A New Room, a New Outlook
So, as of Wednesday night Saitou and I finally have an on-campus apartment. Can you hear the celebration from here? It's nice, too, if a little icky. Kate-chan fixed that up real quick, she apparently likes cleaning and scrubbing, so while we moved our carloads of crap into the room, she cleaned it for us. ^_^x; The room itself is easily five or six square feet bigger than any other dorm room on campus, on top of have a small 'changing room' where the closets and dressers are at and a bathroom with a shower and a bathtub. In the main room we have a wall of cabinents, a sink, a full-size refridgerator and a stove. I am so pumped, this means we can make REAL FOOD whenever we feel like it. ^___^x;

My classes are going pretty well, too. Two of them I have with Doug, my advisor, as the teacher. He's awesome, I could listen to him speak for a long time without getting bored, but that comes from his years in 'the business.' Former radio DJs are ALWAYS interesting to listen to, my dad is a prime example of that. (Although, that also means that his 'you're in deep shit' voice is absolutely terrifying.)

I have Doug for Performance in Electronic Media, which basically takes the class through prep to be on the radio and/or TV. Although I'm not looking at my major to take me in those directions, having strong control of your voice in a business setting is an excellent skill to have.

I also have Doug for Cinema History II, which covers 1945 to the present. Basically, two days a week we watch a movie and learn how to critque it. So far we've watched '30 Seconds over Tokyo' (A Spencer Tracey film about the bombing of Japan during WWII) and 'The African Queen.' We've got a lot of good movies on our slate this semester, and one of them is Star Wars which makes me excited. I love watching Star Wars on the big screen, the Battle of Yavin makes me completely giddy. Dogfighting, ee!

Astronomy doesn't look like it will be too hard, the hardest part looks to be not falling asleep in class, and History will run the same way. Fortunately, at least in History, Jonathan is in that class, so he'll keep me awake.

Haven't really gotten/watched any new anime for a while. Meant to catch the dub of Fullmetal Alchemist Thursday night but I fell asleep right before 'Ready Steady Go'. ;_;x I'm sucking it up and downloading Bleach because I've heard there are some differences with the manga. I love the Bleach manga to death, so they better not be storyline-altering discrepancies like FMA. I'll get really pissed at the anime then (probably the way some of my friends are pissed at the FMA anime for not being true to the much different (and probably better, I'm so behind in reading it) manga.

So, yeah. I'm too lazy to make a thumbnail for you guys, but I colored the lineart in my gallery CG-wise... Ed's dogi turned out the color of Kenshin's. *facepalms* That really isn't my fault, the monitor that I was on in the lab showed me bright, bright red. That color... is not red. *sighs* Maybe I'll re-CG it, and do the background better.
