| lately i have felt like a machine. i work 8-11 hours a day - today is my 11th day of work in a row. it may not be overwhelming but going from 20 hrs a week to this i don't think my sleeping has forgiven yet.
tomorrow i am outta here for a week and a half to drive to washington and do whatever, whenever for the most part. a friend and i are planning on hopping from campground to campground. our only plans are seattle shakespeare company and seattle pride parade.
i am not a camper and i worry, but i am determined to give it my best shot and have fun. i honestly feel that even if it was a horrible time to be had - it would still no doubt be better than this state at this point in time.
i need to get the fuck away! (from many things) | comments: Leave a comment   |

| it appears that the more that happens in life the less i use livejournal. i feel like Mitsue from Kamichu!; even though some crazy shit is happening i still look around and feel bored and think nothing exciting ever happens to me.
perhaps some things just sound exciting.
there are some horrible things that seem to slowly be fading into an overall numbness and then there are some great things that i fear will ultimately end up doing the same. i try to live for now with absolutely no expectations which really only goes to allow the existence of any shred of expectation to induce guilt and self-loathing.

Ran into the Henchman who severed Anne Boleyn
He did it right quickly
A merciful man
She said that one plus one is two
But Henry said
That it was three
So it was

@ 1:52 in the trailer is a piece of my favorite part of the movie. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| | i am actually happy to have to admit that i was wrong. one little moment washes away a lifetime of doubt. i know i create lifetimes of doubt in a matter or moments but there is something very rewarding, refreshing, and completely relieving about realizing you doubted wrong. i don't usually pursue doubts, but i can only guess this would be a more common occurrence if i did. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |

at this very moment i am pretty happy. nothing in paticular - i got 4/20 off, saw some nice hash i am gonna buy. bought some mushrooms, bought a bag - didn't get ripped off on either. watching Higepiyo - which is great and short.
i also picked up the first episode of Konnichiwa Anne ~Before Green Gables~... it was cute i might keep watching it. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| i love how anyone who was in the same high school building as me tries to add me as a facebook friend. i know my standards are low, but if i didn't even remember your face i am not adding you. it isn't as if i am so popular, i just rarely check and then i have like 4 in like 6 months and i stare at them thinking... who the fuck were you?
me and people aren't really getting along lately and by "people" i mean "all human beings" and possibly "all human nonbeings" - objectification is one of my stronger points.
i remember being pretty emo in high school and thinking that there was no one in the whole wide world that wanted to listen to the things i wanted to say. now i can't even imagine wanting to say anything to anyone. it actually works out very well because most people are only interested in what they have to say so when i act as if i am listening and never interject anything about myself people tend to feel like i am some kind of incredible friend.
on the flip side i have also had friends who would get so irritated and without being able to properly explain it would accuse me to keeping secrets or hiding things. not saying something is not hiding or keeping secrets. it is called keeping your mouth shut. every person has a right to privacy. just because you freely give your story to anyone who will listen does not mean that i am now in your debt.
anyway i am sure i have said it before but it i am reminded how irritating the question of "what are you thinking about" is. i guess there is a place and time for such a question - like maybe when someone is visibly showing the signs of thinking.
i think i prefer lurking around lj and reading about peoples lives without being expected to do anything back. of course there are lot of people who prevent you from lurking but i think that if you did a better job at keeping your rl self separate from your www self such things would be trivial - but i guess there will always be unwanted trolls.
i am just rambling now... maybe trying to justify my past and current silence. i can talk, and have conversations - i just think i can cover a lot of topics that don't deal with myself. sometimes i get offended when i feel like silence isn't getting its due respect. ha. | | comments: 10 comments or Leave a comment |

how sad this kiss was, it had me in tears.
so that was it for Uta-Kata and the series really was surprisingly good. my motto for the show was "FUCK the RULES!". i thought after awhile the cryptic nature of every episode would wear thin, but after awhile it just became an expected part of the show. there were also some times when i thought the fanservice was a bit awkward, i came to actually like this, but i still can't say why it felt awkward in the first place. the show turned out to be, well refreshing, i guess. at least for my anime viewing habits.
anyhow there is an oav i am off to watch. | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |

1. Open a music player.
2. Go to 'all music'/'library'.
3. Hit shuffle/repeat/randomise.
4. Find photos of the first 20 artists/bands that come up (no repeats and no cheating).
5. Have people guess who the artists/bands are.
6. Paste this in your journal and do it too, so I can have fun guessing as well.

even though i feel like maybe the 2nd season of Natsume Yuujinchou got a bit too sappy, i still love every episode and i freakin cry every episode. i mean shit, all that happened was that his current "father" told him that he did not owe them any money for a damaged room because this was his home... *cries*
i added yet another new series to my line-up Cross Game, i have also decided to check out the manga after the anime series and just as well i need to check out most of Adachi Mitsuru's manga.
i finished Michiko to Hatchin last night - wonderful ending. i was disappointing at how Atsuko and Michiko parted ways and -that was only somewhat alleviated by Atsuko once again letting Michiko go to hook Hatchin and Hiroshi with a plane ride. I guess i thought maybe "jumbo" deserved a kiss for all her fucked up devotion, am i right? I would have also liked to see not only Hana at the end but even a brief glimpse of Michiko. Anyhow my nitpicking aside i was very happy with way it ended, but sad that it has ended.
finished Daughter of 20 Faces - the last episode was really nothing much, a sort of where are they now what might they do in the unseen future, but still nice to finally see the last episode.
i am having a real issue with the mother in Ristorante Paradiso. this is like my issue with the mother in Angelic Layer. i hate them. she left her daughter at grandmas because she wanted to marry a man who didn't want to marry a divorcee. i was discussing this with someone who is very optimistic that somehow the mother will redeem herself. i feel like redemption would have only come at her suffering, but instead she has a husband an an entire restaurant staff that cater to her.... (i am not sure what is more stupid, in Angelic Layer the mom doesn't see the daughter because she can't walk)
i hope she either becomes a very minor character, or they redeem her quickly.
i just finished Nastume Yuujinchou, there has to be another season - i demand it. for now i read the manga... | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |
| i love the soundtrack for Michiko to Hatchin - i just finished episode 16. episode 14 was pretty badass, and episode 15 might have been one of my favorites. i would really like to see a north american blu-ray release of this series.
the seiyuu for Michiko is really good she is actually not a seiyuu by profession but an actress - Maki Yoko. you may know Maki Yoko from such films as The Princess Blade & The Grudge (or maybe even Summer Time Machine Blues - maybe not).
Ristorante Paradiso thus far has 2 ep released by horrible subs so far only 480p. i have also noticed something quite amusing; read the plot outline for Ristorante Paradiso over at MyAnimeList, then read the plot outline over at GetFansub.com... ummmmmm, no.
i am adding another series to check out this season and that is Natsu no Arashi per a friends suggestion... i am very particular about my male protagonists in certain genres... we will see
the ed for Ristorante Paradiso is sort of creepy... | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |
| today is the second day in the row i have not woke up feeling sick and/or puking. what is the cause? i can't say for sure but one thing i have been trying to do for the last 3 days is eat 3 full meals and nothing a couple hours before i fall asleep.
i still have not been able to do the next thing that i believe will help; getting to bed earlier. it shouldn't be so hard but midnight-1am is what i am shooting for (baby steps).
now on to a better topic anime
it appears the new season has motivated me to start watching again - i finally dled the last episode of Nijuu Mensou no Musume, no thanks to Live-eviL. i can't say for sure why it has turned out this way but - the ealiest post raw for ep 22 was in Sept 2008 and they are STILL sitting on it. they didn't post ep 21 till the start of this year. i understand this is all a free service, it can come out whenever - but sometimes even still some shit is ridiculous, they should have just dropped it or something.
i also want to catch up on and finish Michiko to Hatchin after 2 episodes last night i have 10 more left.
the new season: so far i have watched a handful of episodes - here they are with my initial ratings too.
Basquash (6/10) - Sankaku Complex is calling this an "Oppai Anime" and yes there was a running scene that featured just oppai, but i think i can brave through this and actually enjoy the show, why would i want to? because i love the animation.
K-ON!(8/10) - loved this show, just like i thought. i can't say for certain whether or not this will be as great as i thought, or even the front runner for me this season, but i like the animation, and i love the characters
Phantom ～Requiem for the Phantom～ (7/10) - pretty much every thing you would expect from a bee train series full of girls with guns; tragic past, empty present, hopeful future, secret orginizations. it looked so great in 1080p and yes i am a aesthetics whore. seeing as i liked Noir and Madlax (although never finished the later) i plan to stick with this for now.
Shangri-La (8/10) - first off i will say that i am rewatching this in 720p in hopes it was better than the originally dled video quality. i love the character design which is why i need to see this in HD. the story was already confusing (carbon taxes, carbon credits), but i enjoy the action, the cross dressers, and love the main character.
Saki (9/10) - so hands down and based solely on first episodes this series is the winner and will be all season long. for now i will say that this show is kinda like Hikaru no Go with girls and mahjong (no spirits of dead players). i loved every character in the mahjong club as well as the emo-eque main character. i am clueless about mahjong so all that crap is terribly confusing, but even if you are clueless you get caught up in the excitement expressed by the knowledgeable on-lookers. if this truly ends up being like Hikaru no Go for me i suspect that i will want to learn this game... and then lose interest in it after i have bought a set and a couple instructional books.
some other non-new series i would like to finish soon are Uta Kata, Angelic Layer, Zoku Natsume Yuujinchou, Goku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, and Detroit Metal City. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| in the past two days i have eaten one bologna/cheese/mustard sandwich, it seems to the be the only thing that even sound remotely tasty on the rare occasion that i am hungry.
the dark circles under my eyes are only growing larger and darker with every day. i use to be able to get buy with anywhere between 4-6 hours of sleep, but i don't think it is cutting it. i am sure my appetite isn't helping with my energy levels either.
i truly do feel like a walking zombie... one that vomits a lot. | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |
