store clerk, who took it to the bank in the store and asked them if they could find me. Seriously -- the teller was asking a coworker if she could get through to VISA when the coworker asked if this was the card she was trying to cancel. (Awesome people for being so prompt.)

Unfortunately, I spent most of today hunting down why my website wasn't working. Turns out I let the domain name registration lapse*, so I have a site, but no way to get to it besides through IP address. I ended up getting a similar name (.com instead of .net), and now just need the nice folks at my webhosts to tell me how to hook A into B, when I don't know how to get into my site to tell it 'okay, we need to point here'.

* Because the email it is linked to no longer exists, and I remember nothing about how to get into my billing account. I am brilliant, I know.

I got markers. Once the tea** kicks in, I'm gonna color this evening. ^_^ The internet also appears to be working again -- it was being spotty. Not enough to not work, but enough that I couldn't stream music or stay in a chat room.

** Jasmine green, third brew. There's enough to give me a bit of a pick-me-up after work, without keeping me up past bedtime.

So, anime club is starting back up again on the 26th. I'm looking over the schedule now.

• The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya I know the plot of this, but I'm not sure if I'll like it or not. We'll see.
  
• Eureka Seven I'm surprise this made it on the schedule -- we watched the first half and most people were in the 'sitting in the hall group' during it. At this point, I just want to know what the hell is going on. (Why is it half of all mecha series have Weirdness involved. Oh, yeah. Evangelion did it.) At the very least, I don't hate it, though the main characters are just meh to me. (Setting seems neat, though.)
  
• Haibane Renmei I've seen the first couple of episodes of this -- it's a bit slow, but I want to know what the heck is up with the setting.
  
• Banner of the Stars/Banner of the Stars II Hell yeah! I'm a big Kin of the Stars fan, and I didn't think that we'd get to watch past Crest of the Stars, since the first half of that series drags. I hope Banner/Banner II are better.
  
• Utawarerumono I LIKE this series, so I'm glad to see it's coming back. Plus, I want to see how the story plays out.
  
  There are also a few movies, and the Hellsing OAV later on on the schedule. The one downside is that Utawarerumono is being shown later in the evening than it used to be, so I'll have to catch a later bus home -- and 11 PM is about when the Saturday night buses start running not very often.
  
  So, it looks like a good semester. Anyone have any comments about stuff they've seen?
