Sunday. Finally did the grocery shopping. Finally watched “Howl’s Moving Castle” (2004) for the first time, in Japanese with English subs (finished [25]; hmm, 4 of 5 stars). But wait, still planning to see it again with English dub! Lisa’s recent ex-boyfriend came by to drop off her stuff and pick up his keys, lol. Heyyy, he invited me to his next “Rock Band Party”! Watched episode 9/13 of “K-On!” Then continued work on my latest mega-cast! Sadly, my wrists and forearms still ache. Carpal tunnel? Tendonitis? Which is why I pulled out my old black wrist bands (from my college and marriage days) just last week, lol. Started wearing them Friday? Or earlier on Wednesday? The excessive wrist-twisting from last week’s foosball mania? Ah, no treadmill.
