Hello Snow

Its hard to believe that we're snowed in right now, and it's nearly March! So much for an early spring I guess...
I'm not complaining though! This means no class in the morning (I'm guessing)... and perhaps even some extra time on the move! The Uhaul was supposed to come tomorrow, but with all this snow, I can't imagine us trying to move all our furniture back and fourth from the truck. So yay :3

All the excitement ends there though, with this cold I've been fighting all week. I wouldn't call it a cold, more like a cold bordering the lines of the flu. I've been miserable for the past week! I'm sure this is all thanks to running through the night like a delinquent from a party that got busted last Friday. T__T Who knew a good time would end with my huddled in a ditch with 2 other friends, with only tank tops on because we had no time to grab our sweaters.
But it was worth it, it was a goodbye party for one my friends whose going off to Mexico to play soccer! I'll miss him so!

Oh when did this blog become a place where I talk about lowly things like anime?? Well...apparently it has. Lately I've been procrastinating on all homework like some sort of deluded geek to watch different shows I've always wanted to watch, but never had time. I finished Loveless last week. It was alright. I love me some yaoi now and then. I'm also in the middle of Lucky*Star, as well as becoming obsessed with Ouran High School Host Club <33333 Oh my goodness, I love it. How on earth could I have neglected to watch it all this time?

Oh my head is killing me, but I have much to say!

It's official! My friend and I are going to Coldplay in July! I'm quite enthused. She's more of a fan than I am, but after our trip to see Radiohead last summer, we made up our minds that going to see a Coldplay concert would be just as amazing! And when I heard they were going on tour, I jumped for some tickets! Should be fun...
I also just recently discovered a new program I'm thinking of taking next year! It's a study abroad program that goes to Hawaii for a month to do some environmental work! I am so stoked, there's no way I'm missing out on an opportunity like that!

The bright screen in front of me is not good for this headache.

Actually...

I have to take some of what I said in my last post back...

There CAN be some anime that are better suited for dubbing..... take for example, Lucky * Star!

I just started watching this, because I looove KyoAni and the characters are everywhere to be seen...I needed to check it out for myself. I started watching it in Japanese, and oh Lord...it's SO confusing, even with subs! So much conversation is going on, and it's hard to follow...if the subs aren't perfectly translated, you'll miss the whole point of what the characters are talking about! It was very frustrating.... so I thought, there's a dub of this, maybe I should take a peek at it.

And what do you know!!!

I actually prefer the dub better than the sub or the raw! D: I shocked myself. The VA's were great and the convos were WAY easier to comprehend.

Take a watch for yourself if you want:

LUCKY * STAR DUB

On to other matters..... I think I might just explode. I don't want to move!!! This is going to be a difficult transition. Moving from the house I lived in all through high school, and going to some strange new place a town over....

I'm having a hard time keeping up in school too. As I've said in previous posts, I'm only taking 2 classes...both writing classes so I could take a break from math and get my life back on track. But NO...journalism turns out to be the hardest class I've ever taken. It's like a job rather than a class!! I'm just not feeling it... I guess I can scratch Journalist off my list of possible careers.

I think I might have an opportunity to go to the Art Institute I wanted... but that would mean leaving college for a trade school. And the whole point of going to college is to get my Bachelors Degree and amount to something. T__T But if what I'm doing right now isn't fulfilling my ambitions, what good is it to keep going through all the motions like a robot for 3 more years to get a diploma?? And then end up empty handed in the end?

Why can't things be more simple?

I have to go through all my old stuff and organize for the move. I don't feel like it. I have to go to work at 5 also...yuck. And then I have a ton of homework to catch up with... And a huge pile of MEP parts to work on...And totally bummed that I didn't make it very far in a recent contest I was in! aaaah..

Much love

SUB ftw

Its true what they say. Dubs almost always ruin a good anime.

Now, I'm not one to boast about being a devoted anime watcher. For years now, I've been oblivious to the going ons of the anime world, and am very selective of the ones I HAVE kept up with.

But I have noticed, in nearly every subbed anime that I come to enjoy, that once the English dub is released, it changes my entire impression of that show. In so many terms, it ruins the once great show.

Its sad that professional English VA's cant be better...

That's why I'm absolutely terrified to see my precious Clannad dubbed this summer. I'll die if it turns out to be another Air TV incident! Or worse yet....some disaster like The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.....

Poor Haruhi....


So PLEASE ADV Films......don't ruin Clannad for us! Or at least make sure that Nagisa and Tomoya are properly cast, if nothing else.


Oh why am I rambling on about all this? I'm always so surprised to see so many people supporting dubs. Just watch in SUB, kids. I promise you, it will be worth your while.

You go through things too, right?

This move is about killing me. I didn't WANT to move in the first place! But my mother insists its a good idea...she's promised TV! Wow! (We don't usually have tv because it's a waste of money when we never even watch it in the first place)

But we will have to remodel this entire house from nearly the ground up....and it is going to be a huge task and I probably wont even be able to comprehend it.

MEANWHILE, I finally redesigned my entire room to the point of it's perfection...and I am sad to now be leaving it. Life wants to throw me.

I have a very hard time dealing with change. How will this go down?



Well, I must think of the alternative. I will be leaving off to a university (hoping) in a year or so...and that would mean leaving home anyway....so this is really just a head start.



Mustn't let the world stop.
