My English Professor

I love my English Professor, Prof. Navakas. She's soooo open-minded! I wrote a paper using manga and a video game as sources, and she loved it. She reads them herself, on occasion, even, and she's on /English/ Professor. She attends Comicon every summer, too, and she's considering having a class reunion at ACen in May. It's amazing!

My paper, by the way, was about the portrayal of scientists in modern media, in comparison to Frankenstein. I could write a book about... it. Maybe I -should-. And put the proceedings toward my college tuition. Holy Crap. I love it. I'm gonna do it. I'll ask Prof. Navakas if she'll be my editor, and maybe Dr. Fisher, too. (The class is co... what's the word... ah, co-disciplinary. He's a Philosophy Prof.) Wheeee~, It'll be fun! And I know what I can use for a second book, if I need. I can write a narrative. A stoooory. I've been writing narrative for a while, now, in the form of Roleplay, so I can probably manage it. Maybe help me get into the habit of writing past-tense... Heee~, I'm getting excited! I think I'll start now.

GTO

Ok, GTO! It's about this ex-gang member that wants to become a teacher. Having been a gang member at one point, his goals and methods are unorthodox. His goals change within the first couple of episodes, though. In the first episode, he manages to change a class of delinquints into respectable, studious students, because of the three he tortured. He tortured them because they pulled a prank on him.

It's really quite a funny anime. There's a lot of sexual humor, though, so be aware of that before you show it to any munchkins.

New anime

Aah, crap. I'm falling behind on updates again. Oh well. Anyway. Let's see... ah! Jyu-Oh-Sei is a great anime. Very deep, involved. There's this planet that's used for a punishment planet, though its existance is hidden. Criminals are sent there and they have to survive against the carnivorous plants that dominate the planet. Two boys find their parents dead and are sent to the planet by the Special Forces, made to survive and struggle to the top.

I can't say much more than that without giving spoilers, though I could say about the Rings. The Rings are differenc organizations of people on the planet, each with a different skin color. They feud, they cooperate, etc. The Rings are organized under three individuals. The Top, the Second, and the Third, each with their respective level of power. Thaaat's about all I can say.

Wisdom Teeth

So, I had all four wisdom teeth removed on Monday. I woke up after the operation, but all I remember immediately was getting into the car, and then getting home... and then... leaving to go to my mom's friend's house so she could take care of me because she takes care of his kids while he works. And that's when I remember stuff more clearly. However, I haven't had too much pain, and I've been fairly comfortable throughout the experience. I'll take a pain pill here or there, and I take my antibiotic, an all that stuff, so I'm doing fairly well. I have a little bit of swelling, but it's not so bad.

Best part is the diet it puts me on. Yogurt, pudding, ice cream, milk shakes, juice, tea... I'm not supposed to chew anything, so I get to have all this good stuff, and they'll even get it for me, it rocks. I was playing my game, layin' on the couch, and I ask Mom, y'know, "can I get some ice cream?" And she says sure and gets me some. It's awesome!

Oh, also. I got a LCD monitor for my desktop, which I finally moved up to my room. It's so nice to have it up here, though now I hardly leave my room, which... I really should do more. I should also CLEAN. I'll do that this weekend, when I pack for Anime Central. But, my desktop's new resolution is 1680 x 1050. It's absolutely beautiful... but I need more RAM to keep framerates running smoothly. x.x

I'm playing Disgaea 2, up to the point where Axel actually gets kinda cool in the last chapter, to show my girlfriend 'cause she doesn't believe me about him. He starts out absolutely lame, but he actually gets cooler as the game goes on.

Do it!

Hoo-waaah! I live! Alright.

The trend of me not having time to do all I wanna do continues. Rather, all I -should- do, bu that's besides the point. I'm doing well in school, no need to worry. Oh, wait, I need to study my Calculus... Oh well. I'll get on that later.

Oh, I should watch the rest of A Little Snow Fairy Sugar...

Not much in news other than I've been into my roleplaying a lot lately, and I also got my girlfriend the first 9 episodes of Gurren Lagann, which you should go out and buy right now. I'm serious. Right now. Go to your nearest Suncoast and buy it. And then watch it. And then come back.

Did you do it yet?

New blog

So, I decided I should change my main blog to something a bit more fitting. I don't just play games, after all. I roleplay, I watch anime, I read manga, -and- I play games. It's so much more than just the video games.

So, let's see... I've been reading Negima! a lot lately, I'm up to volume 15, though I used the internet to finish the current story arc. Just to get it over with. I'll still buy it, of course, but I just wanted to finish it already. Heh. As for anime, I watched Ghost Hunt, which is good. Suspenceful at times, kinda scary, I couldn't sleep right away after watching it late at night, all by myself.

As for games, I've been playing a new MMO with a friend and I also found a cool Source engine mod off of Valve. It's based on space ship battle, between two capital ships. You can fly fighters and infiltrate the enemy ship, all sorts of stuff. It's good fun.

Now, with all these games I'm playing, you can imagine that, factor in school, and I might feel crunched for time! Oddly enough, I don't. Though, well, I suppose it's because I watched Ghost Hunt a while ago and read my Negima! books a while ago, too, so all I've got occupying me right now are the games and school.

Also, I've been rewatching parts of another anime, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. I highly recommend this anime! It is AMAZING!

Anyway, yeah. So, here we go, maybe I can maintain the habit of posting regularly this time...
