I am overworked. Again. With my office work? No. With my online scanlation work. Yes, and whoever said that handling so many staff is easy ought to be shot. In the ass. So now I am procrastinating by blogging here and thinking happy thoughts rather than reaching for the nearest neck to strangle in frustration.

Ah, here’s something. My mom has been asking me if I was serious about buying an exercise equipment for us at home. She’s been watching infomercials, it seems. I’ve been thinking about it since she keeps telling us to go to a gym and work out. The fact that I am not getting slimmer by drinking vitamins did cross my mind, though.

So I said yes just to stop all the complaining about my brother and I not getting out more and having some exercise. Next thing I knew, I gave my mother my consent to buyT_T one of those exercise machines that you see on TV. Yes. I bought an exercise machine. Oh, someone help.

And to worsen the blow, my mom asked me if I also wanted to buy one of those grill things that doesn’t use oil to cook and where the fat just slides off the grill. It was one of those times that I knew I couldn’t say no to my mother and arguing would just lead to more persuading. Yes, beware of my mother’s persuasive powers.

So here we are, a few days later, with an exercise machine and a George Foreman grill (Oh dear heaven… ) and with a huge hole in both my pockets (I paid for both ).

Is this a step for a healthier lifestyle on my part? I hope so, what with the amount of money I paid for those things. >.<

Yes, I dropped off of the face of the earth again but manga scanlating takes a lot out of a girl you know. Well, to make up for it here are some pictures of the four newest additions to our household. They were brought back by my father not a week ago. We haven’t named them yet, but aren’t they so cute? ^_^

Top piano student Chiaki Shin’ichi aspires to become a conductor, but his travel phobia prevents him from acquiring greater exposure overseas even though he should have no problems in getting scholarships. While he feels his musical career is in stalemate, he meets Nodame, a girl from the same university. Though she is also a music genius, she is everything he is not - carefree, messy, chaotic. They may run into conflicts, but they also make perfect complements for each other!

My comments? *ties hands to prevent from overreacting* Watch it! Watch it! I swear, I’ve never been a fan of instrumentals, much less classical music so for me to love this really wacky and endearing series is quite a surprise. I could rave a lot about it, and I know that given a chance I would, so I’ll just say, go watch it!
