Take care, everyone!

Journal Entry: Fri Jul 29, 2011, 12:50 AM


Starting August (until September), I'll be taking a break from some things. Internet being one of them.

I'm starting school in September so I need to make a really serious attempt of letting my arms/wrists heal up until then. Won't be able to get them X-rayed until after classes start, which bothers me, but better late than never, right?

Posting this a bit earlier since I was also going to ask for tips about things I can do without using my hands too much. Guessing it sounds like a stupid thing to ask for, but I know I'll get bored after a while if I can't play games, draw, surf etc etc. I'll be asking my fiance to help with the cleaning, though I think I'll have a hard time letting it go completely, lol.

Anyway, some of the things that I've already thought of are:

Read books
Take walks/get exercise.
Watch TV/Movies/animes (suggestions are appreciated)
Study for my drivers license (Not sure if I should be driving, but I don't want to fall behind too much).
Go to the beach (if I can get my bf to take me there. He doesn't like it too much, haha)
And yeah, hang out with my fiance and the kitties.

I just know I'll go bananas if it'll be raining for several weeks or something.

I will be checking my email, and the Tales forums every now and then, to keep up with Xillia etc. Msn is a no-no so if you see me there tell me to go away <3 If you want to contact me, just email me, or send me a message on Facebook or something :3

I'll miss talking to you guys, and hearing from you would surely cheer me up =]

Dang, hope you get better soon Moon. Here are a couple of suggestions:

Animes:

I'm just going to say check out Allison and Lillia. Do it.

Books:

The Road - Cormac McCarthy
Kafka on the Shore - Haruki Murakami
The World According to Garp - John Irving
And any sort of Kafka short story collection that has "The Metamorphosis"

Movies:

I could go on forever here but my taste in movies tends to be a bit, for lack of a better term, effed up. So I'll give you a couple that I think everyone should watch and you may not have seen already. I could probably tailor it a bit better to whatever preferences you gave me, if you so wished. Anyhow-

The Big Lebowski
The Departed
Thirteen Assassains
The Wild Hunt
Buba Hotep
Ed Wood
Monsters
Joint Security Area
Wonderboys
Altered States

And a couple really weird ones, if you're into that sort of thing:

Oldboy
Uzumaki
Naked Lunch
Perfume
Battle Royale
Bronson
Sangre Santa
Noriko's Dinner Table
Marebito


Well...Hope that was helpful in some way.

Oh no oO But I think this is the right decision. I hope your wrists will recover really fast!
What kind of school is it that will start soon?

Oh and here's some suggestions what to watch: Haibane Renmei is a supposedly good anime. I haven't watched it myself yet, but Chrishna from Animexx (remember her?) says it's great.

Nursing school =] Thank you!

I do remember Chrishna. Thanks for the suggestion :D Later on when we both have time and feel like it, we should make this collab^^

I see. All the best luck for nursing school, then. I think you picked a really interesting (and probably fulfilling) field there!

I hope a month off helps your wrists, and good luck with classes in September!

As for recommendations, I just watched the anime Puella Magi Madoka Magica and really enjoyed it. :3 And I pretty much love reading anything by Markus Zusak (especially The Book Thief and I Am the Messenger).

Thank you, Roadie! I've heard good things about Puella Magi Madoka Magica, so I might have to check it out :)

Take care ^.^
