*Pictures, you ask? Maybe, maybe not. Depends. It’s late now, after all.

My dreaded examinations are finally over, and the results are only gonna be in next week. Frankly I don’t expect much of myself judging by how badly the papers seemed to go.

In any case, I’ve got more time on my hands now. I’ll probably start trying to improve both my English and Japanese vocabulary as much as possible – through iKnow and the like, probably.

I’ll be catching up with animu and stuff now. I might even eventually get around to watching G00 if I feel like it. I’ve finished Natsume Yuujinchou, it was an alright series. I feel happy after watching but I don’t find much meaning to it, nor do I find anything worth fangirling. I didn’t like the voicers much when I first watched it but they grow on me, almost all voices do. The ending was rather… anticlimatic, as the whole series generally is. Or maybe I expected too much out of it.

I’ve started on the Tales of the Abyss anime as well. The cheagles are so adorable |D Although I do find that the plot development seems quite strange. I read the first few chapters of the manga as well, it’s pretty much the same thing, and I found it very weird even then. I’m not a Lit student so I can’t really pinpoint what aspect of it seems weird to me, but uh. Either way, I’m guessing it has to do with how it was adapted from the game. I was actually kind of disappointed with the voicer for Luke when I watched the trailer, but as I said, it kinda grew after the first and second episodes although I still prefer a voice with a somewhat different kind of feel for a character like Luke.

I’d like to try and play more of my games too, my Wii has been rotting beside my computer monitor for at least two weeks (actually, maybe three) already. I haven’t really tried out SSBB properly yet, and that kind of game isn’t exactly my forte, but whatever. Super Mario Galaxy is also still unfinished as yet. There are way too many galaxies to cover! Although I did get all the Grand Stars already.

Gotta sleep now, sorry it’s kinda short (or maybe you’d be thinking Don’t Be Sorry, It’s Finally A Semi/Demi-Short Post Hurrah)

AKA Work vs. Play, or as depicted, Homework Monster vs. Zelda

*Picture NOT owned by me in any way, I got it from a dArtist whose style should be quite recognisable. Very talented artist.

Play Wins! ONE HIT K.O.

Okay random, but that’s really what’s going on now.

I’ve gotten back into my semi-obsessions, which are, for now, the likes of a certain Japanese SNS fashion-related website, as well as Purime 5 (as usual T___T)

Bad timing, since my examinations are in, oh, TWO FRCKING WEEKS?!

On top of that, I have this project due THIS FRIDAY and I haven’t even started properly on it. I’ve kind of gotten a rough idea for it already, and I think it’s pretty feasible, just that uh. Not sure if the teacher grading me will feel the same way about it.

Now that I have your attention, I shall ramble.

*BY THE WAY, this was supposed to be posted on 15 August but I think I wanted to get nice pictures but uh I can’t be bothered now, so here you go. Really late, yeah, but it’s quite a rubbishy ramble-post. My practical’s over, too.

I have the vague idea that I will fail my Chemistry practical (more of the theory part of it). My Social Studies essay is pretty doomed as well since multiculturalism is really quite vague imo, and my writing has never been good, or rather, only for all the subjects which require you to elaborate and/or inference a lot (along with the fact that uh, the answers are probably not found directly in the textbook and notes.

Oh well.

Either way, I’ve been catching up with Soul Eater, which I still kind of dislike despite the very slick and very cool animation by BONES since the characters, though unique and memorable, do not happen to appeal directly to me. I am of the opinion that the voices don’t exactly match all the characters fully…(was that Chopper’s voicer I heard along the way, btw?!) And the character traits get irritating quite quickly, unfortunately, even though the development is coming along.. fine…. or worse. The occasional fanservice doesn’t help much, although the boin boin~ is not overdone unlike in Sekirei.

TUTE DIED HOW COULD HE. Tetsuwan Birdy Decode really appeals to me on the other hand. Despite the leotard, fanservice is not excessive nor overdone imo. Rather, the leotard is pretty elegant sometimes, and the action scenes are all really well-done despite high speed god-mode… Just right! |D Plus the main lead isn’t really of that horrible a character, unlike NICEBOATTHAR Makoto (unrelated but anyway).

Natsume Yuujinchou seems fine for the first episode, OP and ED not really very speshul or anything, but I like the Nyanko-sensei (I liek his voice in ‘true form’ better of course) although the impression I have of Natsume (as well as the series on the whole, for now) is still more of… weird.

Also been watching Ryoko’s Case Files, now I know why I love Ryoko so much, she’s so similar to Artemis Fowl. Rich, egocentric, scheming, it’s all there! In addition the fact that they both deal with the supernatural and have exceptional deduction skills, maybe. Furthermore they aren’t very honest with themselves half the time, and are great actors |DD I really want to read the whole Artemis Fowl series but being the deprived little Shift (are you Control or Alternate?) I am, I have only read around two (plus or minus one at the most) of the whole series. Time Paradox looks intriguing *o*

Speaking of books I have been trying to read Amatsuki for the art. The story doesn’t seem to have proper transitions or logic and keeps skipping here and there though. What’s more, half the time it reeks of Philosophy, what with the ‘Is this world real?’ and who knows what else, that doesn’t really make sense. On the other hand, I really like the art style. I think the anime semi-butchered it, though probably not that badly. Not anywhere near a Yashigani anime, thankfully, since most studios are funded moderately well these days.

Note– YES Hibari is finally back to normal in the latest chapter! (his hair was indeed quite fluffy in TYL mode)

I’ve been playing Super Mario Galaxy as well, got 3 Grand Stars already. I want SSBB and Mario Kart though… or at least Okami D: Also still waiting for FFXIII and Rune Factory. It is a sad long wait. A very sad long wait.

On another note, This poupee girl rubbish actually seems to be pretty interesting. It helps my fashion sense, at the very least, which is less than non-existent, fyi.
