lucky star

So I'm 3.5 eps. into Lucky Star and it's pretty good. Apparently a lot of people think it's the funniest anime ever, but so far I have to disagree. I can't believe just how much like Konata I am. Here's a brief rundown of some of the reasons why:

(1) Procrastination: (a) not studying until the very last minute; (b) cleaning when it's time to study; (c) taking a "break" from studying to watch anime/read manga/play games that lasts all day; (d) staying up late while taking a break and planning to get up early to finish, but sleeping late anyway.

This is me right now!

(2) General otaku characteristics: (a) (i) manga, (ii) anime, and (iii) games; (b) collecting related merchandise (like TCGs, but not playing them)

(3) Being late to or skipping class b/c of (2)(a)

(4) Being the most otaku-ish person I know


(5) Anime/Manga convention attendance (although I've only been to Anime Expo)

So, since I can relate at least to Konata so well, I like the anime so far.

minami-ke +

Well, I had forgotten just how shitting writing could be until I finished a paper that was due today. School blows. Finals are now only ~2.5wks away and I have yet to begin studying. fuck it, i'm too lazy to care.


Minami-ke is pretty funny, 5 eps. in, so I'll keep watching it. hmmm.... what else is there to say? damn. ah well, fuck it. just watch it, このヤロウー！！！　（＾.＾） (how you like the face? pretty nice, eh?)

hmm...

No posts for months, eh? Ah well, wtf - it's not like anyone's reading this anyway. So to catch nobody up on what I've been doing since watching Tenjou Tenge, here's a list:

• watched a shitload of anime
• Black Lagoon (pretty damn good)
• Boys Be (lame, but tolerable)
• Code Geass (this anime is the 5H122L3)
• ef - a tale of memories (~5 eps. so far, and ok)
  
• Ergo Proxy (very damn good)
• Gedo Senki (good, but not as good as it should be coming from Ghibli)
• Great Teacher Onizuka (aka GTO - pretty funny, but annoying at the same time)
• Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora : looking up at the half-moon (i really liked this)
  
• Hana Yori Dango (aka Boys Over Flowers - i thought it was good for a while, but the animation blows and the story gets incredibly annoying so i haven't finished the series - at about ep. 34
  
• Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto: Someday's Dreamers (this was ok)
• Murder Princess (pretty good, especially considering that it doesn't seem to be very popular)
• RahXephon (this was quite good; the storyline was much deeper than i expected, but it's unnecessarily convoluted at times)
• Yume de Aetara (the series totally blows, but the OVA is much better)
• Zombie Loan (what was that, Jonathan Davis? Oh, "FUCK ALL THAT BULLSHIT!!")
  
• read some manga
• keeping up w/ Berserk, but Miura's incredibly slow - not that i'm really complaining
• also keeping up w/ Naruto, but only b/c i get bored in class on Mondays
• Welcome to the NHK! (i'm going to have to post separately about this - it's the first time i've ever thought that the anime was better than the manga)
  
• worked on a paper for school (but only a little - it's due Friday, so it's crunch time)
  
• avoided doing my homework
• decided to spend a month studying law in Tokyo this summer
• had 14 interviews w/ law firms and got 1 offer for a summer job
• i was starting to feel like Godai (Maison Ikkoku) there for a while - it took like 6 wks after the interview to get an offer

So you can see I've been pretty busy.

But wait, I know you're dying to ask "wtf's changed so that you've suddenly decided to grace the internet w/ more of your pointless babbling?" Well, it's b/c I have that damn paper due in 5 days and finals start in 3 wks. Instead of doing what I should be doing, I'm avoiding it. Procrastination is what I'm best at, after all. (i wonder if those losers interviewing me could tell...)

I haven't been keeping up w/ Bleach (anime) since the fillers. It was just too disappointing.

I also finished Tales of the Abyss - that game is FUKC1N6BA|)@$$ (maybe not, but it's pretty damn good).

So, i'll prolly post moar sooner rather than later yo.

wtf is up w/ KFC?

So I thought it was just random when I found a Col. Sanders reference in the Ranma manga (w/ the Col. Sanders effect), but now I just found another reference in Negima. What the hell's going on. It seems that the mangakas all seem to think Col. Sanders is somehow connected to the supernatural (note the rumbling as Col. Sanders towers above the characters in the foreground). Anyone have any idea wtf is going on w/ this? I had KFC in Tokyo once, and it was fucking disgusting.


That said, it was not as bad as the baby sparrow on a stick I got outside Fushimi Inari in Kyoto. wtf? I know yakitori means 'grilled bird,' but come on.
