Well I'm bored so I'll post a blog. So, I guess I reached level 37 so woot. Not too sure when it happened but must have been not too long ago. My spring semester is wrapping up with only 26 days left in it (woot). So with that in mind, I have quite a few research papers I have to have done soon so seeing me around might be even scarcer than late.
The good news. With summer coming up, baseball is here and I'll be having personal battles of happiness and anger as I watch the Yankees meander about for a good portion of the season trying to figure out who they really are. Also this means being able to meet up with my friends from back home and hanging out with them. It'll be nice to not have to not have to value free time for awhile and just be able to appreciate it for what it's worth. Nothing beats lounging in the sun, playing some soccer or baseball, campfires and listening to music out in the wild blue yonder. Who knows, maybe even a concert lies in the wake of summer as well. I'm just trying to be optomistic about it for now
The bad news. With the gauntlet hell known as my second spring semester here at college, the papers and projects and possible finals I have to do before wrapping this nice sophmore year up might leave me stressed, angered and just plain frustrated for awhile. I sense a prickly deamoer coming my way for awhile (lol). I also found out a week ago that the possible highlight of my summer was dashed and shot right in the forehead. I was trying to convince my friend to go to Otakon with me for the 3 days it's held in Baltimore. After much prodding and trying to convice his rents it'd be worth his time and money he agreeded but only to my shagrin to find out he can't go due to a family vacation he's going on then. Boo famalies. So with that, the money I have been saving up might as well be either burned or just spent on things, like more anime, running shoes, CDs, etc.
Coming up on the 28th is the release of Bob Dylan's 33rd album titled Together Through Life. I'll make damn sure to pick it up because Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench are playing on it. It should be a great album just like his past few. Sara Watkins first solo album just came out as well and that's something I'll have to find and buy as well. Wilco's new album and DVD should be out soon so it'll be something else to pick up. Finally, Neko Case's album has been out for quite sometime now and I have to remember to snag it next time I run into Borders.
In the way of anime, Kara no Kyoukai (1-3) has been the best thing I have watched in ages. I really enjoy them and suggest you check them out as well. Cryptic, gory, violent, beautiful. The first four movies (gonna watch the 4th this weekend hopefully) are all under an hour so it's quick and a great watch. Also I've been watching FMA: Brotherhood, Dragonball Kai, Eden of the East, Shangri-La and K-ON!. I'll have first impressions on them really soon at the Anime Cafe so be sure to check it out but overall I like all of them to varying degrees. Also when the Lupin III vs Detective Conan gets subbed, I'll have a review on it too also at the Anime Cafe so be sure to come by and enjoy the talks. Got a good one going on now about what if you were born in Japan and how your views of anime might be then.
Well if I think of anything else I'll edit this and add on but for now, ja ne. Hope you guys are having fun in this great spring weather. Always a pleasure to talk with you guys.
P.S. Ugly man say wha?
