Anime: Code Geass Finale

I hate to spoil anything for those who want to enjoy the series for themselves, so I won't say any details.

After a marathon of Code Geass episodes, I finally made it through both seasons and finished the finale today. Much as I think the ending was very fitting, it still makes me sad that it had to end that way. It's been a great series and hooked me very tightly to the characters and to the plot. I haven't been so on edge for a series in a long time, nor so attached to any fictional characters in a while.

Most definitely worth the time to watch this series and being picky about finding it in Japanese, subtitled rather than dubbed.

Discover

I most definitely never would have thought that my first post (aside from the tiny opening post from before) would spawn from a letter I received from Discover.

I'd had a lot of fun making collages all year, and was rather amused when I opened this enticing orange letter to find advertising from Discover Card. The thought hit me then that making a quick, compulsive collage would make a nice debut for my blog.

Some cuts, tape, and a smashed favorite mug later, I finished.

I think the only thing I really regret is that my pastel green mug smashed as I was making this.
One of the various things I bought at the beginning of freshman year has joined another in the broken pile. At the beginning of the year, while I was settling into my dorm and into being a college freshman, I bought a cute green mug and a small lucky bamboo. Both survived my first year and marked the end of it by dying one way or another. RIP.

(Oh, and as a note, you can enlarge the image by clicking on it. Then you can actually read the amusing letter they sent me.)

Day One

In an inspired move, Caroline decided to create a blog.
The inspiration? Friends Sim and Quink, of course.

This is the tale of Carologica.
