Yo!
Well I've got some down time between class and meeting my friend James so I figured what better way to spend it than dusting off the old LJ and splattering down some random thoughts on it.
First I guess I should talk about Ohayocon. Honestly there isn't a whole lot to talk about. It was the same old con it has been every year. I did enjoy it more than I thought I would, but that was only because my standards before getting there were pretty much in the basement. There weren't any real memorable stories or shenanigans to be had aside from talking to the one girl at the artist alley booth with all the jrock stuff and watching her freak when she saw Alex in her Daisuke outfit. Maybe I'm just exercising more self control at cons these days. I haven't kicked anyone in the nuts or spent all night Saturday hugging porcelain in quite a while. I guess we all have to grow up and get boring a some point,huh?
...I'm sure I'll take back that whole "maturity" state after the next Jrock concert I go to >.>
Speaking of rocks of the J variety, I just so happened to stumble on a few indy bands that have once again lit a fire under my ass and finally given me something new to love and put on repeat for the next 3 months. D'lore and Di3sirae are both proving to be fun aggressive little bands. The real diamond in the rough though is Eat You Alive. Call me a tool for liking rap metal, but I don't care. This band gets the mix just right by throwing in a little screamo and hardcore flair making them more then just a Limp Bizkit wannabe guilty pleasure. Its the first legitimate ray of originality I've found worth listening to in the VK scene in I don't know how long. If your in the mood for listening to something new then I'd say check out their myspace and give them a shot. http://www.myspace.com/eatyoualive0307

It seems like forever since I've seen a good new movie. I really hope Wolfman will change all that. Then there's Shutter Island the week after that! Finally the movie season is picking up! I've been keeping myself distracted by watching all the special editions of the Alien films. I haven't seen them in so long that I forgot what most of them were even about. I have to say the first one is still by far my favorite. The third film had so much potential in the first half but it seemed like the plot started stumbling over itself halfway through. Aliens is a pretty solid action flick but definitely needs less Bill Paxton. And of course Resurrection never actually happened xP
Its looking like March is going to be an incredibly expensive month for me. Between a bunch of blu rays and amazing games coming out it might just break the bank. Gundam Unicorn, Red Cliff and the first Eva movie all come out that month and of course Final Fantasy XIII, and Yakuza 3 will be released too. I can't wait to piss off my roommate by hogging the TV 24/7 by playing Jrpgs. Fuck yes. And Resonance of Fate comes out pretty soon too. Fuck, there goes from being nothing but cookie cutter action games being released for months to this maelstrom of epic rpgs in such a short amount of time.
