Whomp You Man...

Life has really been sucking lately. That is explains why there has been no real post in a while... Seriously, I've not really done a thing. I haven't even had a freind over in ages, so I can't even talk about that. But let's see what I can think up and try to make this a slightly long entry so there is actually something to read...

Okay well, I don't remember if I ever mentioned it, but I finally used up the rest of my A-Kon film, hence why I had my pictures from it scanned. But I used it up on pictures of my with some friends of mine I haven't had pictures taken with yet. If anyone would like to see those, just let me know. I would be happy to share and tell you who the person in the picture with me is. I am very happy I got those pictures.

So anyway, I've been working on a prop for my friend D. All CosPlay information is TopSecret, so I will not disclose what prop I am making for her. Why? Cause I just don't feel like talking about it, that's why. I want the costumes I wear to Oni-Con to be a secret and saying hers will give mine away a bit. I know, they wouldn't have had I not said that, but I did so that it would take that effect. Ha!

I recently finished 2 props for one of my costumes. I still have 2 left, which will take time and money. I may not actually do them, as I am low on cash. I still have to buy my plane ticket soon before they start going up in price. It's hard living on $150 pay checks for two weeks of work...

Saw Fantastic Four with my mother. Dr. Doom was weak. Made me sad.

Did a little research. Iron Man should be out in 2007. Spider-Man 3 will be out May 4, 2007. Ghost Rider with Nicolas Cage will be out in 2006. They are thinking about a Dare Devil 2, while I hated the X-Men movie, except for Ice Man. Constatine 2 is being thought up, but is unsure at this point. Hellboy 2 wants to get going but they need to wait for the director to finish something else he is currently working on. Christian Bale hinted at a very dark Joker for the 2nd Batman movie... Umm... Harry Potter 5 won't be out till 2007... Most importantly, Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest will be out July 7, 2006. Woo~~~ And they are filming the 3rd movie back-to-back with the second one.

I just finished the 3rd Harry Potter book a few moments ago. I never read any of the books before, but my friend D talked me into reading them. She suggested that I go ahead and read the 3rd one as the first 2 movies did a good job of covering those books. I hope to have the 4th book read before I see the movie later this year. And I am SOOOO looking forward to the Witch, the Lion, and the Wardrobe movie coming this Christmas!

Also, I would like to take this time to tell you the animes I am currently watching and my feelings on them real quick. As I am in the middle of a whole lot, I will only list the most recent.

Snow Queen - Based on the Hans C. Andersen story. My favorite of his stories told in Anime. Makes me happy. I am curious to see how they stretch the story 49 episodes long though. And I am not happy with the art all that much. (Only 1 ep out.)

Shuffle! - One of those "One dude with 50 girls craving his love" anime. I enjoy them cause they are so funny, and the characters are crazy. This one is cute. The Gods and Demon dimensions have opened and they now can cross over into ours at will. We all live together yadda yadda. This boy has been chosen to be the fiance` to either the princess of the God dimension of the princess of the Demon Dimension. In other words, he could real one of the two power dimensions. Very cute, funny, great art. Love it. (Only 4 eps out)

Tsubasa Chronicle - Based on the CLAMP Manga. I love this series in both versions. I love the art, music, and voices. They use all their old characters, give them new lives, add new characters and send them through dimensions in search of memories. Sweet story. (On ep 17)

MAR - One of my faves. Young boy, very weak, sent to another dimension filled with fairy tale type beings. Finds himself stronger. Weapons called ARMs are used here, and he finds a very rare one. Now he is determined to fight an army that is trying to take over this world he has come to. Very cool. Does anyone notice there are a lot of dimension stuff going on? (On ep 10)

Loveless - Okay... Umm... My friend D told me to check it out. It's shounen-ai, I know. But... If I ignore the dude kissing the dude, it's actually a pretty good series. I have seen 4 eps and they've only kissed once, so... Magic fighting that reminds me of Negima.

Magic Teacher Negima - 11 year old magician from Britan comes to Japan to teach school as part of his training. Teaches at an all girl school. Gets into magic fights. Teams up with a girl in his class to be his fighter. Fighter attacks and defends with the magic user casts spells... From the person who made Love Hina... So the main girl looks like Naru. (Ep. 22 out, on ep 10)

Victorian Romance Emma - Very light and simple story. Victorian England. Maid and a rich young man fall in love. They try to over come all odds and be together. (12 eps, on ep 9)

Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid - Second season to the original. Never got to finish the original, but I love the characters so I have to watch this season. So funny. (On ep 3)

Eureka Seven - Another one D recommended. No kissing dudes this time. (By the way, I've nother against dudes kissing and liking each other... I just don't want to see it.) This is a fun series. Reminds me of a mix between FLCL and Full Metal Panic, while sky surfing. (on ep 9)

Erementar Gerad - Don't try to pronounce it, you'll go mad. It's a cool series. Sky pirate main character finds girl in a box. She is of an all female race known as Eden Raids that can transform into powerful weapons when they make a contract with a human. (On Ep. 13)

Elfien Lied -WOAH~~! My gawd! So much gore and blood and wrongness... I wasn't sure about this one at first. Too gory and too much nudity for me. But if I sedate myself (as not to go insane from the wrongness of the gore) and ignore the nudity... It's crazy and interesting enough to keep me into it. I love the theme too. But I swear it's the only song in the whole series. (On ep 5)

Tide-Line Blue - Post Apocoliptic future. Most of the world is under water. Young boy and his crush (with her recently born child) are on a submarine. Not sure what that plot is yet, but I like it. (3 eps out, on ep 3)

Trinity Blood - Preist that is really a Vampire that feeds on the blood of Vampires and belongs to a bad-a group of warrior-ish priests under the command of the pope's right-hand bishop (Lady Catherina) who fight creatures of the night while the world is torn between humans and Vampires. 'Nuff said. Kinda has a Trigun mixed with Helsing feel to it. (on ep 10)

Onmyou Taisenki - Digimon type thing... I like it. (on ep 4)

Last One -
Akahori Gedou Hour Rabuge - It's like two anime in one. First half, two girls want to further their comedy career, so they became superheros with the same team name to get credit. But they don't care if they kill or hurt innocent people, as long as they capture or kill villans of any level (panty theives to axe murderes) as long as they "did justice." People hate and fear them, so they are more like villans. One girl likes bid chests on women and little girls, and the other girl likes little boys under the age of 10... Other half is about 5 sisters whose parents were henchmen in evil organizations. Their last wish was for their daughters to become real villans, beyond the life of henchmen. So they gain magical powers to be villans, but keep doing good deeds so they are more like superheros... (On episode 1)

Speaking of all this... I am PISSED. D.Gray-man, one of my all time fave manga series has been licensed. They last chapter translated was a FLIPPIN cliff hanger... so now I have to wait for ever for it to come out and then reach the same place I was at before I can find out what happend. Dang it!

Anyway, night.
