dmxratedMom went to the airport yesterday morning to pick up Grandma Barbara. While she was gone, Dad had me and Brian move some heavy planks from inside the boathouse out to the side.
I sent a PM two days ago to that guy who hosted Ultimate Girls on YouTube, actually hoping to find clues as to where I might find the Makeruna! Makendo OAV (since both titles in question were never licensed for American release). He responded yesterday morning and suggested that I use BitTorrent to find it. In return for his response, I shared my fanfiction ideas (which were inspired from UG) by posting links to the initial ideas (twenty entries ago, formerly titled "Interesting ideas based on a crappy anime") and the past two entries of this blog in a reply message. I even edited the former entry so as to make more sense and be more up-to-date.
(Did I refer to Ultimate Girls as "a crappy anime" before? Well, it's no masterpiece, but it's actually pretty decent, in my own opinion. I continued watching it up until episode 8, and even re-watched the first four episodes just two days ago. I changed the word "crappy" to "mediocre" in the title of that entry.)
I asked Brian about BitTorrent, and he said he could take care of it for me. Later, however, Mom said that she doesn't want Brian doing that here. He downloaded it two years ago, and as a result, had to wipe out our hard drive. Most of our files were saved from deletion, but Mom's example of some of the files that were deleted were some pictures that Marie took when the two of them went to England in 2004. That is unfortunate, but Mom said that it was only a handful of those photos that got erased beyond retrieval. So, I suggested that Brian make use of BitTorrent at his school, if the campus does have a computer lab like at Dowling.
I re-received volume 4 of A Little Snow Fairy Sugar two days ago, and received the special disk of that anime just yesterday. I watched both episodes on the special disk yesterday, and plan to re-watch them before sending my current DVDs back to Netflix.
Last night, Dad and Grandma found The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring being aired on some channel (don't remember which). I joined them for a bit after eating some ice cream, and then went outside for a while. When I came back inside, Grandma was still watching it, and Mom and Brian had already joined her, even though Dad was doing something on the computer. I joined them as well. While I was watching it with them, Grandma and Brian thought that whoever was airing it cut out the scene where Gandalf is saved by an eagle after losing a battle to Sauron. It turned out that they misremembered, because it was actually a flashback that Gandalf explained to Frodo when meeting him at Elrond.
And, I decided to get ready for bed after the flashback in question. While I'm on this topic, I should mention that I remember when me and my family went to go see this at the movie theater a few days after New Year's of 2002. Me, Brian, and Marie saw the second movie a year later, but none of us ever watched the third movie. Grandma did, though, and she said it was boring to watch nothing but fighting, which mind you, she said is understandable since the plot has already built up as much as necessary.
