All these series around

Today was an ode to the hundreds of series and films you have to see in this lifetime if you ever want to feel self-fulfilled.

An ode? I lied. It isn't an ode, it's more like the starting of an entrepreneurship to watch only A-quality movies and series. But 'ode' sounds so much more beautiful. Like doze, only not for nap but for the above. Get the point? Sure you do.

I searched new anime-series to watch, since those, unlike 'Deadwood' and 'The Wire' - I'm starting to get into both of them, they're really worth it - only take twenty minutes per episode and are therefore perfect for  the small breaks I take when studying. No more goofing around! At least, not whilst doing nothing.
And, like the obvious and valid-in-most-of-the-cases-unless-you-are-a-really-luckless-bastard saying goes : "When you search, you will find." I searched, I found.
I found 'Neon Genesis Evangelion', another series with only 26 episodes, yay, I love those, they're a finish-able type of series for me. It also got a round 9.0 / 10 on iMDb, so I'm expecting a lot. The other anime has also got 9.0 / 10 on iMDb, and it's 'Full Metal Alchemist', the old one, not Brotherhood, I'll watch Brotherhood when I've finished that, and I'll write FMA - like all those fanboys - when referring to it from now on.
I still have to watch the pilots of both, but I won't watch them consistently, just when I feel like it, or for waking up. I miss 'Cowboy Bebop'.

'Neon Genesis Evangelion'
Since I was on the animation-train already, I looked up the fifty best animation films on iMDb, and found out I still have to watch about sixteen of those. The fun thing is, most of them are those animation movies that aren't cartoons, they're just movies but not brought live-action. I'm especially looking forward to watching 'Mary and Max', '5 Centimeters Per Second' and 'Persepolis', they all have that something.
I have to at least stay on the subject of sleeping a bit as well. This is Persepolis.
The image above reminded me of the fact I still have to ramble about how all this sleeping around went. Well, let me tell you, dear reader, briefly. It went great. My noon-and-evening-dozes were perfect, and as a result, I was fresh all day, and awake, and very, very, active with lots of random dancing. I didn't feel any latent tiredness, though I'm feeling it now because I dozed in a couch and didn't doze consistently. Oh well, nothing I can't handle. Maybe it's because I also have followed the same rhythm for three days now, not oversleeping in the morning and with the dozes working - and it probably is a bit of all of that -  that I felt great.
But however, I felt great.
Really, I felt great.
Great great great great great.

Huray, I didn't forget to include the random-wisdom-of-the-day, and here it is:
"The man who lets himself be bored is even more contemptible than the bore." - Samuel Butler
I really like this one. Makes me 'yeah!'

Enough rambling of these fingers for today, more rambling ensured tomorrow, so keep tuned for more ensuing tales,
