Higashi no Eden - My Review

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us



Higashi no Eden, or Eden of the East in English, Is one of the most interesting and intriguing anime's that I have seen! The Director of this anime, also directed one well known anime; Ghost In The Shell, which of course, I happen to be a fan of. So that instantly helped it to gain a few marks.
On November 22, 2010 ten missiles strike Japan. However, this unprecedented terrorist act, later to be known as "Careless Monday," does not result in any apparent victims, and is soon forgotten by almost everyone. Then, 3 months later... Saki Morimi is a young woman currently in the United States of America on her graduation trip. But just when she is in front of the White House, Washington DC, she gets into trouble, and only the unexpected intervention of one of her fellow countrymen saves her. However, this man, who introduces himself as Akira Takizawa, is a complete mystery. He appears to have lost his memory. and he is stark naked, except for the gun he holds in one hand, and the mobile phone he's holding with the other hand. A phone that is charged with 8,200,000,000 yen in digital cash.

Kimi ni Todoke - My Review

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us



Last Week was the premier of the anime of Kimi ni Todoke. This is the anime adaptation of the manga with the same title.
This story is centred around a girl named Kuronuma Sawako who is nicknamed Sadako (ghost girl from "The Ring") by her classmates because of her scary face and demeanor. She greatly admires Kazehaya-kun from afar, he is "100% refreshing" and is able to draw in people with his personality. Unlike her facial expressions, she yearns to make friends and live as a normal student. Gradually, she starts to affect those around her, including Kazehaya-kun...

Geeze I'm so so bored

I mean I'm just sat at my PC waiting for my movies to finish converting so they can go onto my [url=http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronics/4-/8825953/Samsung-YP-P3-16GB-MP3-Player/Product.html]Samsung YP-P3 mp3 player[/url]. But I really have nothing to do... I can't watch anime while I wait because the programme I'm using to convert doesn't want WMP or WinAmp to be opened T_____T Plus its taking up a lot of memory to even do anything. So I can't work in Photoshop, as it just LAGGG like no man's business.

I got bored playing games on my DS Lite, I can't play on the Wii because it will be too noisy and I'm not really in the mood to play most of the games anyway. I can't watch a movie because the only DVD player I have happens to be the disc drive in my PC.. So no luck there. I can only watch 4 TV channels are they are always boring at this time of night. So no luck there either.

Even people in IRC channels are pretty quiet so nothing there to entertain me either. But just to top it off, I haven't heard from my bf/fiance for the past 7 hours so I can't even talk to him and I miss him as it is.

WHY IS THERE NOTHING TO DO BUT TO POST A BLOG ENTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh well, I guess I shouldn't really complain.. but that doesn't that it isn't annoying to be sooooooooooo bored T_____T

Painting In Photoshop

Well I'm going to try and do a better painting in photoshop this time. Working on an old photograph I've found. So I won't upset anyone if I disfigure the person really badly. The only problem I've found at the moment, is that the battery in my pen for my tablet is running out. The cursor keeps jumping around and its really annoying me. I've tried like 6 different batteries and they are all doing the same thing. I guess I'm just not allowed to draw.

So please keep a watch on my scrapbook upload's, as the steps of the image will most likely be placed in there.

With my website, the planned update will have to take a back seat for a while. I need to study for two exams and that is going to take priority at the moment. Well once I work out why I can't view things well in IE on opera. For some strange reason, the study info isn't showing up and its rather confusing.

Experiments

It seems that I've been able to get back into working in photoshop rather well. But thats because Photoshop Magazines seem to be helping. The ones I get really do help me a lot when it comes to idea's. I really would like to be able to design really cool interactive web sites when I'm happy when it comes to coding the site. Its just a little difficult when your trying to learn PHP and MySQL at the same time as CGI Perl, Visual InterDev6. I just wish I was able to hold information better. But I'm writing down as many notes as I can before my hand goes numb.

For those who are wondering how my designs are going, Please visit my gallery or my DeviantArt Page ^__^ I've yet to update my website at the moment as I've designed in a way that takes a little longer that it did previously.

Perplexing Instances

Perplexing Instances

Recently, I’ve been so bewildered by strange conversations with friend’s. I’ve never been able to hold many intense conversations about anything. Yet, it seems that some random conversations still have the tendency to alter into analytical, profound and insightful discussions. Yet when they do alter, it catches me off guard and surprisingly, it’s morphed into talking about my troubles. I don’t mind talking about myself, only on rare occasions. But when it does come to talking about me, paranoia emerges and I wonder what other’s true intentions are. Of course, I do not, by no mean’s, mean it to be offensive. Its just I have a very cautious nature that can sometimes get in the way when I deal with people whom I do not know.

When it comes to making entries such as this, then it isn’t too much of a problem, due to the fact that not many people will read it and that’s fine by me. A blog entry is meant to inform the reader more about the writer and display some mannerisms and characteristics. Otherwise, how else is an online persona going to be created? Of course there are different levels of an online persona, to which I don’t want to go into but hopefully the context has been put across. I will say that there isn’t any difference between my online persona and the ‘me’ in real life. I don’t really see the point of pretending to be someone your not. I wouldn’t do it in real life, so why should I do so online? It might be easier to hide behind a monitor and take a role of someone who is the opposite of who you truly are. But where is the point? Is it really right to seek acceptance that way?

Reverting back to the topic of the entry of perplexing instances, I found myself in a situation on IRC (Internet Relay Chat) where I had three of my friends there supporting me through about something that I was shocked to see we were talking about. It was about my abase nature and its something I don’t talk much about because everyone who talks to me about it fails to see why I am abase. Instead they focus on telling me what I should be doing. But that just gets stretched as I’ve told many people before about past situations and then about time’s where I have tried to gain more confidence but failed.
