Ahoy there! I'm feeling pretty dandy tonight so I thought maybe I'd pop on and dust off the cob-webs with a good old-fashioned post.
Ok, so as of late I've been using this place to post up my 'reviews' (if they can be called that) of shows/books/games etc, etc. There is a reason for that and it's still currently under wraps but bear with me. I need practice and this a good place to start. I still plan on posting up my over thought-out speculation of shows. I just haven't found any that are currently airing that need speculation. I'm keeping my eye out for any that might intrigue me.
Another thing I want to work on is making a nicer layout for this place. I've always thought it looked kind of junkie and boring. I just never sat down to try to figure it out. I'm hoping that by posting this it will force me into wanting to get it done. So we'll see.
The last couple posts I kept mentioning how I wanted to go to Setsucon. Sadly, my plans didn't work out and I had to skip for this year. However, I think it's almost a definite (almost) yes that I'll get to be at Otakon. Which is exciting! I'm already planning out what to do for cosplay. I want to have two ready, and while it's months away I feel like I need to get started so I'm going to have to set in stone which characters I want to do.
Alright, that's enough of that.
I'm almost finished with Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. I'm in the last temple and I'm going to try to finish that up this weekend. The only reason I haven't finished it already is because I couldn't wait any longer and I had my brother pick up Final Fantasy: Crystal Bearers for me. I know that the game itself is really short and probably isn't worth the $50 but I'm having so much fun that I can't regret buying it. The graphics are gorgeous and the gameplay is pretty nice. It took me a bit to get used to the controls but now it's no problem. I'll admit that the characters aren't anything earth shattering. They're all a bit cookie cutter and (at least where I'm at in the game) there isn't much depth to them. However, I LOVE the character's designs. I'm looking forward to playing the game some more in my free time.
My mom and I finished all the seasons of The Closer that were out on DVD so now we're going to be starting Psych. I seriously love The Closer. I think the characters are quirky, fun and extremely diverse. The character development over the seasons is some of the best character development I've seen. I also like that the lead character is a very believable strong female. She's not a genius, she can be very emotional, and she can be borderline awful at times. This is one of the only American television shows that I've felt like I could walk down the street and actually run into one of these characters. It's refreshing to see.
Anime and reading-wise not much has changed. I'm still watching Kimi ni Todoke, and I'll be finishing up Ergo Proxy with my friend this weekend. I'm finishing up the last book (that's currently out) in the Haunted Bookshop mysteries and I haven't added any new manga series to the never-ending list.
In other news my 8 gb Zune died after only owning it a little more than a year and a half. I was none too thrilled to have to fork out the cash to buy another one. This time I bought a three year warranty so they won't be able to pull the same shit again and now that I have my new one I have to confess I love it. It's a touch screen which is really spiffy, and now that all my music is back on it (and I upgraded to 16 gb's) I'm pretty happy. I named it Ranger.
I have to give Amazon some major props. I ordered it Thursday afternoon and I had in my hands on Friday morning. Amazon you are the shit and I will never doubt you. Take my soul.
Oh, and now our printer is dieing. It won't scan stuff anymore. LOL. ELECTRONIC HELL.
Alright, that's enough for now. I have to go stop the dogs from chewing on the wall.
Ciao~
