Weekend jig

Can I have one now, please?

Weekend, yay!

I said I have a lot to talk about last post, and I guess I do. I'm really happy for the weekend even though I love my job. I'm looking forward to some pool time, and I have a list of stuff I want to get done this weekend. Namely some hardcore gaming!

I have a whole pile of games sitting that need to be finished, and some that need to be started! I think I might play one tonight. I already drank a soda without knowing the friend I stay up late with is away for the night. So I'm kind of on my own. I'm probably good till 3 in the morning too. Heheh

In other news I splurged and bought myself a tablet. I've wanted one for years, and I finally caved. It came with some software that from what I've played in, so far is easy to use and fun. That doesn't mean I'm giving up work with a pencil. Absolutely not. It actually might make me work harder so that I can get into coloring. *__* All I know is last night I was paint chatting with a friend and we ended up laughing so hard the game skipped her turn because it thought she was away.

So I started reading the manga Special A. I'm around chapter 62, or so. I decided I'd give it a shot since it was complete and under 100 chapters. (99 chapters, LOL) It's a very interesting idea, with all the cliches you expect from shoujo manga. It's cute though. I'm really enjoying it. I'm also watching the anime while I'm at it. It sticks pretty true to the manga even though they changed almost all the hair colors. I'm not sure why they did that. I really like Kei and Hikari's relationship. It's so out of the ordinary, and I think that's what makes the story so entertaining. I always find it interesting to see how writers are going to liven up a story that has been told so many times before.

My friend and I continue on in Tales of the Abyss. I think they did a really good job of turning a game into an anime! It's so much better than the Tales of Symphonia OVA. The only complaint is that while both the game, and the show are hard to understand, it's really complicated in the show. If you haven't played the game it tends to get even more confusing. The diagrams that they put in almost every episode are no help at all, and it tends to overload you with information. However, if you just go with the flow you get the gist of it eventually. That, or talk to someone who played the game, someone who doesn't mind explaining some of the more complicated parts of the plot. The anime has managed to make me fall in even more love with Guy. He is such an amazing character, and his costume design is wonderful. That's the most appealing part of the "Tales of" games for me. The character designs! I absolutely LOVE how crazy the costumes are! Even the most insignificant characters get their own detailed set of clothing, and I just love that. Same with the Ace Attorney games. GREAT CHARACTER DESIGNS. LOOOOVE.

I finished reading Northanger Abbey. I'm not sure if I mentioned I was reading it before. I really enjoyed it. I think it's possibly my favorite Jane Austen. Even though I love Pride and Prejudice, and Mansfield Park too. Okay, in actuality, I like all the Jane Austen's except Emma. I didn't care for that one at all. There was something very endearing about Catherine, and Henry Tilney is now my favorite Jane Austen male EVER. Mr. Darcy is still amazing, but there was something very charming about Mr. Tilney. We also watched the 2007 film for Northanger, and I loved it. They changed a lot of the story, but the cast was GREAT. Especially who they cast for Tilney. His smile was enough to make any females insides go to jelly.

I'm sure there was more I wanted to say, but this will do for now.

I have a physical on Wednesday. Icky.

However, Thursday we're going to see "The Producers," again. YAY!

Dead Like Me rocks my socks.

Till next time~.
