I've been runing around in circles

Yesterday some food and cold medicine came to S$8.70; I offered a ten and the cashier asked if I had exact change (I often do). I didn't, but I had a 20-cent piece, and got back a dollar coin and a 50-cent piece. Today some food came to $9.30; I paid with a ten and yesterday's 50-cent piece, and got back a dollar coin and a 20-cent piece. I feel like I'm not making any progress.

With digital cable came Animax, an all-anime channel. What's on it? The rough schedule:

• Cute Kids with Magic Tokens Have Fun Doing Stuff For Their Friends, a 65-episode series.
• Pleasant Young Adult Guy Suffers Rather Than Admit Crush On Interested Young Woman, episode 4 of 846.
• In Ruined Far Future Earth Annoying Teens Squabble, 13 episodes.
• Incredibly Sexy Android Women and the Clueless Men Bumbling Around Them, second series.
• Obnoxious Young Adult Guy Becomes Less Insufferable For Devotedly Interested Young Woman, episode 7 of 26.
• Pro Soccer Player Coaches Kids' League Team, 32 episodes.
• In Ruined Far Future Earth Mystical Beings Stop By, 39 episodes.
• Cute Kids Guide Animals/Robots/Robot Animals/Others Through Fights To Save World, fifth series.
• Can These Teens Stop Arguing And Save The World? 52 episodes.
• Genial Young Adult Guy And Android Woman Unaware She's Key To The Whole World: A Romance, 13 episodes.
• Obnoxious Buxom Women On Same Future ``Team'' Endlessly Squabble, third series.
• Eight-Year-Old Girl Lives Pleasant Fantasy With Help From Strange Mystical Friend, 26 episodes.

I really like the last as Twin Spica, about a girl in Space Academy. The opening includes her looking over a Gemini capsule.

The fastest way to actually reduce change in pockets is a jar at home to fill with loose change as a savings method.. but I sense you're of one mind with me about the subtle inefficiency of that method.

Pleasant Young Adult Guy Suffers Rather Than Admit Crush On Interested Young Woman, episode 4 of 846.

Rumiko Takahashi must be involed with this show.

And I wish I had Animax, now. I've got Sarge's, and am still working through Hyper Police slowly, as well as.. uhm.. Wedding Peach.

When I get home, I dump all the change I got that day in a drawer. In the morning, I usually forget to take some change out to actually spend on stuff.

The drawer's about six inches deep now. I also have a large KFC-style bucket (only plastic) full about 3/4 with the change that accumulated in my last apartment.
