astillarIt seems like my workload is finally easing up. I actually have some idle time during the day now. I worked both this past Saturday and Sunday, so I feel justified in frittering away the time. There’s not much I can do to kill time in my office, but making cosplay spreadsheets is one such nerdy pursuit. Heck, I even watched some . I’m trying to get into some new series; two that I’m watching are Gurren Lagann and Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. I’ve only seen 3 eps of TTGL so far and I’m still waiting to get hooked. I haven’t seen anything original in that series yet; it reminds me of a lot of other stuff I’ve already seen. Of course it’s strongly similar to FLCL. I’m also reminded of Vandread in that both series suggest a connection between sex and battle, though TTGL is more blunt about it. I was also reminded of Martian Successor Nadesico too, since both series seem to embrace every mech anime cliché wholeheartedly, though TTGL lacks the clever self-awareness of MSN. Aside from those merits, it seems like a rather generic story. Maybe I’m a bit biased against this anime; I’ll admit that I like more science and realism from my sci-fi/mech stories. I’ll give TTGL a few more episodes before I throw in the towel.
As for Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei . . . oh man. That series seems dead-set on breaking the record for how much craziness can be crammed into 22 minutes. I made the mistake of taking it seriously while I watched the first episode, and nearly blew a brain gasket as a result. I don’t think I’ll be able to keep up with this series, with it’s large cast and fast-paced story-telling. After watching each episode I feel both triumphant that I’ve survived it and also scared that my brain has somehow been violated in an icky way.
I’m hoping that I don’t have to come in to the office this weekend. Oh, that’d be soo sweet. I’ve got such a big backlog of errands and other tasks that I’ve been neglecting for weeks. It’s hard to believe April’s already over. Yeah, just one month till A-kon. If I do get this weekend off, I need to make some serious progress on GIR.
I’ve got a new video card coming in the mail this weekend. I hope it fits. I kinda bought it on impulse after I discovered why my current one was crapping out all the time. But it was a good bargain and a significant upgrade. I was tempted to upgrade my monitor while I was at it, but I held back. I’m already supposed to be buying a washer & dryer this week anyways. Those are more important, but I want the monitor more.
I’ve also got some doctor and dentist appointments coming up. Not looking forward to those so much. I can’t quite dismiss the problems and ailments I have; it’s time to be a responsible adult and all that crap. Blah blah blah.
