Okay, okay! First thing is first: anime! It’s about four
weeks into the Winter 2013 season so I decided I’d take some time to ramble
about some of the awesomer shows that I’m watching. For the continuing shows,
as in shows that were running before the start of this season, I’d have to say that
Fairy Tail is still on top. But there are quite a few other shows that never
seem to disappoint either, such as Space Brothers (Uchuu Kyodai) and Hunter x
Hunter, both of which have been running for a while now too. There’s also
Shirokuma Café, but that kinda feels like a “fluff” show for me. Then we have
shows like Robotic’s;Notes, Psycho Pass and Zetsuen no Tempest, which are
continuing from last season. All of which are great shows.
The winter 2013 season has a couple sequel series that I’m
pretty excited about too. Probably the best show, and the one I’m most excited
about this season, is Chihayafuru 2, a continuation of Chihayafuru. And then
there’s Haganai (Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai) NEXT, which is another series
that I’m happy to see more of.
And then there are the new shows. The list is quite long, so
I’ll only talk about a few. GJ-bu just might be my favorite show this season,
especially since Kirara is probably my favorite character this season. (I don’t
generally play the “favorites” game, but Kirara is just plain awesome). Another
good one is Mondaiji tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru soudesuyo? (which is quite a
mouthful, so I just call it bunnies). Kuro Usagi, one of the main characters of
Bunnies, is a close second for awesomest character of the season. You know,
there just aren’t that many bunny-people out there, I think we could use more
characters like Kuro Usagi, don’t you?
Maoyu and Kotoura-san are the last two that I’m going to
ramble about. Maoyu reminds me of Spice and Wolf, and to be honest, it’s a nice
change of pace compared to a lot of the shows that have been coming out
recently. I think it’s funny how none of the characters have names, just
titles. “Maou” or “Hero” or “Mage” heh. And finally Kotoura-san. This show, I
just don’t know how to classify it. It’s cute, it’s funny, it’s sad, it’s… it’s
I don’t know. It’s just a good show!
Games. Hmm, I still play games, aye. But not so much as I
used to, I don’t think. I only log into World of Warcraft to tend to my farm
and to train my Battle Pets, although I’m going to have to level a character on
a different server in order to obtain two rare pets, so that’ll be a big
time-sink. In related news, I’ve been able to catch every wild Battle Pet
currently available in the game! There is one pet that only spawns in the
summer, so I have to wait for that to get my “Zookeeper” title, and I’m sure
that there will be a few new wild pets in the up-coming patch. But right now,
at this moment, I have every wild Battle Pet. Yay me!
The other game I’ve recently picked up is League of Legends.
I’m still not that great at it, but recently my skills as Sona seem to have
increased quite a bit. I’m also not too bad with Ahri, but if I’m looking to do
awesome, I tend to choose Sona.
Let’s see here, real life events, huh? Well the first thing
that comes to mind is a Superbowl party that I’m going to this weekend. I’m not
an American Football fan (or a normal Football fan, heck I’m not a sports fan
at all), but my sister invited me over to watch the game, have pizza and
partake in all those “game-day” activities.
Thinking farther into the future though, all I can really see
is Anime Expo. Anime Expo! It’s still six months away, but I’m still pretty
excited for it. I’ve already started saving up money for this year’s convention
and I’m going to start looking for suitable room-mates soon, seeing as the
Housing just opened on the AX website last night.
I don’t think that any Anime Expo will be able to trump my
first Anime Expo, heck I got to see Hatsune Miku live! But that doesn’t mean
that going to an Anime Expo without being able to see Miku live isn’t any fun.
It’s still a blast! Hmm, I wonder what kind of stuff I’m going to buy this
year. Ah, I’m so excited~
Lastly (but not quite last, because there’s still the
closing statements and whatnot) is me rambling about my writing. Sure I can
tell you that the final draft of “Titan III” is over half-way finished (content
wise) but that’s not what I want to talk about today. Today I want to ramble
about a new project that I started yesterday. Up until recently whenever I got
an idea (be it an expansion of an existing idea, or a new idea) I’d open a
document that I called “Story Info” and jot the idea down.
While reading though this giant list (over 20 pages long,
single spaced, size 11 Arial) I found quite a few inconsistencies between old
info and new info. So I decided to make a super-organized spread-sheet for all
of my ideas. I’m still not too familiar with how Excel works, but I’ve created
pages for characters, races, abilities and a few other categories. I’d like to
find out how to have each cell, when clicked, redirect to a detailed
explanation of whatever it was that the cell contained, but I’m not quite sure
if that is possible with Excel.
Another, not-unrelated, thing that I’ve ran into is names of
some of my characters. Mainly a character who was once named Semajj. I’ve
decided to change his name because I’ve been using the name Semajj as an online
alias for quite some time now and having his name be the same as my online
alias just seemed…odd. So now I’ve got to find a suitable replacement name for
him, which might be tough because he’s been a character of mine for quite some
time. Oh well, I’ll worry about that when he show up, which isn’t for quite
some time.
And now we’re at the end. But before we go (and before I
forget) here’s this week’s Song of the Week:
That was “Kitty” by The Presidents Of The United States Of
America. Anywho, as always if you have any questions, comments, tips or
