Eh, fuck the hiatus. If I want to rant, then so be it. >> Alright, this entry will be different. I'm going to put different headings about what I need to say since I want to be as coherent as possible (very hard nowadays).
Items Purchased Apparently, I didn't pay for my Escaflowne and .hack//sign DVD's. *sweatdrops* So that could, perhaps be why I haven't received them yet. =P Well, I paid for both of them, so now we shall see when I'm going to receive them. Speaking of receiving, I got my Naruto posters today! =D I hung three of them up, but the other one I'm going to save until I get more wallspace. I still havent' received the poster I ordered for Alina for her birthday, though. -_- Ah well, I hope that comes soon.
Music Been listening to a lot of different music as of late. Like, music that ranges from Country to Rock. I'll list all of the musicians on my current playlist. Oh, and fuck you, I have a right to listen to 'em ^_^ Ashlee Simpson, Avril Lavigne, Britney Spears (The Everytime Song! ;_;), Cold, Dashboard Confessional, Dixie Chicks, Faith Hill, Jojo, Kevin Lyttle, Maroon5, Nickelback, Savage Garden, Suzanne Vega, Switchfoot, Vertical Horizon. Now that's a pretty wide range of artists, I think. I'm a bit embarrassed that the Ashlee Simpson and Avril and Britney song are on there, but oh well, I like the song. Mind you, I only have one song for each of those three. The others I have multiple songs on there. She Will Be Loved by Maroon 5 is just... awsome. It puts me into the state of mind where nothing in this world matters and each breath of air I take is as if I've been underwater for hours and emerged from the top, gasping. Meh, I'm an idiot, but that's the mood I've been in lately.
I read an entry in Eriko's Live Journal about a song called "Traveling Soldier" by Dixie Chicks. She said it was an emotional song, like Luka (which I had already listened to a long time ago) so I checked it out. It wasn't that emotional for me, but it's still a good song. Depressing, but good. Kinda like Luka.
Ragnarok Online I bet you didn't see this coming. So far I'm at Base Level 51 and Job level 38. So close to becoming a Crusader. Being a Swordman = Boring. =( But I still want to level up 12 more job levels so I get extra stat bonuses. RO has been laggy as of late, which I guess is a partial good thing since I've been able to catch up with my anime and everything.
Midori no Hibi My new anime obsession. Man, I'm addicted to the series only after 3 episodes. That's sad, really. Never before have I been addicted to a series after the first couple of episodes. Well, besides Samurai Champloo, but that's special so that doesn't count! ;_; It's a bit perverted, and like Kono, has mild nudity, but unlike Kono, it's not just placed there to practice on drawing proportional breasts. =/ It's for humor purposes, and it's actually quite comical. It's only 13 episodes long, which kinda sucks. I'll give a short bio. Liz, you could put this on your site but I'm not sure if I'll do more work on Midori no Hibi. I've been rather lazy as of late. =P
Midori no Hibi is the story of a deleterious high school student, Sawamura Seiji, who has never had a date before in his life. Seventeen whole years and two months worth of being single. Seiji is a strong person, both mentally and physically. Living by himself and having the reputation as a "delinquent," Seiji often finds it hard to associate with anyone, much less women. One day, Seiji is in his room, questioning his woman troubles and wishes for a girlfriend. Suddenly, we see Midori, a young girl with forest-green hair who is now Seiji's hand! Midori says that she has a crush on Seiji and has always watched him from afar, too shy to ever come up to him. We then find out that the real Midori's body collapsed and was hospitalized. The body is safe, in a coma, but the real Midori has manifested herself in Seiji's right hand. A mixture of romance, comedy and ecchi, Midori no Hibi is an anime worth watching!
Samurai Champloo Episode 7 I now have a 'secret' crush on Fuu-chan! She's a compassionate character, not to mention pretty (god, I'm such a dork >>). A lot more is revealed about her character, which I think was well-needed for the series. Afterall, the series does revolve around her, although Mugen and Jin do seem like main characters. It was Fuu-chan who got Mugen and Jin involved in the 'sunflower samurai.' Speaking of which, I'm hoping the next episode reveals a bit more about the sunflower samurai, as I'm guessing that will be a big part of the ending. Samurai Champloo is currently one of my favorite anime.
Full Metal Alchemist Episode 39 'Twas an 'alright' episode, but sets up a great momentum for the next episode. For once, in a long time I'm actually anticipating the next episode. Not to mention that there will be a new opening and ending. =D Alina and Steph say that they've heard it, but I'd rather wait until it's actually out. It's by Kung Fu Generation, the same people that did Haruka Kanata for Naruto, I think. >> I hate Archer. Such a sneaky bastard shouldn't be working in the military. =/ I guess it's partially the Fuhrer's fault for trusting in such an alchemistic alchemist. -_-
Naruto Movie & Episode 91 Naruto. Movie. Coming. Out. One. Day. After. My. Birthday. Whoo! It would have been a really special treat if it came out on my birthday, but I'm satisfied with a day after. =P Thankfully Shin Otaku will sub it.
Episode 91 was a great episode, and had very nice flow. It explained just about all of the Tsunade's past (that we actually see in the manga) and informed those who don't read the manga that Orochimaru has offered to revive Tsunade's brother and lover if she heals his arms. We also find out that Tsunade's necklace was the reason for both of their deaths, which I actually never knew. oO; I guess I just missed that part or it's an anime filler. Either way, I like the idea.
