Pet-sitting is easy money

Sorry it's been so long since I last wrote, been busy over the weekend and some of last week. The president of the company my mom works at has a daughter who left from Friday to this Wednesday and was looking for someone who could watch her pets while she was gone and was offering $25 a day to do so, so I figured why not, easy money. She has three dogs, two of them are a year old , Jovy and Oreo, and the other is not even a year old yet, Pipper. She also has two cats though I don't remember their ages but they are still fairly young, Spike and Spot, Spike almost looks like one of my aunt's cats which was pretty cool. I ended up staying there from Saturday until Tuesday so stayed there for 3 days, though I did learn something from that, I am not much of a dog person, they seem to always be so active, hyper and getting into trouble, I'm much more of a cat person. She did have a Wii and a PS3 over there so when the dogs were calm and settled down I would at times play some games on the Wii and others I would watch DVD's I  brought over on the PS3, mostly consisting of Jackie Chan movies as well as anime. Within the first five minutes of me being there the youngest dog, when I wasn't looking, got one of my gloves out of my hat on the chair and chewed it up, so now I have to buy some new gloves, oh well.
I started up Donkey Kong Country Returns again while I was over there but didn't get too far before I decided to play something else, the game I ended up playing most over there was The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, though since I started Sunday night and only did a little more of it on Monday I didn't get too far, only got past the third dungeon, but I can always do it again later on my own system. The movies I watched over there were Shanghai Noon, Shanghai Knights, and Rush Hour 2, well for non-anime videos anyways. I know I've got the first and third Rush Hour movies around my house somewhere but I just don't know where but I am positive that I have them, someday I'll find them.
I had brought over a number of series to the person's house while I was looking after her pets, they were, Love Hina, School Rumble Complete Collection (Seasons 1&2 +Extra Class OVAs), Trigun, Seto no Hanayome, Zero no Tsukaima, and Kanon. I ended up re-watching Zero no Tsukaima, I like that series, it's pretty funny and of course has romance so that's a plus for me, though I only have the first season on DVD so was only able to watch the first season when I was there, I'll have to watch the second and third again sometime later. When I was finished with Zero no Tsukaima I started Kanon (2006), though I only had time to watch one episode before I had to leave, but that's another series I really like, it's one of my favorites, and I'll definitely be re-watching it soon. Earlier tonight I watched some more episodes of Strawberry Panic, I'm up to episode 18 now and things are starting to spice up quite a bit, I left on quite a cliffhanger but I'll watch more tomorrow, only 8 more episodes to go, I hope things end well.
Earlier tonight I had gone out to get some things real quick from a quick shop and had ran into someone that I use to go out with, Jake, it's been ages since I've seen him and things didn't exactly end too well with him and I so it was a tad bit weird meeting up like that unexpectedly, we chatted for a couple minutes then both headed in our own directions, for the rest of the night I've had somewhat of a lonely and depressed feeling, though don't get me wrong, I don't still like Jake, but rather I'm just not exactly sure what I want anymore, how can someone else claim to know what I'm thinking when I myself don't even know. Ah well, anyways it is pretty early in the morning which is late for myself, so I think I'm going to get some sleep.

Tempted to re-watch Karin again.

Today was a pretty good day over-all, I woke up and decided to vacuum since my cat sheds quite a bit, you wouldn't believe how much cat hair there was in the vacuum, I'd say most of everything that it picked up was cat hair, though my cat isn't too fond of the vacuum just because of the loud noise it makes. I figured since I was already up and about doing some things I might as well get some other things done that needed to be done this week, so I did the laundry and went grocery shopping.
I was working a bit in Photoshop to make another thing to add to my MAL "About Me" section but decided to use it for a forum signature instead. It took me a bit longer than I expected it to, though one part that got me stuck was where to put the username on it, it took me a good 15 minutes to half an  hour then I just finally decided to kind if split it in the middle down at the bottom. Although I am happy with the look of the outcome, I used a render I did earlier with my all-time favorite character Himari, from the anime series Omamori Himari. Ever since I started reading the manga she has always been my all-time favorite character.
On the topic of anime, I watched the 5th movie of Kara no Kyoukai(Garden of Sinners),
Kara no Kyoukai 5: Mujun Rasen, and I thought it was great, I absolutely love the Kara no Kyoukai movies, I'm looking forward to watching the next one soon. I also watched 3 more episodes of Candy☆Boy so I'm up to episode 5 now, the more I watch of that series the more I love it. I'm a huge fan of the romance genre in anime series. There are a few series that I do need to finish that I started quite a while back, such as Highschool of the Dead, Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei, Motto To LOVE-Ru, and Shakugan no Shana S, I'll get back to them soon enough though. I do have a series I'm planning on watching after I'm done with Candy☆Boy, it's called Sasameki Koto, it's another Shoujo Ai series, I really like and am a big fan of Shoujo Ai series, I'm looking forward to watching it.
When I was going through the channels on TV earlier today I ran across American Idol and I never noticed that Steven Tyler is on there now, I love Steven Tyler, he's just awesome. Speaking of TV I did see a new movie today that was on TV a little bit ago, called "The Spy Next Door", with Jackie Chan in it, I thought it was a pretty good movie. I've always loved Jackie Chan, I think he's a great actor, I especially loved his Rush Hour movies as well as Shanghai Noon and Shanghai Knights, Owen Wilson in my opinion is also a great actor. I like a lot of movies with Owen Wilson in it but one I really really liked was "You, Me, and Dupree", I enjoyed that movie quite a lot.
One series I seem to be obsessed with lately is "Karin", I recently re-watched it and I think I may buy the DVD's of it sometime. My favorite characters out of that series are Karin, her little sister Anju, and Grandmother Elda. It is definitely a series I can re-watch many many times and it will never get old to me, I'm actually a bit tempted to re-watch it again shortly. I really like the opening and ending songs to that anime as well, I'll never get bored listening to those. If you're into romance and like vampires then I do suggest watching Karin, I think it's a great series.
Well it's getting a bit late, it is now 12:11am and I'm getting pretty tired so I think I'll head on over to bed. These blogs are pretty fun to write so I think for now I'll keep them a daily thing. As always thanks for reading.
