 I got a story to tell y'all.


( A tale of magical RPG animals and irony )


The few months have been interesting. I have worked at McDonalds, been disturbed by it's incredible incompetence, quit, spent a good two months in various locations on the East Coast, browsed all it had to offer, and come home.

Now I have a job at the local movie theater and am overwhelmed by the sheer amount of free viewings and early screenings of varying movies that have been thrust upon me. I have also violently regressed back into Pokemon.

It's kinda nice to have something to do again. And to have a general idea of what I want to do. I'm going to apply for catering classes come tomorrow, and see where it takes me from there! Maybe take another art class for stress relief on the side. It depends.

Anyways, no media round-up today, not until I make a list of all the animes and games and cartoons I've gone through/finished.

I'm trying the cottoncandy_bingo  challenge again, to give myself something to do in my free time. I highly recommend everyone give it a shot!

'til next time! Take care of yourselves!

 With the weather getting chilly and the summer coming to a close, I have another job prospect with a bigger paycheck coming up, and anticipation for the season of heat bills and sweaters. We also have the upcoming premieres of fresh new autumn animes to look forward too, with the summer animes slowly coming to a close with prospects of future continuations in the next year. There's also the lineup of holiday console releases and games. We're aiming for a WiiU currently, because the lure of Pikmin 3, Rayman Legends, and Windwaker HD are just too much to resist.

So I spent the latter half of my summer watching a select few animes (and not animes) and working upon returning from my Caribbean adventures, with a couple of webcomics, movies, and a podcast on the side.

( Mirror, tell me something... )



And that concludes this media round-up, stay tuned for, perhaps, a giant music post.

I GOT MY FIRST JOB TODAY HOLY SHIT It's a really good one at a nail spa, they needed someone to clean up after hours, aaaand I start on Sunday and work three days a week for three hours and get paid eight dollars per hour! :D

So that's an accomplishment I've been hoping to reach for a long time now, and I'm really happy I could get a job doing something I'm experienced in. When you spend two years with nine siblings cleaning becomes your forte.

As a sort of side-hobby I've taken to making fanmixes. I only have one published so far, but it's a pretty big hit! I'm juggling two others as we speak, both Evangelion related as well.

My trip to the Caribbean was something else. So many sights to see, people to meet, friends to make, foods to try! My only complaint is the insane price of food, but it's a small bump on the road of an otherwise perfect summer vacation.

In other words Free! is a perfect anime and you should watch it if you like dorky boys with awesome muscles and tons of homo-erotic subtext and cool water animation holy shit dude.

 I'm not even gonna wait for my next big post to rave about Shingeki No Kyojin (Attack on Titan) because damn man if you are not watching this anime or reading the manga you need to get your ass in gear and do it now.

I'll sum it up:

-Horror/Thriller manga setting done RIGHT whereas mankind is under siege by man-eating giants that kill and eat them for sport only.
-Really simple gender things that it does well such as unisex military uniforms, women are visible EVERYWHERE in the ranks, no gross fanservice or strategic ripping of clothes, no gender stereotyping among the male OR the female characters, and (as horrible as this sounds) an equal amount of men and woman are regularly killed and eaten gruesomely by the ugly enemies of mankind.
-Hotheaded shounen protagonist that is driven, not by passion or idiocy, but disturbing, deeply-rooted bloodlust and hatred and is constantly curb-stomped and has to have his ass rescued.
-Absolutely FANTASTIC handling of sexuality and not emphasizing a character's traits ONLY on their sexuality.
-Plot twists that don't feel cheap or pulled out the ass and fantastic writing.

The anime isn't that far along and will quite unlikely go as far as the manga is now so go spoil yourself silly on the manga before getting started on the beautifully animated episodes.

In contrast to this glorious horror manga that I've gotten attached to, I've joined the hs_worldcup  under the banner of Team Noir, so I don't have to strain under the pressure of being apart of a competing team AND I get to participate in the Bonus Rounds! Here's to hoping that they bring back the super-successful Genre Mixing from last year's HSO!

Additionally, I was linked to a rather realistic Sburb simulator called The Overseer Project, where you can join a session, grind for grist by hammering down enemies of different levels, dream on Prospit/Derse, rise up an Echeladder and get to name the rungs, AND have a whole lot of items to experiment with in alchemy!

If you have a group of friends pining for a Homestuck experience since it's hiatus began, look no further and round them up for an exciting(and time-consuming) game of Sburb, apocalypse not included!

So it's been a while. I'll recap my anime/game/webcomic experiences later after my backlog of homework is done, but since Homestuck is going on a several month long hiatus I can finally focus my spare energy on getting through everything ever wanted to see/read/play.

 SO I READ RUBYQUEST and then I caught up with it's spiritual successor Nanquest and those were pretty fucking neat dude. Then I read Boxer Hockey AND THEY'RE ALL PRETTY GOOD WEBCOMICS WOW I HAVE BEEN MISSING OUT ON A LOT OF COOL SHIT LIKE SISTER CLAIRE AND GO GET A ROOMIE AND GUNNERKRIGG COURT and there's still so much I gotta read.

I haven't been getting much crap done due to catching up on everything but I am going to make an ATTEMPT to update my fic journal today. Other than that, I've signed up for my three college classes and this semester looks like it's gonna be pretty smooth, other than the fact that Iam PROBABLY gonna have to take an hour to drive to Mancas for another campus but that looks like the only bump on the road.

I get the house to myself again around Thursday, I think, least until Sunday night(?), and I still gotta watch the following:

Hellsing Ultimate
Baccano!
Patchwork and Lace

I also need to finish Silent Hill Downpour and I dunno I wanna get Minecraft again because my computer was a dick when it shut down last time and is continuing to be a dick because my battery is dying constantly. Gotta get a new one before the semester starts...

Anyways inbetween all that I'm trying to get back into my writing groove and I guess I'll make a music rec post sometime later after I watch stuff and get myself some food.
