Busy, busy, oh so busy

Hey there! I was thinking about what I should do while I'm sitting here, and I decided to update my blog. Sorry if there are some mistakes, I'm talking on the microphone with my friend so I'm a little distracted.

So what's new with me? Hmmm. Well I watched the Cowboy Bebop movie. I really enjoyed it. Seeing Spike again made me happy, and just seeing the whole Bebop team together was nice. I didn't quite understand why Faye was chosen to be kept alive by the psycho, but whatever. It didn't matter. It was a good movie, even if the ending was a little abrupt. The animation and music made up for any faults. The animation was GORGEOUSLY AMAZING, THE PEOPLE SEEMED SO REAL. BAAAH. I'm sad it's over. Like, really sad. But that's when you know a series was great. When it leaves you longing for more, instead of like "Gee, that's finally over."

Kind of like how Naruto is.

Only that's not over yet.

Yeesh.

Don't get me wrong, I love Naruto. I just think all good series must come to an end. I mean really.

My mom and I just finished rewatching all three seasons of Bones. It makes me sad. I want to start over again! D=

I was playing Ocarina of Time tonight. I'm now in the Fire Temple. WOOT! FINALLY OUT OF THAT HORRID FOREST TEMPLE. I HATED THAT PLACE. I've been told by two people that the water temple is worse. Oh joy.

Faster than a Kiss has been updated more frequently lately. It makes me really happy since it's such a cute manga. Even though they reuse the same scenarios way too much. Good for some laughs though~.

I spent a good 5 hours in the pool this weekend. It was great. Then Sunday night I went to a Bowling banquet since my brother is super awesome, and won 3 awards. (I'm proud of him, sue me.) It was actually a lot more fun than I thought it would be. His friends invited me to sit with them, and we all played spoons. We were laughing almost the whole time. I'm glad I went along.

There's not much else to talk about from me. I've been really busy lately. I'm meeting up with a friend tomorrow to watch some Tales of the Abyss. WOOT. When we finish that we start Samurai Champloo!

See you space SAMURAI.

See you Space Cowboy

Sorry for the lack of updates lately. I've been really busy with stuff, some good, some bad. I'm not here to talk about the bad though, this place is all about the good! SO, what have I been up to in my free time?

Well, I finished Cowboy Bebop awhile ago. The ending almost made me cry. It was probably the best series I've watched. There isn't anything I can really complain about. It was just a great series, and it had a great ending. What's really interesting about the story is that it's just a brief moment in time. When the series ends there's this feeling that those characters lives go on. What makes it even more believable is that they didn't all stay together for a happily ever after. Spike went and did his own thing, Ed being the tumbleweed that she is, left. They hint that maybe Faye stays on the Bebop with Jet since she finally found where she belongs. I hope she did. The idea of Jet being all alone makes me sad. Jet with his apron, and bonsai plants. What was even more interesting was that the plot was almost in the background. It was going on, you got pieces of it as the series went on, but it was never once shoved in your face. That is the first series I have ever watched/read that ever managed to keep the plot as a BACK STORY. Bravo, Cowboy Bebop. Bravo. Any fan of anime needs to watch Cowboy Bebop, it will raise the bar on all anime you watch forever.

I read a manga series called "Ringo Nikki," for fun the other night. It's written by the same mangaka who wrote Lovely Complex. It was cute. You could see that the main characters Ringo, and Mic-Chan looked very much like Risa, and Otani from LoveCom. I like reading popular mangaka's early series. You can always see elements of their characters from previous series in the newer ones. I've recently hit a kick where I'm trying to read complete manga instead of adding more to the list of waiting to be updated ones. I have too many that I might never get the chance to finish.

I've been playing "Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time," with one of my friends. We get on the mic. and play at the same time. It's mega fun. I always end up laughing so hard I think my face might fall off. I just got to the point where I got Epona, after putting Link to sleep for 7 years. I love how Link is perfectly OK with the fact that he was asleep for the past 7 years, and is all grown up now. XD Gotta love the Hero of Time.

I got my other friend started on watching "Tales of the Abyss" the anime now. She has confessed that the costumes ARE amazing. Oh yes, I have backup on this fact now. XD I absolutely love Tales of game costumes. They're so crazy fun. We just watched episode 8 together the other day. WOOT! I think tomorrow we're going to watch the Cowboy bebop movie. I'm excited. I had to get it from Netflix since I couldn't find it anywhere on the interwebz.

It keeps raining, and I haven't had the chance to swim at all this past week. I might have jumped in once. So not cool. The weather was AWESOME today though. I hope it stays that way all the way to the weekend.

I'm currently reading "The Scarlet Letter" by Nathaniel Hawthorne. It's actually a good book, but I always get so fed up with the run on sentences in the classics. The foofy way of talking gets old too. JUST SAY WHAT YOU MEAN, PLEASE. Besides that I'm also still reading "Death by Latte," by Linda Gerber, and I put "City of Ashes" (Cassandra Claire) on hold for now. I might put "Death by Latte" on hold too. I really, really, want to read "Carpe Corpus," so we'll see what happens.

I should probably get to bed soon. I have work tomorrow. YES. That's right. I got a job. I'm working at the library. How cool is that? 8D

I'll try to get back into the habit of updating more often. It's just been really hectic lately.

I've been having trouble sleeping at night too. D=

See you Space Cowboy (till next time ;D)

Rambles of a distracted person

Doesn't the coach look like Larry Butz from the Ace Attorney games!?

Hello all~!

What's new with me? Well, today my friend and I watched the 20th episode of Cowboy Bebop. We only have 6 more episodes!! That makes me sad. I like the show a lot more now. I really love this batch of characters, and I can see why people consider this to be one of the classics. It's amazing. I'm going to have to rewatch episode 20 because it was so awesome. I don't even know how to explain what's so great about the show. It's just very personal. My friend said something to the effect of -- "It's like you get a chance to look into their lives for awhile." I agree with her. You don't really feel like you're watching a show. It's very in depth.

Besides that I've also been reading "Kimi Ni Todoke" (Reaching You, or From Me to You) I found out about it in my Shojo Beat magazine, and after reading the first chapter decided I'd like to read more. Sadly only the first 8 chapters are scanalated. So I read all those, and now I'm sitting here longing for more. The story is about a high school girl who doesn't have any friends. She's named "Sawako," but everyone calls her "Sadako" (which was a character in a horror movie whom she resembles) because she isn't very good at speaking to others, and when she smiles she appears scary instead of friendly. Everyone assumes she can see spirits, and there are even rumors that if you look in her eyes for longer than 3 seconds you'll get bad luck. Sounds kind of like "Perfect Girl Evolution," at first, but then you see her personality and I think that's what makes the manga so appealing. You expect her to be dark, sadistic, or maybe depressed. Instead she is the complete opposite. She's optimistic, and cheery, and all she wants is to make friends with the entire class. She volunteers herself to do things that nobody else wants to do so that nobody else is unhappy. Of course a boy is the first person to talk to her, and of course it's the most popular boy in school. Cliche, yes. Predictable, yes. Yet, somehow, it's really enjoyable. The characters personalities are all fun. She ends up making two girlfriends later, one is a tomboy who proudly claims the fact that she battled (and won) 99 guys in junior high. The other is more girly (lots of make-up), and is dating a boy in college. They're both really loud, and laugh obnoxiously in many situations. They don't really fit in anywhere either. So they're the perfect friends for Sawako.

In Autumn they're making an anime out of "Kimi Ni Todoke,". I'm excited!

Also, I think I found out the date that "Another Code: R" will be released in North America. I believe it said September 4th. So now I can look forward to that in Autumn, and "Ace Attorney: Investigations" in Winter. Tonight I downloaded "Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time," even though I should probably be finishing up the other games I've started or, you know, start a game I own that I haven't even bothered with yet. I'm a genius. 8D

We went to a play last night. We saw Steel Magnolias, which was very good, but very sad. They did a wonderful job. They had a real mother daughter pair for the parts of M'Lynn, and Shelby which I think gave it an even more realistic feel. It's not really a play you can talk about much, but I will say that it was really great, and I enjoyed it very much.

This morning I went swimming for the second time so far. The water was freezing. I'm hoping tomorrow will be nice so I can go down and not freeze to death in the water.

Not a very long post, but it was a very busy week. So I'm spending the weekend being lazy, and swimming, and maybe some gaming. I think I might also be finishing up Cowboy Bebop this weekend. Which is both exciting, and sad. After we finish Cowboy Bebop I think we're watching "Tales of the Abyss." I hope she likes it.

My friend is chatting in my ear on the mic. I can't concentrate anymore. XD

Later lovies~!

Beboping

Hello all! It's been awhile. I've been quite busy so I didn't really have time, or feel like sitting down and updating. If you look at the time stamp on this one you can see I even waited till late. Well, anyway, let's just jump right in!

What have I been up to....well, I've been reading a lot, and I've been watching anime on and off. I've also been rewatching the Bones episodes with my Mom. We ended up watching "Judas on a Pole" 3 times in the past 3 days. xD We both really love that episode. I even downloaded the Placebo song that was in it.

My friend and I started watching Cowboy Bebop together. We're up to episode 8, I believe. We watched 3 episodes today. The series is pretty cool. The animation is absolutely WONDERFUL. You can tell just by looking at it that the creator studied how people actually move. When Spike (main character) kicks someone it's a little sloppy, it's not perfect. It's wonderful! I'm not big on spaceships, and 'future technology', but they do a great job on it. So this wouldn't be something I normally watch on my own, but I'm enjoying it. I'm really looking forward to watching Samurai Champloo with her too. I think that one will be more up my alley.

One really great thing about Bebop is the characters. In the past 8 episodes you already feel like you KNOW the characters. The show doesn't even put you on the edge of your seat that much, which is strange. Most shows push for that. Cowboy Bebop has a very mellow feel, and the music is wonderful! They even managed to give the token big boobed anime girl that is scantily clad a PERSONALITY! That NEVER happens! Her name is Faye, and she's lovable, and obnoxious. Her clothing actually makes SENSE! I'm looking forward to continuing on with this series.

My mom and I also finally finished "Lean Mean Thirteen," and it was awesome as always. I can wait to start the next one! I already know I'm going to reread all of them after we finish. Rangerrrr

Haven't watched Tales of the Abyss for awhile. I might watch one or two tomorrow.

I've also been playing "Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn" on and off. I'm working on finishing it, that way all my Wii RPGS will be finished. I really want "Another Code: R" to come out over here, or at least get some information on it. I keep scouring my Nintendo Power magazines every month for some information on it.

The Twilight -- New Moon trailer came out. The acting still sucks. LET US ALL SPEAK IN MONOTONE WITH NO EMOTION WHATSOEVER. When Jacob phases he looks like a giant teddy bear. RAWRRR, I WILL EAT YOU WHILE LOOKING FLUFFY AND ADORABLE.

I'm a tough critic.

The High School Debut extra still has yet to be translated. Whhhhhy? I don't want to wait any longer!

Carpe Corpus came out. I'll download it once I finish "Death by Latte".

I think that's everything. I should draw before I go to bed. I haven't been doing that as often as I should.

Till next time~.
