Odd confessions.

I must admit, I am intrigued by the slightly more serious-looking Earth Defense Force: Iron Rain. Just a damn shame it's on the PS 4.

When it came out, I honestly believed Yugioh The Pyramid of Light was canon and that it was the end of the series. And when the Millennium World arc was up, I was wondering where Anubis was and why wasn't he the Big Bad. You hoodwinked me 4Kids!

I have so many fandom pictures on my computer I arrange them by work. And they all have really stupid titles that sound good to only me. Half are puns.

I honestly seriously believed that No More Heroes and The World Ends with You was canon to Kingdom Hearts.

Guess I kinda understand why I thought the latter, especially considering it is canon now. Sorta.

No idea why I thought NMH worked itself in though.

When I don't get enough sleep, I turn into a giant cranky toddler. It's happening now. I just need to fool everyone for long enough to get home and go back to bed.

When I don't get enough sleep I get... weird.

Like super paranoid and twitchy, and I come up with things that I think are total genius at the time (like the infamous "language eggs" which are eggs that let you learn a foreign language when you eat them, which made perfect sense at 3 in the morning one time).

I'm Older Than They Look. I get a silly kick out of the face people make when they hear my real age.

So jealous of you. I'm very much the opposite. People often think I'm in my mid to late 30s. I'm still in 20s, damn it!

I remember seeing a black man who I thought was 20 years old. It turns out his actual age was twice.

I have a Word document with my own misreadings at over 9 pages. Been forever since I actually updated it but it's still there

I like it when there are a lot of videos in my Watch Later on You Tube. I'm not the kind of person who binge-watches stuff like that for hours, I only watch a few videos in each sitting, so it means I'll never run out of things to watch.

I am not a binge watcher or at least I was before I had DVR. I usually like to watch things on my own time.

I once had an idea about a Big Hero 6 fanfic that involved a version of the Knights of the Round Table that survived to modern-day who use their super-advanced Gundam-like power armour to protect a version of the British Commonwealth that was combined with the European Union to make a national superpower that would rival America, China and Russia respectively, and one of their members was sent to investigate Big Hero 6.

Yeah, it's still a work in progress.

I did a thing, and I hope it was the right thing.

I found an adorable puppy with no collar running loose in my neighborhood while I was out with the dog trainer, teaching my corgi how to walk on a leash. (She's from a puppy mill and does not know how to dog.)

We took the adorable puppy back to my house, snapped a few pics, put her in the backyard with the terrier, and continued the lesson. After the lesson, the trainer offered to take the dog to the shelter. The other option would be for me to keep the dog until we find the owner, by blasting the dog's pic out on facebook, craigslist, and Nextdoor (neighborhood social network).

I chose to send the dog to the shelter, and blast the dog's info everywhere, stating that she is safe at the shelter.

Here is why:

• My neighborhood is notorious for loose dogs. Not only is Nextdoor full of loose dogs, lost dogs, found dogs, and dogs hit by cars, I see loose dogs at least twice a week when I go for walks.
• The dog was running in the street before I caught her. I live on a busy-ish street, busy enough so that I wouldn't let my dogs out there without being leashed and heeling on the sidewalk.
• I wanted to put some distance and hassle between the owner and the dog, kind of like a Secret Test of Character. If I find the dog, then return the dog, it's no big deal. If the owner has to drive to the shelter, see the dog in the shelter, pay the release fee, and pick up the dog that way, it becomes a big deal. I don't want that dog getting out again, especially if she gets hurt.
• If the dog has no owner, or if the owner can't be bothered to go get her, the shelter she went to is a good place for an animal to go. They have a very low euthanasia rate, and they're not in my neighborhood, so the chances of her finding people who will love her and care for her are high.

I'm going to be watching the shelter's page like a hawk. I really hope that she's retrieved (and then given a damn collar and some tags!) or adopted out soon. And I also hope that I never see her running loose on my block again. She deserves better.

Raspy Mink: Saviour of Loose Dogs.

Yes!

Also, thanks for taking on a rescue dog with your corgi. One of my dogs was a puppy mill dog too. Like yours, she didn't know how to do anything. You're making a huge difference for your dog.

Thanks. Momo Corgi spent the first three years of her life in a cage. She's doing so much better...but who knew there was so much to being a dog? It took her a month to bark, and three months to wag her tail! (More like her entire butt. Because corgi.)

I don't see the adorable puppy on the humane society's found page. I hope this means she was microchipped and her people came and got her.

I finally got around to watching Rick and Morty. And I can't stand the-the-the-the stuttering. And the repetition. And the stuttering. And the repetition. And the dragging the jokes out ten times longer than necessary. And-and-and-and the stuttering. And the repetition. And the repetition. And the repetition.

They tone it down as it goes on, that's only a major problem early on in the show.

I personally didn't mind the stuttering. It kinda helped get across the message that despite the wacky adventures they get up to, they're still flawed and thus human.

Yeah, nobody speaks perfectly all the time as humans. It's a good touch! In my opinion, anyway.

But Morty. When it takes ten minutes — ten minutes — to spit out a single joke, Morty. A single joke, Morty. A single, single joke that even Porky Pig could spit out in only two. In only two. TWO, Morty! It's-it's-it's-it's-it's annoying. Really annoying. It's really annoying, Morty. It's really annoying.

ETA: I do stutter and even I can finish a sentence faster than that.

... I have no idea what to say about that.

Sounds like a big exaggeration and kind of condescending towards people who stutter, not gonna lie?

Again, seeing as I stutter myself...

(cough) Reality Is Unrealistic. It isn't unreasonable to assume that there are some people who have more difficulty than you when they stutter.

Also, I'm pretty sure Rick likes explaining jokes that way.
