Maybe if I post now, no one will notice

kk, so liek, college is taking up all of my time at the moment, yarr. Haven't talked to high-school friends in a while, haven't talked to family in a while, etc. etc.

So, Dear Blog, I figured something out today. Actually a few things.

The first thing is, that I only actually post on my blog when I remember that I have one. It's an odd thing, really. I go through most of my life without realizing that I have a Facebook account, much less a blog. But whenever I do remember it, I figure that it would be a good idea to post something so that in like five years, I remember exactly what I was thinking!

So, Mr. 24-year old Andrew Prowse, that's what I figured out today.

(It's not weird to be talking to a future version of myself, right? People blog to their future selves all the time, right? It's normal, right? Right? Right~!? ;_;)

It's like a time capsule that you can just keep putting stuff into, but your parents don't get mad because of all the holes you dug in the back yard. I mean, no one really reads this blog, because if they did they would leave comments lololololol

...

Aaaaanyway, I started watching Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, and couldn't stop, and once I'm done, I'm probably going to watch it again, because it is that awesome. Well, maybe just the character introduction episodes, because they were the funniest. Ah well. At anime club(wtf do i keep going there), we were watching Chrno Crusade and it was all like lololol that bitch is CRAZY and stuff. I didn't vote for watching it but it was pretty cool, with the nun with guns, demons, and stuff. Then we watched Comic Party, and contrary to what I expected going into it, it was actually really funny. Parts of it hit home with me personally, so it cool. It's a nice mix between all-out comedy and weird moments of deep understanding that the main characters keep having.

I also finally made a taiko workshop. Nothing cleanses the soul more than wailing on giant Japanese drums for an hour. No, seriously, it was really fun. I felt really good afterwards.

So. That's the end of this entry. I'm going to NYC with the Japanese club tomorrow, so I'll be gone most of the day, not like anyone needs to know lololol

fffffffffff

The stupid TCNJ site won't let me confirm my attendance. Well, it will, but it doesn't appear to actually be going through the system. Maybe it's because we haven't paid for next semester's tuition+room+board yet... Even after I emailed the Records & Registration department, I didn't hear anything D:<

OKOKOKOK. Windows XP is back on my computer after a foolish switch back to Vista, an unsuccessful attempt to install XP, and short sojourn in Ubuntu. Linux was kind of fun, but none of my games ran on it, so I managed to get XP up and running. I did, however, partition the hard drive, so if I want to put Linux back on for some reason - I'm considering just allocating that space for XP atm - the option for dualboot is there.

Blah. I've been in sort of a depressing, bad mood lately, and it's only getting worse. This is the last week I'll be working at Shoprite, but that only means this will be the hardest week of all. Also, I've been tracing my bad mood back to my little brother time and time again, but I'm not about to go on a big rant about my own psychology at the moment. Suffice it to say that I'll be really glad to get back to school in two weeks. Yeah, move-in day is the Sunday after next, so.

In other news, I can't can't can't WAIT for SRWZ. In other other news, I started watching Bounen no Xamdou(great show so far... thanks for showing it to me Emperor :D).

Well, Sunday's the worst day of the week, I don't have much free time, so I'm grabbing what I can. Until next entry...

It's been a busy two months.

What with my part-time job at Shoprite and scattered summer festivities, I haven't had much of a chance to get a lot done. Most of my free time is being used hanging out with friends(lol, TF2) or playing video games(Tales of Destiny remake <3). I'm finding that this summer has been really different from past summers. Even barring the whole "part-time job" thing, it's been pretty bad. I've been at a serious loss of motivation, and I don't really want to do the things I normally want to do... I figure it's just summer doldrums getting to me. Whatever.

I found a neat JLPT study site, and have been going through the Level 4 material, finding that I could probably get the level 4 certification right now if I wanted to.

Programming-wise, instead of taking on huge projects, I've just been teaching myself new concepts, mostly threading and graphics programming(UGH) at the suggestion of Blacken, a FESSer who is the only person that I will ever genuinely hate on the Internet. The problem is that I respect his programming skills so much, but don't like the rest of him... XD

As a side-hobby, over the last couple of days I've taught myself XML and XLST. When I first started reading about the concept of XML, I was really impressed, so I decided to get into it. Who knows where that'll take me, but it's really good for data organization. Hundreds of tiny XML files and a few relatively small XLST files can make a huge, functional website... which is really neat :3

Drawing-wise, as always, I never see any improvement, nor can I come up with creative ideas very often. It's really been a slump. Today, though, I was looking up a few sites with drawing exercises, and I've been working on stimulating the right side of my brain - and finding that I was already able to use it pretty well; I just haven't been. On Monday(my next day off) I think I'm going to take out all my old drawings (there's a buttload, no seriously, dating years back) and group them into approximate time periods(it's not like any of them are dated), then critique them from a stranger's standpoint. This way, I can get a grip on how I've gotten over the years, as well as ascertain where I still need to improve.

(Deviantart? Why the hell would I sign up there? ...So I say, but the nagging suspicion that I'm going to in the future is there... No! No, I musn't do that, it's bad.)

Anyway. Work today, and tomorrow, so I'm not going to have very much free time. Only three more weeks, and then school starts again, which I've actually been looking forward to. I miss all my friends there :<

Until whenever, this is Darkslime, signing off.

And now for an attempt at a normal blog post

Well, I'm home from college, and unpacked(mostly), so things have slowed down quite a bit. I'm in the process of looking for a job, which may or may not turn out well... I also need to get my driver's license relatively soon, since I've been procrastinating in that respect for a long time now.

In the meantime, I've been watching Overman King Gainer, which is a mecha show Tomino-sama came up with. Wait! It's not one of the kill-em-all animes he's famous for... Quite the contrary, it's almost a comedy. The characters are very likable, the robot designs are very original(that's another word for weird, but in a good way), and unlike many other shows I've watched, I really want to keep coming back for more. Even though I'm only on episode 18 of 26, I'd recommend this to anyone into giant robot action - and maybe even to those who aren't, as well. Though the fight scenes are really cool, this series doesn't neglect character development. It's also extremely cool to think about the concept of the Exodus - dragging along HUGE CITY SECTORS cross-country to a new land. It's like the move west in America, except this is a move south, starting from Siberia, and replacing the little wagons with giant city blocks.

I've also been playing a hell of a lot of Mario Kart Wii, as well as hanging out with friends when their schedules are free. Personally, I didn't think I'd like MK Wii that much, but it's actually really fun... o_o

ANYWAY I'M DONE WRITAN THIS BLOG POST, SO I IS R GONNA SLEEP NAO. DID THE POST COME OUT GOOD, YOU THINK?
