Paycheck, whoo! My first paycheck ever!

Nevada, I'm normally not thrilled with you, but...thank you for not having a state income tax! I get to keep just that much more money. :p

And it hit me today that having a job means that I have money that I can spend on whatever I want, without having to justify it to my parents. (Shut up. I've never had a paying job before.) And while books are justified (me having gotten my love of reading from both my parents), so I've never really had to pass up a book I wanted for lack of money, now I can get a bunch of TV shows and anime that I've wanted, but never wanted to ask my parents for.

Hmmm. Twin says that she's going to buy Firefly, so I'm not sure I should. I should start getting House from Netflix very soon. I want to get Yami no Matsuei, maybe Slayers...

Any recommendations for what I should get with my money? :p

eta: I need to update my website soon. Does Mac OS X have a built-in FTP program the way Windows XP does? *doesn't know that much about Macs still* Or if it doesn't, can anyone recommend an FTP program for Macs?

Paychecks are good. Spending the money on whatever you want is even better.

Anyway, I have a Mac, and I use a program called Fugu, which may or may not do what you want - I've never tried doing anything website related with it. The rundown on it is here: http://rsug.itd.umich.edu/software/fugu/ Hope that helps.

Yay for your first paycheck!!! *prepares Martinis* Doesn't it feel great? It was quite short-lived for me, but I hope to get that feeling back very soon! :D

Yay for the paycheck!!!

Cyberduck (http://cyberduck.ch/) is a good one that we use at work.

Fugu's pretty good, and if you handcode, it can sync up with SubEthaEdit.

Otherwise there's also rBrowser. versiontracker.com is a good place to look for all kinds of mac shareware/freeware apps.

Yami no Matsuei is amazing. :D It's my favorite anime, tied with Fullmetal Alchemist.

I have a proposal for you.

My big project for next year is going to be adapting Lois Duncan's Down A Dark Hall to film. It was one of my favorites in junior high, and I think it has a lot of potential as a film. I would love it if you would help me with the screenplay.

Get back to me whenever. mmilligan@ups.edu

Thanks for the tip--I'll check out Fugu. It's just been several months since I updated the site... *sigh*

I've read a few of the YnM manga, which one of my friends said is better than the anime--do you have an opinion? Anyway, I liked those so much that I wanted the anime, which is cheaper than trying to get all the manga that's out. :p

And maybe I should get FMA, too, since I know a lot of people who like it. I've never seen it...

[gysecune.livejournal.com]

The manga has a lot more stuff in it that the anime doesn't, and it does some things differently, but ohhhh, I like them both! The anime wasn't that expensive to get, especially given that it only has four volumes, but I got it at a discount because this one place was closing down. I LIKE THEM BOTH I CAN'T DECIDE, I SAY.

FMA is total brilliance. It's just...everything I could ever want in an anime. Sometimes funny, sometimes heartbreaking, intelligent, and the plot and the characters really grab you. OH now I wanna see it again! I downloaded all the files for Windows Media Player - they're not torrents. Do you want me to try sending them to you? (They're subs, and I'm not sure if you like subs or dubs better or don't care, but I do think the Japanese voice actors are better in this case.)
