Dozy
After feeling really good for a week, I'm now down again on my meds and feeling a bit under the weather again. Little things, dizzyness and slight nausea - nothing that would prevent me from funtioning properly, but it does make me want to curl on the sofa and not go outside. So that's what I've been doing today. Dragon was off working so I watched some Fullmetal Alchemist (for the second time) and slept. I'm having very detailed dreams that I can remember for maybe a minute or so after I wake up, but then disappearing leaving just fragments that make no sense.
When Dragon came back we watched more Fullmetal Alchemist - this series keeps impressing me more and more, but the amateurish subbing keeps annoying me more and more. Our DVDs are the Japanese ones, and I can understand that English subtitles have probably been done as an afterthought by not so experienced people. What I can't accept is that nobody bothered to check the spelling, I mean even with a bog standard spellchecker. In a very emotional scene where I was crying my eyes out, it doesn't really improve the mood that some bloody idiot typed "poop girl" instead of "poor girl" - I mean one character, but what a difference. So ok, that could have slipped even through a spellchecker - but most of them are just stupid, like "isr" instead of "sir". Oh well, perhaps it just means I need to watch it again!
