(no subject)
I cannot for the life of me seem to keep focused long enough to post a sizable entry.
Last night, I caught a documentary on TV about anime's influence in Hollywood culture. Crispin Freeman is hotter than I remembered. (he was one of the people they interviewed) Some of it was informative, but I think they missed some of the really influential anime. They talked about Ghost in the Shell A LOT, but what about Evangelion? Maybe I'm just taking it from a video game perspective, since mindfuckery and plot vagueness is more rampant there, but Eva was hugely influential to EVERYTHING. There were maybe a couple of seconds taken from it, but little was mentioned about it. The most Fullmetal Alchemist was shown was during the part about how robots are so popular now (with a clip of Ed and Al). WTF. They also talked about how anime became more mainstream, and their explanation was basically Pokemon -> Adult Swim. Granted, Adult Swim has been around for a while, and is showing anime more mature than Pokemon, but that just didn't happen in a day. Anime turned mainstream initially because of Toonami, which brought Sailor Moon and Dragonball Z to the forefront. Yes, anime is booming because of major titles appearing on Adult Swim now, but it didn't just happen like that instantly.
I finally got the stress to come down. Mother Nature is letting up too, but then I get a fucking sinus infection. Can I stop getting bombarded with physical shit? Seriously.
I'm sorely tempted to go strictly indie with all my RP stuff. After the drama I got wrapped up in at luceti, I haven't been able to stick to a game. I like RPing with different people, but my shyness is kicking in. I want to find a place where I can get comfortable and just have fun. It's really annoying to be in a game and be constantly worrying about people who don't like you or if you're playing correctly or any of that shit. I'm tired of feeling like I've pissed people off. (I don't know how, but I get the suspicion that some people don't like me for whatever reason.) Once I can think of a name for a muse community, I'll put it up. I've finally gotten used to threading on LJ. XD;
And just for kicks, I suppose:
the anonymity meme
If people really do have a hate-on, I suppose they can just vent it there.
