My continued existence

Sep 08, 2009 22:05

Holy crap it's been a while since I was on LJ. I'm so distractable, I see something that sounds fun and devote all my time to that and forget about whatever I was doing. For example, I was watching Code Geass and writing up a liveblog of it on the TV Tropes forum, but then I used my graduation money to get myself a PS3 and got into BlazBlue and finally playing Shin Megami Tensei games (Persona 3 is so addictive it should be illegal).

On top of that I have a job now, which is new for me. I'm working at my dad's company doing organizational stuff, but it's something. Which takes a lot of time. I want to get work at the public library but our branch won't be opening until November. And then in October I'm starting Japanese classes. I'm so glad I decided not to go to college this year.

If anyone's looking for a good science fiction novel, I highly recommend that you check out Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan series. The plots have had me literally falling out of my chair laughing in amazement at the fantastic schemes the characters can pull off. Like forming a mercenary band mostly by accident, for a start. Plus there's plenty of interesting stuff with genetics, gender roles, and space government.

Also, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is a pretty fun show, but I think most of you know that. Tales of the Abyss has a shocking good anime adaption as it turns out. It actually makes more sense than the game at times.

You know, I really shouldn't have taken the one fact = one fic approach to 20_wars, considering my usual fic-writing pace of one a year. The result is that I've been working on this thing for about a year and still haven't finished.

books, anime, games, my life
