Oiya?
Out of the blue, dad calls and says he's 15 minutes away from Philly and he'll treat me to dinner.0_o;
Huh?
I'm confused.^^; And scared too, I think. I don't know dad very well at all and we don't see eye to eye on many things. Plus I think my Chinese has fallen to the depths of Hell and I can't form coherent sentences. Especially after the two midterms today. And WAY too many sunchips. Onaka ga itai..........@_@
...that's "my stomach hurts," for non-Japanese-understanding people.
I'm feeling kinda stupid, kinda mellow, really full (daaaaamn sunchips), kinda nervous (the dad thing), kinda lazy. I should be feeling more alert because I still have tons of stuff to do. But all I want to do is write fics or draw...and yet the only thing I'm doing is lazing around. I think I've lazed around since I came home at 3ish.
*urge to curse rising* I'm such a baka.0_o Where'd the time go...?
*sigh* All to reading those IY fics. Found a really great Kikyou and Inuyasha one (before she...er, kicked the bucket), and *gasp* friendship IY fics!!! That was so bloody amazing I kinda just gawked. Now if only those good Sesshoumaru and Rin fic peoples would update their stories....
Well, I think I'll go write my own, scan some pics, do some Japanese homework, and try to figure out what to say or where to eat when dad comes. It's raining outside.....
In a bad mood
.......where the @#$% is everyone?
God, I'm JEALOUS. This is so sad. Past the silly middle school years and still have silly middle school problems. Jealous. And there's not even a reason to be (well, not a mature reason). I am such a sad, sad person.
...*goes to listen to IY music and wish that someone's computer is fixed*
Because it's midnight so everything is calm, I'm left with thoughts. I remember reading a story where someone said it's not good to be alone because then you have too much time to think, and the stuff you come up with are never very positive. Dakara na, ima watashi no kimochi wa....sabishii.............
**edit** Feeling better now, at 3:18 AM, because I sketched hands. I will not say whose hands, but I will say that I've decided to call the pic "Chichi no Te." Probably only one person will get the hint because the rest of you don't know Japanese and if you do, don't know the series I'm talking about.^^; Daijoubu daijoubu (er..."that's ok, that's ok"), because come Friday I will probably be doing a massive update to my site, posting everything and maybe even reorganizing the art page into a better format. Stuff might (a big HUGE might) be posted to WS before Friday, but with two midterms looming over my shoulders...well, you'll understand if I don't post.^^;
And now, some studying before I retire.... **end edit**
Procrastinating
In lieu of working on my physics problems (there's a midterm this Friday) or reviewing my history notes (there's a midterm this Friday), I'm writing in here. But no worries, this will be short. *nod*
I love "One Day One Dream." OMG OMG OMG. It's the best IY OP so far, not only in terms of music but also in terms of the coherence of the credits. Previous to "One Day One Dream," the only song that was decent in composition (meaning credit sequences matched the beat of the song, flowed, had some kind of...unifying factor...) was the first OP: "Change the World." The credits for the following OPs rapidly disintegrated until we got to the mess that was "Grip." The song itself was ok, but man, the credits were just...I dunno, ALL over the place. It had no flow. It wasn't even particularly pretty.
But "One Day One Dream"'s credits were like, wow, classy! Actually classy! Granted there were still a few parts that were pretty pants (like Inu Yasha: "Watch me spin in mid-air before I land on this rock!"), and the ending, as pretty as it was, made a part of my mind pipe up, "So...guys, what exactly are you doing on a big pointy rock anyway?" However, most of it was...well, wait, now that I think about it there were a few other silly parts too... But you see, that's the point. It wasn't like this OP had stuff that was any less melodramatic than the earlier ones, they just managed to pull it together SO much more skillfully that it's not so cheesy anymore. The animation fit the mood of the song and the action going on matched both the words and the music. To be more specific, the translucent shots of Inu Yasha and Kagome, as well as Sango and Miroku, in the opening chords left me wanting to squeal like a fangirl. Breathtaking, breathtaking shots. (Inu Yasha slicing apart a tsunami with a quietly confident smirk was a surprisingly cool scene, surprising because he's falling into the overdone "I-am-a-hero-with-a-rockin'-sword- so-now-gawk-as-I-cut-up-WATER deal.^^)
I notice a distinct lack of Kouga.^^;;;; Guess they don't think he's very important, poor guy.^^;
Also have to mention that Kikyou's death, as well as Miroku's proposal to Sango, left me blubbering like a baby. Both the scenes were so well done, and the animation was GREAT (possessed Sango moved like a cat. Like the wind. Like she's got wings on her feet. Dang. And Miroku's blood actually dripped like blood and not like weird red smears, whoot!).0_o I wish they did all the episodes so beautifully. The background music (insert song in the case of Kikyou's death, and I CAN'T FIND THE DAMNED SONG AND I WANT IT I WANT IT I WANT ITTTTT!!!!! *PANT*) really enhanced the words of the characters and the seiyuu (voice actors/actresses) outdid themselves. IY anime has a talented, talented cast (if only they had a better script, sometimes @_@). Speaking of scripts, in these scenes they were faithful to the manga (almost word-for-word, though they added a few extra flashbacks for Kikyou's death), so there were no worries about bad lines or weird, vaguely OOC scenes!
...oops, this was supposed to be short.0_o; All I meant to say was that I loved "One Day One Dream"! *wails*
...just realized both my favorite IY openings ("Change the World" and "One Day One Dream," although the second one is much much much better) are sung by guys. Again. Don't say anything, Majo.
My blog is turning into an IY rambling page.^^;;;; But it's because I have no one else to talk to about this!;_; If I don't rant I'll explode! Or start jabbering to myself, which could be disturbing to my roommate, so....
Blog it is.^^; I'm still keeping up with sketch-a-day, though I sorta cheated because I keep working on the same "sketch" over the span of a few days, since I liked the ideas so much.^^;;; Still, proud of myself.
And now I will go a-studyin'. (WAI, "Kiss from a Rose" is playing! *feels inspired to work on her Sesshoumaru and Rin songfic!!!* NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *smacks self repeatedly*)
Ja na, minna.
