Exclusive Insanity

I watched the last episode of the Hunter X Hunter TV Series earlier today. As usual, I have some thoughts, and since I was at work and had a little time, I decided to organize them. So, here are my thoughts on the series.

( Hunter X Hunter: My Comments )

On a completely unrelated note, does anyone know of any good songs that express a love/hate kind of thing?

Work sucked last night, but it looks like I'll be able to be on the radio next week... or at least sit in on the session. It'll be fun.

Since I was kind of bored at work, I wrote out more of those little random snippets for Hunter X Hunter. Anyone who has a couple of minutes to waste can check them out here. Some spoilers for up to episode 36, just in case anyone on my friends list is in the process of watching the anime and hasn't said anything about it.

I just watched episode 40. Haha, Wing is training monster-boys. I love Wing. I loved him in the manga too, but I love him more in the anime. And we got glimpses of Kurapika and Leorio! Just glimpses, but still! I liked the shots of Leorio being all studious. He's awesome. And poor Kurapika needs to train more or he'll never get a job.

Anyway, that made me happy. Not that it's not ridiculously easy to make me happy, but still.

I work again tonight, and then I have tomorrow off. Yay!

Just watched episode 25 this morning... I know it seems like I'm going slow, but I need to take time out every so often to chatter at people and check email and... you know... eat? Sleep?

I might just be failing in my duties as a rabid anime fan. But hell, this way I'll have anime to watch for a long time. So it is all good.

I work today from ten to four at the Sa Hali store. It's not a bad shift, and I get a half hour break for lunch, so it is all good. Besides, the work isn't hard and I'll have company. Overall, I think the Sa Hali store might be better to work at than my usual place of employment.

I still haven't worked a 4-9 shift there yet, so I'll have to wait until after Friday before passing judgement.

I'm going to be done with the Hunter exams in a few episodes... I'll be so sad when that's over. Impending separation of the four main characters. I know there's still the rescuing Killua thing to go before they split up, but still. We won't see Kurapika for like ten episodes after. And even longer for Leorio...

At least there will still be Gon and Killua. Cuteness will sustain me.

I actually didn't spend as much time with the DVDs yesterday as I suppose I could've... I had plans already anyway, and then ended up chatting for a while. I know the next episode I'll be watching is one that didn't happen in the manga, so I'm looking forward to it.

Fun stuff. I'm such a geek, and I love it.

I got to hang out with Sarah yesterday, which I haven't done in a while. That was fun, and I got to see her new house. Which is NICE. Very nice. I hope I can live in a place that nice when I move out. The area seems to be pretty decent, too.

Not much going on in my life, which is a good thing at the moment, because it gives me more time for DVD viewing. Nothing is better than having a ton of episodes on DVD and a lot of time to watch them whenever you wish.

Also, I have to note that this song is way too cute.

Don't you guys hate me? I have a new meme every couple of days. This one came from catia

I wasn't tagged for this one - I just wanted to do it. Heh.

( Fandoms )

Work this morning... I'm at the Sa Hali store, so I can walk. Which is good, because it'll wake me up. I didn't sleep too well last night for whatever reason.

Note to self: if I don't want to end up buying an anime, I should never read the manga for it. Never. This always seems to trigger the 'buy' nerve located somewhere in the section of my brain that is entirely devoted to anime.

Yeah, so I decided to buy Hunter X Hunter on burned DVDs, which cost a grand total of $45 for 62 episodes and three OVAs of eight, eight, and fourteen episodes respectively. It looks like something I might be able to watch with Jeremy, though, so it'll be nice to have. Also, I like having DVDs full of episodes that I can just sit down and binge-watch whenever I get the opportunity.

Yeah, yeah, I'll admit, in a way I was hoping I'd like it enough to want to buy it. The first episode was kind of meh. The main character didn't interest me much, but when we started meeting other characters, it started getting interesting. I've watched five episodes, and read through two volumes of manga. It looks like it'll be entertaining.

Not at obsession level yet. No clues on whether or not I'll get there. We'll find out later, I'd imagine.

Made three new icons yesterday... Hehe. It was fun. I think I might be addicted to icons or something. I always have to make more.

Ah well.

I also *did* work on Game Over yesterday, just like I was determined to do. I will work on it again today, too. Because I have said so. Granted, I only got about two pages done yesterday... but still! It's something.

I want to work on Piece of a Legend soon too. That one isn't getting posted until I have it all done, but it's only three chapters from being finished, while Game Over is going to be longer. I don't know how much longer just yet. I need to get a more precise idea of how I'm going to organize the final events. I'll do that when I finish chapter seven, because chapter seven has all the *fun* stuff.

But before that, I must finish chapter six. So there's a ways to go yet.

Firstly, I updated Game Over (finally), and so part five is available on Fiction Press here and on my site here. Hope you guys like it, after waiting so long for it!

And, selurnis tagged me, so here's a meme.

I did go and see Star Wars last night - I figured it was better than hanging around home and trying to keep busy and randomly feeling sad. Prince was a good dog. We had a lot of good times with him. He was very old, and obviously wasn't very comfortable - he's in a better place now.

My sister and her boyfriend are visiting, too... It helped that since she hasn't been home in a while, she was able to handle the news better than the rest of us.

Anyway, Star Wars wasn't great. It had its moments, and of course the effects were awesome, but yeah. The writing was bad, the acting was meh, and the pace was horribly rushed. THIS movie could've been three movies.

( My impressions )

I may be exaggerating, but not by very much.

I think my AMV is finished. I need to watch it again and stuff... Might be a while, I don't know. I'll post here when it's ready to be shared.

And, to everyone who replied to my last post with sympathy, thank you. I really appreciate it.
