EXAMS!
Having recovered from Christmas I went straight into a horrendous cough/cold. My main mistake was waking up on Saturday the 29th of December and going to work without saying a work to myself or anyone. It was only when I went to say Hello to my general manager and managing to croak out something like "he'o" that I realized I sounded like I had been sucking on sandpaper. Of course instead of sending me home he sat me on the tills for my entire shift bar the one hour I had for lunch.
According to one of my fellow staff members I looked like I was about to pass out.
I made it through the day but sensibly called in sick Sunday. In fact after waking up long enough to call them at 10:15 I fell asleep till about 14:30. Tuesday came and it was the New Year Day shift but that wasn't too bad comparatively, I felt somewhat better by then.
New Years Eve was nice, I was still to ill to go out and party so I ordered a pizza and brought a bottle of bucks fizz, a cheesecake and a bar of chocolate and watched toku all night. It was good.
Speaking of Kamen Rider 40-43. Most interesting, building up the plot nicely, plenty of action, plenty of Yuuto and Deneb crapping candy. Raws of 44-46, interesting, I can pick out the odd word and form a fuzzy idea of whats going on but the end of 46 with Airi and seeing Sakurai-san well, I won't spoil it. Poor Yuuto and Ryoutarou.
Geki, Geki, Geki what can I say it's obvious Long has got something important up his voluminous sleeves and Jan seeing whats left of his father. Hard on the guy. Still I find myself not really sympathizing with him but then again I'm one for the quiet type. Hmmm. Maybe when 41 is subbed.
41, 42 and 43 raws. Retsu pimping SaiBlade, Jan finding himself and the slightly disturbing imagery of Ken in drag. Good fun.
Not Toku but I did manage to find a download of the unaired KR: Dragon Knight pilot.
It's a good idea but from the looks of it they just cut bits of Ryuki spliced in american actors and mucked about with the premise. Sounds familiar...
Anyways the one thing that made me cringe throughout the entire thing was something simple.
Instead of saying Car-men Rider they kept saying Commen Rider. If you're going to Americanize a popular Japanese series at least have the decency to make the actors watch it so we don't have any more comen rider.
Still its a test-pilot so the series might be better
I spend my days off work trying to concentrate on studying for my exams next week (PANIC!) and so far failing miserably and sleeping in till 14:00, so the cold has really taken it out of me.
I've pretty much recovered now, still not feeling 100% but almost back to my normal self
Work today was exactly what I don't need. I tell ya, all it takes is one accidentally mis pressed button for people to fly off the handle, geez you'd think I'd just insulted their grandma or something, even after I apologized and corrected my mistake they were still muttering 'ohh they shouldn't do that, I'm going to write to head office' seriously do they not have anything better to do. I kept my mouth shut after saying sorry, I don't have the energy to worry or care to be honest.
I can't understand why people are so highly strung these days. Don't people understand if they're polite, calm and understanding that people around them will be as well and life for everyone would be so much easier.
After we closed I went to the Chinese for tea. It was good.
Catch you all later.
