Hobbies/Interests

I have been able to get back to one of my hobbies that I dropped many years ago. I used to crochet and make my own color combinations of yarn by splicing(knotting). I have taken that back up, and am well underway. When I am done linking my yarn, I will be able to crochet in a straight chain a nice comfy blanket. It will have to be dry cleaned though, since you can't machine wash when you do knotting. It can cause the splices to come undone. It will have a very old world feel, although not all the colors would pass for old world.

I have been interested in Japanese entertainment for many years. It started when I saw Shogun as a teenager. It mainly centered around music, theater, and dance. Due to some interactions with friends, I was introduced to Anime. I like it a lot. It can be light hearted and whitty to down right dark and serious. Sometimes it deals with real life issues without being obvious. I realised after thinking back, that I had seen some anime as a younger person. The first was a cartoon called G Force. It came on early in the morning before school. Then the next one I remember seeing was Akira on cable. Since then, I have seen the following:
Ahh My Goddess
Appleseed
Bleach
Blood the last Vampire
Blood Plus
Chrono Crusade
Cowboy Beebop
DeathNote
Eureka Seven
Excel Saga
Full Metal Alchemist
Ghost in the Shell
Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex
Gokusen

Hellsing
Inuyasha
Jin Roh The Wolf Brigade
Karas The Prophecy
Macross Plus

Noein
Mirage of Blaze
Naruto

Samurai Champloo
Samurai Deeper Kyo
Shin Chan

Well, this is all I can remember for now. I will come back and update when I remember or am reminded of others.
