AMVs and Paradise
I did a bad thing last night and started on another Wolf's Rain AMV.

This is bad, mainly because I haven't finished an AMV in almost two years. The last one I made was to Wolf's Rain, too, sadly. I finished it the day after the fansub for episode 5 was released, so I felt all cool using footage from episode 5.

Me, been in the Wolf's Rain fandom long? Never! ^_^x

So, my last video For You, is one of my favorites but still needs a lot of work as far as AMVs go. I'm no where near anyone's level, but then again I make AMVs because I *like* AMVs. So if someone enjoys my video, then I'm happy. (And considering someone told me it's on their list of all-time favorite Wolf's Rain AMVs, it made my head swell up all pretty!)

So, working on another video. Maybe I'll actually finish it.

And working on the video makes me want to dredge up Tsukino Namida and work on it some more. I've come up with some interesting ideas for the plot that I want to play around with ... there's nothing like twisting around familiar characters to screw with people's heads.

Ack, I haven't finished nor updated the website since May. Nevermind the e-mail links are broken. *facepalm* Me, dig myself in a hole? Never!

Hm, I think I shall go upload more fanart!

---------------------

I write way too much. I've acknowledged this fact since the "Writing" folder on my hard drive hit over 5,000 files some time last year. I really don't ever seem to finish a story, either, and that's depressing.

Personally, most of my writing really isn't very good. I tend to go for the humor in things and that is evident in most stories. While I will write angst and romance, I tend to skip over those parts to get to the "fun" ... the fighting, and the humor. That's probably why most of my stories plod to a halt... I get all the "good stuff" out of the way and never feel like writing the rest.

Currently, I'm working on Prophecy, a story I started in high school. It belongs to the Pokemon fandom, and has a lot of good, strong characters in it. The problem lies in the 'villains' of the story, and their inherent... not-evil-ness. My bad guy is pretty damn bad, but he just isn't doing anything in the first draft of the story. I hope to actually stop stalling out on this sucker and actually finish it, because then I will have a bridgeway from one story (NextGen) to Falling Stars, and there's nothing like dark apocolyptic Pokemon fanfic to make a person happy.

Speaking of Dark Pokemon fanfic, who all out there has read Pokemon Master? Now that's a story that brings back memories, and has probably influnced every "dark" Pokemon fanfic I've ever started. (Contingency and Kitaku come boldly to mind, nevermind Falling Stars, which has a blatant homage in it anyway.)

---------------------

We're going to Pompilio's to eat tonight, since it's the Boy's 18th birthday and all. I haven't been there in years and years and years. And YEARS. Most of the evening will undoubtably be spent reminescing about the years my mother and cousin spent there.

It's incredible to believe that resteraunt used to be in my family. It was in a Tom Cruise movie! Of course, no one tells me these things, I found out by watching the movie. Nothing like pointing to scenes and going "I've been there. Oh! That's where we went on a field trip every year in elementary school! Hey, my great-uncle's resteraunt!"

Speaking of my cousin, must remember to smuggle picture of puppy to her.

---------------------

You know what's bad? When there's an add for a drug to make you taller on the top of your front page and the first thing that happens is Ed wakes up and screams "MINE NOW I WANT I WANT I WANT!!1!"

I need a fire hose and some new cages.

---------------------

Currently I'm watching Gundam Wing. I haven't watched the show since high school and, for the first time, I'm watching it in Japanese. I love the dub voice actors dearly but now I can see where people were coming from about the dub... the voices are grossly different. I like both the Japanese seiyuu and the English voice actors, though I think if I randomly yell "Takatori shi-ne!" again I'm going to get trampled.

I'm on the fifth episode and still I'm not hating Relena. Considering what contempt I hold her in, this is odd. I think it might be a case of the dub voice actor inflicting her lines wrong, because the dialogue has been similar in both languages, but in Japanese it seems to make more sense. Maybe I'm just crazy.

Also, I'm about six episodes away from finishing Asagiri no Miko. A cute show, but I don't think I'll ever watch it again.

Maybe at some point in the near future I'll have a comprehensive list of the anime I've seen.

Maybe.
