Work? Huh?
It seems I have lost the will to do any work. Or was just distracted by anime. Either way, this entire weekend has been pretty eh when it came to working on my demo reel, I feel really bad about it. So this is what happened this weekend starting Thursday.
I went to class, did a designer test (which I think I did decently) and one of our career advisors looked at what we had and past judgement on whether we'll make the deadline or not. If you make the deadline, you pass, you don't, you fail. So, after looking at my stuff, she seemed perplexed as to what to do with me. I was lingering on the edge and she just couldn't decide, so she left it up to my teacher who was at E3. So, come this Thursday, I'll get the thumbs up or down. So, with this situation in mind, you'd think I'd haul ass and get shit done, but nope. I went to see Vicky and her friends and Lisa stopped by. Vicky gave my Shaman King series and Lisa helped me by Anne Bishop's Dreams Made Flesh (Lisa works at Chapters). So, I get home and log on WoW. We raid Blackwing Lair and clear up to Nefarian but the atmosphere just didn't allow for his killing. So we stop at like 10pm. I log off and double click the Maya icon with some vigor leftover from the morning's close call. By the time 3am comes around, my will is gone and I start watching Shaman King. Six episodes in, I'm too tired to continue and fall asleep.
Friday comes around and I continue watching Shaman King right up until 4:30pm, which is when I log on WoW and do some more raiding. Today, we down Nefarian and Onyxia and call it a day. So by 8pm I'm off WoW and back on my Shaman King kick. This goes on until about 5am. I'm at like episode 30 something. I crash for the day. Yep, that was my Friday night.
Come Saturday we had no raids so what did I do? Wake up and watch more Shaman King. By about 11pm, I'm done the series. I start watching other stuff I DLed during this anime frenzy. Utawarerumono episode 6, Major episode 43, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya 1, Ouran Host Club episode 6, Yakitate Japan! 61, Capeta 16 and episode 1 of Honey and Clover. I also watch Gilmore Girls, Veronica Mars and Bones. Now its about 4am and I fall asleep.
Sunday starts off with me feeling an amount of guilt so I open up Maya and start building stuff here and there. Fixing my sword and touching up some stuff (still no UV or Textures shhh.) and as the day progressed, that guilt started to fade and I found myself hovering the mouse over the Honey and Clover folder. 8 hours later, the series is done and I think its become one of my most favorite series ever. I need to get season 2. After that, I try to work on my modelling some more. I start DLing more Melancholy and I get curious about Soul Link. 5 episodes of Melancholy and 4 of Soul Link later, I love Melancholy. I really don't feel like watching more Soul Link. Honey and Clover has a really nice soundtrack...I think I might have to get it.
So, this weekend has been more anime than work and WoW combined. Oh well, I'm screwed! :) And what did I think about Shaman King? Eh, it had its moments of clarity and than it had its blah ending. But no one will take away my love for Anna. Can you imagine 20 year old Yoh and Anna in a Honey and Clover feel Shaman King? That would be some awesome anime. Oh and man, Morita is my fucking hero. Honey and Clover for the freaking WIN! Maybe I should rewatch the series today?
