Update!!
(Geh, I really need to get myself in gear to update regularly, and not just when people poke me to. >__< Hahahaha, anyways big shoutout tocherylandrea, at whose prompting this post is written in reponse to :PP)
Well, 5 weeks-ish of holidays have passed, and I have spent that time doing practically NOTHING. Except like, watching anime. And meeting up with my friends. And Driving. And getting Uni results. And uh, writing a little. And reading lots of PG Wodehouse. And recently, doing Sudoku. And oh of course! Going back to lovely FAIRFIELD to teach tuition for a week. :DD
Since I'm not going to give a blow by blow of those activities, I'll just make it a review! (And I'll split the anime up, hee hee, just cause I'm biased)
ITEM: Gundam Seed
RATING: 5/5
COMMENTS: Thoughtful introspection on: the mechanics of hate and love; war and diplomacy;the worthiness of causes; and the necessity of letting go. Also, spaceships, epic battles, giant explosions and Muu La Fraga. What's not to like? XD
ITEM: Nodame Cantabille
RATING: 3.5/5
COMMENTS: Funny, sassy and spirited, served with a topping of music. A light anime, reminisent of crepe. Yummy.
ITEM: Soul Eater
RATING: 5/5
COMMENTS: It doesn't take itself seriously, yet still packs powerful plots; has a rocking good opening, and Miyano Mamoru as a boy obssessed with symmetry. Seriously good, in the most unserious of manners.
ITEM: Full Metal Panic! and Fumoffu
RATING: 3.5/5 , 4/5
COMMENTS: Gundam rather spoiled me for this series, but the main series's still good for explosions and plot. Fumoffu is full of rubbish, and is therefore FUN. Recc'd as a time killer.
ITEM: Shana
RATING: 4.5/5
COMMENTS: Nice action sequences, and a really fantastically cool concept. The writers could have done more with it rather than turn into shoujou rabu-rabu; but as it is, the series is already great.
ITEM: Welcome to the NHK
RATING: 2.5/5
COMMENTS: I thought it was comedy. It wasn't. What I liked about the series: its' realism. What I didn't: The same. Hey, I read and watch these fictional worlds for a l'il bit of unreality. It was kinda depressing to watch this.
ITEM: Evangelion
RATING: 2.5/5
COMMENTS: Okay, really cool setup, epic series, but I cannot for the life of me stand the main character. Whiniest little brat on the FACE OF THE EARTH, and most self-pitying too. If he had grown, and changed as the series went along, I might have liked him. But NOOOOOOO, still a whiny annoying brat at the end of the series. GEH. Suffice to say, if he were more likable, I'd have likes the seris more.
ITEM: Outings
WITH: Nut Family; CWC; SC4
FUN FACTOR: 4.5/5
COMMENTS: When a bunch of crazy people get together, it's always fun. Especially when they're people you haven't seen for a really long time. I miss JC. Also, the shopping with Jovi one deserves a special mention. Spending money never felt so fun. XD
ITEM: Driving
RESULTS : Passed 29th of May
FUN FACTOR: -100/5
COMMENTS: HAHAHAHAHAHA I AM SO GLAD I PASSED SO I DON'T HAVE TO DO IT ANYMORE WOOOT! Which is rather contradictary if you think about it :P
ITEM: Uni Results
RESULTS: CAP up from 4.0 to 4.1, A/A/B+/B+/B-
FUN FACTOR: 3/5
COMMENTS: I'm really happy about the grades. The idea of needing to mantain next sem, though..... :(
ITEM: Writing
WROTE: Too little to make myself happy
FUN FACTOR: 5/5 when writing. 0/5 when not, cause I feel guilty.
COMMENTS: Really need to fix that motivation/discipline issue. *sigh*
ITEM: Wodehouse books
READ: 12
FUN FACTOR: 4/5
COMMENTS: Hilarious in a understated British manner. These are classics, highly recc'd for all Douglas Adams/ Terry Pratchett/ Tom Holt fans.
ITEM: Sudoku
COMPLETED: 8 in 1+ days.
FUN FACTOR: 4/5 when solved. -3/5 when stuck.
COMMENTS: I loved Sudoku before Jovi did the myPaper ones and I joined in, but now I am HOOKED. I actually bought a book full of them! It's called "Brown Belt Sudoku", and it is to me as Vicodin is to House.
ITEM: Tuition classes @FMSS
TAUGHT: 15 hrs of rubbishing with Fairsians.
FUN FACTOR: 5/5.
COMMENTS: I'm so happy that I've found my calling. ^^ And dragging Jovi around was fun too! Ahahaha!
...So, updated! And maybe I'll try updating at least once a week.
Yeah, right.
Heh. Expect me when you see me!
