1939651 Hehehe... :) My husband and I have watched so far Dragonball, Dragoball Z (current), Yu-Gi-Oh, and YuYu Hakusho (all series). We have fun watching them... he likes the fighting scenes and I like the stories behind it. Fun stuff.

Kristen... I guess we all have a little nerd in us! 8~D


message 73: by Kristen (new)

327471 I've been watching a lot of shoot em ups... or action-y ones. Bleach and Black Lagoon at home right now. I'm actually going to take a break from it soon and watch True Blood.

message 70: by Linda Grace (new)

1939651 I'm really behind as well, but that has to do with my husband and I watching Dragonball Z from Netflix and every night when I get home there is a new disk for us to watch... :) I will catch up as well.


message 69: by Jenna (new)

1377990 Wow everyone is doing so well! I was on track until I started reading The Book Thief.
