Thanksgiving and the beginning of the Christmas season!

Thanksgiving was wonderful! I went over to help my Uncle make dinner, and I learned quite a bit, it was really fun! Here are some pictures of our huge Thanksgiving feast :)


I made the yellow squashes, Dad made the green ones. They were really good!

Onion rings!


Jenna and Darby want the whipped cream...

Ham! Yay! It was sooooooo good

Turkey! Meh! Lol I don't really like turkey, but I ate some, of corse. 

So much food! This isn't even all of it!

Beautiful sunset from the porch

 After dinner my brother, Gino, the two exchange students and I went to feed the neighbors horse. Yep.


And now that Thanksgiving is over....


IT IS NOW THE CHRISTMAS SEASON YAAAAY!!!!
I leave you with the most amazing Christmas song ever


Merry Christmas!

"Angel Beats" Review

I was never really planning on watching "Angel Beats". I knew it was popular, and it kept showing up on my Netflix feed, but it just never made it on my list of "must see animes". Well, a few weeks ago, my cousin Katie suggested it to me, and since I had just finished "Evangelion" (which is amazing. BTW), I figured I would give it a try. I liked it. I'm not going to say that it will ever be in my top 10 list or anything, but it was really good, with great character growth and a generally light plot. Heck, I even cried in the end (and not feels/internal crying, I bawled like a baby). It's a fun, short show that I recommend to anyone who likes a bit of action and sci-fi thrown into the a school-life show!

Alright, on to the review!

Synopsis:
"Otonashi awakens only to learn he is dead. A rifle-toting girl named Yuri explains that they are in the afterlife, and Otonashi realizes the only thing he can remember about himself is his name. Yuri tells him that she leads the Shinda Sekai Sensen (Afterlife Battlefront) and wages war against a girl named Tenshi. Unable to believe Yuri's claims that Tenshi is evil, Otonashi attempts to speak with her, but the encounter doesn't go as he intended."

Warnings:
Swearing: not any more than the other shows I've reviewed. I feel like it may have been less, but I'm not sure. (Ok, I'm going to make a page that has how I rate stuff on it... that sounds good).

All of these characters are dead. They are living in a strange high school afterlife. They cannot die in the after life, so they are constantly "killed" in violent ways... run through with a knife, drown, fall off a building... but they don't actually die. Make sense? It's like their all Rory Williams-Pond or something.

Some of the characters have flashbacks to their earthly life and how they died. One girl's siblings are brutally murdered. Nobody commits suicide in their real life, btw, just thought I'd throw that out there.

Availability:
It's a relatively popular anime, but I heard that it was taken off of Netflix. I watched it on animefreak.

Characters:
There are sooo many great characters in this show. I really wish there had been two seasons, because it would have been easier to explain everyones back story better.


Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! (or Americans, I guess)...

I hope you all have a wonderful day with your friends and families!

Something Rather Funny

So I was going through some documents on my google drive, right? Who knows how old they were, who knows what was saved in there, so I decided to go through and look.

I came across an old folder.

I came across an old doc.

On this paper was a list of links.

No joke, one of these links had the heading of "Damn Sexy Man Walks By".

What on earth is this?

I was already laughing at the title, so when I opened it  I nearly died. Here's what I found:

WHAT

I don't ship Murther. Arthur isn't a "damn sexy man" (in my opinion). I'm not even the type of person to say "damn sexy"... what on earth is this!? When did I put this in my drive? I was laughing for a good 5 minuits after I saw this. I still am!

Oh, the joys of looking at old documents
