Whats I"m Up To

I win, I win, I don't lose, I win

It seems the war over me getting Hot Chocolate easily has been won...by me or just is in a stalemate. Two days in a row the Hot Chocolate machine that gave me trouble a while ago has worked properly. Its curious, makes me think its planning something, or maybe poison! But I digress.

I was looking around at some AnimeInfo sites, and my favorite composer has been doing some more recent stuff, shows I could have seen but just never decided to watch but now that I know Yoko Kanno has been doing the music for Wolf's Rain and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, I'll have to give them more serious watches. I mean she wouldn't do music for a bad anime...I don't believe it! Or if the shows are ass I'll prolly just download the music, cause well her music is the awesome.

Oh yeah I finished reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and that was thumping good read. I can't wait to see the movie version the cast looks awesome, if they can keep the same people playing the same roles for all the movies...well that'll be awesome. Thats all for me i'm off.

I know I've said it before

I've prolly said stuff like this thousands of times on here, but mad I'm so bad about updating. Plenty of stuff I wanna say, no time to say it, plus I swear whenever I do start a post, I end up clicking on a website to confirm some information and then bam it loads in the same window I was typing in and then everything I wrote is gone...you don't even know how much that has happened lately....really makes me mad.

Lately I've just been thinking I gotta make a new website, I need a new project really bad. To get me motavated about something again get the old designing juices flowing. Try out some new stuff, and put the old to the test. Please drop a comment if you have an idea for me just can't think of anything that I think would be a good idea. Maybe even some kind of group site, something I could make and bunch of us contribute to. Just something new and fun.I feel so worn out and dried up for ideas lately. Need something where people say "Hey mike is that done yet I can't wait till thats done". Cause I remember when the idea came to me for this design I had it ready to go in like 2 days total. Obviously I tweaked it from there. But still the site worked and i had it all done fast cause I was so primed about it.

Plans have started to form for a New Years Party at Matt's house. Catherine, Matt, and myself had a fun discussion about stuff to do, food we could make or get.

I've been redo-ing my room a bit thowing a lot of stuff out, retiring lots of figures, thining them out, keeping the new ones or just the extra nifty ones. Next step I might take down some posters, change up the rotation perhaps.

Lets see, I know I'm like the only who cares but they Dadedevil: Director's Cut finally came out after all these years. And it was good. I liked the original but felt it was missing something, this movie has what was missing, the drama, inparticular the dramatic pauses, and some actual lawyering going on that was ok, kinda funny in some parts. You see where it diverges from the theatrical release, and totally changes the story. This was going to be the original cut, but they thought it was too long or whatever. More DD, more Kingpin, and even a few cuss words. If this movie was released it would have done so much better, and rated R.

Work hasn't been that bad lately been jokin around with the guys more, work is actually tolerable at the moment. And we're so close to having the dipshit fired after all his screw-ups. Plus after a while of trying I finally got my co-worker Hino's website to work. He runs a nifty as heck anime site, where you can download episodes, and they come down pretty fast. I've started watchin this show called Samurai Shamploo from him, has the same kind of feel as Cowboy Bebop, same designers, director, and animation studio. But its set in feudal japan, and like Cowboy Bebop had a country/folk music that set the tone for the series, this has a more Hip-Hop/Techno style to its music which amazingly has fit well with the show. Also bought this Japanese movie "Zatoichi: The Blind Swordsman" whoich was also set in feudal Japan, was pretty bad ass.

So yeah um in recap I need to post more, I'm messin with my room, check out http://www.katn-anime.com for some cool anime, and samurai are cool.
