So there's the whole co-creator of Cards Against Humanity might have raped someone back in college drama going on in the game world right now.  And the noise from the court of public opinion is loud...

I HATE the court of public opinion ( Read more... )

Before my BFF moved away years ago, before game night started, he came to my house.  We would sit down and watch something.  What did we watch?  Hana Kimi (J Drama), Robotech (Anime), Hana Yori Dango (J Drama), and so on.  Then he moved.  I don't know why I didn't think of it then... But that's skipping in the story.

So my BFF was gone for years.  I ( Read more... )

I've been watching season 1 of DARKER THAN BLACK.  I like the show, but I don't love it (like I did GUN X SWORD, which I watched this summer).  I will not watch season 2. (Though I did accidentally watch like the first 1.5 episodes of it... kinda telling that I still don't care, right?)

I think one of the indications that my interest in it isn't ( Read more... )

Watched the second GANTZ movie.  It started off feeling completely new.  There were the 3 or 4 we knew from the end of the last movie (sorry so many people died and joined by the end it was a little hard to keep track).  They had everything down to a science.  Then little bits from movie one crept in.  In the end, beautiful tying of material.  The ( Read more... )

Watched a movie last night based on an ongoing manga that had a two season anime.  Gantz.  Basically, you start the movie following a character, Kei, which I wish we hadn't been following (because frankly I liked Kato better).  He sees an elementary school friend, Kato (they're college age & he is able to recognize him? Dude must not have changed, ( Read more... )

This is one of the reasons I have this private blog... To talk about the shows I watched that I shouldn't have been able to watch.  Ready for some quick yammering?

Years ago I watched a show called Proposal Daisakusen.  It is a Japanese drama and it starred an actor I had watched in another show (Nobota wo Produce).  So I was primed to like it.  And ( Read more... )

Running
I'm on my way to running a ten minute mile.  Not that I can run a mile right now.  I'd probably end up crying.  What I did do is I added another minute to my running time, I am up to 5 minutes (in a row).  And I ran .5 miles in those 5 minutes today.  My lungs hated me afterwards (coughing ensued during walking cool down period).  It happens ( Read more... )

I forgot to mention!  Earlier this week I completed the first chapter of the book I'm using to teach myself Japanese.  Also, I've finished memorizing (though not without fault) the base Katakana. Today, I am finishing my self test of chapter 1 material (so I can revise that which I fail along with moving forward).

My studying plans go like this:
I ( Read more... )

I've been neglecting post and reading LJ.  My bad.  Thing is... It is more than 1 thing.

First is, I'm busy.  I'm trying to achieve writer goals to finish out a bad writing year for me.  The bad writing year is because I quit smoking and everything had to be rebuilt from the ground up.  I'm trying to edit a Middle Grade (MG from here on) chapter ( Read more... )

I was/am reading two books at once because I slightly dislike the main book I am reading.  It isn't bad, but it feels badly paced and the start of the character is totally cliche.  So I figured if I read something along side it, to clean my nerve pallet it would work out good.  I decided to do this in early October, so it shouldn't be a surprise ( Read more... )
