My Top 10 Animes (i think)

Currently My Top 10 Animes are:


Bleach
Death Note
Samurai Champloo
Full Metal Alchemist
Naruto
Golden Boy
Ghost in the Shell
Kare Kano (His and Hers Circumstances)
Trigun
Shin Chan

I was scanning through the animation board and saw the title Your Top 10 Animes. I wanted to figure out what mine were before I headed over there. To be honest, I really need to broaden my horizon, I struggled to fill up this list.

Snowed In

Ah, a Northeaster, Looking out the window everything is white. There is no sky, just faint houses and tree silhouettes in the distance.

I watched Naruto last night, lol Lee's "loopy fist" Guy sensei slipped Lee alittle sake! SAKE! not an elixir! hahaha, that episode made me laugh.

Well, I guess I'll study...but first... Death Note :D

Hehehe Good Day!

My recap for Bleach episode 20 was accepted yesterday, I am very pleased! I did not expect it to get looked at yet because I think the mod is a college student. This week and next week is the hardest (at least for me), the workload is pretty heavy and it takes a lot of effort to prepare for the end of the semester. 

Today in composition c.l.a.s.s we had a peer review, where we just edited a fellow student's movie review. I actually had fun doing it, but I had to refrain a little, before I rewrote her paper. I got many compliments from my professor regarding the papers I have passed in throughout the semester. Yay! Usually I'm self-conscious about my writing, but I'm feeling more confident now that I've taken so many writing c.l.a.s.s.e.s. 

So, I'm just happy in general. During this winter break I hope to write more reviews or recaps for Bleach, and hopefully I can crank out a drawing or two. Oh, and I have to go Christmas shopping.

Yesterday - Gaming | Today - Pj's

Yesterday was a great day. I got home from work 30 minutes late, did three loads of laundry and played Bleach wii for like four hours. I folded clothes during the loading screen in between fights, and even after I shut off the game the background music was still playing in my head. Then my boyfriend called me up and we hung out with his friends and played with his gorgeous PS3 for four or five hours. Unfortunately due to all this game play, I missed Death Note. Oh well, I'll have to find it on youtube adultswim.com or something. I had fun but I couldn't tell what was real anymore. I stumbled onto the Bleach forum on GameSpot, some of the forum posts there are incredible. I may be hanging over there from time to time. Usually when you go to a forum for a video game, you expect to read things about the game, but they have full on manga speculation. It's a bit superfluous but I like it.

Today is one of those days where I'm in my pjs and all my uncles are coming over to visit. Behold my red plaid pajama bottoms and red fleece sweater! I'm the type of person that doesn't go out in public in my pj's unlike some people, so I don't like it when relatives see what I sleep in. I've seen some peope go to a supermarket in pajamas and fuzzy slippers running around food shopping. I find it bizarre, don't you feel underdressed. It's kinda the same thing as going out with curlers in your hair, except there is more effort there. Well that's my personal prejudice.  
Ooh, I feel like I got my personality drained out of me. T_T

Metal of Bleach in Disguise | Any movie suggestions?

Damn, I haven't been able to write a blog entry for a couple of days, the damn cursor wouldn't work in the text box. Oh what cruel fate! it's things like that that cause me to have a bad day!
I saw Transformers finally! It was a lot better than I thought it would be! The special effects were amazing, they chose the right time to make this movie, the technology we have now was just right for this movie's graphics. I really wish I saw it in the Imax, it would have been AMAZING!
Recently I've fallen in love with the Bleach game for Wii now that I know how to play, conveniently right around the time I should be studying for finals! I played it once after I bought it and just didn't get it, but yesterday I unlocked Rukia which caused that giddy nature in my to erupt! Oh,I take back all the mean things I said about Renji's bankai, it's sexy, I love it, end of story :D
I watched my bf play Metal of Honor for the PS2 (I don't know which one it is, maybe the third one) but that game still looks amazing despite how old it is, the AI is actually intelligent and somewhat unpredictable for a change. There's nothing quite like emptying a clip into a Nazi soldier.
The stress of school is killing me, I try to think happy anime related thoughts to get me through the day. I only have six ****s left before finals X_X. I have to finish my website, write a 30 page "journal", review Logic and find a movie to review. Why did I take so many writing intensive ****s, WHY? I hate writing intelligently.
Any suggestions on a movie that has been in theaters?

AHHH! (you know)

hey guys,I barely have anytime to come on here, school and work have been stressing me out. if I make it past this week I'll be surprised!

Avatar Question

I would really like to get into Avatar, but it's never on when I'm around. Does anybody know where I can watch some episodes from the beginning (let's just say that I missed ALOT), or do I just have to buy the dvds?

Aww Peanuts

I was watching a show about Charles Schutz (the creator of Peanuts the comic strip) and it make me realized how much of a life he missed out on. I don't know, it depressed me alot. He let a marriage die, missed out on his kids growing up and neglected to take therapy because he didn't want it to change the comic strip. Being kind of an artist (i went to school for art) it's my dream to have something of mine enjoyed by people outside my social group. I never really thought about the consequence of losing your personal life (but I kinda feel like that's already happening to me). I don't know. I really want to do something and be worth something but not to the extent that I lose myself and miss my chance to be the person I can be. Sorry, does that make any sense. It really got to me and I ended up weeping at the loss of a chance to be a great person that has a great life.
