So I went to the doctor's last week. I think he is pleased with my progress, and I made him laugh by giving an explanation for something as, "Because...hormones!" Also he's changed my iron tablets, since the last ones were not my friend. I have to go back in three months.

And I do mostly feel good, you know. Which is great news. Maybe I've just been badly anaemic for the last seventeen years and nobody caught it and I've not been depressed (I don't entirely think that's true, however). I feel more awake, more alert, and I feel like my brain's working.

What I don't like, however is that I've completely lost my ability to nap in the afternoon. I don't always do it, but I think I should be able to if I choose to. I can't even sleep during the night for as long as I want, sometimes (this post brought to you by: me waking an hour before I wanted to). I like sleeping, which is why I'm so annoyed that I can't sleep when I choose to.

Pfft. I'm sure I'll get over it eventually.

Secondly, I watched the Madoka Magica movies (they did that on purpose, right? ;) )

The first two movies are, indeed, recaps of the series. I don't think there was even any added bits? Though the details seem to be the same as the blu-ray changes that they made, which I'm not sure if I approve or not. Anyway. I cried so hard I gave myself a nosebleed during the second one.

Rebellion Story.

I accidentally spoilt myself because of TV Tropes and them not warning for Rebellion spoilers, so I knew what should've been the two biggest whams before I even thought about somewhere to stream it from. Also the subs weren't amazing, but that's to be expected, given it's only been out for just over a month.

I didn't like it.

I don't know if it would've worked better had Shaft been able to do it as a series. I don't know why it was a movie and not a series. Obviously they would've been able to work more details and so on in, had it been a series, but as it was, it was a two hour film.

I didn't like it because it basically takes away all the good that Madoka did at the end of the series. It takes us back to square one and that, to me, feels lazy. I'm sure Urobuchi has a reason for it, but I'm not feeling it. It also makes Homura into a selfish bitch, pretty much. I know she's been at this for twelve years (allegedly, although I can't make 100 months add up 12 years, but maths has never been my strong point), so she's built up a very strong attachment to Madoka by this point (but Madoka doesn't feel the same! YES, they are always instant friends, and I love that but NO. She knows her for a month, and that's it). I just don't feel that this is where it should've gone. I don't know where it should've gone.

I'm kind of getting the feeling I got while watching Lost.

SIGHS.

Except that Urobuchi is far more efficient at making me cry than Lindelhof et al. ever were.

I dunno. I might give it a go again, in a few months or something (you know, when there's more efficient subtitles around, or something). I just wasn't feeling it this time.

Bahhh iron tablets aren't fun at all. I was put on them once because my iron was low because I was a whiny little tit who wouldn't eat red meat or anything with iron in it, really. Yet I complained about taking the iron pills as well. I was a dumb kid.

But anyway! Yes, if you can get ones that don't upset you (your stomach? I hear many complaints about them twisting your insides, or feeling like it) then that's awesome. Sucks about the sleeping part, though D: My husband can't sleep when he wants, either, but that's a problem that runs in his family.

Heh, I'm kind of the same, to be honest. I don't eat well, but I hate taking tablets, so you can see where this is going, huh? ;)

Mmm, the previous ones I was on gave me stomach upsets, which is why I asked for them to be changed. I haven't been on the new ones for many days, but they seem to be better so far, and they're specifically developed so they don't have as many side effects.
