Unfortunately, no. I have a lot on my list to watch, but I'm not currently watching any at the moment. The closest one is more of a historical/action anime, but they do go to school!
That sounds pretty cool! I haven't watched much historical amines but they seem so interesting! >.< Are there some you would recommend?
Well the one I'm watching right now takes place in the 1800's except it's a bit steampunkish. It takes place in a fictional empire modeled after the Russian Empire, and takes place in a fictional country modeled after Kyrgyzstan. It's basically about these students who go to military school to learn how to be soldiers and doctors to fight in the enemy's army, but as the kids learn more and more about the empire their own nation is fighting against, they decide maybe they should be spending their time and energy trying to prevent more deaths than just adding to them... It's not incredibly historically accurate, but I've yet to see any glaring mistakes. It's only about 12 or 13 episodes long, so it's not very long. It IS military-focused, but I think it's very well done and this is coming from someone who dislikes military anime! It doesn't show very much fighting, the war is mainly discussed.
It's called Alderamin on the Sky. (Yes it's a weird name)
I also think the animation style is fairly unique compared to other anime I've seen. I can't really put my finger on it, but something about it just seems...different to me.
Oh! I think I heard about that one before. The steampunk one. Haha! Animes with unique names must mean there special, right? XD Danke! I'll check those out and see how it goes. :-)
So how's your day going? Utterly dreadful? Mesh. Okay-ish? Could be better?
Maybe! I've got like three more episodes left now and the title finally makes sense, haha. Eh, it's not bad, but it's not good either. The book I really wanted to get at the library today was gone, and I remember the plot and setting but not the title, so it'll take me forever to find it in the catalog! It was called 'roses' or something with rose in the title.
Roses and Dread? Rose and Bramble? Roses in the Courts? XD Have you asked the librarians about it? Or maybe there'll be a list on goodreads on titles that start with Roses. Although, since it's been a week, did you find it? :D
See? Good thing you check this when you have the time. XD *tries to make conversation* Do you play the bass Miss Elizabeth?
Trombone! Ah, now that is an instrument I will never understand. I truly do admire the people you can blow into it, hold the thing, all while grabbing ahold of that other thingy and pushing it back and forth. See? Language from a simpleton. XD
A slide. . . a slide?!?! Here I am, telling you that it's the thing you go back and forth with. XD *cracks up* Man! Who knew it was so simple! With the bas you have the neck, frets, and the bridge. Obviously I'm forgetting a few things but that's all I can remember. XD Trambone suddenly sounds so much simpler!
XD It is once you get the hang of it. I'm actually a third-generation trombonist. My grandma played trombone in her school band, then gave her trombone to my mom to play in her band, and then Mom gave me that same trombone to play in MY school band. so that trombone has been played since the 1970's.
Ah, family tradition. Who knows? Maybe you'll pass the worn out trambone (after all, your grandmother has been using it! ;-) to your daughter and then she'll do the same to hers and THEN the trambone playing within your family shall stay there FOREVER! Or, hm, maybe not? XD
Why not? If my daughter wants to be in band, I'll offer the trombone to her and keep the tradition going for another generation. It's actually is really good shape for being so old! It's not rusty or anything.
That would actually be pretty cool. Oh wow! Your family has kept it all this time? Forty years. . . wow, that's amazing. I don't think we have anything that old besides my parents. XD
Wow, all CAPS? That's amazing! XD So. . . onto the big question. . . Have you read The Crown's Fate?!?!
Not yet!!!! But I still have it!! I'm going to finish reading some library books that are due back soon, then I'll reread The Crown's Game and THEN I'll read The Crown's Fate, I promise!!
Yeeessss! *fist pump* Smart plan, rereading it again and all. I'm doing that right now and, well, *cough* it's just taking me a while to read it. And now, my library should hopefully have it soooooon! >.>
*points at you* You better you read it! But knowing how excited you are about it, I have no doubt you will. XD
Watch it folks! She's gonna blow! XD Hey! Did you see the fan art Miss Skye posted on Instagram for Nikolai and Vika? They both look amazing. Lemme see if I can find it. . .
Aw man, I can't find them. You probably did. . . Oh well. How's your day going? Pretty busy at the moment?
I'm back! Listen to The Smiths is so humorous while having it's Eureka! moments with their lyrics. And while listening to Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now, the lyrics are quite true in itself. So here's a few lyrics I want to keep as a mental note. But first, a gif of Marr. XD

Okay, fine. Lyrics then:
In my life
Oh, why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die?
....
In my life
Why do I smile
At people I'd much rather kick in the eye?
Yes, well, they certainly had their own way of writing lyrics, didn't they? It's hard to take Morriessy serious when he's singing like that though. . . XD
And thankfully Sizzles is now sleeping like puppy. Thunder and lightning have been going about too, very, very thankful she's asleep.
Shame shame shame shame shame. . . Because the redhead seems to be quite interesting and the way those people just stared at her as if they couldn't understand her. 😂 I'll just have to keep asking around and see if someone knows the anime.
Mersh. Probably right. *sighs* School play? Or maybe she's trying to explain to them something important and then freaked out. Hmmm...
