The first week was so tiring! I'm so busy working with assignments and essays already, but it's that good kind of work that when you've finished it you feel really good inside and can enjoy everything.

I go home, use the computer for a bit, take a nap, watch a bit or hang with my family and friends and then work on homework. It's a great schedule and I'm acctually having a lot of fun so far.

Although just as a note, since I'm so busy I don't think I'll be posting much here anymore. Not to say I'm killing this blog, but FAT-W is getting a bit sad and I want to work that blog more, especially. I don't think I'm making much sense, but you'll hear more about this in future!

ALWIGHT. So a few days ago I came across a really pleasing manga, Hanashippanashi. It's a collection of supernatural short stories in everyday life. The artwork, I think, is really unique and has such raw beauty within the scenery and storytelling. Some stories end a little too open-endedly, but I think reading it was really worth it. While reading it I got really inspired for a few art pieces to do for next year. :3 If you like Mushishi or any of Miyazaki's works, I think you'd like it. :3

I am so sad Kim Sam Soon has ended. D: What am I going to look forward to now when I get home from school?

My sister and I are also almost through with Dirge of Cerberus (I went crazy and spent my birthday money on it). Vincent Valentine = love, and is also a total show off. Where is the YuffiexVincent love?! D8

I can't get myself to be excited about Bleach anymore, for some reason. I mean, even the anime's filler arc is soo much more interesting than Ichigo angsting out. Somebody needs to smack him hard and make him get over his hero complex. ....at least we get more Chad and Ishida action. D:

Re: Dirge of Cerberus:

(I am sticking this in an entry break because it is really stupid in retrospect.)

That is all.

I should have known when I wrote "I won't be posting here much" that I would end up posting two days in a row and breaking my whole study mood.

Adult Swim (Cartoon Network) has a page up for Bleach, airing this Saturday. You can watch a snip of the voice acting done in here (I also was able to catch one on tv one night) and I think it's pretty good. Am I the only one? A lot of people at the Bleach Forums seem to strongly dislike it, but I don't see why it's so bad.

I mean, it's not like it's One Piece. THAT was something to cry about.

It does sound quite different from the original Japanese voice cast, but I mean, isn't that to be expected? Of course the voices won't perfectly match their japanese counterpart. If anything I think the dub kind of refines their voices a bit and makes them sound more older and mature. Whether it's a bad thing or not I'd have to see the whole episode, but right now I think it's good. You really get the feel that it isn't quite targeted for a younger audience, and I think that was what the publishers were aiming at.

....don't talk to me about Dirge of Cerberus. My heart is broken. shelkexvincent?! but she's like 10 years old!!

Open your playlist, pick songs that start with each letter of your username and post it.

I am going to cheat and use my livejournal username because it is longer heheh. Maki is such a short word.

O - Over My Head, The Fray
R - Raised by Wolves, Voxtrot
A - Anyday, Ani DiFranco
N - Needle & Thread, Psapp
G - Go Byul, My Name is Kim Sam Soon OST
E - Elm, Yoko Kanno
A - A Certain Romance, Artic Monkeys
I - Inner Universe, Origa
D - Dead Disco, Metric

an afterthought: people should name more songs with the letter G or E.

I believe you should call me Doormat Maki from now on. or something. lhdka why am I so nice/am an idiot? Ulgklhad.

I pretty much have to do this group lab write-up all on my own (procedure, analysis, observation... thats like 3/5 things needed to do, and majority of stuff not done is pretty much given already by our teacher) ...plus yet another lab due tomorrow...

other things in life happened... (that clearly reinforce my idiocy and/or reminded me that people suck)

In other news, I hear a lot of clubs in our school are looking for people to design tshirts. I SOOO extreemly, seriously want to design for them but I don't know who to talk to and etc etc. Is my stuff even good enough?

hur. Who should I talk to about it...?

PS: Voxtrot has stolen my heart and soul. I love them so, so much. They are fabulous and I think everybody should love them too.

Bah! I'm having a really terrible week right now.

Though I don't normally check astrology websites, I went to one out of curiosity yesterday, and they tell me due to some sort of lunar eclipse the next few days are said to be terrible. And I feel it.

The digital camera I spent years saving up for got scratched the other day. Not the lens, but the lcd screen where you see the photo, right in the middle. It's not that big, but definitely something you can't ignore when taking a photo or something. I'm really sad, but I guess it's my fault for not having taken better care of it.

I failed my APES test. Failed. For sure. Out of all the questions, I only knew two of them with great certanty. I guessed on most of the questions; I did not even know what they were talking about. I am screwed and everybody knew it.

I'm really dissapointed in myself.


Hopefully tomorrow won't be as bad. x_x;
