Ugh. Windshield got chipped, need to get it fixed ASAP...sigh.

Not motivated to blog recently for some reason. I will try to write more this weekend. Just two more days...I have enough of this week already.

Exam aftermath

Well it's been almost 10 days after my exams. Got two more weeks before school starts again. It will be hell, but I will get through it. It's too late to give up now. As I said, I just hope I passed both exams and got B in both courses.

Kiseki is almost done, except for the new license plates to arrive and the tint/alarm system. It will get done in time.

It feels good to not think about school or have school hang around my head. Although I skip most of my classes, I seem to think about it alot which worries me...well I get 2 weeks of that for now I guess.

Damage Control Update #3

(1) Get insurance figured out.
- Ongoing.
- Going to get back ~$9900 for a new car.
- Still need to get therapy issues figured out.
- Will get visit from an adjustor...sometime?!
- Need to get insurance for new car.

(2) Get new car?!
- Looks more like it now. I should have said "confirm that I need a new car". RIP Kiseki-chan. It's sad seeing her like that...sigh.
- Tough choices: Mitsubishi Eclipse GT-P? Honda Civic SI? Get a Celica again?
- Looking more and more likely to be a Celica again. Yellow GTS. Gunbatte yo!

The -END- of Air TV...

Just finished watching Air this morning...

Let's start with the good stuff:
- Misuzu "Gao~"
- Uses "family" as its theme (touching scenes at ep 11 + 12)
- Potato "Piko~ Pikori~ Pika~"
- Nice OP...no VERY nice OP
- Lovely BG music
- Sad, Misuzu dies at the end...
- Loneliness, Misuzu cannot get a friend...

The bad stuff:
- 13 eps = TOO SHORT
- Not enough time spent on the other 2 main characters (...Kano and Minagi I believe? Holy I still remember their names somehow --*)
- Kano and Minagi's eps are more like fillers than anything
- Misuzu-chin's hair got cut short, VERY short...MAJOR WTF (thou I know it shows that she went back to being a child, but still)
- Yukito disappears (ummm, he is the main charcter...hello?) in ep 9 and basically never appears again (except in recaps)
- NOT ENOUGH GAO. NOT ENOUGH MISUZU. NOT ENOUGH POTATO. NOT ENOUGH HARUKO (What?!)
- 2 eps of ancient stuff that doesn't really connect to the story imo...2 eps of recap...in a 13 ep series?! = 4 eps or ~30% of series wasted.
- Never really explain why Misuzu goes all crazy when she is close to making a friend...?
- So Yukito became a crow, and flies to the sky to look for Misuzu after she dies...ummm?
- Wait, why did he become a crow? to save Misuzu?! and just to have her die a couple of eps later?!
- Air in Summer: I would rather they show something on Yukito/Misuzu rather than the ancient times

Although the bad stuff outnumbered the good stuff, I did enjoy this series. Don't forget that this is back in 04 so I have to lower my expectations a little bit. There are alot of questions that are not solved and that is very bad. But to be honest, if I were to remake the series, scrap Minagi and Kano, and just focus on Misuzu and Yukito on the entire thing. More Haruko and Misuzu. Have Potato be Misuzu's pet instead of Sora the Crow. NO RECAPS. Just no.

That's about it for now. Probably more when I wake up 5-6 hours later...

EDIT 2: I guess that's it for now xD

K-on + Damage Control update.

First of all, K-on is GOOD. I am definitely watching that for the summer. Which is good...it's hard to live a season without anime now. It's bad in a way because I expect myself to not watch any anime the coming season. I guess that's not possible anymore~ xD Really like Mio! I hope that SS-Eclipse is going to sub it, as Chihiro/Coalguys both...suck.

Damage control update:
(1) Get insurance figured out.
- Ongoing.

(2) Get new car?!
- Looks more like it now. I should have said "confirm that I need a new car". RIP Kiseki-chan. It's sad seeing her like that...sigh.

(3) Find out what's wrong with credit report.
- DONE! at least did my part on finally requesting my reports. Now just need them to get here.

(4) Get TD US Visa..somehow.
- DONE! Can't wait for it in the mail...I guess if I want to do ANYTHING in TD from now on, I should must go into a branch even if it's just deposit/withdrawals --*

My first NEW anime of Spring 09...

...is going to be K-On.

Very impressed by the character designs and the ED. Well it's from KyoAni, and 99% of their stuff are WIN (just to be safe, although I don't know what the bad 1% could be). Can't wait to watch ep 1 tonight.

More on damage control tonight...still need more updates.

(2) Get new car?!
(3) Find out what's wrong with credit report.
(4) Get TD US Visa..somehow.

Huge 4 objectives for the short term.

*Cries*

...this past two days have been cruel, very very cruel. It was torture. I wanted to cry but can't. Tears just won't come out. Not yet. I still have to fix everything before I break down. There is still lots of work to be done.

Am I being played by a pre-April's Fool prank?! Or is this a dream?! Someone please wake me up...

寂しいね。。。

WWJD?
