So at ASIC this past Thursday we watched the first few episodes of Outlaw Star and then Honey and Clover. Outlaw Star is fun, and relatively strange. The scene transitions consist of a gun being fired at the screen, which is really disorienting, particularly when gunfights are going on. Also just, kind of everything in general is really weird, but at the same time funny and fun. Totally 90's in any case, lol. As for Honey and Clover--YAY! The whole room was making noise just at the opening, mostly because, for those of you who have seen the show, the first opening is probably the strangest thing you will EVER see in your life. At least as anime openings go. All I can say is that it was probably Morita who made the opening. In any case, some people seemed to be thrown by the strangeness. And the cuteness (someone said they wanted to hit Hagu because she was too adorable, hahaha). I suppose it does take a few episodes to really get into it. Ah, but I love it. That show is so purely COLLEGE. And there aren't really any other shows I can think of that hit college so squarely on the head (the nail of college...I'm getting my metaphors mixed up). Lol, and this way we have a healthy balance of guns and fun and killing people in the first half and cuteness and romance in the second half.
First movie review is of Happy Accidents ( under the cut. )
So Friday night, Pat and I went to see Children of Men. Pat being "the boy" I mentioned in my last post. It was all very awesome; no awkward silences, since we both managed to fill things in, and we had a lot of questions to ask each other, since we don't know each other that well. We have a lot in common, a lot of the same interests. Right now I think of him as a friend, but who knows? We'll see where things go. He's a cool guy either way ^.^
Then yesterday, me, Julie and the others were gonna go see The Departed (Pat was gonna be there too), but we miscalculated the time. Also we had ordered Chinese food, and the damn place took about an hour and fifteen minutes to get our food to us. So that ended up not happening (Pat went, though, and says it was good). We ended up staying in and talking about a whole lot of stuff, and then we all watched Happy Accidents, (me for the second time), which they all liked. We also got a sixteen inch cookie from Confection Connection, which was wonderful. Lol, I got no homework done, which means I need to work hard today.
Earlier Saturday I also went and bought a new fish light for my fish tank. But it turns out that it's not the bulb that's the problem, the wiring in the hood is dead. And PetsMart doesn't sell replacements, goddamnit. I figure I'll either have to get a new hood online or get a whole new fish tank. Damn. Also stopped over in Barnes and Noble. Now that it's February, I can use my credit card in bookstores again (I promise my dad I wouldn't use it till February last November I think, because I was racking it up in bookstores). Picked up the latest manga--Bleach 17, D. Gray Man 4, Air Gear 3, and Busou Renkin 4. All very brilliant. I'm getting even more into Air Gear, which makes me really upset that the anime didn't live up to the manga's standards. Some of those tricks would have looked so damn cool. *sigh*
And now, lastly, the ( second movie review, on Children of Men. )
