Exclusive Insanity

Downloading the subtitled episode 50 of Fullmetal Alchemist right now. I'm not so sure I want to watch it right away... I know it'll just drive me crazy all over again, and I've finally managed to achieve some sense of 'whatever happens, happens'.

Then again, the sooner I watch it, the sooner I'll be over it... I intend to avoid lists and such completely to avoid ANY spoilers before I watch episode 51. Even 'OMG, I'm so sad', or 'Wow... that was great!' or anything like that. I don't want to know if it sucked or was amazing or was sad AT ALL until I watch it myself.

Yeah. So, anyway...

I've just about finished my program, which isn't due until Thursday - I'm so proud. I ran into a slight problem, so it's a good thing I started it now. Heh.

I'm halfway through Northanger Abbey, which is probably good enough for now.

I also did some work on Game Over, and a little bit on the HikaGo ghost story. Coming right along - both of them, actually. I'm hoping to finish that ghost story so I can concentrate more on Game Over.

We'll see, I guess.

And today's going to be a long day... School, school, and work. Bleh.

We have an assignment in Networking, as of yesterday. It's due next week. Just a short program written in C and executed on the CS machine at the school via Secure Shell.

We're learning C! Something *useful*.

Thank god.

Anyway, other than that, I got a phone call from V... It reminded me of how much I miss her. How many days until next Saturday? It's going to be an awesome day - I can't wait!

And then Christmas... Christmas will be fun.

Also, I finally watched episode 49 of FMA.

( Spoilers. And confusion )

All homework is done. There is still a little bit of reading left, but I can do that during my break between classes today.

My journal writing is going to be me pretending to be an 18th or 19th century upper/middle class woman with my current age and marital status. Which would probably put me well on my way to being a spinster, considering I'm 22 and NOT married.

Heh.

Believe it or not, I actually did some work on the Hikaru no Go ghost story yesterday. It bothers me that I haven't finished that one, because I really like it. The beginning might need work, but overall, I think it's a good story and I like how it's gone so far. I'm so close to finishing it... I thought maybe I'd make an attempt.

It'd be great if I could. I'd like to share it.

Stupid work last night... Tired now. Bleh. And I have school and work today.

At least I have tomorrow off, though.

Actually, my work schedule is drastically reduced. Because I asked for "five or less" shifts, and Suzette asked for more. So I have three shifts over the next two weeks.

I'm not going to complain, except about the lack of money.

I can live with that, though. For now.

I found the second volume of Tsubasa at Chapters. Yay! I have read it and enjoyed it. I really think Del Rey is doing a good job with the translation and everything.

I still have to watch episode 48 of Fullmetal Alchemist. That probably won't happen until tomorrow, but that's okay. Means I won't have to wait as long for the subtitled version of 49.

I've also got Digimon Frontier episode 47 and Kyou Kara Maou episodes 16-17 that I can watch. I don't know when I'll find time for those... Yeeks.

Urgh... did a bunch of stuff yesterday, including some of my homework and reading. Also including writing in Game Over, thank god. I'd say the chapter's about half finished. Finally.

Also, Sarah was over last night and we watched some anime. I remembered to tape Gundam Seed at nine-thirty - so we ended up watching that, too. Neither of us could keep most names and places straight, and we have no idea what's going on.

Oh well... If I care enough, I'll figure it out.

I also watched episode 46 of Fullmetal Alchemist this morning after I woke up.

( And, well... )

So I got episodes 46, 47, and 48 onto a VCD... I'll probably watch episode 46 either today or tomorrow. Excellent.

I also have lots of reading to do... gotta make sure I get that done, too. And a journal entry that has to identify five of Woolf's claims and expand on them. I'll do that today as well.

I've gotten a nice little chunk of more work on Game Over... a couple of pages worth, anyway - and it feels like I might just be back on track. Now... it's too bad I'm getting so busy. Heh.

Belly dancing also starts tonight - that'll be fun. I'm looking forward to it.

I just wish I could skip the homework and my lab today. Bleh.

For class tomorrow, I have to read Virginia Woolf's "A Room of One's Own". I've got about twenty pages of it left. It's not that it's boring - it's actually interesting, when you get into it - but it's hard to get into, and once you're distracted, you pretty much have to start all over again.

But twenty pages... I should be able to manage that.

I also started my journal for that course. I'm going to update it Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I figured now was the time to start. I also decorated the cover with pictures of anime women. I have Izumi, Winry, and Hawkeye on there from Fullmetal Alchemist, and - basically only because I had a picture of her reading a book - Cleao from Sorcerous Stabber Orphen.

It looks kind of cool.

Today I have no class, but I do have to work tonight. Stupid work... I'm sure it'll suck. It always does.

Oh well.

So I watched episode four of Digimon yesterday, which - wonder of wonders - actually makes sense when you see it subtitled. Beats the hell out of me why they changed so many things in the dub... All it did was make it confusing.

After watching that episode, though, it reinforces my belief that Piyomon is the most annoying digimon on the show. In any season. There were several times when I watched to throttle her. Ugh.

Ah well...

I didn't accomplish much yesterday, besides some of my reading and work. Which sucked. The book for my Women's Literature course is very boring, even though some of the things it talks about are kind of neat. The way it's written, though... I want to fall asleep while reading.

At least the philosophy text is readable.

And now I'm off to work this morning. Evil work...

Yesterday was a lovely day of doing absolutely nothing. I was going to get a head start on my readings, but that didn't happen. I'm not really surprised. I'll probably end up doing them all at the last possible minute, as usual.

Ah well.

I did manage to get some writing done, although not much. Stupid blocks... I feel like I'm getting back on track, thank goodness. The fact that Jer read the edited chapter three and didn't find anything unusual about it - and I know he'd tell me if he did; he has before - made me feel much better.

I think I'll leave it. If and when I finish the entire story, I might come back and play with it some more, but for now, it'll be all right. I've spent enough time worrying and agonizing; it is time to let go.

In any case, I need to give some attention to chapter four.

Today is the welcome back barbeque. I have my book with me so that I can get a couple of burgers and a drink and then go sit on the grass and read. It'll be nice enough, although not the same without V, of course.

And then class at noon.

And then Gundam Seed on TV tonight at 9:30. I'm looking forward to that. Also, the TV guide says Witch Hunter Robin is playing at 10:30. I may attempt to watch that, too.

So much anime! Excellent...
