Opera Objection

Well, it's been a little while since I updated. Sorry about that. Been a bit busy, and I also didn't have much to say! Today however, I was wondering what I was going to post up when I ran into some new Phoenix Wright related stuff. To say I was excited would be an understatement.

First off, I watched a clip of the Phoenix Wright opera. If you didn't know, Takarazuka, an all female opera group in japan has turned Phoenix Wright into an opera. I was terrified when I heard this news. Especially when I saw the pictures of the woman playing Phoenix....PHOENIX IN LIP GLOSS, IT DOES NOT WORK. After watching the clip they actually do a great job! It looks like a lot of fun. Part of me is like "AHH, THEY'RE ALL FEMAAAALE" but after awhile you get used to it. The group of dancing Edgeworth's made me LOL.

Watch clip here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zYapmRsNZE&feature=channel_page

Then, after that, I found a trailer of Gyakuten Kenji! AHHH, I CAN'T WAIT!!! I'm not sure if I'm going to like running around or not. Part of the charm of the Ace Attorney games is the point and click game style. Then again, I'll probably like whatever they do to it. As long as the cases are good I'll be happy. I can't wait to find out who the new girl is, and I didn't realize how much I really missed Edgeworth and Gumshoe until I saw the trailer and spazzed out. I really hope they come back in the next Apollo Justice game. I want to know where they went and why Phoenix was all by himself when he ***MASSIVE SPOILER*** lost his badge. ***END SPOILER*** I mean even Maya and Pearl weren't there. There was a hint in Apollo Justice that Maya brought/sent him a whole massive pile of DVDs in the hospital, but that was it. It makes me so sad.

I can't wait to play as a prosecutor. That will be a fun change. EEP! Oh, and I love that music they play in the trailer.

I've played more of Dawn of the New World. I'll definitely do another post on it. I'm not sure how close to the end I am. Emil sealed away Ratatosk and is now going to pull a Luke from Tales of Abyss and is going to be all self sacraficing. xD Marta is driving me insane. I thought I'd grow to like her, but she's only getting more and more annoying. Even though the scene where she tries to molest Emil in the hot spring was slightly hilarious. Especially since Lloyd gets his peeping tom title again, and Emil joins the legion.

Laptop overheated and powered off tonight. That sucked. I'll try turning it on later.

Skipped yoga this morning because I felt sick last night. Bleh.

I'm off to do...something. Not sure what yet.

OBJECTION!

Smiley face

I am ashamed of myself. Positively ashamed.

Last post I forgot to mention that I have gotten a hamster. I got him last Tuesday. I was planning on getting a black bear hamster and naming him Ranger, but I ended up getting a brown and white one that put his paws on the cage bars when I was looking in. He completely won over my heart, and after the lady let me hold him for awhile...I knew this was the one I had to get. I named him Morelli. One of his ears is missing a chunk and I found this amusing since in the books Morelli has a scar in his (I think) right eyebrow. He's already at least 1 year old, but he was just too sweet not to get. He's rather fat for a hamster but it just makes him cuter.

Not much else to talk about. I've been watching American Idol since it started. EVERYONE is amazingly talented this year. I'm really really excited. I can already see Danny as the winner with Alexas and Adam being in at least the top 5. I love Nick/Norman too. Positively, absolutely, LOVE HIM. I want him in the Top 12 SO BADLY. We need someone who can sing AND have fun. I was a major supporter of Taylor Hicks in season 5. I voted for him for hours on end just to make sure he'd make it through. Every week was stressful not knowing if it would turn out right. Then voting for 2 hours and on the finale 4! Season 6 was a bust for me, but season 7 was also pretty awesome. I was a David Cook supporter the whole time, and voted for him once he reached top 12. I tended to split votes with him and Carly because I thought Carly deserved to go SO much further.

I have been reading Hot Six. (Stephanie Plum series) Mooner is amazing. Him, Sally Sweet, and Ranger are easily my favorites. Major clash in personalities going on here. XD

I discovered in the past week or so that I really love The Offspring. Their music is a lot of fun. The lead singer doesn't have an amazing voice but for the music they play it suits perfectly. LOVE.

Tomorrow morning is yoga. I haven't gone for 3 weeks. Every time something comes up. 1st week it was icy and freezing out in the morning. 2nd week it was once again, icy and freezing. 3rd week my friend was sick and I decided I'd rather sleep an extra hour. If the class was ONE HOUR LATER then it wouldn't be so bad. This getting up at 8 is crap. XD

I need to shower if I'm going in the morning.

I really want to game. I'm still kind of annoyed with Dawn of the New World since it's hard to see a storyline that isn't doing justice to the characters that you love so much. It's good, but it could be better, really.

I kind of want to replay Tales of Symphonia again. Both games are on my mind because I just got done reading an oyako fanfiction. (Family love, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.) I don't know why, but I've always been WILD about AnnaxKratos and just the Kratos and Lloyd, father and son fluff. Their story is so SAD and the fact that they are finally reunited after 14 years is just so...*wibble*.

The only down part was that Kratos then LEFT to go float around on a planet for the rest of eternity. HOW COULD YOU LEAVE YOUR SON, DON'T GO!!!

Alright, I'm off to shower and maybe draw for a bit.

Dwarven vow # 7: Justice and love will always WIN!

Karin & High School Debut

YAAARRRGH, already a week went by since I last updated. Not cool. Time keeps getting away from me.

I haven't been up to too much the past week. I hope everyone had a lovely Valentines day, or "Singles appreciation day". I spent the day finally beating that Nancy Drew game that I got stuck in, and talking on the mic. to one of my best friends. Not too bad a way to spend the holiday.

I've been watching episodes of Karin here and there. I'm not sure what it is about this anime that keeps you watching. If you read the manga it's a slight disappointment with all the things they leave out and change, but it still manages to hold your interest. I've watched up to 10 now. Kenta and Karin are so cute. xD

Also read chapter 51 of High School Debut. I am seriously curious to see how she is going to wrap up the final chapter. Yoh hasn't left for college yet so I have a feeling she'll let us think what we want happens with their long distance relationship. There isn't a lot you can do with one chapter so I'm hoping she manages to tie up most of the loose ends. I might of mentioned this before but Kazune Kazahara is also releasing an extra for the series called "Enkoi Debut" (Eternal love debut). It's coming out next month in japan, and it's a follow up to the series. I'm excited to see what she did. If it's going to be a few years after the series, or just after Yoh goes to college. It will be interesting.

I really wish High School Debut would be made into an anime. I see so much of Lovely Complex in it, and it would just be a lot of fun to see Haruna's antics animated. Here's hoping!

Watched 3 episodes of Rosemary and Thyme with mom last night. Then we put the movie "Two Weeks Notice" in. I love Hugh Grant movies. I really do.

I'll probably watch another episode of Karin at some point today.

Oh, and I was extremely amused to find out that when asked, Yuna Kagezaki (the author of Karin/Chibi Vampire) said that she imagines Boogie's voice is kind of like Cartman's voice from South Park. It really does fit. XDD

Ciao!

Trigun

Weekend almost over. D= This is not cool.

You know what I hate? Backing up computer files. My laptop has been acting kind of funny, and I have been putting off backing stuff up for weeks. Finally, I'm doing it and it's taking FOREVER. SO BORING. I had backed most of my files up in August, but I'm doing all my pictures again just to be sure I have them. I have a few scattered song files I need to do, and of course, a few video. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to sit here monitoring my computer to make sure it does it. I also organized ALL my pictures into folders. I love organized computers. I can't stand if my files AREN'T organized. So I figured I'd do a blog post while Norm here, gets the files ready to burn to disc.

So I finished Trigun yesterday. Wow. Just wow. Trigun has managed to wriggle it's way onto my favorites list. Just like Death Note, I can't believe I hadn't watched it sooner. However, unlike Death Note, I HAVE to re watch this one. It had a plot that you enjoy the first time through, but it all comes together the second time. You miss things you don't even realize the first time you watch a series. It's kind of like Tales of Symphonia. I played that game and I loved it, I thought it was really cool. Then I played it a second time and it REALLY hit me how awesome the story was. I, personally, LOVE series, games, books, ANYTHING like that.

Anyway, I think the most amazing thing about Trigun was how deep the story really was. They managed to make every episode hilarious, but they still got the point across. Not only that, but the serious moments were so well done. There was a perfect balance of humor, plot, depth...character development. Trigun gets a 10/10 in my book. The animation was amazing as well. The action scenes = LOVE.

**Trigun Spoilers ahead**

I almost broke down crying when Wolfwood died. I was so extremely sad. I didn't even SUSPECT that he was working for Knives. That plot twist caught me so off guard. It wasn't out of place though. It was ...perfect.

The funny thing about Trigun is that all the villains have these amazing designs. They're so DIFFERENT, and most of the time, they get 5 seconds of screen time...and then they die. The only ones that were even in more than one episode (and were ALIVE) was Legato, Knives, and Hornfreak. (...I'm serious, he was called Hornfreak. I just can't remember his first name.) Even Wolfwood who was in around 10 episodes, the minute it was shown that he was working for Knives he DIED.

At the end though, where Vash DIDN'T kill Knives and it shows he saved him instead of killing him, my friend pointed something out. WHAT do they do with him? That is an extremely good question. What DO they do with him? I mean it's pretty obvious his opinions on humans was never going to change. He wanted them all dead. That's not really something you can change.

So we decided.

They opened a bakery. Vash shows what humans are good for, MAKING DOUGHNUTS! Everyone wins! Except Wolfwood. Who died. D=

**end spoiler**

Vash and Wolfwood have to be some of the best characters I have ever seen. Vash has a 60,000,000,000$$ bounty on his head for destroying almost all the towns he's visited. He has recieved the nickname "Vash the Stampede". The irony is that he has never killed anybody with his own two hands and usually tries to save everyone's life. Even the people trying to kill him. It's impossible NOT to love him. He's whiney and scared one minute, then he's brave and ready to take on anything the next. He has a weakness for beer, and donuts and always hits his mark.

Then Wolfwood is the traveling Priest who carries a giant cloth covered cross. Which is really a giant gun. That...has to be the best thing ever. Really. He also has some of Vash's qualities, but he'll kill someone if he has to. He's a little more serious, but it appears he also loves food and beer. Even more so he loves his cigarettes.

The thing about Wolfwood and Vash is that they are BOTH right when it comes to their own beliefs on killing. You can see both of their sides perfectly, and I love that.

So yeah, Trigun is grade A materiel. This makes up for Vampire Knight ending as badly as it did. Much love Trigun, Much love.

Besides that, I watched Penelope on Thursday (I think.). Cute movie. I'm reading the book now too.

Friday night I went to a Dinner theater. That was a different experience. It was alright. The food kind of sucked, and compared to the playhouse we go to the acting didn't seem all that great. It was interesting though.

Ugh, barely through half of files backing up.

Love and Peace.

Love and PEACE!

Howdy! I'm in a really good mood right now, and I'm not sure why. I'm not going to question it though. I love being happy. Oh, and if you're wondering about the subject, it's from Trigun. Vash is a dorkfish. (Gotta love him. GOTTA!)

So I've been busy these past 4 days. One of my best friends and I have once again started watching Trigun together. She's the one that got me into it, and now she's pushing me to finish it. I love watching anime with her. We have so much fun spazzing out together. I don't know why I haven't been working on this series. It really is GREAT. It has made me laugh SO hard. I've stopped on episode 15 right now. Between Vash, and Wolfwood I don't know who my favorite is. They compliment each other PERFECTLY. Then throwing in Millie the tall awkward girl who loves to drink and shoot people (With a HUGE stun gun), but is a total sweet heart, and Meryl who just doesn't know what to think of everyone and gets exasperated with all three of them, it's just pure awesome. KURO -NEKO WINS AT LIFE. That is all.

I've also been watching episodes of Karin here and there. I watched episode 8 today. You know, this is the first time that a male japanese voice ever got on my nerves. I mean the females can get annoying since sometimes they get really high pitched, and can jump into plain SHRIEKY, but I never had a problem with a guy. Until Winner, that is. His character, as I said before, is fun, but I don't really like him. It doesn't help that he wasn't in the manga. He really does just feel like a third wheel. That's what he's meant to be though. Someone to cause Kenta to get jealous later, probably. It also adds ANOTHER reason that Kenta needs to be with Karin all the time. Since Winner has decided that Karin is the perfect woman and he wants to be with her, while he's a vampire hunter who obviously, doesn't know Karin is a vampire. Which, in turn, makes Karin's blood increase. I just don't care for him is all. Not only is he obnoxious, there's something about the way he talks. I can't even explain what it is, but it gets really annoying after awhile.

Started book 5 of Stephanie Plum series. Ranger, how I love thee. AND TANK. TANK IS EPIC WIN. Actually, all of Ranger's crew is epic win. I'm not sure if I posted this before, but I'm going to be getting a hamster soon. I decided that I'm getting a black bear hamster, and I'm naming it Ranger. My mom finds this amusing.

Oh, and I've been playing a lot of Dawn of the New World. The game is fun and I'm enjoying it, but there is something that needs to be said about sequels. THERE. IS. SO. MUCH. CHEESINESS. All Tales games have a certain degree of "Nobody would REALLY say that out loud," but I think that's part of the charm of the franchise. There's a dorky cliche`ness to it at times. I love the Tales games. ADORE them. However, if I hear "Courage is the magic that makes dreams reality." ONE MORE TIME I might scream. That, and the name they gave the gate that protects Nifelheim is absolutely horrendous. Ginnungagop. WHAT KIND OF NAME IS THAT? Nifelheim sounds awesome. It works, and it fits. Nifelheim, the demon realm. THE GATE TO NIFELHEIM IS CALLED THE GINNUNGAGOP? AND THE CHARACTERS SAY THIS SERIOUSLY? I start laughing, every. single. TIME! I can't help it!

Besides all that, I'm still loving Tenebrae, and the story is heating up now that you found out that Emil is really Ratatosk. Finally Lloyd has joined my party. FINALLY. I'm really bummed though. I really find myself missing the old voice actors. The characters really aren't the same without them. They helped make the characters who they were. They made them believable. Now it's just weird.

Tenebrae turning into Celsius to distract the guards made the whole game worth while. It was TOO FUNNY. Then his GIGGLE. AHH

I drew a picture of Vash, and he ended up looking like Phoenix Wright cosplaying Vash.

I'm ready for American Idol to be done with Hell week.

I'm off to read Hana-Kimi, or draw, or something.

Yoga in the morning!

Love and Peace~ *thumbs up*
