A weekend slowly wasted…

Sunday, August 12th, 2012 at 10:36 pm

I got home Friday and: did the dishes, did my laundry, cleaned the hamster cage, moved some storage bins around…my Friday was super busy so that I could use the rest of the weekend to relax/work on my projects.

I actually didn’t end up working on anything, I didn’t work on kotobishoujo.com, I didn’t do photography…I just kinda lazied away the weekend with other things:

I read a crap load of Prince of Tennis manga…I think I read 10 volumes today. It’s really really interesting because starting Vol 21, it differs heavily from the anime (which was originally my only source of knowledge about this world). It’s also been great to see the poor art (from volume 1) evolve, issue by issue, into something phenomenal.

I purchased Persona 4: Arena [PS3] over the weekend. It’s an anime 2D fighter..like Guilty Gear or even Street Fighter. It’s beautiful…but while playing it, I decided that I would watch the Persona anime I just obtained a few weeks ago to get a back story on the characters and stuff. I’ve watched 8 episodes so far and plan to finish it soon.

I also finished watching the POS (piece of sh!t) X-Men Anime this weekend. That thing is awful: 6 X-Men (Cyclops, Storm, Beast, Wolverine, Emma Frost, and “Armor?”)…in one awful story…with a never heard of before hand villain, the U-Men. This thing, while some of it was visually interesting, was just terrible…I rewatch stuff all the time but I will never rewatch this crap again.

Anyways, it’s 27 minutes until I can start Breaking Bad so I think I’ll go watch some more Persona :)

I’ve spent a lot of time focusing on development and photography lately and…well, I don’t really like that. I want to keep up with my shows, my games, my manga. I have 1 month til the Zelda Symphony, I’d like to play and beat a Zelda game before then. And I want to start getting back into anime again…there are some good stories out there and I want to watch them :)
Next: Tekkaman Blade (which isn’t really all that good, but I have a childhood nostalgia, and an unfinished story to finish). Then…I don’t know! :)

Intelligence + Walter White

Thursday, August 9th, 2012 at 11:27 am

I had a conversation yesterday about how there’s nothing I respect more than intelligence. I don’t mean straight up book smart, just…the ability to learn and retain information. And I don’t mean a good memory either; also the ability to apply information.

I think this is one of the reasons I really like Breaking Bad. Walter White is a character I respect because he’s intelligent. Resourceful, creative, brilliant, and practical. I enjoy watching a character like that. Like House or Batman. Realistically intelligent (though maybe a tad unrealistic for the average person). But I enjoy watching him work. I enjoy how he handles situations because I imagine I’d like to handle them in the same way…

…until this season where he gets all arrogant (and I know arrogance) but he’s uncharacteristically too arrogant. Which I guess you can do if you’re unrivaled. If you’re Walter White and you beat everyone, there’s no one else to humble you.

Anyways, I’ll be sad to see Walter White as he meets his eventual demise. I think his own arrogance is his Achilles’ heel. Which is where I think they’d go…except you know, with Walter White…maybe he’s too smart to be beaten. That’s the ending I want. Because you’re unstoppable if you’re the smartest person around….unless you get taken down from within. Y’know, by cancer.

No, I’m NOT Warren Thomas Shea,

…accused killer of ‘vampire’ gigolo.

(that’s the extent I know of this case)

I just happen to have the same name (minus the middle name) of this guy.

I just noticed a spike in my site’s traffic the last few days and was wondering why.
