Still Alive! (maybe)
I'm alive, sort of, and will commence doing mini-translations of magazine articles once I get an okay from the scanner.
In the meantime...
Some really sad statistics:
A research paper of ~2600 words took me:
Reading sources - 7 hrs
Writing crap draft - 5 hrs
Figuring out thesis - 2 hrs
Rewriting crap to fit thesis - 8 hrs
PROCRASTINATION - 3 DAYS
And what did I achieve during those 3 days?
Watched and finished GARO (牙狼). Which, incidentally, *really* floats my boat. I ended up downloading the movie and the gaiden, and now I'm in love with the theme song. It's got the cheesiest premise ever, but the special effects are gorgeous and the monsters are creepy and awesome and can I just say inventive?
I got hooked on the basis of just these two things but along the way I fell for the hero and his heroine as well and the way the series just left them all vague and undeclared at the end just makes me want to scream "GET TOGETHER ALREADY, OK?"
Now I'm trying to watch Kamen Rider while procrastinating for Paper #2 and it's just...not working for me. Maybe it's because the monsters look stupid rather than scary. I'm about 4 eps into Kabuto and it still just seems kind of kiddish and silly. I want the soul-sucking, human-torturing, batshit-crazy demons from Garo back! *pout*
Any recommendations for a good series to watch when you're trying to think of anything *but* the work you're supposed to be doing? I'm open to the good, the bad, and the truly awful as long as it sucks my brain away. =D
