Panic Switch: off!

Lol blog whussat?

I'm currently in Wallaceburg, at Jenny's house. Thus my appearance on the interwebs. I'm going to be here a few days, just because. And you know what? I'm damn glad about it. I'm one of those people who doesn't like staying at people's house for more than 24 hours, but I'm actually looking forward to this. I want a damn vacation.

My summer has been hectic - each time one big event gets done and overwith, something else needs my rushed attention. And you know what? Finally it's done. No big parties, reunions, weddings, funerals, picnics, vacations, appointments - nothing planned. Well, that is, until school starts. I go back on the ninth, so expect me on interwebs frequently after that point.

But until that day, I've got nothing but time. And it feels great. No places to be, no things that require my immediate attention, nooothing. Well, occasional barn work, but that's not long term. So yey. <3

Anyways, as for my title, double meaning. Meaning one's already been cleared up; smoooooth sailing from here on out.

Meaning two?

Picked up the new Silversun Pickups CD today. And so far, I love it. I like the band's sound, and how each song has a feel that is, generally, indescribable. I do like the song "Panic Switch", thus the title. Yeah. Also picked up State of Shock's CD, and after a listen, I thinks I like them more than I did before. Also found out their bassist is a girl, which has to make me go w00tw00t, just 'cause. Yey. <3


Anyways, in my free time, I've been playing video games (mostly .hack//GU, finally on the third game, and Enchanted Arms), watching anime (check out Solty Rei, it's awesome), and ...watching Little House on the Prairie with my mother. I actually turned off the Magnificent Seven to watch that with her. WTF is wrong with me? ;_; The worst part? I've actually enjoyed it. Hurrrrr. I don't get it.

But yeah, not much else going on. Some weird kid on msn hitting on me, and no, not the french guy. ;_; Ah well. I'll scare him off, huuhuuhuu.

So I'm out for now. Ciao!

Before I post this I need to pull a random pannel out of a manga I read to post at the bottom. Yush.



Yes, Fujimoto-san, we shall.
Ta.

Exams / List update

Five exams down, one to go.

Exams done:
-Business accounting, which was in-class. I'm fairly certain I passed, considering it shows us our mark as soon as we complete it... yeah, I passed.
-Communication Skills II, what can I say? Easy peasy!
-Floral Design and Retailing, omg, I don't think I've ever studied this long/hard in my life. But it paid off, because I'm fairly certain I passed~!
-Plant Propagation, complete and utter fail. Fuck you, tissue culture!
-Landscape Design, done. Passed. Did exceedingly well. And I even was drunk the night before. Hahaha.

Exams to go:
-Computer Applications II, I'm a little worried over this, not because it'll be hard, but because I completely blew off doing my final project, so I'd at least want a 90 on the exam, which should be easy to do (after all, I never go to class and I have a 93), but still a little annoying.



As for my anime/manga list, I might as well put where I'm at in each, so I don't get lost. Also sorting list by what I have on my computer, what I have access to, and what I still need to track down.

What I have on meh lappytop:
- Eureka 7; re-watch
- .hack//sign; re-watch
- Cowboy Bebop; re-watch
- Samurai Champloo; ep. 15
- Trinity Blood anime; ep. 6
- Sailor Moon; ep. 3
- Gundam 00; start
- Rock Musical Bleach; Dark of the Bleeding Moon, No Clouds in the Blue Heavens, the All, Live Bankai Show .002
- Witch Hunter Robin; ep. 16

What I have access to:
- Bleach... watch every episode with Tosen in 'em.
- Suzuka; ep. 8
- Genshiken 2; start
- Ouran High School Host Club; ch. ???
- Special A; ch. ???

What I need to find:
- Sayonara Zatsubou Sensei; ep. 3
- Samurai Seven; re-watch
- Seven Samurai; watch.
- Gundam 00; second season

ALL CAUGHT UP:
- Amatsuki manga; ch. 39


List will be updated as I remember things or cross things off.

The things I have on my laptop are lowest priority; I can get into those during the summer. Well, I'll need a subbed version of the musicals, but at least I have the raw, original Japanese....
What I have access to is top priority. Mostly for Amatsuki and Bleach, as reading manga on dial-up hates to work and watching anime is even worse. Actually, for the Bleach one, I need the Tosen eps. because it looks like I'll be roleplaying him on High Risk, No Return but since I missed all the episodes with him in them, it will be difficult. XD I must catch up!


PS, I've decided to start adding random pictures to the bottom of my blogs, as following Travis' example.

Manga un-reccomendation / KisaTen... TenKisa? Tentenkisame? Kisakisatenten? UWAAH.

Firstly.




Now that that's cleared up, moving along.

Never ever ever ever ever read Fire Candy.
Ever.
It's so disgustingly beautifully gory even I found MYSELF flinching. I mean, it had it's charming parts, like when Haru (the quarter-lynx feminine-looking divorcee/father and prostitute) messed up that one guy's eyeball and then ate it right out of his skull, because he thought it was funny. And when Leo tore that one guy's nails/toe nails out, broke his wrists/ankles, and much more ghastly things I can't even remember from the overload of gore...

But yeah. I think the plot was something to do with half-animal (but human-looking, no anthros) drug-addicted teens that got mad because the prices were jacked up. Or something. I don't remember. I was too distraced with my... utterly disgusted reactions. And it wasn't just for gore. There were other parts I skipped. ...Yeah. That kind of stuff. -ahem- but regardless... even though I feel a little faint after reading it, I'm kinda pissed at the author for not finishing it (and it won't be finished ever. Ah well. at least it didn't leave off in teh middle of plot).

But yeah.

Leo is teh secks. Easily my favourite character. i dunno why. He just looks cool and he kicks ass. And stuff. Yeah. And he puked and it was all over his face and it made me lawl XD XD XD lol yeah I dunno. But he's gonna spontaneously combust some day and die so that kinda sucks. Oooooh weeelllll~ moving oooon~

I have...

...nothing to report.

Except for one thing.

I've found a manga I'm so utterly and completely in love with that I sat in tihs very same spot from about 11 - 5 just reading it. I read all MangaFox had up; and I want mooooaaar! I'm so totally in love with the characters - all of them! - the development isn't slow, or annoying elusive, it's got a perfect pace to match the characters and the story. And oh, Gods, the art work is astounding! I love it!

So guys! Go to MangaFox (what a fantastic site~) and look up "Otomen". It's amazing. Seriously.

And for a shoujo, it's so unique, without being over the top. It's fantastic.

And like I said, I love all the characters. My favourite changes every two minutes. XD When I started writing this Asuka was my favorite, but right now Otomen's flavour, to me, is Tachibana. Haha, by the time I post it I'll probably be like "Noo! Waiiit! I like Ryou!" because I do love them all so much. ;_; And they all have their own little plots that keep me so amused~

READ IT D:
Readreadread! I actually like this more than Witch Hunter Robin...! Gah!
