The continuing saga of Setanta

After they had done bankrupt, Freeview decided to show ESPN America which has been wonderful for my honey (and for me I suppose but only when the Blue Jays are playing) but yesterday was horrible, I know that the end of the Baseball season is coming soon but the TV was put onto Channel 36 and all we got was English football!!! I really do hate football. So let's hope that Freeview can find a way to have Baseball in the Summer and Hockey in the winter, rather than Football all year round? See that's how much I know about football, I don't even know if they have football seasons like America!

For today I mainly will be....

Whinging and moaning about the fact that I haven't seen a whole lot of anime in the last couple of months - it's all very well saying that I like anime and then not bother watching any of it, so we went down to the Space Center and I bought a copy of Neo - I know it's not my usual magazine, but at least I can have a rundown on what has been going on in the comunity. so looking through it, I see that they are really pushing Negima! which does look really cute. There are others that I look quite interested in, which are Oran High Host Club,out on dvd april 2009. The Myth, a Jackie Chan movie, which is always good to watch, I even enjoyed Around the world in 80 days. Ghost Hunt, on dvd from may 2009 looks good but havent seen it yet, I guess it's going to be your standard Japanese anime story. Manga shakespeare? oh yes if it wasn't bad enough to be having to do it at school, they now have Much Ado about nothing and & King Lear in Manga. Origin, heard good reviews, another to put on the list and is now on DVD with Moon phase and Mushi-shi out.

My honey, after months and months saying that I couldn't get Setanta working on the box, pretty much left me for dust in the technical department when he got it working. So instead of getting Setanta because of the recent collapse of it, it is replaced by ESPN America, which isn't too bad although it is a hardship trying to get use to all the scrolling lettering but it's baseball and I'm so excited to actually be able to watch it here. July is the month for sports in our house as there s the Tour De France too!!

I tried a bit more crochet and I was slightly surprised in the fact that it actually looks like something - all I need to do is add some googly eyes and it will be a perfect finger puppet.
