I’m essentially on vacation from today until Thursday, August 12th, so I may not update every weekday until then, but I’ll try.

No, Thank You is the latest ending song from the anime K-On!!, which is one of my favorites, though I admit I have to catch up on the current season. I think this is one of the best and strongest songs to come out of the show yet.

Things I Love Thursdays are where I share the things that I really loved this past week with you! Many across the blogosphere do these, and who am I to turn down a fun way to share stuff?

Visits from awesome people: My boyfriend, who lives roughly 100 miles away, is coming up this weekend, and then I’m going back down to NJ with him for a few days before we both leave (him for CA, and me returning home to CT). I’m really excited and we set some fun stuff to do, like checking out one of the casinos up here in Connecticut and an aquarium, since I love cute animals. I’ll try to remember to take pictures to share!

Sucker Punch Excitement : I am stoked for this movie, I think it’s going to be awesome. A lot of people are skeptical about Vanessa Hudgens, but I think she’s adorable and it’ll be a good, different role for her. Emily Browning as the lead (Babydoll) seems promising too. Can’t wait! (It also doesn’t help that it’s being done by the same people as 300, so it’s bound to be nuts!)

Inception: Saw this with my buddy Heather on Sunday! It was a trip and a half and a great movie, very thought provoking. It’s definitely something you will be thinking about for a while afterwards. I can’t wait to watch it again, though I figure I’ll wait for the DVD to come out.

This is Namie Amuro’s newest single, Break It. She’s one of my all-time favorite jpop artists, and I’ve also written about her before. Forgive the low quality, and go check it out! (Added geek note: this is an HTML5 player, so let me know if you have any issues with it.)
