2 more weeks of uni til study break and then exams! @_@ I’ve been
swamped with work these past few weeks and it’s so
stressful/tedious/annoying/frustrating/exasperating/annoying/annoying/annoying
it’s not funny! >_<

I’ve ‘managed’ to ’set aside’ some time to watch another anime,
though. =P That’s probably one of the reasons I don’t feel like doing
any work, lol. I started watching Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone
Complex on Veoh cuz I’ve heard lots of nice things about it, etc
etc…. and I actually find it quite interesting! The show used to
scare me cuz I read somewhere that the main character was a lesbian and
I thought they’d be showing ‘those type of things’, but it turned out
that was the manga and the anime’s like a totally different thing.
Plus, after watching quite a few episodes I realised just how similar
The Matrix trilogy was to it! Apparently the writers of TM were
influenced by GiTS, and here I was thinking most of the stuff they had
were original… =P Nyeh…

Best news of the week: my parents are coming this weekend!! ^_^ Even
though we see each other over the webcam every week, I’m really excited
about it cuz they’ll be bringing lots of yummy food and most
importantly, (apart from themselves, of course… XD) my Dad got me a
new iPod Video! I’m pretty stoked about that. He actually got a 30G one
for my Mum cuz he saw her carrying around her CD cases for line
dancing, and then he texted me, saying the price is pretty good and
would I like one? XD At first I declined cuz I already have a Mini, but
after I saw Mum’s on Skype I changed my mind. =P So yay for my Dad for
being so awesome! He ordered a black 80G for me and if things go well
it’ll be well on its way here soon! ^_^

That pretty much cheered me up from my weeks of ******* work and dullness… =)

First week of uni is almost over! I’ve been lucky enough to only have one lecture yesterday and today so I got home pretty early. I just had an Analytical Chemistry test, though. >_< It was ok… enough said… XD

Someone on the Namco Tales forum was telling us about this new anime called RomeoxJuliet and out of curiosity, I checked it out. One word: awesomeness. ^_^ I’m definitely not a fan of Shakespeare but an anime-version of R&J is just screaming for ppl to watch it! Apparently it started airing in April so that would make it relatively new. They changed a number of things in the show, though. The Capulet family was massacred by the Montagues to gain control over the whole city and Juliet was the sole survivor of the House. Fast foward 14 years later and you’ll probably know what’s gonna happen! It’s a little sad that pretty much everyone knows that they’re both going to die but so far everything looks promising and I can’t wait to watch more. ^_^

Benvolio & Romeo having afternoon tea… =P

  Anime-form Juliet rulez all other Juliets!!

Their House banners are just awesome…

Frolicking about in a field of irises… ^_^

I finally finished Xenosaga Episode III, after months of leaving it aside.
I still don’t get the whole story at all but there were some pretty interesting things in there about conspiracies, religion, politics, etc. I reckon the developers were downright bold about some things in the game, at times. There was another fight between KOS-MOS & T-elos (0_0 0_0 0_0); pure awesomeness again and they gave KOS-MOS a fitting farewell…. well, almost. ^_^

Random fact of the day: I’m going to eat a maple pecan strudel… tonight…
