So I suffered something of a minor fiction burnout yesterday... heh. I spent four hours or so reading College Roomies from Hell, which is not as good as it used to be. I liked it when it was all crack, but now it's serious crack and not as good. And it has not one, but TWO love trianges. You guys all know how I feel about love triangles.

Meh. Oh well.

So after that, I decided that before I went to bed, I would watch an episode of Gundam Seed. Just one episode.

One episode that turned into four.

Now, Gundam Seed has a very good plot and appealing characters, and I love the series. But it's also terribly, TERRIBLY sad. More so than Gundam Wing, and that series had its depressing moments too. Any series that's about war is going to be sad, anyway.

It took me at least two hours to get to sleep last night.

I woke up this morning and watched two more episodes. Then found out my sister was on the computer doing homework, so watched another one. Yesterday at this time, I'd watched up to episode 30. I just finished 37 now.

I still have yet to see those three stoners guys who are in the third opening sequence. I have a good idea of who they are, but haven't seen them yet. I think they're in the next episode.

Also noticed that the second little mid-point thing has Kira and Laccus now instead of Athrun and Laccus. Cute!

Also, are we supposed to care about what's happening to Fllay? I wish they'd just kill her off already and get it over with. Why the hell she's lasted this long is beyond me... I can't decide who I hate more, her or La Cruz (or whatever his name is). Someone should just collapse a building on them.

I think I might polish this series off pretty quickly now. It's gotten to the point where I just want to keep watching.

On the other hand, I watched an episode of Gundam Wing before I went to bed, and reflected on how much more that series appeals to me. Don't get me wrong, I love both series, but Wing is just... more appealing to me than Seed. I couldn't say why.

I watched episode 29 of Gundam Seed yesterday. And cried. It was very, very sad.

I'm sure the next episode will be even more sad. Since now it's happened, and other characters will react... Wah...

His last line killed me. Seriously.

But, I recovered. Went online and was saved by webcomics and a chat with Karasu over a Mary-Sue quiz and characters who didn't qualify as Mary-Sues wanting to be the ones wearing the pink shirt with "I am Mary-Sue" on it so they could harass other characters. (don't ask)

Other than that, yesterday was pretty okay. Had lab in the morning, where we did some neat stuff. Then I had to write a report about it, but I got that out of the way fairly quickly. It's all good now!

I still have a pre-lab report for next week, but I can do that later.

I'm... not really sure what to say now. I watched some Gundam Wing last night. That, too, made me feel better. I love GW. It's so wonderful.

Well, the weekend is over, and I'm not really all that sad to see it go. Hey, I worked all weekend - and work sucks.

I did ask for my vacation pay, though - it's been building up for quite some time. I intend to put it in a separate bank account and save it for when I'm done school and can actually use it for a vacation.

I figure it's better to have it collect a bit of interest rather than just sit there.

I watched episode 28 of Gundam Seed yesterday. It was very interesting. I liked the bit at the end with Kira and Athrun. And we say farewell to the first ending theme... Just before they play the new one (ugh).

I don't want to watch 29... I'll continue to whine about it. And if you think THIS is whining, wait until you see me after I *have* watched it.

I have my long day today for school... It's not that bad, though. I don't start until noon anyway. I finish at ten tonight. I also won't be staying up late, since I have an earlier class tomorrow.

Ah well...

Um. I just wrote an entire entry and then deleted it. Gaaaaah.

I'm going to make this short, because now I'm irritated. I got stuff done yesterday. Fanfic, and new project. Both seem to be moving right along. Game Over is being neglected, but I'll get back to it at some point.

Blind Target came in for me at Chapters, and I read it. Very nice artwork. Scary het aside, it's a very pretty manga. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

I'm waiting for three things from Amazon now - but they will be a while, I think. Shipping estimate is Jan 25 - Feb 7. So yeah, I'll be waiting for a bit, but for two manga and a new book to read, I can be patient. It'll be worth it in the end.

I work tomorrow. Not looking forward to it, but it's good that I seem to be scheduled mostly for weekends now, because weekdays are somewhat inconvenient due to my class scheduling.

We'll see about that, I guess.

Our lab for this particular class was not cancelled - so I have lab from 10-11 this morning. I'm not used to getting up at 8:30 any more. I'll have to get used to it, though, since I work at nine this Sunday, and have lab at nine on Tuesdays. Plus today's class.

But still. Seems too early now.

Ah well...

I've officially finished watching Gundam Wing with Jeremy. Next week, we are starting Gundam Seed and a show of his he wants me to watch. It's good if we go slower with Gundam Seed, though, because I haven't seen all of it yet and I want to watch it by myself first.

Even episode 29... bleh...

Got some more work done on the new project, though. Excellent. It looks like that may be a go. I need to do more when I get home from school today, though.

And then I can finally put things into motion somewhat.

It'll be fun.

Well, yesterday kind got off to a really bad start. I had class at eleven - except I didn't have class at eleven, because that class had been moved to five o'clock. Very inconvenient time for me.

Thus, I had to find another class - not actually that hard, since I'd been considering a different class already anyway, and it was at a convenient time. The only reason I hadn't picked it up for this term was because I was taking the main prerequisite to it last semester and wanted to be sure I'd passed before I registered for it.

Also, there's a lesser prerequisite that I'm only just taking this semester, but the instructor was really nice, and since I'd got an A in the main prerequisite, he let me take it.

So I have class at noon now instead of eleven. All is good. I spent the hours from eleven until four at the school, most of which were occupied worrying and fretting and freaking out and trying to get my schedule straightened out. I didn't get to eat lunch until moments before my three o'clock class, when I had an overpriced sandwich from the cafeteria.

But enough of sob stories. It's over now, and things are worked out.

Creative writing looks like it's going to be fun. Even though it's poetry, I'm very glad I decided to take that one this semester. The instructor seems nice, and the course looks intersting. 50% of our grade is for ten poems we'll be writing, and 50% is for the play we'll be writing. It'll be a one-act play, only about ten - fifteen pages.

I'll have fun with it.

I'm very glad lab was cancelled for this morning, though... it means I have a day off to relax for a while before getting back into things again tomorrow.

Maybe I'll try and write that poem for next week's class.

Well, it is the first day of school. Fun times. I have class at eleven, three, and seven today. Three hours between each one. Oddly enough, I don't mind this prospect. Leave me enough time to go home in between.

Besides, having a three-hour class tonight means I have less class during the rest of the week. I only have *one* class on Fridays now.

Excellent.

Yesterday, I ordered a bunch of stuff. A novel by Lorena Manuel - I didn't know she had a novel. I should've bought this a long, long time ago. Also Gundam Wing: Blind Target, which I bought with Johanna's gift card and which I am looking forward to despite the promise of scary het. It has nice artwork. The other things I ordered were Eerie Queerie volume four (I know, I know, one day I'll get the rest of it as well) and Digimon Tamers volume four (I'm long overdue in buying that one).

So, yeah. I'll probably have Blind Target before I get the rest, but it's all good. I qualified for free shipping from Amazon.ca. Heh.

Other than that, not much is going on. I'm a little nervous about school. Eek...

It's snowing AGAIN.

ARGH!

I hate snow. Seriously. This is depressing - especially this close to when I'll be returning to school. I'm going to have to walk through this shit. And I'll have to drive through it to work on Sunday, too.

Bah.

Hate it. Hate snow. Evilness.

In other news, my computer is being extremely slow. Microsoft Word takes forever to open or save things. The 'open' or 'save' box will come up quick enough, but you won't have any folder options for five to ten minutes. If at all.

Very, very annoying. I want to kick my computer - but then of course I'd have nothing, and that would be worse. Margh.

Other than that, I haven't got much going on. I've done little to no writing, and when I do, I keep contemplating new things rather than working on my old ones.

I'm way too fickle, I think.
