Sheesh Y’all, It’s More Than Just Anime
Hey, I’m still alive!
Taken with the horrible iPhone camera because I’m too lazy
And I’m back with my JLPT 2 results. No amazing stunts pulled off here, but still a decent 350/400. I almost hit the 90% mark which I wanted, just falling short by 10 marks.
I only read Bakuman and One Piece in Weekly Shounen Jump. There used to be Eyeshield 21, but not anymore. As there are only 2 manga series which I read in the publication, which is relatively little compared to what many others out there are reading, I never saw it as a “drug”, since I never saw myself as addicted to it. But, the year end holidays a couple of weeks back made me come to the realisation that I might be slightly addicted to it.
While most were enjoying themselves in the holiday mood, I had piles of assignments to battle through. I’m still battling on. The only things I was, and am looking forward to are guitar practice, releases by the bands I like, and new manga chapter release days. So, when the long WSJ break came, I became somewhat irritated when I found out I’d have to endure more than 2 weeks without any Bakuman or One Piece.
I gave up trying to diss K-ON! after I realised how much I suck at the guitar. Now, I don’t even give a hoot if there’s a second, third of fourth season, or how many people ravage the music instrument store for that Fender Jazz bass or Gibson Les Paul.
Here’s a cover of Island in the Sun that some guys from RIUVA and I did. Yeah, we sucked more than what the band did in the first episode of K-ON!.
Remember the time, not too long ago, when many went crazy over Mio and began raiding music instrument stores for her lefty bass? Some could afford the money to make their purchase, but many of the other (diehard) Mio fans could only stand by the sidelines, watching helpless as others obtain their Fender Jazz bass while all they can play is air guitar. That was pretty entertaining.
Then, I saw this.
Now, I’m sharing the emotions of the other poor Mio fans. I think it might be love at first sight, like how Yui reacted when she first saw Guitar in the store.
I have this habit of fast forwarding, skipping through parts of a show I’m watching. I think it has to do with my short attention span, but it does work wonders. For example, I can watch 2-3 episodes of Japanese drama, each nearly 40-50 minutes long, in just a single hour. I do the same for movies too, so a 90 minute movie can get cut down to 30 minutes.
