"Iku ze, ore no mahou." , posted Sun 6 Oct 16:13

This post wasn't supposed to be up, but I just placed it anyway. I just went in here by mistake and wanted to go to my Mega Tokyo bookmark instead. Oh, and by the way, this is not a Newtype thread. I'll put up a new one towards the end of the year when I get back. Why am I only posting this note for this board and not the others I'm a part of? I don't know.

As Garfield once quoted, "No one ever said life was a rose garden." Well, for the most part, he's right. If only school, or life for that matter was like Azumanga.

Well, I feel like shiznit right now. As of late, I've been having a weird sleeping pattern. It's hard to explain it. Besides that, I have to fix up my Paypal account, which is one of the last things I thought about this year.

I really need to get out of the country. School is a drag. I'm getting sick of politics. Most of all, I really need a vacation. Let me rephrase that. I really need a vacation in which I don't visit relatives. (I always visit relatives every time. Visiting relatives won't give you enough time for visiting various places.)

Anyway, I have to do a project on the Ainu that's due at the end of the semseter, which is a couple of months from next Sunday in my Asian history class. I want to do it now because this project will really take a lot of time to finish. While people have simple topics like Japanese martial arts or the development of Chinese writing, I picked a topic that wasn't assigned in the first place, but it was accepted. Of all the students, I have the hardest topic, but I have probably the most interesting one.

If you don't know, the Ainu is a rare group of people in Japan. Nakoruru and Rimururu are Ainu. There's your new lesson of the day.

Surprisingly, my instructor allowed me to teach about the Ainu through general information as well as anime, manga and video games. What a break, huh? Of course, I'll have to use Samurai Spirits as a reference, which is a good game series for an Asian history project, but in terms of anime/manga, I'll have to watch Kamui no Ken/The Dagger of Kamui, an old movie.

So, what's the bright side? I finally received my Amazon coupon and I plan to get a sub Kido Keisatsu Patlabor/Mobile Police Patlabor tape. With the restictions I got, what else could I have bought? First time I won a prize in a contest ever since I was seven.

As of now, I plan to enter in two more this year. I was supposed to enter in three, but a particular contest has a prize of an anime I already saw. I'll enter their holiday special one instead.

What have I been watching as of late? Well, because of school, I don't watch a lot of anime or read a lot of manga. Oh well.

Still, I have been watching Azumanga. Actually, I stopped watching it now, but it's because I want to get the future DVD set in Discount Anime DVD. I have been slow in getting episodes. I have also watched some Digi Charat and Cowboy Bebop: Knocking on Heaven's Door. (Yes, I'm a lucky son of a gun that I watched the CB movie, ne?)

I have been playing some games, but it's mainly only because of my project. So, yeah, I am playing the Samurai Spirits series. I might play Love Hina Advance. It depends on how my scenario goes. Of course, I can't live without my Hotaru-chan. I plan to make a one-year celebration update on my guide.

I want to watch Rikujyou Bouei Tai Mao-chan/Ground Defense Force Mao-chan , but as of late, I want to watch Kiddy Grade. The day after tomorrow, this series will begin. All I know about the series is that Gotoh Kenji is behind the controls of this series and not much else.

So much anime, yet so little time. This is why you need a stunt double. I'll try to watch those series if I can. Nakoruru - Ano Hito Kara no Okurimono/Nakoruru - The Gift Behind That Person - I wonder if there's only one OVA fansubbed. I know the first Tokimeki Memorial OVA has been fansubbed only.

In terms of manga, I've read some Chobits, Great Teacher Onizuka and Ragnarok. Oh and I have read some Marmalade Boy as well as Kodomo no Omocha/Child's Toy.

Well, I have tasks to do now. I have two exams this week. I have a picture of myself seven years ago, and I still look the same.

Here.

Okay! I'll be back in December. Ja na! ^_^
