3.33pm
five campaigns down, finally.

playing online is a bitch because of all the noobs. sometimes i can't tell if they're noobs or griefers; how ridiculously badly they play.

sometime i'd even prefer the bots.

sometimes.

11.59pm
fourteen hours and one minute to go.

i just spent 50 bucks at kino today. i come home to find an email saying they've got a 20% christmas discount starting in three days.

so i finally made that library trip. planned to get a lift home from waileong. i got there at 10am. waileong's exam finished at 10pm. i seriously overestimated my time-wasting skills. mostly because i didn't have my computer.

thirteen hours and fifty nine minutes to go.

oh fuck

3.47pm
what a load of bullcrap
i'm still at home
i woke up at 2pm

okay, tomorrow. no school. better get to the library early before all the other people rushing to study. 10am. on the dot. righto.

so, i forgot to blog about this. last friday, went out for dinner with my father at raffles hotel. drove out the the city at dinnertime, on a friday night. oh boy, that'll be fun. still don't have my little triangles. 5 minutes in i realise i don't have my wallet, ergo, i don't have my liscense. we reach the city and see traffic police fucking everywhere. no, not fucking everywhere, you know what i mean. but anyway, apec's in town, traffic redirecting, confusion on the roads, wtf.
that was fun. the dinner was awesome, btw.

what am i wasting my hdd space and my life on

12.50am
so i'm watching this anime, kampfer. it's ranma and dnangel and dna2 but even trashier.

so there's guy A. who turns into girl A to take part in some stupid magical fighting tournament or some shit, who gives a shit. so, guy A turns into girl A. guy A likes girl B. girl B likes, read carefully, girl A. girl A joins guy A's school as a girl, somehow the remaining female population is also lesbian for him/her too. girl C, student president, cooks up a story about guy A and girl A going out. girl B catches guy A with girl D in compromising fell-down-on-top-of-each-other position, assumes guy A is cheating on girl A. vows to win girl A from guy A.

this is really trash. not even code geass-quality trash, which was high budget and meant to be trashy. this is just trash.

but i seem to be watching anime again. what other trash am i watching?

darker than black 2.
the reason i watched Léon. just replace jean reno with a chinese electric batman and natalie portman with a pink-haired magical girl who spawns a antiquated anti-tank rifle out of her necklace. and there's a talking flying squirrel. yup. oh, dtb. you used to be a decent, high-budget episodic anime with slick animation and interesting characters. well, okay, characters are still somewhat interesting, but mr protoganist has gone the way of pheonix wright and simon from ttgl, he's now a hobo. what's up with japan and hobos? like that annoying kid from mahoromatic too. worst ending ever. there must be some other way you can show Men in Despair, besides having them dress in rags and forget to shave.

a certain scientific railgun. seems to be word salad but it's thanks to being a spin-off from To aru majutsu no index, which translates to A certain magical index. the first one, which was one of the few anime in recent memory that i actually watched and enjoyed, was about ESP and shit and super broken superbosses with superpowers being beaten by kid with power-cancelling power. a carbon copy of mxo guy, may his soul rest in peace in cancelled-manga heaven. this new series takes a side character who was almost taking over the the whole show and gives her another series, with random side characters to form another formulaic quartet of schoolgirls. i'll still eat that shit up, though. first season got me. attach me to the characters and i'm stuck for life.

oh, and hellsing ova 5 and 6 popped up without me noticing. i say popped up, but it was in like half a year, and i just wasn't paying attention. anyway, way to piss me off, stopping right before seras goes apeshit. i've given up on getting that figure. sigh.

oh, and lastly. i forgot to blog on why i managed to start anime again. after being burned out on all the trash that's out there, i was worried i'd never be able to enjoy anime again. so i decided to go for something tested and true, and if i still couldn't enjoy that, then my brain was broken and i could delete all my hentai. i decided to watch ghibli. i still haven't watched howl's, so that was a place to start. and, lo and behold, it was awesome. not one of miyazaki's stronger works, his worst i've seen, in fact, but still miles ahead of anything else. breath of fresh air. then i watched ponyo, but i stopped halfway because i was in school doing a project on the side, and i didn't want anyone to see my crying little girly tears. i switched over to whisper of the heart, a lesser known ghibli film revolving around the song 'country road'. it was awesome too.

ah, country roads. heard it on the office, in a hilarious bit, but the song was still great. i've downloaded taylor swift, that's american country, it was cute. i've downloaded kate rusby thanks to gunnerkrigg, that's bristish folk, it was mindblowing. maybe i should look into stuff besides jap stuff once in a while, eh?

banjos are awesome.

here's the scene from the office. man, isn't that guy at the end just the worst? he should just get the hell out.

okay

9.39pm
i know when my exams are. i don't have much time.
i haven't done any work since thursday. i was going to start yesterday. then i was going to start today. instead i spent the day on the steam forums and wikipedia and other places. and i downloaded and watched Léon. strange how violence and pedophilia, which are so common in anime, seem a whole lot worse in a western setting.

so yeah. really. for the past two days i've slacked while trying to start studying. now i'm going to slack to the max and get it out of my system (ha, as if that ever works.)

tomorrow i'm going to wake up early, take a train down to bugis, and go to nlb and borrow the stupid books that i need to read. stupid design books. so fucking ex.

whaaaat

12.35pm
i wake up to find that l4d2 xbox 360 has been leaked. watching some guy's stream of him playing it.

oh, yuck

4.04pm
so free. i should study.
i went to school today to hand up my portfolio for sem 1. i decided to go to the library on the way back to borrow a book i need to read. i checked nlb's catalogue before i left, yay it's still Not On Loan at the bishan branch, like it was last night. i take the 1.5hr bus ride down, and reach the library. i go to the terminal to check the call number, and find out it's In Transit Awaiting Reservation or something. FUCK
this is just like that time i went to the nus library to borrow a book. only that time i checked the catalogue in my studio, and 10 minutes later it was missing when i got to the library.
kinda pissed.
so to make the trip not a big waste, i went and bought a bunch of snacks. more chips. i can't find tyrell's any more, that sucks. did i buy them at bishan last time? i can't remember.

l4d2 on tuesday at 2.
so gym freaks become tanks, emo chicks become witches, fatties become boomers, sporty types become hunters, smokers become dead from cancer. who becomes the new infected?
for the charge, most likely this guy.
seriously freaky.

and the jockey looks like richard simmons.

4.31pm
and this is the female boomer.

horrifying.
