I haven't updated my livejournal in a long time, but Im supposed to be typing a paper so here I am.
So anyways, heres whats up in my life (if anyone even still checks LJ).
Bev's and mine 1 year anniversary is coming up on November 2nd. We've got a big weekend planned, heading up to KC to stay on the plaza then we are heading over to the crown center to relax in another hotel. Gonna shop and hang out and eat and visit the sights.
Anime wise I haven't watched much. I'm still working on Mahoromatic 2, but I'm almost finished with that. Manga wise i just read Naruto to be honest.
My big entertainment bit right now is Comic books. I read every comic in the DC universe and in the Marvel universe as they come out so I'm totally caught up. I'm loving World War Hulk, but I wish Spider-man played a bigger part in the series. He is my favorite =).
Hmmm what else. The other day I bought a 14 movie collection of Hayao Miyazaki movies (spirited away, laputa: castle in the sky, howl's moving castle, ect. ect. IM SOOO excited to get that. I love all of those movies but when I got my new computer the codex' got all screwed up and they won't play correctly on the new computer. Plus I can take these DVDs wherever I go! I also bought the 25 year anniversary edition of "The last unicorn" which was the first cartoon movie I ever watched and loved (either that or pete's dragon I cant remember which was first). My John Wayne collection is now up to 25 movies with the edition of Hitari and ElDorado. My vin desiel collection is up to 5 movies.
My snowboard boots were too small so Im selling them on Ebay (justin if you want a brand new pair of 10.5 Burton Freestyle LTD, Ill sell them to you). So I bought some 2008 Burton Tributes which havent arrived yet. But once I get them I need to buy a new ski bib and then Im set for the snow season. So excited, weve got 8 days planned so far, 5 in Dec and 3 in March. And im sure more trips to snowcreek too. So it should be a great season.
Bookwise Im anticipating the release of the final installment of Terry Goodkind's chainfire trilogy which will end the Sword of Truth series. I also am incapable of finding a copy of Elizabeth Haydon's Assassin King (did you know when i spelled it assasine it wouldn't give me assassin as an optional spelling how gay is Microsoft). I also picked up for really cheap Eragon and Eldest which I haven't had a chance to start yet. What else... Oh ok here we go:
Amy if you haven't read this yet you need to. Basically its a what if of Alice in Wonderland where Lewis Carrol got it horribly wrong (get this, the main character is horribly angry because he misspelled her name to Alice from Alyss Heart. Its awesome. They have it for 10 on amazon and I think like 14 at Borders (you could borrow mine but Im not done with it).
Hmm ok, what else. Work is going good, Im still the Educational Coordinator for the BRIDGES program at the Wichita Children's Home.
Thats all I can think of. Feel free to leave a comment, though I know no one ever does. Oh why do I torture myself!
Ok. Its been a month since my last post. There is a reason for this post.
First off. Begining with the real news. The only thing that matters really. Truly. And forever.
JUSTICE LEAGUE UNITE!!! SAVE THE WORLD!!! I had to stop the tape when I saw this, because I spazzed out. I mean I was kicking cushions all over the place, blankets were flying, I spilled my drink. I think this preview gave me a seizure of awesomeness. You have no freakin clue how cool this is. Its just plain amazing I tell you what. I cant even express into words really how much this rules.
Ok. Personal news. Umm, nothing new really.
I got the Wichita Childrens Home job. Been there for 3 weeks. Worked 71 hours this week. Working 62 next week. Yeah. Umm but its good. I like it alot. If you want to know what I do exactly ask because I dont really feel like typing such a long explanation at this very moment, but I dont mind saying it. Hmm thats about it really for that.
I start my prep courses for the Illinois State Peace Corp Masters International program this spring. So Im excited to finally get that started. Taking just two classes, then one in the summer, then two more in the fall. Ill apply during the spring 2008 semester for the fall 2008 semester. Its all looking very good though to be honest with you.
Umm things with Bev are going dandy. We're looking forward to our first Christmas together. Lots of presents talk all around. Thats about it for that.
Anime news. I havent watched much new anime. I tried three new series out recently. Sakura Diaries, Niea 7, and Kuragane Communication. None of which were very good. The animation and vocies on Niea 7 didnt sink up very well and it was like some kid made it with flash 5.0, Kuragane Communcation had nearly no plot, and the episodes were all 13 minutes long or some shit. Both of those anime were kind of old too, or at least seemed old, Niea 7 was from 2000 but it was still pretty sucky. Sakura Diaries actually had a great story and the animation was certainly liveable. So I dont have any problems with it. Its good, just not great, make me sad when its over. Next up on the netflix is Mahoromatic which is highly recommended so well see how that goes.
Im trying to think if anything else has actually changed. But nothing I can think of really. If I think of something Ill add it later. Thats all for now.
Relient K - Over thinking (appropriate dont ya think)
]
If I was on schedule I would have 20,000 words done by the end of the day. But Im not on time. Forcing myself to write like this just sucks. Im really not enjoying myself, Im still 7k words behind. Bleh. This really sucks. Im having to force myself to write just to catch up to the total. And the worst part is, I have no idea where I want the story to go. I didnt think this out very well I dont think. Maybe I should have gone with the fantasy story. 12,637 and counting.
Umm, other news. Job interview the Wichita Children's Home Tomorrow, so that should be fun. Things with Bev are going well. In combined news, the job Im going for is 2-10m-f, and Bev's days off are Tues and Wed, and Sat, so Im a little frustrated that our days off will be a bit screwed. Theres another job with wierder hours but it matches Bev's days off more, its also at the wichita children's home, working for the bridges program which is a transitioning program between kids aging out of the system. Its hours are Monday Friday and a rotating day betwene there 4-12pm, and then Sat/Sun 8-4pm. So its a little wierder hours, but they match up a bit better. I dont know which one is best. I got nothing else.
[EDIT] OH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD 13404 words. In like 2 hours Ive only written 900 words. I want to give up! Someone kill me.
[EDIT] Ok, im no longer panicking. Ive decided that If I can it 15k tonight, then that will be plenty. And Ill just have to play catch up slowly because its not working to do it quickly. Lol I cant write 8k of nothing in one sitting. i dont like my story enough.
[EDIT] 14011, its actually comming a bit easier now, but not by much. Another 1k and unless I really feel like continuin, I think Im gonna call it a night.
[EDIT] 15043 and chapter 4 is now ended. Im going to bed.
No anime updates because NaNoWriMo is a whore, a filthy cheating whore who deserves cyphalus and the clap. And those little red things that I saw in someones nursing book. ROT AND DIE YOU BITCH!!!
3 hours from starting the first chapter is done. The word count is currently at 3297. I finished reading the first chapter again and I have to say, Im pretty proud of it. But it made me tired.
Ai Yori Aoshi 5 gets here tonight. So Ill have that finished tonight. Maybe a review Tomorrow.
Ok. This is only peice of my novel that I am going to post on LJ. Its the prologue. Ill try to find a link to the actual NaNo site that lets you see my novel, if you can. Anyways. Here it is. Please dear GOD TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK. Keep in mind its fiction, so I dont want to hear, your incorrect.
Prologue
Currently in the world, there are over one hundred recognized theories of creationism. From the currently accepted science view of primordial ooze and evolution to a rare African tribe in the Congo that believes we sprang from the stars themselves. In every case the explanations given can only explain a small fraction of what goes on in our world. There is so much unknown, but worse then the unknown is where the unknown came from. It’s a little like the chicken and the egg: if the chicken was a weapon capable of destroying entire cities, and the egg was its unknown origin. That’s pretty much how people like me are described. We’re aberrations not only in the norm for human society; we are aberrations in the genetic pool from where we have evolved. For this reason some have labeled us mutants. But that is a misnomer. In my opinion in order for a mutant you must only contain a few characteristics that differ from the norm of human skills and abilities. People like me, we are far more. Our abilities and organ placement aside, we think completely differently, we act in a way that is contrary to human thought; unfortunately one trait that we all share with humanity is that we all want to belong, be normal. I suppose that’s where most of the problems for my kind comes into play, I mean, how do you expect to live a normal life, when you can do the things that we can do? The simple answer is that you can't. We are not human, we are something else.
well the day isnt going swell anymore. Its going fine mind you, just not swell. The only thing to happen thats really bad is that Enishi wont get mailed till Tomorrow so I wont get it till Thursday, but oh well. So Ill watch 3-4 tonight, and mail them tomorrow, then theyll get them on Friday and Hopefully Ill get 2-3 of Enishi on Sat., but I probably wont until Monday, just because thats how that works. But Im gonna be so busy this week that it really doesnt affect me like normal.
Today is a joyous day. NaNo starts tonight at Midnight. Ive rediscovered Murakami Haruki's Sputnik Sweetheart. I will be recieving DVD 3 of Ai Yori Aoshi, which means that I can watch 3-4 tonight!! And Netflix recieved my two DVDs today, one will be returned as the last DVD of Ai Yori Aoshi, and the other will be the first DVD of Ai Yori Aoshi: Enishi (YES IT BECAME AVAILIBLE TODAY WHAT WONDERFUL TIMING).
2 more days till NaNo. That is all for that, or I found my intro chapter. Yay.
I am completely caught up on Naruto. 207 episodes and 2 movies down. Id review it, but theres just to much, and its Naruto so no one cares. I will say this about Naruto. I think its the most important point that one can make... where the fuck do they keep getting those goddamned logs for the substituion technique. I mean seriously, every goddamned time they use it theres a giant fucking log and they sure as fuck didnt have it before jumping down a cliff or taking a shuriken to the chest. So where the fuck do they keep those goddamned logs.
Ah, My Goddess is on DL. It will be done within the hour, dunno when i will watch it. I still have Perfect Blue, Full Metal Panic: TSR, and Bleach to watch. And Ocean Waves still, Alex said he wanted to watch it so Im waiting for him. Anyways, no idea when Im going to watch any of it. The other problem, is I dont know whether to watch Oh, My Goddess, and Ah, My Goddess the Movie or not before I watch the series. You see the 5 episode OVA is from 93, and the movie is from 2000, the series Im Dling is from 2004. But none of them are related (also, id have to waste 3/4 netflix DVDs this week geting the Ova and the movie, I think I may just watch the new series). Theyre all loosley base off the Manga, but theyre not related. Anyways, so thats that. IM loaded down with anime, and no time!!!
IM 10 episodes into Ai Yori Aoshi, I get DVD 3 on Tuesday (I already have 4), so then Ill be 20 episodes in on Tusday night, on Wed, I get 1 DVD of the next series and the last DVD Ai Yori Aoshi (expect a review during a NaNo break sometime Thurs or Fri). Im not sure what DVDs im getting next from Netflix. Like I said above it might be Oh My Goddess 1-2 (thats 5 episodes) and Ah My Goddess the Movie, or it might be Koi Kaze or Sakura Diaries, or Kurogane Comm... one of those for sure. I would LIKE the next 3 DVDs to be Ai Yori Aoshi: Enishi, but the first DVD is "short wait" has been for a while. So its going to stay at the top of the list till I get it, but I dont know when I will get it.
I need to read a Murakami Haruki book before Wed, But I dont know which one. Not Norwegian Wood, that would put me in a depressed emotion world, so would South of the Border, West of the Sun. Maybe Kafka on the Shore or Sputnik Sweetheart, Dance Dance Dance is up there too. I would read Wind-Up Bird Chronicles but its too long, maybe so is Kafka on the Shore... Decisions Decisions. ill think on it tonight.
Umm, some job related news, but I dont feel like typing it. Its neither good nor bad. Nothing to see here, move along.
I sent back the DVDs tonight without watching them. hopefully Ill get them Saturday at the latest. I wont be getting disc one of Ai Yori Aoshi till Saturday anyways, so getting them on Friday does me absolutly no good. Im upset now that I went the entire week without DVDs because of their screw up. I wasted 1/4th of the month, which equates to 4.50.
Also. 6 days till NaNoWriMo and Ive really got to decide which story Im going to write. Any opinions would be helpful.
Would you rather read a story about a superhero and how all the horrible crap he sees and all the good he does changes him on the most basic and advanced levels of his psyche... OR would you rather read a fantasy story about the invasion of a fantasy world by an unknown force (contains combat and a love story). Any feedback would be greatly appreacited. I know I can write the fantasy story with my eyes closes (ok so maybe not) but the super-hero story is really going to be a challenge for me, its a genre Ive never touched before, only read. But I think it has more promise for a fullfilling story, but it might not turn out as good since its a much harder story to write!!! Lord help me!!
Im passed pissed and into utterly dismayed. Which is a good place because I DO NOT like to be that angry over something that unimportant. It was just that alot of emotional shit came crashing down at once (not in real time, just hit me) and I felt like I was drowning. Im better now. Just had to rant and take time to think about it.
Anyways, its now comical because. I get three movies at a time. They screwed up and sent me the first two movies of another series. Do you know what they sent me for my third movie (shipping on Wed.)? The first disc of the series they were supposed to send in the first place. Why oh god why did they have to send me the first two discs of ANOTHER series and then the first disc of the right series. It just doesnt make any sense why they wouldnt just send me all three discs of the RIGHT series.
When netflix replies to my email I dont know how I am going to respond. Im still a little upset, but mostly Im just confused now. I want to understand what kind of a b-rate programmer they had making their system and then I will hook them up with some real programmers so that I can get my freakin movies ontime.
It amazes me how screwed up there system is. Though I cant help but wonder if its really their fault. perhaps that are extenuating circumstances on the criteria of what movies to send out from the queue that is doing this to me. i dont know, but i want it to stop please oh god. I put series in order on my queue for a reason. And if you start sending me shit out of order, or worse, mix and match the dvds from multiple series (like theyve done here) then Im going to be upset.
If they dont offer me compensation (which they might do, and I hope they do). What im going to do, is send back the DVDs they sent me wrongly. And when they get them, ill re-add them to my queue, just so I can speed up the process of getting the right discs of Ai Yori Aoshi. Im hoping that means on Friday Ill have the other two discs of Ai Yori Aoshi. The problem I have no is that, if I watch the first disc right when I get it on Thursday, i still cant put it in the mail fast enough to get the 4th disc.
I think I need to up my number of discs that I get each week, three isnt enough, when your ordering series that are 5-10 dvds long.
Netflix is no longer my bitch. I am infact theyre bitch.
Theyre treating me like shit and If blockbuster had this kind of selection I would fucking switch over.
here is what happened.
My queue is listed in order of series. One series, then the next then the next.
Sometimes a DVD in a series is listed as "short or long wait" which is fine, BUT THEY FUCKING SKIPPED AN ENTIRE SERIES THAT WAS COMPLETELY AVAILIBLE. Thats rigtht. On Wed. I will not be recieving Ai Yori Aoshi. The series that I have been looking forward to for two weeks. Im so goddamned pissed at this. The worst part. This is not the first time they have done this. This is the second time. The first time being when they skipped Full Metal Panic and went strait to sending me the SECOND series: FUMOFFU. This wed. I will be recieving Kamichu! vol 1 and 2. Of course I wont be reciving Vol. 3 because THAT ONE IS ON A SHORT WAIT. WHY DID THEY DO THIS. THERES NO FUCKING LOGIC. THEY SKIPPED AN ENTIRE SERIES THAT AVAILIBLE TO SEND ME PART OF A SERIES THAT I HAVE NO HOPE OF WATCHING THE REST OF. THERE IS NO FUCING LOGIC IN THIS AND I AM EXTREMELY PISSED OFF.
Here is the email I sent them:
Why are you sending me the wrong DVDs AGAIN? This is the second time. The DVDs that are first on my queue are listed as AVAILIBLE. Yet you skipped down NINE dvds to send me a series that I cant even watch all of because the third disc has a short wait (and has had that short wait for 3 weeks). This is seriously starting to annoy me, this is the second time that this has happened. My queue is listed in order of series. The first series has every DVD listed as availible. And yet you proceeded to the third series (ninth Dvd) on the list. I want to know why. I do not want ANOTHER canned answer. Let me explain why this upsets me so much. I plan my dismal week around watching the anime I get from your website. Its the high-light of my day to come home to a red envelope with something good inside. Yet you persist on ruining that by sending me the wrong things. "Ai Yori Aoshi: Vols. 1, 2, and 3" should be the DVDs being sent in the mail today. They are listed as availible and I want to knwo why you sent someting else instead. A real answer please.
MAybe I was a little harsh. But goddamn it. They are ruining my week by persisting in pulling this goddamned shit. The worst part. Theres no customer service number. Its all email. And it takes them a full day to respond. By the time they respond. I will already have recieved the wrong DVDs, and I will have to send them back. Worst part, that means I wont get the DVDs I want, assuming they dont FUCK UP AGAIN, until Friday. Theyve wasted my week. Whats the use of having unlimited rentals if I waste that time sending shit back that they should have done right in the first place.
I want to hit something. I really really really want to hit something.
[EDIT] Ok, the rant is staying cause it pisses me off. However, the pity party I had down at the bottom of the entry is going away. I got better.
I anime'd myself out this weekend. 40 some odd hours of anime was appearnetly too much. who knew.
So Im off the anime till Wed. When Ai Yori Aoshi gets here. Then its back to the good old days.
So for anyone waiting for a review of Ocean Waves (aka I can hear the sea) youll have to wait. Im probably gonna check around and see if anyone else wants to watch it before I do a solo showing. Nick might. Well see. Ill probably watch it this weekend who knows.
That is all.
Oh before I go. Go watch Studio 60. You can torrent all 6 episodes at HD quality. Watch it. Its the shit, it really is. Last night was my favorite episode. When they were in the bathroom hiring that guy as a writer, I got goosebumps, and I loved how he acted when they stepped out of sight, he had that "oh holy shit, did that just happen" moment, one I hope to be having here in 1-2 weeks myself.
Today's review is "Serial Experiments Lain". Look. Im going to keep this nice and short. +6/-0.
I felt like I was watching Paranoia Agent, Ghost in the Shell, and Akira all at the exact same friggin time. There is no sex in this anime, there is no scantily clad women, there is no violence, and there are no robots. It simply is as it is, a genius psychological and philosophical ride that never stops (you know... until it ends). If this anime was going to loose points (its not, but if it were), it would be that things dont start making sense until the 6-7th episode. The trick is to treat almost everything as if it was a hullicination, and put it all together towards the end. If you try to get it to make sense before the 6th or 7th your going to drive yourself mad. Alot of people may quit watching this (I know Nick did) after the first disc. And well thats your perogative, but you will be missing out on one of the greatest animes ever created. If your incapable of non-linear thinking, just stop right here and go rent Dragon Ball Z and Naruto, youll be a much happier person for it.
Another thing (now known as anothering) I recommend watching this in English. Not just because Ruby Marlowe is the voice of Lain (and if you cant tell how much I love her voice, you havent been paying attention), this anime is confusing and complex to say the least. If you attempt to try and keep up WHILE reading all of the dialog, your going to be in a world of hurt. But I know some of you (cough Amy) would rather watch in Japanese anyways, just dont say I didnt warn you.
Which reminds me. This message is specifically for Amy. From the books that youve said you like, and the Anime's youve said you watched. You need to see this anime. Theres a torrent for it on www.isohunt.com with a fair number of seeds. Im begging you to go DL this if you havent seen it already.
In other Anime news. I spent 14 hours yesterday watching Naruto (I think im gonna read the manga so I can get started on Naruto 2 (after the 2.5 year time jump) since it wont be in the anime for a while). From 125 to 180. Im so exhausted I hurt, and I had a 10 hour Naruto dream last night. I think Im done with Naruto for a while... well for a little... ok, fine, probably not very long at all. Only like 27 more episodes till Im fully caught up anyways.
I got "Ocean Waves" ("I can hear the sea" is the correct translation of the title from Japanese) in the mail yesterday. Its the last Studio Ghibli film that I have yet to see. Its hard to come by because it was a TV only movie in Japan in 97. I havent watched much, i just watned to see if I could get it to work since the regional code was a bit off, but the quality is pretty good, the only thing I noticed so far is that the subtitles are lagged by a second or so. Not to bad, just a little annoying. Really not a big deal. So Ill try to have that reviewed in a few days. At the moment, the next on my list is Perfect Blue, because 13 episodes of Lain wasnt enough Ruby for me. Also to be watched is Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid. And on Wed. I should get via netflix Ai Yori Aoshi, which I tend to think about as something similiar to Love Hina, theres like 8 discs total around 36 episodes. Should be fun.
Also. Netflix is STILL my bitch. If I get this high paying job I want, Im uping my netflix to anywhere from 5-8 discs at a time, maybe. Well see. but to be honest, 3 discs at a time just isnt enough.
Well, thats all. I think I need a nap to get my mind in order after Lain. Seriously, go watch it. Now. Its IMPERATIVEL.
One last thing. Heres an Artist spot light. Akeboshi is a Japanese artist that debuted in 2003, he studied in London and you can certainly tell from his music. Its westernized but still very Japanese. Kind of like reading Haruki Murakami for me, Japanese but still relateable. Anyways. Some stuff you might have heard, Wind and Yellow Moon are the first and thirteenth ending songs for Naruto. Yellow Moon is my favorite of his songs. Also in some of his songs I swear to god I hear a Celtic backsong.
Ok, nice and short.... That is all. End Transmission... Ghrrktt.
Ill be finishing Lain this weekend, Naruto up to 150, Perfect Blue, and Full Metal Panic: Second Raid. So along with Full Metal Panic?: FUMOFFU expect a bunch of reviews. (Depending on what I do with the guys Tonight, probably will have Perfect Blue and FMP: TSR done tonight and reviewed this weekend, like anyone cares).
Ok sports fans, time for the oh so looked forward to (by no one in particular) Anime Review.
Todays review is for Full Metal Panic (the first of three series to be reviewed, I finished Fumoffu today, and TSR is set for this weekend).
Well. First off, this Anime differs from most on my list because its a mixture of love and combat. More over, its mech combat. Im not a huge fan of mech anime because its so common. But the story line of FMP! has other aspects that combine well with the mech scene, mostly love and comedy.
FMP! is going to be recieving +5/-1 from me. Now, like Samurai Deeper Kyo, I watched the first part of this series a long time ago with Josh. But I finished the series this time around. Now, normally I would tell you all the pluses and then give you the detractor, but Im going to reverse that.
I only really have one problem with this Anime, and thats the main villan, how many times do you have to see him die for him to ACTUALLY die, more importantly how many times do you have to destroy his mech before hes comes back IN IT. I mean seriously. Now for the five plusses. First is the voice acting, it was great, I never had any problem with any of it, it seemed more then ok, it was seamless. The storyline itself gets a + because it successfully mixes mech combat with comedic love. The characters recieve a + for Sosuke who has so many angles I love it, and Kaname who is a bit typical but still likeable, but mostly for Kurtz and Mao because I like them the best. And Tessa gets her own + because shes just so darn cute, and for being a 16 year old in command of a mercenary nuclear submarine. Cause wow. And the final + for successfully mixing two seaming unrelated genres.
I hightly recommend this anime if youve always liked the romantic comedies, but never been a fan of true mech anime. This mixes them both so well, that almost anyone can enjoy it.
Also. Netflix is my bitch.
Next up. Perfect Blue. Followed by Full Metal Panic? FUMOFFU.
Been a little busy with funerals and all lately, so no updates yet. In the next couple days though. Expect a crapload of Anime reviews. Mainly, Lain #1, Full Metal Panic, Full Metal Panic FUMOFFU, Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid, and Naruto (Im almost up to 110 episodes, I think thats enough for a review). Anyways, Im also going to go through my list of anime and review anything I havent reviewed yet, I know theres another one. Also, more importantly, sometime in the next week, I will be recieving in the mail "Ocean Waves" from Studio Ghibli. If youve never heard about this anime, see my review for "THe Cat Returns" it explains why you havent (well its actually because it was a strait to TV movie in Japan and hard to come by). Anyways, when I recieve it, and if it works as well as I hope it does, then youll have a review of it. So. Many reviews comming in the next week or two (as if anyone cares).
In RL news. Had my interview last friday for my dream job. Because its a state job, I have to go through a background check, which takes 3-4 weeks. So I wont be hearing anything on that for a while. Um. Whatelse. Nextflix pissed me off, but Im back to loving them!!! After today, when I send back the DVDs I rented, Ill be starting on a new series Ai Yori Aoshi (Michelle Ruff is the female lead, so I require watching this, Wendee Lee is also in this, so thats double good, now if only it had Ruby in it). Im hoping by the time im done watching Ai Yori Aoshi, Kamichu! #3 is back to availible, so I can get all three of those for the next series.
A week ago last saturday, I had a horrible night. I got trapped by people I did not want to be trapped by. Just goes to show you, the things you fear happening and act out of that fear, yeah they can and do happen, so dont unjustify your fears just because theyre an inconvenience to others. Fears are what they are, theyre a natural defence mechanism. If there wasnt reason to be afraid you wouldnt be afraid. The key is prioritizing the thing you fear and the consequences of acting on that fear.
Cant really think of anything else. The world is as the world is. End transmission... Ghrrkt.
[EDIT]
I forgot, expect a review of Perfect Blue soon. I wasnt going to DL it, but Ruby (Marlowe) is the voice for the female lead. So I have to watch it cause I love her.
