3 weeks till I move out! I got approval on the apartment and UCF also has gotten all my transcripts so it looks like everythings going as planned. I'm going shopping in Orlando tomorrow for some more stuff. Still haven't found a sofa I really like though, I'm about to just give up and get whatevers cheap and reasonably comfortable. I found a real neat desk though at Office Max I'll probably get.
Yesterday there was a big fire on Murrell Rd. just down the street down from my house. So I walked down there, camera in hand, and got a whole roll of pictures. I think I may use them for my final, as sort of a photojournalistic project, I'm not sure yet though.
I've been working through the Naruto manga where the anime left off and I'm really kind of irritated at how some of the best characters get the least exposure during the course of the series. Don't get me wrong, the plot is great, all the characters are pretty well done (some more than others), it's a great series. But what the hell? Yeah, I know its supposed to center around Naruto and Sasuke and Sakura, but lets face it, Sasuke's a little angsty bitch-boy, Sakura's Sasuke-obssesed ass is near useless most of the time, and while Naruto does cool shit, he's still can be annoying. What does Hinata, who's badass when she actually fights (which happens ONCE, and again for like 2 seconds in the 2nd OP sequence of the anime), cute as a button, and definatly the coolest girl, get? ONE FUCKING PANEL out of god knows how many chapters. "Everyone has their hobbies.... I'd sure like to find one for myself" she says, probably because she's bored out of her mind since the manga refuses to let her do a damn thing. Poor girl.
Also, I started watching Stellvia of the Universe a few days ago. It's incredibly awesome. The characters are interesting, it's got drama but also some lighthearted stuff, and the music is great. I'm about halfway through, and looking forward to finishing it when I get some more spare time.
