at night...

[mood : regular
last song: the Brilliant Green - Ash Like Snow (Gundam 00 ending 2) -> sooooo goood :'(
last anime: Saikano #11
last J-drama: still nothing!]

Finally I'm up to date again with Stargate Atlantis. I've been letting them pile up in order to look at them together. I think I watched 17 eps from this [plus the last ep from last season] in about 4 days.

I always look on TV.com to see if the ep is a "to be continued" one or just a loose ep
I don't like to wait another week [or even more] to see how the story ends...
And now you must be wondering how I can keep up with animes like Bleach and Naruto :P
Let's just say they're tradition and their download days are written deep into my system :)

Anything else?
No... no... I don't think so...
Besides, it's 1AM and I'm typing this on my laptop in bed...
Better go to sleep...

P.S.
CHECK my current favourite song

the urge to...

[mood : regular
last song: Eluveitie's new album "Slania"
last anime: Witch Hunter Robin #23
last J-drama: still nothing!]

*sigh*

You know the feeling you're watching something and you really want to finish it right away?
Well I'm currently at ep #23 of Witch Hunter Robin and I really want to watch the last 3 eps now, but since I have to go to Japanese class tomorrow I guess I'd better go to bed because it's almost 1AM and I have to get up again at 4:45...

New Eluveitie album will be out this friday but I downloaded the promo already :D
It's a nice piece of work it is indeed :)

Guild Wars WIKI

I've been working on this all day so all 3+ of you people reading this from time to time should take a look at what I've been doing ;)
My user page on Guild Wars WIKI

I also picked up another serie: Terminator - The Sarah Conner Chronicles, which tells the story between Terminator 2 and Terminator 3
And if you haven't noticed, on the right side there has been another anime: Witch Hunter Robin

My mind is empty right now [or rather full with beer]

Mata ne!

Claymore

[mood : amazed
last song: Nightmare - Raison d'Etre (Claymore opening)
last anime: Claymore #26
last J-drama: someone recommend something... ]

I just finished an anime called Claymore [クレイモア if you want to practice japanese ;) ] and OMG it was amazing :O

Here's a summary from anidb:
| Long ago, Youma, shape changing demons, took human form to live in disguise in human towns, feeding on them in secret.

A secret, nameless society has discovered a way of implanting Youma flesh into humans to create hybrids powerful enough to defeat the Youma. A hybrid`s standard abilities include faster healing, limited shape modification, the ability to detect Youma and other hybrids, and
overall enhanced physical prowess allowing them to wield massive claymores, for which they are named: Claymores. For reasons not divulged, only women are selected to be Claymores. They are often chosen for implantation after being the sole survivors of a family attacked by a Youma; this ensures their loyalty and willingness to endure the painful hybridization process.
The society sends Claymores to towns that can afford their fees to kill Youma. The society is often strict and harsh; Claymores who break the rules risk being hunted down by their fellow warriors.

The story of Claymore follows the adventures of the beautiful warrior Claire, who fights demons while struggling to hold on to her own humanity.

Anyway it had a lot of action and a lot of females fighting with huge swords :)
Don't know when the last time was that I finished an anime within 3 days...

Japanese II!

[mood : psychiatristic
last song: Nanase Aikawa - LIE LIE LIE
last anime: D.Gray-Man #67
last J-drama: it's been a while :$ ]

Today Japanese II finally started again!
Only 10 people out of Japanese I have continued... SHAME ON THE REST OF YOU! :O
Anyway we had a review of the things we learned in Japanese I [try fitting 10 chapters, which took 12x3 hours, into 3 hours :O ]
I don't have to say that it was really exhausting, now do I?
It was good to see some of the people again though :)
We have the greatest class-atmosphere ever :)

See you next week people :P

2007/2008

[mood : historic!
last song: Nami Tamaki - Promise
last anime: Reideen #7
last J-drama: Fukigen Iyana Gene #7]

It has been quite a while since I last post. I'll try to give some nice things to read :)

December 13th was my birthday. Nothing special happened but I got some messages from people so I was happy enough. I didn't get much presents, but I did get some money [that's a normal birthday gift here, I guess]
My parents did want to pay for a part of the Iaito that I still have to order. It should be around 600 euro and it's a non-sharp katana [wouldn't want me losing any limbs or my head, now would we]

I went to eat at a Japanese restaurant with my fellow Japanese-Course students on December 18th and it was really great :) Only thing that wasn't so great was that the train I got on took waaaaaay to long to get me where I wanted to go. But hey, what can you expect of a train in the middle of the night...

On December 20th I bought a new computer. When I told the store clerk I wanted that pc, he asked me if I wanted to fly. Might be because it's a quad core [4 cpu's] and some other nice stuff. I also bought a widescreen with that so I now have a completely new set ready for a couple more years!

Christmas was the same as usual [2 days of eating]. Only nice thing was that my sister and her little daughter came from Spain to spend the winter holidays in Holland.

A few days after Christmas I finally got my package from Hong Kong containing 4 Gundams :D
You have to build them yourself and they're all done now that I'm writing this!

On 31st of December I went to the house of a gaming buddy [or Guild Wars Guildy if you prefer] to celebrate the new year
Lot of drinking and I met most of the active people I game with everyday online :P

If I remember correctly I had 3 things planned for the year 2007:
1) take a beginners course Iaido and see if I like it [DONE]
I'm still doing Iaido and I'm going to continue with it.
2) take the first course of Japanese [DONE]
the second course starts at the end of January and I already enrolled.
3) finish school [FAILED]
somehow everything that is school related fails. I must be a hopeless person...

And now we are in 2008. This year I'll try to
1) finish school
and please let me finish it for crying out loud!
2) go to Graspop and Wacken
It actally was on the to-do list for 2007 but thing went wrong and stuff. Graspop is TRADITION
3) get 30 GW titles
currently at 20 and a bit so it should be possible in 1 year
4) get more Japanese things :P

Yesterday I finally got my callendars!
I bought two because I didn't want to choose. So now my room has the lovely smile of Maki Horikita and the coolness of Naruto. Strange thing was that the package was sent December 5th, so it actually took more than a month to get here.
OSOI NE!

And finally today I received my Japanese CD's that were sent last week [shipment seems to have returned to normal]

Nami Tamaki - Winter Balades [a single... I actually thought she released a Christmas album]
Yui - From me to you [YUI is cool :P ]
Hight and Mighty Color - Singles Collection [I normally don't buy singles collections, but I'm collecting HaMC]

Feel free to comment on everything or scold me for not blogging sooner
I'll try to update more if my reader(s) [do I actually have more than 1?] request it

Time to sleep...
Oyasumi Nasai!

Wii :D

[mood : excited
last song: Merii - Japanese Modernist
last anime: D.Gray-Man #33
last J-drama: Gokusen #12 FINAL]

Today I got my package containing the Wii Zapper with Link's Crossbow training, so it's just in time for Sinterklaas [ which is today also ;) ]
The game is not all that special, but that zapper is really cool! Now I can finally play Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles with a gun! :P
I have been trying to unlock stuff by playing on hard mode, but ATM I only have the first 2 missions cleared with an S ranking...

Yesterday I had my last normal Japanese lesson for this course. Next week will be a review followed by a test, while the week after that we'll be having dinner in a Japanese restaurant in Utrecht. I think I'll try and learn as much words as possible, but I'm not really worried about the test...
