First things first. The dog rescue organization ARANI is looking for homes for 25 dogs recovered from dog-hoarding (basically, a lady that rescued two dogs, didn't spay them, so the 2 dogs became 25), so if any of my Salvadorean readers known of someone looking for a loving dog, please tell them.

Week was horrible in terms of workload, leaving me rather exhausted and making me dream about weird teeth diseases (like teeth becoming crystalline and you coukd see the nerves...) and earthquakes... I did feel the quake on Thursday night, but last night... was there really a quake of did I just dream it?

Not to mention my wonky health caused by Hurricane Rick in the Pacific, which made me really cranky with all the whinny callers. Have I mentioned that I suffer from Barometic Pressure Headaches? I do. It was only recently that I learned that it had a name.

There were nice callers as well, of course, like the lady that says that she loves my accent, and the lady with whom we were laughing at her patient's bad penmanship, made funnier by the fact that all came from the same employer.

OC plushie, which ended up being called Carlos, has been finished and delivered. Chrome and Lambo are almost done as well. Chrome is missing her "nappo" tuft of hair and Lambo is missing his... all of his hair, actually. I will upload Carlos to DA tomorrow.

And all three beans from Experiment 2 have sprouted, and one of them is already showing leaves. I'll make them a framework to wrap themselves to.

Now to the usual anime stuff.

Leaving aside all the Naruto hype and merchandising, Dragon Ball is still beloved in Latin America. Heck, there's a saying that you're not a Latinamerican otaku if you haven't watched Dragon Ball and Saint Seiya at least twice... but I digress. Locally, I've seen more Dragon Ball than Naruto merchandise. On a supermarket trip around the middle of the week, I found this little treasure in the frozen foods section:

This photo is the box that's currently sitting in my freezer, waiting to be eaten.

Yeah. I actually bought it. Because I though it was fun and because it has actually been years since I've eaten Patties (though I don't think the taste is going to be any different).

I wonder when we'll see the Naruto Cup Noodles.

This week's Psyren. Junas takes Caprico (currently known as Riko Hachiboshi) and runs off. Caprico tells him she got the scar on her forehead after falling off a cliff and has been drawing since then. She asks him if he'll lock her up and take away her sketchbook, to which Junas answers that he's taking her to a place where she can draw to her heart's content, so she agrees to go with him.

Kagetora and Haruhiko pursue them using Lan's Trick Room. Of course, Kagetora and Junas fight. And by stopping Junas' knife with his forehead, Kagetora becomes an honorary member of the Tomoe Club for Hard-Headed People. Looks like Junas will get serious.

I'm starting to think that our Drifter's search for the present Amagi Miroku might actually make matters worse when the Declaration of War and the Day of Rebirth come around.

This week's Reborn. Yamamoto wants to go back to the base to check on Squalo (seriously Yama, you've been worried about Squalo ever since he stayed behind. Makes one wonder...) and since there's no stopping him, Giannini, Bianchi and Spanner decide to go with him (Giannini wants to survey the damage to the base, Bianchi wants to retrieve something and Spanner wants to look for parts for a new Mosca). After they leave, Tsuna thinks that something isn't right but dismisses it (which will teach him not to ignore his hyper-intuition). Lambo wants to play with Uni, but both Uni and Chrome start feeling that something evil is near, until Chrome realizes that Lambo is not Lambo.

Torikabuto had entered when Yama was leaving, tied up Lambo under the couch and took his place. So he grabbed Uni and meets with Bluebell and Kikyo, who start attacking Tsuna and co. But Uni is rescued by none other than Gamma, Norazu and Tazaru (yay, Gamma!). Norazu, Tazaru and Gamma's foxes get defeated, though, and all seems lost when Tsuna get's his act together and saves Uni and Gamma.

Byakuran will find it hard to recover Uni, but it looks like the Vongola will have to either face Byakuran head on or keep changing hiding places.

In meantime, between Stockholm syndrome settling down on Gohan on Dragon Ball Z and Sandybell rescuing a baby that was kidnapped by mistake in Hello, Sandybell, I realized why I like V Gundam's maligned Katejina. Compared to Sandybell's Kitty, Katejina is a saint.

*Blackie goes to watch the recap and the new Reborn episode*.

Feeling: tired
