I’m assuming the extra exclamation point was intentional

So I finally watched the first episodes subbed on K-ON!!. Only once I actually watched the raw, which was like four hours ago, did I realize that to distinguish it from the first season they added an extra exclamation point. My memory isn’t the best regarding the manga, but I’m pretty sure they skipped some stuff, pretty much the rest of the stuff that happened in their second year and it started off with the girls in their third year (Azusa in second). From the previews it looks like they’re going to find Sawako-sensei’s old guitar and go through that chapter. I don’t remember where that chapter was sequentially, but I do remember reading it.

Damn mornings

It’s actually not morning, it’s almost ten at night, and I’m going to go to bed very soon, because I’m tired. Because it’s yet another one of my 8AM days. And I was good, I got up even though it’s a holiday and most schools have it off except universities. I went to class even though the professor wasn’t there today nor is she going to be there Wednesday and so a grad student was lecturing. I wasn’t like half 1/3 of the class (possible more? It was pretty empty) who decided to skip. I went. I didn’t fall asleep in class. Then I went to another class. And I had a small break, during which I studied for Japanese. And then I went to class again, and sat by these really annoying people who don’t know how to shut the hell up. And then I went to Japanese, and then I came back to the dorm. And I only messed around on the computer for like 15 minutes. And then I played Wii for like ten minutes. And then I actually got started on school stuff. I tried the chapter four quiz for o-chem, even though we haven’t gone over all the stuff. And hopefully I can find the motivation to go in Wednesday to the TA hours so I can get the answers to the quiz. And then I watched one episode of anime, and then ate dinner (which I will get to later) and then I took a small break and played Pokemon Yellow, and then I got bored with that and finished reading volume 17 of FMA because I’ve been on it for weeks, and then I started working on my lab report, and I finished it. I usually don’t even start lab reports until the night before, but I’m all done with this one and it isn’t due until Thursday morning. I even got started on my second one and hopefully will find the motivation to finish it this week so I can get it done with.

So…I just finished watching episode 1 of the FMA: B dub. And…I guess it wasn’t too bad. Although before the episode even started I shuddered, because they cut the damn OP, and the ED as well. I love the OP. It’s like the best OP of both the series. And the animation is amazing. They very poorly cut out some animation that hints towards later in the show, how stupid. And jeez was it poorly cut. The ED wasn’t as obvious, unless you’ve seen the full one. And I don’t even get why they did it. For the first series they played the full OP (although they only used two of the OPs when it aired on TV). They better not try to pull that crap later on.

ZOMG?!?!?

Note: The following will not make any sense unless you’ve read chapter 104.

I think someone needs to send out a SODF, save our distressed fans. This is one fangirl who shall be in a pit of anxiousness and despair until next month’s chapter of FMA. If you’ve read the latest chapter, you’d know. I never thought it would happen, I didn’t think he’d do it, but he did. And…I don’t even know how to put it into words. I read it this morning and still can’t figure out how to. It was just so…well, it was unexpected, but everyone knew that it was probably coming. I just really hope it can reversed. No, it has to be reversed! There’s no way…I mean, Riza, Scar, and Mei, plus the five sacrifices, are all in the big black ball. And then Lan Fan in unaccounted for, but considering the role she’s played in the story and the fact that she wasn’t shown, I have a feeling she’s going to be popping up at some point, possibly to do some super team up with Greed!Ling. Of course, they’re probably going to have to deal with Bradley and Pride. I’m doubtful Riza will be doing anything too impressive, considering her wound isn’t completely healed…but Scar, I have a feeling he’s going to do something big. And at this point in time I just don’t know how it’s going to end. I’ve always had theories, but after this I’m throwing everyone out. I never thought it would get that far. Although I’m going to have hope. It’s really just a matter of getting them back, since a person is made up of body, mind, and soul. Everyone still has the two, and for the time being they’re good. No no no, I don’t see Arakawa going down this route, I just don’t.

GAH! Olivier!! YOU MUST LIVE!!!

Stuck. And tired

Today, after two short weeks of school, began the first full week of classes. Apparently the guy Japanese professor teaches Mondays and Wednesdays. I thought the first day the female one said he taught two days, but last week he was only there on Wednesday. Makes sense now.

I feel like already I’m so behind on everything. I study every night, mostly for Japanese. I’ve taken the online quizzes for o-chem, or at least given a first attempt. Maybe it’s because I haven’t bothered with any physio yet. Or because I have an outline due in two days for my Japanese popular culture class and have no idea what to write it on. He gave very little on what we’re supposed to do, but it has to do with pop art in Japan, and we have to do a crapload of research for it, at least 6 academic sources. And then today he gave an example, aesthetics of Japanese cooking or food, but that was just because he was trying to point out how wouldn’t always find stuff directly on our topic. I have no clue how that has anything to do with pop art, but okay. Right now (and I don’t have much time to decide) I’m thinking either something on fashion, specifically Lolita, or something involving anime. Or censorship in manga, but I think that might be a bit too narrow a topic, considering a lot of the more gory manga never make it over to the US, which would make it hard to find stuff on it.

Hmm…

I’m bored right now, and I was thinking about what else but anime. And…I think I can actually list my favorite anime, in order.

1) Fullmetal Alchemist/Brotherhood (I don’t see any point in differentiating between them)
2) Clannad/~After Story (Again, not going to differentiate between the two seasons. They were both really good)
3) Kimi ni Todoke
4) K-ON! (Hopefully they don’t ruin the second season)
5) Toradora!

I just now noticed how Code Geass and Death Note were knocked off my top five. I don’t think anything will ever come around to knock FMA off the top, and probably not Clannad from the second spot. I think the thing with Kimi ni Todoke is how mellow it makes me, even though it’s not a completely mellow series. I blame Noto-san for it, her voice…it’s like, almost as amazing as Paku-san’s. Clannad there really aren’t any seiyuu that stand out to me, it’s more of the story.

Oh, it’s kind of late. I need to get studying again on my Japanese. I think I have ta-to down, and no, since its shape is really easy to remember, but na-ne not so much. I need to print out my notes for physio too.

It was supposed to rain all day today. It rained in the morning, for like a few hours. I’m pretty sure it was a few hours only because I kept waking up various times during the night, I was having trouble sleeping. I never heard any rain, not until I woke up in the morning. It’s supposed to rain all day tomorrow, and Thursday, and Friday I believe too. Let’s see if that actually happens.

I managed to finish two series this weekend, Romeo X Juliet and Tsubasa Chronicle. Stupid thing about TC is that I have to watch the second series to watch the end, because the first series ended kind of stupid. RXJ was just…well, it was starting to get a bit better with all the fighting, but then she pulled that crap at the end, so it just ended up sucking. I’m trying to finish all of the series I’m currently watching that are completed, which I’m nearly done with. Just need to finish Chi’s Sweet Home, although I do have a few on hold right now. I just want to focus on currently airing series, which include FMA: B, Axis Powers Hetalia, Darker than Black, Kobato and Nyan Koi. I believe that’s all of them. And then there are a couple new ones that I have on my plan to watch list which I figure I should start soon so I don’t have to take forever catching up on.

That’s right, it’s OLIVIER MILLA ARMSTRONG!! She’s finally coming, and the anime is therefore infinitely cooler. Because it’s Olivier, in all her glory and bad-assery. Buccaneer and Miles look awesome too. I’m just so frickin excited for the entire Briggs crew!!!!!

I like it how I turn out to be right
Posted by Amber on September 14th, 2009
Filed under: School

I won’t go completely into detail about why the title is true, but I’ll talk about school related stuff, kind of. So it’s taking forever for chapter 99 and episode 23 to come out, and I told myself that my week was going to suck until I read/watched those two things respectively. Well, it turned out true. I can’t completely remember everything, I can’t really remember much before noon, or before my last class. Let’s see, the most recent thing is I missed the first pre-pharmacy club meeting. I had it written down on my board, and I remembered this afternoon between classes. I was going to write a note on my computer so I wouldn’t forget, but I figured I wouldn’t. But two hours after it ended it dawned upon me that I missed it. And I was pissed. But I blame it on laundry. Sad thing is even looked at the time on my phone right when it said five and didn’t remember. Yeah, the laundry. So I went up to do laundry since I have Astronomy Club meeting tomorrow after classes so I wouldn’t be able to do it until later(and apparently I’m too lazy to do it in the morning, which I did last year and it was pure bliss because I was the only one doing it at the time) and it was pretty full. There were two washers open so I put my laundry in, and went back after approximately 35 minutes, although it takes 38 minutes but I went early in case someone else needed to use the washer. Well I went in and it was stuck 10 minutes. So I went to check it, then pushed the cycle I wanted again like it said to. Five minutes later it was still at ten minutes, so I checked to make sure it was mine (I have no clue why I did that) and then pushed it again. And I stood there this time waiting and it was still at ten minuted. I had no clue what the hell was wrong, but after about twenty minutes in the laundry room I got it to work, so then I had to stand there and wait for the ten minutes. And by that time all the dryers were full, but luckily one was done so I just put the blanket that was in it on top and put my stuff in. Then I came back to the dorm, then went back up to get it. There was nine minutes left. I stood there for a couple minutes, but then I was just sick of being in the hot laundry room, so I stopped it with seven minutes left and came back and was done with it. Except when putting it away I noticed the one pair of underwear I had in there was missing. So now I’m slightly paranoid and thinking that the reason my laundry was stuck at 10 minutes was because someone went in and took them and then didn’t close the door correctly when they opened it back up. I have no other explanation for it. And it was a pair I like. Luckily I only threw one thing in there. I’m pissed though. And also when I was walking back down after getting my laundry in the dryer (it actually happened as I was walking out of the laundry room) my stupid flip flop broke. I just starting wearing them too, because my blue ones have been worn so much there is nearly a hole in the sole. I experienced how bad this is because I nearly burned my feet walking back to the dorm Friday afternoon. I think I’ll just keep wearing them anyway since my grey ones are done, since I ride my bike nearly all the time. I swear something happened with the bike too today but I just can’t remember.
