Fall Break '08

It's been a while neh? Fall Break's almost here and I'm spent. Completely and totally exhausted...BUT I have a few things to look forward to! I'm watching "Vampire Host" aka Vampire Gigolo, live drama from an adaptation of a manga (what a name! gigolo? really?) and Why why love, a Taiwanese drama. Since I like putting up pics here you go!

昨日の私は、本当に楽しいことを私の友人コリと金です。私たちは、中国語モールやレストランのランチを食べた。金全体の旅行の写真がたくさんのカメラが不足して以来コリのバッテリとパスワードを忘れて自宅鉱山です。私でさえマギーはアイスクリームを食べると飲み物茂の世界市場からのいくつかのラムネです。後に私は私のiPodとインド音楽を聞いて、金総書記の車、 2人ともがっていたいくつかのダンスの動きを表示することです。ばつの悪いことは、これを行うにして公共のため、ただそれを最小限に保管します。しかし、とにかく楽しかったです。私たちも80の音楽に耳をいくつかだけでなく、いくつかのトルコ音楽です。以来彼らは町がない場合はしばらくの間、私がいなくて寂しくなることがたくさん！


Yesterday I had so much fun with my friend Kori and Kim. We went to the mall and ate at a Chinese restaurant for lunch. Throughout the entire trip Kim took lots of pictures since Kori's camera was low on battery and I forgot mine at home. I even got to eat ice cream at Maggie Moo's and drink some RAMUNE from the World Market. Later on I took my iPod and listened to Indian music in Kim's car, they both wanted me to show them some dance moves. It was embarrassing to do it in public, so I just kept it to a minimum. But it was fun anyway. We even listened to some 80's music, as well as some Turkish music. Since they won't be in town for a while, I'll miss them a lot!

夏...しかし、私は仕事...

クラスが終わった後、私はいつも退屈得るので、信じられないほどです。私はいつも最後まで滞在する読書毎晩のように昨晩、私は午前3時30分までです。それのクレイジー！ ！ ！ ！ばいいんだけど、映画か何かに行くことは今週です。ニース休憩からすれば、これを行うに何もないことです。 4ヶ月...男....のに長い時間がかかることはないのクラス...私いくつかの良い音楽を探す必要があります。それ以来しばらく私はいくつかの新しい音楽を聞いています。図面やプロジェクト....私何かを真剣に描かれていないような...と思うのに長い時間が約1年...

疲れた!!!!!!

私は非常に疲れて今すぐ...と決勝戦が目まいがすると私はすべてのものは実際に支援します。ページI just want to取得この学期完了です。しかし、私はそれだけではないのいずれか幸運をつかむため、私は今でも、今週末は、 12ページの研究論文を書いています。

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!!!!

ばかに記載さしないように絶えず活躍してきた人の悲しみを与えてくれた全体の学期とするかどうかも、同じ部屋になりたいと思う。寒さと思いやりのない彼は、彼の驚異と入力し、すべての少女たちはなぜ彼の利己的な態度左の彼...誰がいけないのでしょうか？私はただ、この夏のクラスが完了したらすぐに望んでいるので、私は彼とはあまり頻繁にしないのかを見て彼の胸が悪くなるまたは皮肉を込めて対処します。

New Drama

Nodame Cantabile

There's a wonderful new series that I just recently finished called Nodame Contabile. Thankfully it's Johnnies free and well let's just put it this way, it was so much more amazing because of it. I'm only a fan of Kamenashi-kun and that only barely. Neeeways, this drama is based on classical music and the story of two people who's very lives revolve around it. On the one hand there's Noda Megumi (aka Nodame) who loves to play piano for fun and has the unusal talent of remembering an entire score after hearing it just once. And of course, there's our unusal hero, who's a perfectionist, workaholic, and manical-to-be conductor. The chemistry between the two is absolutely amazing more so in the Live-Action drama than the anime, but overall the story is absolutely amazing. It's a great watch with all of it's crazy characters and Ueno Juri plays a wonderful Nodame with all of her quirks ^___^ I give a 10 out of 10!! Great drama worth watching, especially on a down day, cuz it'll cheer you right up >.<

PSS. The orchestra that orginally formed for the anime and possibly the live action series went on to become an official orchestra with the name Nodame Orchestra ^__^ The CD cover above is their work.

Rozen Maiden

This is what I love about my break! I can watch as many shows as I want! Here's one I finished yesterday, Rozen Maiden. Cute little dolls (my personal fave: Hinaichigo >.<) who fight each other to become the Alice who will get to meet their creater whom they call father. The story first came out in manga format that just finished this year in June 2007 with a total of eight volumes and was then adapted for the anime in 2004. Anywho, the story in the anime is obviously different from the story in the manga since the manga concluded after the ending of both seasons of the anime. Overall a great series and worth the watch. I'm including a brief synopsis of some of my fave characters ^_^

Shinku: she's not as gentle as she looks but she's a lady who doesn't tolerateof her servants slip ups.She has a really deep and caring personality especially for her medium Jun. She often gives amazing advice that comes in really handy. Overall she's the doll that the other dolls look up to.





Hinaichigo: just like her name says she loves
any strawberrys in practically everything. Her sweet
and caring nature gives her the smile and adorable
personality that makes even her enemies fall for
cuteness. She's really naieve and easily cries when
provoked. Out of all the dolls she's the most innocent
and is taken advantage of because of that.

Bored!!!!!! (~_~)

Demonbane (^__^)

This is definately not your regular anime, especially since it's based on so much American gothic literary influences like H.P. Lovecraft and others like Aleistor Crowley of England. I found it very interesting when one of the main characters' name was an arab name by Al Azif and her creator was Abdul Alhazred. I've never seen anything like it and after the end credits they explained the reason why. You'd have to watch it to believe it. Here's some info I got on just some of the many references made to Lovecraft's work:

Connections to HP Lovecraft in the Anime:
Miskatonic University is a fictional university in the fictional town of Arkham, Massachusetts created by HP Lovecraft, an author of horror from the early 20th century. The Necronomicon is also a creation of HP Lovecraft who used the book of forbidden and maddening knowledge in several of his short stories. [1]
Eps 1 "I AM PROVIDENCE" is named after a line in one of the letters HP Lovecraft had written during his life. In 1977 fans of Lovecraft had created a headstone to mark his burial place and on it they put the line from his letter "I AM PROVIDENCE."
Eps 3, Reanimator is likely supposed to be a play on Herbert West: Reanimator is a story written by Lovecraft.
Eps 4, "The Invaders" is also the name of a Cthulhu Mythos story by Henry Kuttner.
Eps 5, "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" is also a story of the same name by HP Lovecraft.
eps 9, "The Hunt" is also the name of a Cthulhu Mythos story by Henry Kuttner.
Eps 11 "The Return of the Sorcerer" would but a nod to Clark Ashton Smith's "The Return of the Sorcerer." Clark Ashton Smith was a correspondent of HP Lovecraft while he lived. In the story itself, the Necronomicon is quoted.
Eps 12, "Strange Eons" is a name taken from the book written by Robert Bloch of the same name. Bloch was a good friend of HP Lovecraft. Bloch is best known for the novel turned movie he wrote called... "Psycho." It references a line from the Necronomicon mentioned in several of Lovecraft's stories, "That is not dead which can eternal lie / And with strange aeons even death may die."
Al Azif's name is derived from the "Arabic" name of the Necronomicon, which is "Al Azif." And again, the Necronomicon is a fictional book created by HP Lovecraft.
Azrad's name was taken from the name of the author of the Necronomicon, Abdul Alhazred.

Working the last week....(>.<)

Ahh...there's nothing like working the last week before Christmas...but I'm so tired right now..After finishing my finals last week and getting my grades today, my whole body feels like it's ready to fall asleep (probably in the aftermath of serious amounts of stress release) gahhh. Neeways, other than the fact that my stomach is messed up and I have heartburn or that I'm bored to tears there's nothing else going on. In fact I don't know what to do over the Christmas break...I'll have ten days off and everything but what do I do during that time? I don't even know if I could bear to spend money on a retarted movie with a horrible storyline or just stay at home and watch T.V. which might have a slightly better storyline....choices choices...what to do? I'll probably start working on my courses for next semester and hope that everything turns out for the best...sheesh...so tired....can't think...random ranting.....*crashes*
