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 =]
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.
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.
I do remember Chrishna. Thanks for the suggestion
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).
Take care ^.^
