Exclusive Insanity

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.

So Jer and I went to see Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy last night. It was amusing. Not the best thing I've seen, but not bad. I haven't read the books, so that probably makes a difference. I do know why towels are so important. That wasn't explained in the movie, which kind of sucks. The romance bored me. Actualy, the female character in general was annoying. She had no purpose, other than being rescued and falling for the main character.

But if you ignore that, the movie wasn't bad. It definitely had its moments.

There was a preview for Star Wars episode three. That was pretty cool.

Still fixing up Game Over. I promised it'd be up soon more than a week ago, didn't I? This should teach me not to make promises...

So, yesterday Angeltowns decided that they needed to shut down all free accounts. This includes my UPS screenshot site, which I was a little annoyed about.

I've never been so glad that I decided to get the paid space for my homepage. It's still there, because obviously they're not randomly deleting paid accounts.

I'd used about 10MB of space for my homepage and am allowed 100MB. My images site was almost 50MB. I have the UPS site backed up on my harddrive, so all I needed to do was spend a good hour this morning uploading everything to my homepage space.

The images site is now here, for the curious: http://www.angeltowns2.net/aphrael/UPS

This also means everything on it can be direct linked, which is kind of cool. So I guess it's not too bad that this happened.

Still annoyed with the wasted time, though. Bah.

Here's a pairings meme I grabbed from pichi

I work this morning - fun times. I also had an anime club meeting yesterday, which was fun. I bought four new volumes of manga, ordered another one, and then also ordered the second FMA DVD.

I spend way too much money on anime. Ah well.

The manga I bought were volumes five and six of Tokyo Babylon, volume one of Descendants of Darkness, and volume five of Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle. Since I don't yet have volume four of Tokyo Babylon, that was the one I ordered. I've read them all by now, because I always have to read new manga as soon as I get them. Besides, I was anxious to see what happened in Tsubasa. And the next volume looks very interesting, from the little preview at the end.

Tsubasa Chronicle episode three is downloading now... Also, I have downloaded Howl's Moving Castle, but have yet to watch it. I might do that tonight while putting off the studying I really should start on today.

We'll see.
