Group C/D match-ups for next week are listed after the jump…
Well, it had to happen eventually, and I’m surprised it took more than a year for it to happen, but I think I’m gonna end up skipping a week on my podcast. This sore throat of mine, while getting better, still isn’t good enough for me to feel like I can record a podcast right now, so I’ll just double-up on one next week (well, I’ll still only do one review, but I’ll do news from the past 2 weeks, as well as releases for this week and next week).
In the mean time, I’ll once again catch up on blogging episodes tonight (if I don’t flop into bed first). I’d say expect ef 10 and blue drop 11 tonight if I get them up, and then Shion 9 and Shana 11 Tuesday, and CLANNAD 11 and ef 11 (assuming it’s out by then) Wednesday, with a hopeful Shion 10 and Blue Drop 12 (if they’re out) Thursday.
Friday will be a podcast recording day probably, assuming my voice is in a condition to do it by then.
The good thing about Christmas is that I’ll have tons of time now to catch up on all this stuff as I’ll be off from work. The bad thing about Christmas is that I’ll be over at my parents, and while they have DSL, they only have one computer and don’t have wireless, so it will be a fight to get on long enough to download new episodes. Hopefully it will work out.
I’ll also try to spend some of that time writing new series reviews since I’ve been horrible at writing them recently, and I have a huge backlog, and I’m actually in danger of running out of reviews to “re-review” on my podcast, so I need to build up a good bank of them again.
