Reboot

So, I made a blog a while ago.  Of course, if you are reading this then you are probably aware of this fact.  Anyway, the first post on this blog was made near the beginning of my sophomore year of high school, and now that I am nearly at the end, I have more time to write in this thing.  I have also renamed this blog "Armadillo Spork," which is a response to a name my sister used on a website once, which was "Turtle Spoon."  There is no profound meaning to either name as of now, but if anyone thinks of something deep that the names represent, I would be happy to hear it.
Anyway, I'm abandoning my original idea for my blog ( see the previous post if you are unaware of that idea), and have decided to try a more traditional approach of just writing about whatever the heck is going on in my somewhat-real life.  Interesting, right?  Well, I'll try my best...... 

To end my post, here is a list of a few things I currently like (Only a few of them right now.  I am going to try and include one of these at the end of each post):
  • Anastasia --  This movie is so gorgeously animated, with great music and a fun story.  Just because it is animated does not stop it from being a movie that teens and adults can love.
  • Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog -- I was recently introduced to this amazing piece of awesome at a friend's birthday party, and have rewatched it about five times since then.  Seriously, Neil Patrick Harris starring in something created by Joss Whedon.  Nothing can go wrong.  Speaking of those two...
  • Glee -- Okay, the most recent episodes have been a little weak (except the NPH guest-starring, Joss Whedon directed one) but it is still a great show worth watching and listening to.
  • Cowboy Bebop --  I just recently watched the movie, and rekindled my love for the show in general.  It is the most well-done anime I've watched.  Even if you think you don't like Japanese Animation, this one is very different from most shows in that category.  The music by Yoko Kanno is phenomenal, the animation is incredible, the characters are so well-developed, and the writing is so good, I am using a quote from the show for an interpretive scene for my final in Drama.  Watch.  This.  Show. 
Well, there you go.  My first blog post in a while.  I hope I will be able to write more soon!
