  • ruffle raffle rofl?

    School has started again... can't say I'm thrilled but at least my Japanese class seems interesting thus far.  Other than that I also have an essay writing class, a class on John Milton, and a programming class.  Those are all driving me insane but I suppose that is to be expected.  The programming class will undoubtedly get better after we get out of the "this is a mouse, this is a monitor" phase of the class.  Also, I have had the teacher of the Milton class before and he usually makes it at least somewhat interesting to attend class.  Now the essay writing class on the other hand, the teacher is adept at making jokes that only he and a couple of other people in the class find amusing and, for reasons unknown to me, has really caused me a lot of stress in only two days of class. 

    I could honestly rant for many more paragraphs about school but I figure most people will be satisfied with the above dosage.  In other news I have been working on watching a lot of my stockpiled anime as usual.  I caught a bit of Gurren-Lagann on the Sci-Fi channel by chance a few weeks ago.  The voice acting is satisfactory in the English dubs but I hope to gawd the censorship that was present in the televised version is not present on the second run of the DVD release.  Granted, I won't have to worry about it because I am collecting the first release which is subtitle only, but it would be rather rantworthy if Bandai was to put out a censored version as the second release.  On top of that, there's this issue that Bandai is having with malfunctioning discs that is not at all pleasing to me.  Nothing worse than receiving a DVD that I ordered many months in advance in anticipation only to be stifled by its refusal to play in most, if not all, of my devices.

    You know, I wish Fanime was held twice a year.  Don't know where that came from lol.  But yeah, I've been kinda craving a convention lately -- and without JTAF to break up the wait for the next Fanime there's this urge to just raid the next comicbook con no matter whether it includes manga or not XD.  And while on the subject of Fanime, a few of my friends and myself are planning a cosplay skit for next year that should be mildly amusing.  We're having a bit of trouble coming up with the people to play the characters we need, but we've got plenty of time until next May to figure it out.  Well, that's enough rambling out of me.  I need to get back to my homework anyway ^^;; so till next time, PEACE~!
