Feb. 8th, 2010 11:34 pmI'm still sick, or allergic to stuff, or whatever. Last night/this morning it felt like I had bathed in codeine (I'm allergic to codeine... it provokes an intense response, to say the least), but now I'm better. Just TIRED. And weak. Benadryl is nice though. It drugs the hell out of me.
Anyway, Recently, within the last three episodes or so, I've noticed that the drawing for Inuyasha: The Final Act has gotten weird. It didn't seem this weird when I first watched the show. I wonder why now? Either way, I'm so enjoying it! It's nearly done too. The anime is up through chapter 525 of the manga (out of 558), so not much more to go. Kinda sad, actually.
I'm actually having some success trying to finish some dramas for Drama K.O., but that's a separate post altogether.
Note: I feel no sympathy for you people down in the DC area :D
Last year we had over 50 inches of snow. In 2008 we had about the same. In 2007 I think we had more. On Wednesday they're predicting about a foot of snow. And since we're used to it here, rarely are things (school, work, etc) canceled. I do love Massachusetts, but man... I hate snow.
I do, however, feel sympathy for people who like in Alaska, or in the mountains out west, where they can receive over 300 inches of snow a year. That kinda makes me want to cry.

Kimi ga Nozomu Eien
Jan. 5th, 2010 01:59 amAs a random detour in my epic Inuyasha marathon, I watched all of Kimi ga Nozomu Eien, and enjoyed it intensely. It was one of those rare creatures: an anime that is truly meant for adults.
I tend to read/watch mostly shoujo, because it's cute, and adorable, and romantic. In general I shy away from shounen (or any male oriented types) because they don't appeal to me as much. Obviously there are exceptions. I love Inuyasha intensely, and I've watched enough Fullmetal Alchemist to enjoy it (and then there are the animes that are shoujo, but have the shounen element to them).
But the point is, most shoujo start to bore the hell out of me after awhile. The girls are generally SO stupid, and indecisive, and just ehhhhh. Eventually I just want to punch them.
I did have this issue with some parts of Kimi ga Nozomu Eien. Haruka bothered the hell out of me most of the time. I adored Mitsuki from the first moment, but sometimes even she bothered me (though I still don't understand why, apparently, a lot of people hate Mitsuki and adore Haruka. I figure it's a cultural thing).
BUT what I did love was the presentation of the relationships. Nothing was perfect, there was some violence (plot related of course), and OMG actual sex. Overall it was a VERY good anime.
I've recently been trying to find more adult oriented animes. I wish they had made Red River into an anime. That was a great manga, and like, exactly what I'm looking for in an anime. (Red River is forever known to me as the anime I bought soley for the fact that later volumes had a sticker on it that stated no one under 18 could buy it... which naturally means the story gets good)
Oh! I almost forgot to mention. I told my mother about my Korea trip today, and how I was thinking of going for 5 days, and she was all like "you should definitely stay longer"... Obviously my mom wants me to go faraway, and doesn't love me anymore ;P
I actually have thought about making a sidetrip to Taiwan for Chinese New Years, but that would involve traveling for three weeks, which I do not want to do.

Jan. 3rd, 2010 08:11 pmToday I went to an Asian food store, and I managed to get some of the things I enjoyed in Taiwan. I also finally tried an Apple Sidra. It's not bad (NOT BAAAAAD [which reminds me, I totally said "NICE BEAM" the other day at a store]), and reminds me a lot of apple soda I used to get in Germany. I'm actually not a big fan of soda at all. I like regular coke and fresca. That's it.
Anyway, the transition from Taiwan to home has been strange. It's a lot more difficult that I was expecting, and I miss Taiwan a lot more than I thought I would. Oh well. Nothing I can do about that now!
I am officially obsessed with Inuyasha. It periodically takes over my life (my media obsessions, whether it be Pirates, or Firefly etc, come and go), but it's a lot more intense this time! I'm currently making my way through over 180 episodes (well, currently 180, it's still increasing), and 558 chapters. PLUS fanfic (which is essential, because of all the UST).
I swear to God it's taking over my life. Right now my time consists of Big Bang, Inuyasha, freaking out over what to do with my life, planning my trip to Korea (which is creepily less than a month away...), the gym, and trying to stay warm in this horribly cold climate (another reason I miss Taiwan... the warmth and lack of wet slushiness everywhere I go). Also Big Bang.

Dec. 26th, 2009 06:12 pmI've been watching Inuyasha: The Final Act, and enjoying it quite immensely.
The interesting thing for me is that I'm watched it subbed now. I've never watched it subbed, and the voices, particularly Inuyasha's, are kinda freaking me out because I'm so used to hearing the english dubs.
Regardless, I'm flailing.
( Spoilers for the end of Inuyasha )
Recently I've been kinda obsessed with After School. I love the performance they did for the Music Bank Christmas special (which was awesome, btw!).
I have a massive girlcrush on Gahee. I understand why the Koreans love UEE, but still! IMO Gahee should be the most popular. Look at the girl!
She reminds me of Son Dam Bi, in that she's playing from the sexy angle, unlike, say, SNSD, who are going more for cute.

To make it more interesting; one using asian music, one using western music.
( Asian (mostly mandopop) music )
( western music )
I did NOTHING yesterday in regards to watching/reading stuff. I watched the latest (subbed) episode of Skip Beat today though. Sometime over this long weekend I want to finish The Rose, and get further on Tokyo Juliet. And maybe finish watching Vampire Knight Guilty. And the 10 or so chapters of Love Com I have left... *sigh* I kinda hate the entertainment backlog I have. Spending way WAY too much time reading fanfic will do that to you.
Speaking of fanfic, there's this one Inuyasha fic I've been following for years now. The author updates like every 3 to 4 months usually, but it's been nearly 6 months now! Meeehhh! I hate that. It's such a good story too!!
Possession by Wheezambu. Totally worth reading (but be warned, it's totally NC-17, with some non-con).
Anyone know of any good gokusen fic? I fear I've exhausted the supply. I'm rereading stuff now....
