Sent back: Princess Tutu, disk 2

Received yesterday: Pani Poni Dash, disk 1, and Clannad, disk 1.

Dad took Mom to his high school reunion the other night. The two of them met some of the faculty from my old schools, such as Mrs. Manella (my Special Ed counselor from 2nd grade) and Mr. Verdi (principal of Longwood Middle School since 1998/99). They told them about me having graduated from Dowling and being all set to seek a job, and they in turn commented that they were proud of me for having finished college.

Mowed Mrs. Schwartz's lawn again two days ago. She came to our door yesterday and paid me another $40 for my work, and also told us that her husband got a heart transplant or something. Afterwards, she drove back to the hospital where her husband currently is, and me and Mom started weeding her sideyard and doing some stuff there.

Mom and Dad have gone to visit Marie, who now goes to school at Simmons University at Boston and lives in a dorm there, and to drop off all her furniture and other belongings. They won't be home until tonight.

Before I forget again and if you haven't lost interest, you can save the money by watching PT at http://www.youtube.com/show/princesstutu. It's for free and legal, though episode 18 is missing. The same channel has several other shows for free as well, but only if you live in America.

Thanks for linking me to that site. However, renting DVDs from Netflix still has its own advantages. For example, I feel more inclined to watch something if I have it physically than not, because online, any given series is just one more floating around. I also feel more comfortable sitting on my couch, a good distance away from the living room TV while watching something the first time, than sitting near my computer in a simple chair. (Plus, I get charged anyway by Netflix, for each month that I retain membership there, not for each DVD that I rent from it.)

There are exceptions, though. If Netflix doesn't have the series in question, or if it's only in Japanese, then I'd probably watch it on YouTube or somewhere else instead. If I've already watched an episode of any given series, then I wouldn't bother re-renting a disk just for one scene (unless I can't find it anywhere online).

I do hope you understand what I mean, and thanks anyway for the hyperlink.

I can see the logic in that, yeah ^_^
