March Faves!

Here's to another month with a few of my favourites. I have delved into some things that I use to do during my teenage angst filled years, so these are not actually new to probably anyone. That is, unless you've been living under a rock and have no idea about late 90s-early 2000 pop culture. (I don't know why I exactly said late 90s since my teenage years began circa 2003, but any way...continuing on. 

I wouldn't say I was exactly obsessed with reading Japanese manga, but there were definitely a few manga series that I would read under the covers late at night after all my homework was done and I had to sleep. One of them in particular was called "Kare Kano." I won't talk about what it's about necessarily, because then I would just be seen as that girl, the one that read girly novels and watched chick flicks. Yeah, I did that sometimes during my teenage years, but it wasn't always about that. Well recently, I found they had a cartoon based on the same manga series, and I was obviously excited to see it. So for the last few days, I have been crazily going through episode after episode. However, I must say that the comics are much better about developing the relationship between the characters, but it's neat to see the characters come to life and have distinct voices for each one.


Another thing I can't get enough of this month is bananas with peanut butter. Mmm... just thinking about it now makes me really want some. It's really weird, I think, because I actually don't like bananas or peanut butter by themselves. Together, however, I think they are one of the best combinations ever, a serious OTP!


Returning again to my teenage years, who could ever get enough of "The Postal Service." After 10 years since their last album, the band has decided to get back together and go on tour. Being this was one of my favourite bands when I was younger, I couldn't resist purchasing a ticket. Luckily they are doing a show in Vancouver, the same time I will be there. Woohoo, just my luck! (Update: I have to wait until April 24th for presale....dang!)
