  Friend of the Devil

  Wow! Haven't done one of these in ages eh? Anywho I just want to say happy holidays to everyone. Hope you got the things you wanted and or needed during this holiday season. I don't know what I got yet (even though I usually ask for nothing because that's just how I am, I only asked for one thing because I'm broke) because my older sister won't be home till tomorrow so we're putting off Xmas till tomorrow.

  I guess an brief update is needed with the spreading of good will also being apart of this blog. I finished my college semester last week and have been home for a week. Haven't found my grades out yet but hopefully they'll be good. A 3.6 is wanted but we'll just see how it all ends up. When I get back I'm moving from my old room into a 6 person suite with my 5 friends which will be nice. Also praying now that my practicum (which is me going to a school and observing and helping out) is closer than it was last semester. Those drives kill my gas and being a poor college student doesn't help. They really should compensate you some gas money for that

  Been nothing but a lazy bum so far while home and my time has involved 360 (which hasn'[t been played in months) and some anime catching up. About to finish up my watching of Mobile Suit Victory Gundam, Darker than Black: Season 2 and my re-watch of Trigun. After that I plan on watching After War Gundam X, re-watch G Gundam, Gai-Rei Zero, School Days, Beck,, Ergo Proxy, Baccano! OVA, Lupin III: Part 2, and a whole bunch of other stuff. Granted most of it won't be touched or watched but wishful thinking is just that.

  Other than that I can't think of anything else. Before I head out of this though, it'd be nice if you guys read the newest review and news at the Anime Cafe. Namely being now is the recent review asian_pride and I did on the epic Mobile Suit Gundam. Give it a read, some hard work was put into it and other recent reviews such as gr33n's Sky Girl's review and updates on sales and such. So drop by, read some latest info and leave a friendly comment. Not just for me but for everyone there that puts the hard work in

  And members of the Naruto Union, be on the look out soon for 2 new events coming up very soon. Col's been busting her hump to organize these things so get ready to enjoy them. Besides that, happy holidays and have a happy new year because you probably won't see another blog from me till March

  The Chapter In Your Life Entitled *Insert Destination Here*

  Well the past few days have been days of firsts. This would be my first blog in months (sorry guys just don't find my life that interesting to update on a weekly or monthly basis hehe) I leveled up to 41 so I am now the awesome Thunder Force. I also broke the 11k post mark. And after five years of being here I finally changed my avatar from what I guess some like Imortal might describe as iconic from the The Traveling Wilburys Volume 1 album cover to that of the up and coming Live Anthology album coming out in November by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. So I'm sorry if the change of avatar scared the crap out of you and confused you like it did for Imortal. I can't wait for that to come out. 48 songs in the normal package and 65 in the deluxe which I will be sure to get because I'm a whore. It may not be the studio album i desperately want from the guys seeing as it's going on eight years without one but this will suffice for now.

  I'm glad now summer is over. Better looking prospects, hanging out with college friends and just being busy and occupied is making things a lot better than the dull summer I ended up having.

  I'm back at college now, week two of junior year and it's been going rather smoothly and lovely. Have had quite abit of reading and will have quite a few reflection and reaction essays to do but it shouldn't be too bad. If I can get past the linear algebra and some calculus that get's thrown my way in intermediate microeconomics then I should have another good GPA this semester but one can only hope. Won't worry about such things though for now because not at that road yet. But while at college and been hanging out in my friends' suite, I discovered Nazi Zombies and damn is it addicting. Highest we've gotten to as a team so far is level 19. Besides all those things, been looking for a job on campus and of course, nothing really available right now so being cheap right now is the way to go. But I did get refunded 330 dollars so that really helps seeing as before that all I had was 87 dollars to my name. But still need a job for some income so gonna keep looking. Tomorrow though I have orientation about my field placement for my Education major. I hope I found out what city and school I'll be placed at soon so I can start that and get the feel of what teaching will be like. But until then, I have free Fridays

  Anime wise, right now, Canaan is almost done and so is Saki and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzuimiya Season 2 should be just about done. I watched Baccano! before I came back to school but still need to watch the 3 episode OVA. Baccano was better than I thought it would be seeing as the first episode was just too over the chart but that's what you get when a show has 18 main characters. I thought it'd be a anime about the Mafia of the 1930s which would've been cool but that takes a back seat and is more just background noise for the story of magic and alchemy. Nonetheless it worked out in th end. I finished both seasons of Ghost In The Shell:SAC and the movie as well with it. Both seasons were amazing and fantastic. Other stuff I watched over the summer includes more Gundam stuff, Higurashi season 1 and 2, rewatched Evangelion and Outlaw Star and stuff I can't recall right now. I did just start Hellsing and am 3 episodes and man did they screw up a tale about vampires. It's like a B movie, it's cheesy and funny but nothing close to being great.

  Anyway that's all I can think of for now. If I have more I'll just edit it. Hope everyone that's back in school now does their damn work and doesn't complain about it too much goes it only gets worse? Maybe better, depends on your persepective.

  O and the title of this blog comes off as weird but it's from a Lucksmiths song called The Chapter In Your Life Entitled San Fransisco. They just broke up so guess it's a nice little sentiment.

  Camera Obscura

  Well been quite awhile since I blogged but truth be told I really don't have a reason to do so now. Nothing truly exciting going on in my life. Still can't get a job no matter where I apply or search and at this point with only about a month left of summer break it probably isn't even worth keeping up the hunt. This is something that's just aggravated me to no end. Because of no job I haven't been spending money at all really, pinching pennies like no tomorrow but good thing about it is I'm a pro at that. I did manage to get a hold of 2 movies though for really cheap. Lupin III: Island of Assassins for 3 dollars at FYE and The End of Evangelion for 10 at FYE. Was really shocked to see them had it and even though I didn't want to buy anything except the gift for my friend for his B-day, it was too good of an opportunity to pass up.

  In the way of anime watching, I finished watching Haibane Renmei, K-ON, Eden of the East, ZZ Gundam, Char's Counterattack, several different Lupin specials, re-watching 0080 War In the Pocket, and Noir since my last blog. All had their moments but Char's Counterattack and Haibane were really good and so were some of the Lupin specials accept Return of Pycal. Taking one of the best Lupin villains ever and making a really bad one hour OVA made me kind of sick inside. Doesn't help that the episode that he's in from the original 1971 Lupin show happens to be one of the most memorable episodes in anything I've ever seen but this OVA just did so many things wrong that it would take too long to rant about to show why.

  Other than that nothing much to say. I might go to the Wallflowers concert in Clifton Park this Tuesday God willing. And after that it might be the only highlight of summer. And of late I've got myself listening to this great Scottish Indie Folk group called Camera Obscura. Got a Belle and Sebastian style about them which is great to hear. I really right now just want to go back to college so I'm occupied and doing something productive because right now this boredom is killing me.

  Anyway happy 4th of July to everyone out there, enjoy it. I will cause the rents aren't home for the weekend so who knows what I'll be up to
