Meanwhile,
RJ's gone and gotten me freakin' hooked on an anime series called "Naruto".

First seven eppies in one sitting. I've decided for the moment that Kakashi-sensei is my favorite character because he's so kick-(butt), followed by goofball Naruto and angsty Sasuke (in that order). Sakura has a nifty inner self for comedic purposes, but loses points for a seriously annoying VA. And the Kyuubi no Youko...dude. Thanks to "Digimon:S3", I already know about ninetail foxes, but it's only more deliciously something to see the Kyuubi in its darker glory.

I would still be watching, but 2 hours worth is a lot to absorb in the first sitting. XP

In completely unrelated news, I've got a Japanese/American dictionary that I playing with a lot. ^_~;

And as for my little fuzzy tiger critter,
it turns out he's the oldest of three (it's the Raekos all over again). The second oldest is male, a black tiger with red stripes, two tails, and the ability to command darkness (naturally, he's going to be pretty angsty). The youngest is either a sister or brother (undecided on that), white, single-tailed tiger with holy powers. That leaves Big Brother Orange to be either non-elemental or with the ability to generate a random element (ooo, I like that second one).

That makes number 28, 29, and 3o in my line of basic creatures. Every time I swear off making any more, they pop up.
....oy. I give up. ^^;
