Critique

Well, I didn't think I could, but I did manage to finish and post the next chapter of my fanfic. I don't think it' as good as it could have been, but I've not had enough time to fully concentrate on it recently. It's one of those odd inbetweeny-episodes that bridges a gap and not much happens, and I had to introduce OtakuBot too. It's got humour still, but I need to plan the other chapters in more detail before I write them next time. I know roughly what I want to happen, I just want to get a better idea of how it all folds out. And I need to develop my climaxes, heh. Still, I'm pleased. I hope it also pleases ^_^

All Fall Down...

Egh, frustrating day. I couldn't wake up this morning no matter what I did. It took me about an hour and a half to haul myself out from under my duvet. Not that it mattered hugely- I do start at 12:45 today. I just don't like lying in bed for that long. In fact, I didn't start until 2:00pm today. I had to go in for 12:45 anyway because we might have been choriographing the Lobster Quadrille. As it turned out, we weren't. So I went around with Jeremy and Steve. I was really looking forward to getting RahXephon volume 2 on DVD today, but as it turned out Jeremy didn't want to go into town. And as he was driving I was taken along with him, so I didn't get to do any clothes shopping or library researchg either. That probably means I'll have to go into town tomorrow and not do what I was hoping to do. Fanfics will have to wait a day or two. Apologies to my avid fans, heh. One of our tutors collapsed in the Staff Room yesterday. He's a huge man (about 6'4"), for him to suddenly fall down is very serious. And aparrently it is very serious- he won't be back next week, and might not be the week after. On the upside, I'm actually doing alright myself. This post makes it sound like I'm in a really foul mood, but I'm doing alright. Improvisation was fun- we all lay down on the floor with our heads on someone else's stomach and one person laughed. I'm not sure how many people have ever put their heads on someone else's stomachs, but when they laugh, your head bobs up and down really oddly, which makes you laugh too. So the whole room (with the exception of some rather more miserable people) was in giggling fits by the time the exercise had finished. Hmm, I'm tired and need food. Back soon, I guess.

Why should I worry?

That was a song in Oliver and Company, it's just occurred to me. Anyway, as you could probably tell form the lack of updates I've been doing nothing special. Sunday went remarkably well for the most part, seeing as I managed to break through my writer's block and finish Chapter 6 of Dark Conflict. It makes me pleased, hehe. I was originally going to have a battle, but instead I thought a final explanation of the history would be nice, to sum up everything up to that point. Hence, Aidan has a moment ^_^; Apart from that I've been straining over an Outlaw Star RPG, trying to decide what my character should look like. I'm really tempted just to go with what I want, but I'm a little worried of becoming too predictable. As the title states, 'Why should I worry?'. I don't have to, really. It's just... I don't know. I don't feel right with anything else and I want it to be successful. Meh, I'll get over it. Today, I am mostly been spending money on DVDs. I was the very first customer in the Chichester MVC branch, and I bought the very first copy of X-Men 2 off the shelves ^____^ It looks really great- I can't wait to get on and watch the deleted scenes. I also bought RahXephon DVD 1, on a whim. I'd heard of the series before, and got even more interested when BabyGirl (an incredibly cool person, by the way) talked about it in her MyOtaku site. So, I shall have to watch that too. All that, sign up for Ben's RPG and finish my Music homework, which I thought was in for next week. God damnit. *wrings hands* A lot of things have been worrying me lately, although you might not think it. I guess it really is that easy to hide emotions on the Web. I don't do it on purpose, they just don't seem to strike me while I'm doing this. Um... yeah, should be alright. I just don't want to lose anything. On the plus side, I have figured out some [hopefully] hilarious new stuff for the next few chapters of the OtakuBoards fanfic. Stay tuned, heh.

Whoa...

o_O; Two films that have recently blown me away in some form or another: The Matrix Revolutions and End of Evangelion. TMR was in a good way, EoE was not really in a good way. SPOILERS AHEAD, FOLKS! Just thought I'd let you know... I'll start with The Matrix. The final installment of the saga, I actually already knew what was going to happen through reading the thread about it in the Movies, Music and TV forum. It was extremely well done, though, and would have been my favourite of the lot if they'd chosen a nicer person to be The Oracle. Somehow she just didn't seem to fit the part... but still, it was really amazing. It's had some very mixed reviews, but generally I'm easy to please when it comes to something like this. I'll probably be the same with The Return of the King. There's kind of a Neo/Jesus theme at the end, I noticed. It's not a criticism, just an observation. I'm glad Link, Morpheus, Seraph et al survived, at any rate. It would have been far too depressing if they'd all died. A few minor niggles, but in all a most enjoyable film, heh. Now for End of Evangelion. I bought this somewhat on the premise that I'd be able to interpret it as having a happy ending, which I fail to see anywhere. I think I join Shy in thinking that the series ending was better- at least then I could say with confidence that Shinji was happy that he'd finally overcome his problems. I even listened to the commentary, thinking that they'd be able to tell me what was going on... they seemed to make rather rude jokes throughout instead ^_^; which is welcome considering the dark nature of the film, but not quite what I was hoping for. Ah well... the animation's good, if nothing else. And Kaworu was in it, too ^_^ I like Kaworu. I wouldn't hold myself to saying that he and Shinji loved each other, but they would be very good together, heh. Anything else? Just my luck. I get to Portsmouth to get some Magician's Force. They had some in, but had since sold out. I did come away with two booster tins (Buster Blader and Dark Magician) and a Heavy Storm card, though. Which was nice (not to mention expensive). I'll have to go back on Thursday, I think. After I meet Ean if I'm able. I will have my Dark Paladin yet... Final Thought: Change is inevitable- it might be good, it might be bad. But it always comes and will almost always surprise you, no matter how much you prepare for it.

*shrugs*

Well, I no longer have music. Angelfire weren't very happy about remote linking. Which is odd, because I was led to believe as long as you had an index page it was alright. I guess because it was such a large file it created problems. And they're right to do it, really. It was a violation of the rules. Still, no great loss to me or them, I suppose- the just terminated my account and I'm left where I was before. I was just looking forward to having a little theme. Never mind. I guess I will be needing 'You Get to Burning' after all, hehe. Continuation Thanks to everyone who's read through my fic so far ^_^ I'm glad you like it. I'll be starting Chapter 2 today, if I can be sure I won't run out of jokes and everything. Not that I expect I will, I just want to keep as good a standard as I started off with. I can probably manage that, though ^_~ Thanks again ^_^ I really appreciate it.

Wow ^_^

I now have music on this site. You'll need RealPlayer to hear it, though. It was going to be a Midi file (which Kei very kindly found for me and I feel very ungrateful for not actually uploading it. *hugs Kei* Thank you, though ^_^), but after extensive bouts of psyching myself up for it I now have a track which I think defines me fairly well- it's from the Evangelion soundtrack: When I Find Peace of Mind. It's a rather large file though, which I apologise for. But if you've got a decent connection, you should be alright. I have a crap connection and I can still listen to it fairly well, heh. Many thanks to LazeChibi for all the HTML info, heh. Aside from that, not much has happened since when I last posted. I have another driving lesson tomorrow, which is handy. I've also done almost everything I meant to on my 'To Do' list, which I'm very proud of. I don't often get to do that. Anyways, off to finish the rest of the tasks.

Charts?

I might post my Top Ten anime themes, seeing as I have so many of them. But I have to think of ten that I like first o_o; It's so much work! I want to do a review thingy, so if anyone's interested in me doing any soundtrack critiques I'd be happy to. Um... I can't think of much else that's happened- Oh! I've posted my OB fanfic. Go see it now: OtakuBoards: Enter The Net. Nice stuff, hehe. There will be much more of those coming up, so keep you eyes peeled ^_^

Spit Bubbles- Better than Sex?

There is a reason for that title, as bizarre as it sounds. In Production today, before comtinuing blocking for Alice, we played a game of human noughts and crosses. Nine chairs were set out in a rough square and the group was divided into two halves, one group of noughts and one of crosses. Then, our tutor yelled out either 'Nought' or 'Cross' and one person from whichever group had to sit in a chair, looking like whatever their symbol was. It started off alright, but people were pretty much screaming at whoever ran into the wrong places (of which I was one) by the end of it >_<; Anyway, afterwards we started blocking. Steve (who plays the Mock Turtle) suggested we played traditional noughts and crosses in the back of his script. I though this'd be a good idea, so I mouthed 'Yeah', really enthusiastically. What I hadn't quite realised was the amount of saliva I had in my mouth. As I opened my gob, a phenomenal dome of spit exploded from the abyss inside. I've no idea why it was so funny, but we were laughing really hard for about ten minutes, trying not to disturb the scene. I'm still laughing now ^_^; No-one else had any idea what was so hilarious, heh. I've not laughed that hard in ages- it was a great feeling. I guess rehearsals do this to people ^_^;
