I love ice. Ice&#8230;.cream&#8230;. yes. I caved in and had some ice cream today. ;_; Well, frozen yogurt, anyway.

I looked up fillers and skipped like 10 eps. I watched from like shippuden 311, skipped to 320, and now I&#8217;m at 330.  Fillers means the production crew makes up some side plot episode to give the writer time to come out with new plot.<\/p>\n<p>But MAN, watching these was like waiting for the planet Namek to explode! (DBZ ref.) There were SO MANY FREAKING FLASHBACKS but I couldn&#8217;t fast forward because they were interlaced with real new story.  Tricky bast***s. ~_~; grr.<br \/>\nand then came episode 329 which is probably my favorite episode everrrrrrrrrr.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/naruto-and-kurama-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/naruto-and-kurama-2.jpg\" alt=\"naruto and kurama 2\" width=\"583\" height=\"326\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4218\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I won&#8217;t spoil anything and I&#8217;d appreciate it if nobody spoils me, who&#8217;s seen more than me.<\/p>\n<p>I had been laying in bed watching ep after ep and before I knew it, it was 11:30. (I always go to bed at 10:15 PM)  lol So this was late for Roxy.<\/p>\n<p>I love Naruto.  I just realized that I&#8217;ve been watching this for 11 years.  When they showed the flash back of the first episode ever, I remembered sitting in my college dorm room. I even forgot how I found Naruto in the first place. And then the Chounin shiken, I was in my host mother&#8217;s house in Japan.  And then the Pain part of Shippuden, I was in Kawasaki.  And here I am, 31 years old. It&#8217;s actually quite remarkable how the author manages to make this show NOT dumbed down for little kids&#8230;. although it&#8217;s fine for kids.  Stuff emotionally involve us adults, and inspire people like me.  Naruto is such a good series.  I was so excited last night I wanted to jump out of my futon. Er, memory foam mattress.<\/p>\n<p>I miss my futon. \ud83d\ude41   I still prefer to sleep on the floor, so I got a memory foam thing and I sleep on that.  <\/p>\n<p>oh yeah, you can get my Happy Warrior T-shirt here:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.syndicateworldwide.com\/product\/happy-warrior\" title=\"http:\/\/www.syndicateworldwide.com\/product\/happy-warrior\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.syndicateworldwide.com\/product\/happy-warrior<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[edit] omg I didn&#8217;t even realize I just posted a pic of the Nine-tails FOX from naruto.
