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~!
