Anime and rock music

For those who don't know, there is a classic series called Cowboy Bebop which has been one of the highest rated animated series ever. Shown in the year 1998, it lasted 26 episodes and spawned a film and one special. However it did not exactly end there. The plot: a wild, rash, powerful guy and his calmer and more thoughtful friend travel together. Along the way they meet a young girl, and the series continues with the girl repeatedly getting kidnapped and requiring the guys to save her. The series is relatively episodic with a big resolution at the end. There is also a very funny episode involving shrooms. If this sounds familiar it's because that is also the plot of Samurai Champloo. The unoriginal creator pretty much remade the whole series in a different setting with new art design. What a noob.

While watching Kanon (2006) the other day, one particular character who was a plain bitch suddenly turned nice and cute. I was confused by the sudden deep personality change. So to the MAL forums I went. I swear, every second comment said: she is so gonna die. Why must Key do this? Does being a likeable character result in instant death? I'm now too unmotivated to watch a show bound to end in everyone dying. Warn me of any such shows in the future.

I found this pretty good quiz involving rock music knowledge. I was surprised by the amount of metal/heavy rock involved. But I only got 11. What a fail.

Horror driving and facebook

So yesterday I went to the gym with Pop and drove into a wall trying to park my car. Then at night on the way back from tutoring, I fell asleep at a red light. I heard a beep and instinctively accelerated almost totalling my car. Lol.

While being really bored I bummed around on Facebook and found this. That. Is. Epic.

Anyways, back to DoTA training, must take down 'him'.

Holiday at Nelson Bay

So overall my holiday was ridiculously boring since I've been there and done that. By that I mean I went to Nelson Bay in 2008 and pretty much did everything in the surrounding 10 km. So I ended up doing growth and decay, watched 10 hours of TV a day and chillaxed. Saw a lot of weird people who looked shall we say 'siblings and cousins at the same time'. Also the food was ridiculously expensive, but considering the low number of customers, that's not surprising.

Here is a general bill of my food costs:

Sexy ass Gourmet burger - 15.50
Ice tea - 3.50
Hawaiian Pizza - 20.00
Dodgy ass burger meal - 9.90
Pad thai - 15.30
Spaghetti and meatballs - 18.00
Milk, bread, etc. ~15.00

Apart from the pizza and breakfast materials, I pretty much soloed 70 bucks of food in 2 and a half days. Now that I earn my own cash, I suddenly realised how much of a rip it is to eat. So eat as much you can while your parents are shouting, save some stuff for the winter if you must.

Here's a short video that I filmed half awake at 7 am.

And here are some random pics.
Forget double rainbow, CARPET RAINBOW!!!!













OMG a shower with one tap! That's right! Just sin 90 number of taps!!!












My sister's racist cheese.













Anyways, that's about it for my beach side holiday post. Be ready for my 'omg chem was so shit' post.

Holidays and Netcafes

So for the next four days I'll be studying by the beach. Hopefully I'll actually get some work done. I'll also be trying to drive for two and half hours without crashing, so wish me luck.

The other day Scene tried to coin the word "Downdar" which is similar to a Gaydar but for Downs syndrome. I won't be surprised if that catches on.

Hopefully I'll be seeing lots of people at RvB, and not too many 'tards, but first we got a chemistry excursion. Yayz.

Happy holidays everyone, may these not be my last words. Although if I do crash tomorrow, here are my last words: How do you get Charizards onto a bus? You poke 'em on.

Copying blogs

Taking a page out of another blogger's book, I recently watched some really good movies. Se7en and Kill Bill Volume 1 are two great movies. Seven is a crime thriller involving the seven deadly sins with some really ingenious methods of killing. While Kill Bill is a hot and awesome action film about hot chicks cutting the limbs off of henchmen.

For those who like a short racing game: Formula Racer is a nice easy and relatively fun game.

Onto more random stuff, you know when you say that long string of niceties and farewells, but turns out you aren't leaving yet? This happened the other day when I said a long line of goodbyes, and found out that I was walking in the same direction. That was the most awkward 50m I've ever walked.

Finally, Gintama's heralded return has been relatively successful. With a MAL rating of 9.48 after just one episode, it looks to challenge some of the highest rated series in history. Can't wait to see the development. Wonder if we'll see SSJ Gintoki?
