Camera Obscura

Well been quite awhile since I blogged but truth be told I really don't have a reason to do so now. Nothing truly exciting going on in my life. Still can't get a job no matter where I apply or search and at this point with only about a month left of summer break it probably isn't even worth keeping up the hunt. This is something that's just aggravated me to no end. Because of no job I haven't been spending money at all really, pinching pennies like no tomorrow but good thing about it is I'm a pro at that. I did manage to get a hold of 2 movies though for really cheap. Lupin III: Island of Assassins for 3 dollars at FYE and The End of Evangelion for 10 at FYE. Was really shocked to see them had it and even though I didn't want to buy anything except the gift for my friend for his B-day, it was too good of an opportunity to pass up.

In the way of anime watching, I finished watching Haibane Renmei, K-ON, Eden of the East, ZZ Gundam, Char's Counterattack, several different Lupin specials, re-watching 0080 War In the Pocket, and Noir since my last blog. All had their moments but Char's Counterattack and Haibane were really good and so were some of the Lupin specials accept Return of Pycal. Taking one of the best Lupin villains ever and making a really bad one hour OVA made me kind of sick inside. Doesn't help that the episode that he's in from the original 1971 Lupin show happens to be one of the most memorable episodes in anything I've ever seen but this OVA just did so many things wrong that it would take too long to rant about to show why.

Other than that nothing much to say. I might go to the Wallflowers concert in Clifton Park this Tuesday God willing. And after that it might be the only highlight of summer. And of late I've got myself listening to this great Scottish Indie Folk group called Camera Obscura. Got a Belle and Sebastian style about them which is great to hear. I really right now just want to go back to college so I'm occupied and doing something productive because right now this boredom is killing me.

Anyway happy 4th of July to everyone out there, enjoy it. I will cause the rents aren't home for the weekend so who knows what I'll be up to
