Back again

Hey everybody that doesn't read my blog... is that grammatically correct? Aah, who cares. I don't. Anyway. Yeah. I got better within about seven days, thankfully. The term has ended, but I'm still at school. I'm working over the first two and a half weeks of December, you see. Getting me some money so I can buy nice things. Like a good TV. And maybe maybe a PS3. I'll have to see how much I have. I wanna play Disgaea 3.

Or, maybe, instead of all that, I can have my brother build me a solid desktop for all my computer gaming needs. That'd be awesome. I dunno, I'll have to figure it out. Of course, 50 dollars for my grab-bag target...

But, yeah. So, let's see... what to say next... oh, I can't wait for the next volume of Negima in February. I'd wait a year or two to buy more, but I know I couldn't actually pull off the waiting. It wouldn't happen. At all.

And- ahg! Oh god. Drunken gay guy just came into my room and is hanging on me. WhatdoIdowhatdoIdowhatdoI- oh, he's gone. Whew. That was... awkward. And mercifully brief. I don't mind him, no. He just... well, drunk. And hanging on me. It was strange.

Aaaanyway. That's... I lost my train of thought. I'mma go. See ya!

Roooaaar

Alright, randomness. Let's see, what to talk about... todaaay.

I've got it! ... Ok, no, I don't. I just thought that would give me momentum. Crap.

Oh! Now I've got it, I mean it this time. Manga~! So! I went to a Japanese marketplace called Mitsuwa recently, right? I didn't have a lot of money on my card at the time, so I wasn't able to get too much, but I was able to get my hands on the first volume of a manga series I already have, but it's in Japanese this time. So I'm looking through it, looking through it, not understanding a whole lot... but it helps me practice reading. So that's good. I hand it off to Matsubara-sensei (that is to say, my Japanese teacher. -Hakase would mean professor.) in the car and, without realizing it, she starts to read it! After about 8 pages, she realizes it and hands it back, apologizing quickly. I swear, she's adorable.

Like a kitten kind of adorable. Jerks. Gawd.

She's from Osaka, which tends to be a more... verbose city in Japan. You can definitely tell it in her energetic manner and cutesy dialect. For example: many sentences in Japanese end with desu. The 'u', in standard dialect, is silent. (Deh-s). The Kansai (Kah-n-sa-i) dialect, among other things, has the 'u' pronounced. (Deh-su). Try it. It's cute for girls.

But, yeah. Due to a conversation I had with a friend of mine, we're now contemplating comparing Matsubara-sensei to Lolcats. Tee hee.

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.

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...
