all made up with nowhere to go

On Friday I sat down in the afternoon, fully intending to watch Clue while I worked, except then I got upset about not being able to go to a thing, and then because the friend asking me said nice things to me afterwards and I may have cried a little bit. ANYWAY. So I was in a grump, and I didn't want to spoil the film by watching it while in said mood.

(Clue is one of my favourite films EVER. I've loved it since I was a kid - I think it got shown a lot in the late eighties/early nineties. I caught it again a few years ago and enjoyed it all over again (I didn't think I would) so I've been meaning to watch it again since because I didn't see the whole thing last time).

So instead, chibichan had directed me, a while back, to an anime streaming website so that I could watch Puella Magi Madoka Magica (henceforth known as Madoka because I can never remember the full title and I just had to google it). I didn't feel like watching Madoka, so I thought I'd check out Kill la Kill since it was available on there, Tumblr seems to be all over it at the moment (well, the part that isn't all over Free! anyway), and I kind of have a crush on Ryuko???

Do you know what? I am actually glad I did. It is SO RIDICULOUS and SO OVER THE TOP, and I LOVE IT. I actually think it is my new favourite anime.

(Escaflowne's held that spot for several years now, so this is something).

(I also think I am the only person not watching it for the fanservice, and I nearly didn't watch it because of that).

I do realise that it's probably not to everyone's taste, though (I thought earlier that I bet it's like Marmite). I didn't think it'd be to mine (and, frankly, the premise is ridiculous), but obviously I know sod all about my taste in animes. (Well, that's not exactly true - I know I like silly stuff, and I know I lean more towards shonen than shoujo, so...I know a bit, I guess???)

I'm mostly caught up now (I'm an episode behind, I haven't seen episode 8 yet), and I started watching Madoka this afternoon. I'm not sure what to make of it right now, but it is only twelve eps, and boy howdy, it sure is different to KLK. More episodes tomorrow, probably.

(And one day I'll get back to playing P4 at the weekends, but it ain't going to be any time soon).

I just found out, thanks to fucking_meds that there is a possibility that the akathisia could become permanent.

Granted the entry in question was about anti-psychotics but I think there's a point where anti-psychotics and antidepressants cross over (imho). And I've had akathisia as a side effect from escitalopram for going on nearly three years (almost as long as I've been taking it, which is also almost three years).

I really don't want permanent akathisia. I have trouble enough sleeping as it is without my legs twitching like Mexican jumping beans.

Anyway, it doesn't really matter, but it's YET ANOTHER THING to tell the doctor, who I think I will be going to see next week.

(Talking of which, the doctor thinks - or, rather, my blood test results said - that I have a vitamin D deficiency. Who knew? Apparently it's really common. My BFF* has it as well. But medication for it does not exist in the UK, and it has to be shipped in from Germany. So I have instructions in German and nothing else. Guess I can use them as reading/translation practise?**)

*She really is my BFF. I've known her for 24 years now! I saw her today for the first time in a year, and it was really weird and lovely at the same time. And for all the things we could have both been diagnosed with, I find that ridiculously weird and comforting at the same time.

**I understood "do not take these if: you are allergic to vitamin D". I mean, how would you know that? Would it mean you're a vampire???

There were going to be other things in this post, except that I have since forgotten them, and now it's closing in on 1 A.M. in my part of the world. Also I was going to do a butt-ton of combing through Pinterest for interesting crochet patterns/stitches and all the tabs are open, but now I'm tired so I just haven't done it. Tomorrow, perhaps.

(My pinterest is obnoxiously linked to on my profile, if anyone's interested/wants to follow me/wants to sneer at my choices in stuff).
