But that's beside the point. I think I hit my calf muscle at work yesterday. Hopefully it won't give me too much of a problem tonight, but it may.
ANIME RECOMMENDATION of the WEEK:
Ao no Exorcist (English Title: Blue Exorcist)
Okumura Rin is sort of a failure to society. He dropped out of school, he gets in fights, he's rather foul tempered. But he always tries his best - and it's not always enough. This is a key concept that goes against typical Japanese beliefs. The thing I like most about the show, however, is that it focuses a lot on character interactions. The music may be corny at times, but I feel like most shounen genre manga and shows really skip over building a relationship with friends. This one incorporates the relationships with the action (particularly the anime - a whole extra episode is added at the beginning to better show Rin's relationship with his father).
The show is definitely worth a watch. Episode 11 should be coming out within the next two days or so. The manga is also definitely worth a read. It's a monthly manga, but with 25 chapters around 35+ pages each, it should occupy the greater part of two days if you have a life aside from reading manga.
As a close-out, I wanted to remind myself that True Blood starts tomorrow night. Game of Thrones was awesome, but it's sadly over until next year. For those of you who haven't seen either series, True Blood is a decent watch but Game of Thrones is amazing.

Edits!
Rather than make a new post, I thought I would edit it. I would like the also recommend several webcomics.
1.) Teahouse by Emirain
If you want amazing artwork, spectacular plot, hot yaoi smut, good writing, and amazing artwork (yes, said it twice), please look into Teahouse. The story takes place in a brothel and is therefore rated 18+, but if you're of age and interested, check it out! It updates every Wednesday.
2.) Starfighter by HamletMachine
Starfighter has edgy artwork, rough love and is a science fiction comic with starships. The plot is pretty good so far, but again, this comic is 18+. Minors beware. SF doesn't update regularly, but it normally updates on the weekends.
3.) Zombie Waffe by Malin
Zombie Waffe is essentially about a hot Scandinavian guy surviving the zombie apocalypse. The artwork is pretty well done, but the comic doesn't update regularly at all. There is usually about a week and a half between pages.

4.) Will Work For Blood by Shannon
There aren't too many pages of Will Work For Blood yet, but it updates on Tuesdays. It's a supernatural comic and the author has hinted several times at future and past relationships.

5.) Loki by Ukiiukii
Loki is about two guns for hire. It seems pretty interesting, but there aren't that many pages out yet. It updates about twice a week around Tuesdays and Fridays.
