and im spent...
morning folks. or evening or whatever.

this week as been...interesting...or at least the last couple of days have been.

work has been...well...work... bleah. lets just leave it at that.



Friday i went up to London to go to the U.S Embassy to get a J1 work visa so i can work in america this summer.
i tell ya, getting IN to the US Embassy is harder then ACTUALLY getting into America itself. but i finally got in, and the whole actual process took about 5 minutes (minus waiting times)

so anyways, i am now legally allowed to work in America. well, i will be when my Visa comes in.

after that i went and met my dad at his place of work and he showed me some cool places near where he worked. One of them was a Japanese Sweet shop, but not like Pocky...im talking about the proper traditional EXPENSIVE japanese sweets (Wagashi). they were really beautiful though, like miniture works of art. ^^

then i headed over to Forbidden Planet and Orbital Manga stores and picked up the following:

Evangelion Manga vol 10 (FINALLY!!! ITS BEEN SO LONG!!!)
Eva Angelic Days vol 4
Gundam SEED X ASTRAY vol 2
Gundam SEED DESTINY VOL 5 DVD (and i bought vol 4 yesterday in bromley ^^; )
Jinki Extend vol 1 dvd
Porco Rosso on DVD


and i JUST managed to stop myself from buying a Soul Of Chogokin "Gunbuster" toy that cost £160 english pounds. i was severely SEVERELY tempted though. i love Gunbuster, and this pretty much is the ultimate Gunbuster toy...

i also managed to pick up the Samurai Champloo OST too, so it was a pretty good day for anime and manga...im still waiting for Ecole Du Ciel vol 5 to be released though...


after that i went and watched "Curse of the Golden Flower" at the cinema. its by the guy who did "Hero" and "House of Flying Daggers"
I didnt like this one as much as the other two (did he do Crouching Tiger too? i cant remember).
the story was kinda...i dunno...desolate...there was all this fantastic colour and stuff but the whole story seemed grey and futile. But the special effects were STUNNING and the sheer ludicrousy (sp? is it even a word?) of it was kinda amusing. ^^

yesterday i went to a Kung Fu workshop, which was both fun and tiring.

over the past few days i've been having trouble with the net. firstly i had to reset the drivers on Midori for the wireless adaptor, an =d then yesterday the whole network went down cuz my ISP was doing work in the area...i got really really frustrated...i guess im more of a net addict then i thought... ^^;;;

well, i guess thats it from me. see ya guys later!


just to finish off, i would like to leave you with this thought (having read Eva vol 10 manga)




RRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




thank you
