Yeah, so I've been awol for the past week but I've got two good excuses for that. Well, I don't know if you can really count them as good excuses so much as good lame excuses but they were good enough for me to separate myself from the real world and enter two other different worlds at the same time. But before I elaborate further on the secret life I've treaded and left, there are some real world facts that I need to clear up first.
I can safely announce that all the pre-departure stuff have been settled and that just leaves me with departing and arriving in Oz safe and sound. The student visa, plane tickets, confirmation of enrolment, accepting an offer of placement in International House, and the little miscellaneous things to tie up are done. I feel like a huge weight has been cast off my shoulders and I can relax a little now. All I have to do and place my concerns on are the packing of stuff to lug over there and getting the credit exemptions for the Business Law and Management subjects. Oh, and also arrival services when I finally touch down. The dawning of all this has yet to overcome me but when it does, be sure to watch this space on that moment of realization to be materialized in condensed literal form.
Alright now. Confessions abound. The dormant fangirlism in me awoke when the youngest brother sneakily introduced me to this anime called 'Bleach' which got me kind of (which could be the understatement of the year for me so far) addicted to it. I promised myself I wouldn't go and get myself too into another anime show again after Yami, Kenshin, and a few others but of course the secret anime fangirl in me could never pry my own self away from my number one guilty pleasure. At first I thought I might get away with just watching a few episodes without getting too caught up in it but eventually I was soon trapped in the evil Bleach web. The whole love-hate relationship I have with anime can seriously deteriorate my hold on reality in time. But I have no intention of severing my ties with anime just yet.
So what do I think of it? Well, it's obvious isn't it. I love it but not so much as to say that it's my ultimate favourite show yet but it is in the top five. That title still belongs to Kenshin. Another orange-haired, sword-weilding character. Action-packed, hilarious, silly, irreverent, sometimes touching, and filled to the brim with stereotypical anime caricatures. There're the serious-calm-collected-cold one, four-eyes and sarcastic one, brash-loud-reckless one, well-endowed in the chest area (busty if you know what I mean) one, the red-headed one, (there always seems to be a redhead in every show) the intellectual one, happy-go-lucky-and-constantly-cheery one, and of course the main protagonist who everyone can't help but like even though he or she may not be the best one out of the lot.
I just realized I didn't really talk about the plot and stuff yet. But I'll leave it to you to find out for yourself why don't you. Keywords are Kurosaki Ichigo, Kuchiki, Shinigami, Hollow, Zanpaku-to, and Soul Society. Now currently awaiting any future manga-to-anime episodes to surface in the Bittorrent realm because I absolutely abhor filler episodes and think that they are the most evil of things to befall the entire television series community.
Now on to the next not-so-very guilty pleasure. 'Point Pleasant' is a good show. Interesting plot, pretty looking characters, cool background but obviously there's a downside to this all. The main plot deals with the grand idea of ultimate good versus ultimate evil namely Christ against the anti-Christ which is the Devil. If it's too much for you just imagine a cross of the OC and Charmed and you've got Point Pleasant. But there's just a bit more of the Charmed elements in it than OC. If only it wasn't cancelled, it would have made a great show to continue watching. Ah well. That's television cencorship for you.
Anyway, that's all for the recap of the past week on what I've been up to. Being glued to my notebook screen really took up most of my time now, didn't it. My next foray into television la-la land again will be 'Nip/Tuck' season 3. The anticipation of getting my hands on the full season three DVD that I got my aunt to procure for me is getting to me. That void of Christian and Mcnamara will finally be filled again once more. I am such a telly geek.
I am feeling so educationally and academically retarded. The brain turning slowly to mash is getting to me. Someone quick, teach me something educational but what I'll never apply to daily life in the next ten years!
