Oh I'd definitely take a look at the movie! There were some off parts to it, but I think it was due to time restrictions and the fact that it eluded to a sequel movie that never happened - but I would definitely give it a shot! It's probably just the writing that's thrown you off - you might still like the story! :D

I think it might be! It was either there or Hulu - I've been on both recently so I'm not 100% sure lol!
Also loving your avi concept - the aliens invade and take you and your cubicle to space!!

I honestly don't check often so it probably is. I've been watching some anime on Crunchyroll recently but that's about it. ^^;
Thanks! I wanted to use the new CI and this is what I came up with. XD

I think so I recently saw it as a suggestion somewhere - I want to say Netflix though now that I think about it!
Same!! What anime have you been watching?
I love it! The sparkles and squiggles really add to it :3
Have you ever read on Amazon Kindle app before? I just got a ton of free books on there that I haven't read yet, but I'm curious how well the app works and if it keeps your place etc. or what - I had one of the first actual Kindles and it was the worst think ever. I have a Note 4 now and so it's easier to read via the app, but I'm still kinda skeptical lol!

I've been watching One Week Friends. It's pretty cute.
I read books on the Kindle app on my iphone from time to time. It's alright. I tend to prefer reading physical copies of books but sometimes it's nice not to have to carry one with you. I'm not sure what you mean by keeping your pace? Like giving you the percentage until you finish or giving you an estimate of when you finish?

Ohh I've heard of that - it looked good!
Noooooooo place not pace - like, what page you stop on when you exit the book etc. :3
I prefer physical books too but they get so expensive! Plus I get free Kindle books every month and on specials because of my prime membership lol So I tend to stock up on free books! XD;

It is pretty good! I like that it's a short anime too. I'm about halfway through now.
Oooh, I read that wrong. Yep! It keeps your place. I think you can also put multiple bookmarks and stuff. Ah yeah, that's a good way to do it. I tend to borrow a lot of books from the library.

Short anime is always nice - I'm currently watching Ranma 1/2 - I'm only on episode 131 in Season 6 lol Although I love it I feel like I never get anywhere with it!!
Haha No problem! Ah I'd check out the library but they're all way out of the way for me and I'd always end up with late fees or returning before I read them because of it - so it's easier for me to buy what I want or have free Kindle books lol!

I never manage to finish the long series like that. >.<
Ah, I have no right near where I work so it's pretty convenient.

Haha! If it were broken up I'd be better off but since it aired in the 90s I have access to all of it at once lol! I can't wait to finish Season 6 though so I can go to Season 7 - 6 I have to watch in subs because Hulu only has seasons 1,2, and 7 dubbed now - I watched up until 128 in dubs! I think that's why it's dragging at this point - the subbed version has the subs all over the place and not in line with the anime so it's horrible to watch - you either read the conversation before or after it happens visually - total nightmare lol Will be glad to get back to dubs! They are really hard to finish though if you try to binge watch - better to break it up with other anime!
Ohh that makes it convenient then! I'd utilize it too if it were close! I used to live in the library all through school until I graduated in 2010 - my Aunt was one of the librarians and I was good friends with the other librarian because she had been there forever too so I kinda did whatever I want and had the books out for as long as I wanted lol it was great :3

Yeah, I usually prefer dubbed anime as well.
I used to go to the library in town after school almost every day when I was growing up. I love to read.

Normally I'm a subs person! There are select anime that I love and will only watch in dub - Inuyasha, Ranma 1/2, and Sailor Moon are included - Cardcaptor I'll watch in both, and I'll watch Sailor Moon Crystal in sub - but they're kind of my exceptions for the most part lol Inuyasha the Final Act will be another exception though because I don't think it's been dubbed yet and I vaguely recall that when it does it was going to have a different voice actress for Lago me which is going to suck. :( So given the choice, I'd rather watch it in subs and preserve the dubs!
I was the same - I just did it during school hours and at home! I've never been local to one - downfall of living in farm country! :(

I love reading but I hate having to read while trying to take in the art of the anime itself. I find it distracting. ^^;

Sometimes it can be if they talk really fast or if the subs put the translation in two different places while more than one person is talking - I usually have to rewatch the scene in order to read both conversations - but other than that it doesn't bother me too much! You think it would with my eyes not having correct arcs, but shockingly no lol
My bigger issue is with the voice actors - they're usually less fake in subs versus dubs!

The library finally got my loan in for Devil at my Heels. It's the book behind the movie "Unbroken". I'm pretty excited to read it.

Woot! :D Is it an inter-library loan or were they ordering it in for keeps?
So many movies are based on books right now lol The name is familiar but I haven't seen it - not surprised to hear it's based on a book though :3

I was on the wait list for it. Since the movie came out it got really popular so the only way to get it here was to put yourself on the list. ^^;

Yeah, I'm sure they've had it for years but when a movie comes out it tends to make old things popular again. XD I love how the library system works here though. I can place holds and renew and everything right from my account online so it's really easy to put yourself on the wait list for something. The hardest part is being patient afterwards. ^^;

Ain't that the truth lol!
Oh seriously? That's really awesome! I honestly don't know if our library is that high tech yet or not lol That's honestly an awesome improvement - I mean, that would be so much easier to manage because I could get notifications (or I assume?) for when things are do and if I need to renew I can do it right from there instead of bringing it in to renew etc.
Oh I bet! That would be the worst part for me too - I'm impatient enough with shipments coming in! LOL

Ahhh! Vampire Kisses is such a good series!! I've read quite a few in the series! Can't remember how many without checking the series, but at least 5 or 6 - I still need to buy the rest of the set - I didn't know it had been turned into a Manga! I'll have to look for it!! :D

They have some sort of ebook loan thing too but I'm really confused on how it works. I tried to borrow and ebook but it says that someone else already had it out and I had to wait. That sounds ridiculous though. It's an electronic file, why can't multiple people have it out at once? I've been on the wait list for a week or two so far but still nothing. I'm starting to get frustrated so I should probably go ask someone in the library about it. *sigh*

Say whaaa? That's ridiculous. How can you have an ebook option that only let's one person use it at a time? That defeats the purpose lmao It should be like Amazon where after so many days your session expires and you can no longer read it - and it should be a login service through the library so they can activate/deactivate the books as necessary - but you should be able to have more than one person using it at once - that's just weird lol I'd mention it to them and see what's up! It may be that they don't have their settings right or something?

I am up for the challenge! I used to read a lot, but haven't picked up a book in a year now. It is so sad! So maybe making it public will help me get back into it. The unread Tess Gerritsen books on my shelf are calling me... lol.
