Fanatics find their heaven in never ending storming winds

	No, the title doesn't have anything to do with the post. I just love that line from Key of the Twilight, which I'm listening to right now. I've been busy today. I got up at 7:30 AM, made some coffee and instant ramen, played Animal Crossing from about 8:00 AM to 12:30 PM, and then watched episodes 21 through 26 of Chobits until about 4:00 PM. And I still haven't gotten dressed, heh. Medli was busy in Animal Crossing this morning. I decided what I'm going to use her house for, and then picked a ton of fruit and did a lot of fishing in order to pay off the final first floor expansion so that I could get a basement and start going through with my plan. Now, the museum is all well and good, but I thought it would be cool to have my own display of fish and insects. So I decided to try to catch every fish and insect with Medli, and display the insects on her first floor with the fish in the basement and the second floor (which I shall get after I pay off my soon-to-be-installed basement) as her "living area." It actually took me a bit to figure out an arrangement that would let me properly display all 40 fish/insects on a single 8x8 floor, but I think I came up with something suitable. All around the edges of the room, except for the four middle squares in front of the doorway, will be lined with tables, which will have insect/fish containers on them. Then, in front of those will be more containers just sitting on the ground so that you'll be able to easily see both rows. In front of these will be empty spaces for walking through, and in the middle will be two columns of four containers which I haven't decided about being on tables or not yet. I think I'll have to just try out different configurations for the middle to see what looks best. About Chobits, I really enjoyed the series, and after watching the whole thing I think Kotoko is my favorite character. Even though she's only in the later episodes, I like her personality and her reactions to being around Sumomo. Great fun to watch. (And now I'm thinking about how awesome it would be to have one of those things and have it look like Malon from Ocarina of Time, heh.) The ending was basically what I expected, though it did throw in that one twist that had me doubting if things actually would end up like I was thinking. And unlike most of the other anime series I've watched, the ending didn't leave me going, "What, that's it? But what about...?" It actually wrapped up the series nicely and didn't leave a bunch of stuff unexplained, which is one thing that has really annoyed me about some other series. So, I'm quite happy with how the story ended. And now that I'm finished with Chobits, I shall start work again on that update for It's All About the Rupees. I'm halfway done, so only seven more articles to rewrite. Then again, I'm halfway done with the HTML FAQ, and I haven't updated that in weeks.... And I need to do some testing for a generic table code for the next two sections of the FAQ before I can even start writing. Bleh. Edit: Whee.
