We’re getting near the end, folks. As of now there are only four more required postings before the end of the ‘thon. I’ve spent some quality time with a good book, but now I think I’m going to try some more anime on for size. I don’t even know which title yet, but I’ll find out.

See you at 4:30…

Now, with only one hour (therefore two posts) remaining in Blogathon 2003, I’d like to thank everyone who pledged a donation to the World Wildlife Fund on behalf of Your Favorite Little Grey Duck. Thank you Jenn, Wendi, Erin, Amy, Iris, Jayn, Marty, Sam, Mari, David, Sarah, Lilith (& Geoffrey) and Paul. Collectively you pitched in a total of $183! You should all feel proud of yourselves, and I’m proud to have inspired each of you to give a little something.

Sincerely, truly, I thank you all.

Okay. I’ve moved my Currently Hearing info up, removed the random image, BlogShares, Memes List, one of the Syndication buttons (the auto-add aggregator-friendly button, that is), the Dead Pool link and the iMood indicator. I’m keeping the blogroll, though, so I sure hope blogrolling.com doesn’t hiccup.

I’m in the process of (sitka?) sprucing up the song listings in the Currently Hearing display. Doesn’t it look better already? Oh, wait… let me guess, none of you even knew it was there before, huh? It used to live right below the calendar. Dunno where it’s gonna go once the ‘thon is done, mind you.

Yes, I am crazy for tinkering with the layout during the ‘thon. Your point? And don’t worry, all the stuff that’s missing now will return tomorrow. Probably late tomorrow, but you get the idea…

Oh yeah. Someone loaned me Serial Experiments Lain, and I’m only six episodes in. That’ll give me something to do for at least some of these little half-hour breaks, won’t it?

What do you mean, you don’t think I’m ever going to get off my arse and do anything other than chat, websurf and check email? Well, I never!

I’m not that bad. Really. (Right?)

So I’ve put away the 7th episode of Lain, and I’m still not sure if I’m going to end up really liking or loathing the series. It keeps skating the edge of being really trite and annoying in its little routine of dancing around the plotline and being oh-so-mysterious.

I’ll keep watching, though. Hopefully there’ll be foodstuffs arriving soon, so I can snack and watch anime to my heart’s content. Between housework, chatting and email, of course!
