And now....a random update
Ah, my last week of vacation. Next week begins the start of the school year meetings. I'll have newer classes, new kids, maybe even some new coworkers, depending on how many made good on their threat to find a better school to work at. Personally, I'm both looking forward to and dreading the new school year. Looking forward because it's my second year, and I'm feeling a bit more prepared for what I will be facing in terms of kids, parents, administration, and paperwork. Dreading, because it's the end of my vacation. It will be good to be back, if only because I do like working and having a schedule for my day, but I'll miss having as much time for art, costumes, and reading.
I'm hoping this fall will bring about some new and exciting anime to watch as well. Lately has been just too much of the same old. Of course, I've discovered the wonders of Ouran HS Host Club, and though much of the fandom is typically silly and filled with children, it hasn't been too bad. But I've tried Kiba, Fate Stay Night, Shakugan no Shana, and Juousei, none of which were interesting enough to keep watching. At least I know for sure that D-Gray Man will be starting, and I'm definitely looking forward to that!
Many good wishes going to my buddy Jekkun who is flying home from Japan!
Saw the Cromartie HS live action movie. I wasn't much of a fan of the show--slapstick only goes so far with me--but the movie was pretty damn funny. I mean, how better to open a movie than with a big Japanese high school student chomping through a dozen pencils?
