Look! I exist! \o/

Actually, I've been exisiting online - just not here. My deviantART account, for example, was loaded down with lots of photos back in September and October.

My LiveJournal is updated every two or three days.

TV.com?

Yeah, not so much. It's not that I stopped coming to the site - on the contaray I'm still here almost daily. I'm just not into the blogging, the contributing, and chatting on the forums. Which is kind of funny, because I have a lot of good friends here, which I hardly ever talk to anymore. :3

Awww, I kind of miss all of you! I hope everyone is doing well. I'm doing VERY well, married life is treating me good, and all in all I don't have any complaints. (Well, the family drama still exists, but any more it's not the firestorm is was.)

Greetings everyone. I know it's been a while since I've been here, but let's face it - I just don't feel like this is a place to be anymore. I blog mostly on LJ anymore, as well as spend quality time hanging with my peeps on MySpace.

The only reason why I'm even here posting another blog is because this is TV related news, and what better place to post it than on TV.com, right?

On Wednesday, June 18th, show number 5488 aired, and Double Jeopardy! featured an entire category of anime questions. You heard me, an entire category for anime questions. The J! Archive lists the answers and the questions for reference if you don't quite believe me.

Here are the answers followed by the questions written in white. You can highlight to read them. How many do you know?

$400 - This anime show didn't start on TV; it's charaters were first part of Nintendo's "Pocket Monsters."

What is Pokemon?

$800 - This 5-letter anime film isn't named for director Kurosawa but rather a boy who destroys Tokyo.

What is Akira?

$1200 - In this anime TV series Bumblebee turned into a VW Bug; in the 2007 live-action movie he got upgraded to a Camaro.

What is Transformers?

$1600 - This "lunar" Naoko Takeuchi creation is an example of a "magical girl" given powers to save the world.

What is Sailor Moon? (Acceptable answers probably included "What is Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon?" and "What is Bishojo Senshi Sera Mun?")

$2000 - One of the highest grossing films in Japanese history is the anime film about this title 14th c. princess.

What is "Princess Mononoke?" (Another acceptable answer should have been "What is Mononoke-hime?" though I don't know if any of the contestants would have actually known the original Japanese title to the film.)

For those who want double check that I'm not pulling anyone's leg - check the J! Archive and see that I'm not kidding. I didn't actually get to watch the show (in which case I'm pretty sure my husband just would have sighed and shook his head and then would have informed me I needed a life), but I have this all on good account.

Anime - not just for entertainment, it can make you money!

After suffering with metal in my mouth for the last year and a half, I've finally become baces free. Yay! Now I'm adjusting to the retainer. Two clear, acrylic molds of my mouth that are tearing up my tongue. Oh well, I only have to wear it full time for 6-9 months, and then I get to wear it only at night.

Well, I should go check in on the husband - he's home with the flu and is about as useful as a sharp stick in the eye.
