The Ephemeral SoL

As misakichii pointed out, its been close to a good whole month since I last posted. And that wasn’t even a decent post, just some random ramblings. So what have I been up to?

Dealing with real life.

Work is too consuming. I live in the west, yet I have to travel an hour to the east daily for my work. And when I do get home, I’m pretty much too drained to do anything. I don’t get the drive to download and watch anime even. Thats gonna change however, since I’ll be quitting my job and moving to one at my alma mater, as a lab technician. Its 5 mins from my house, so I should have more time on my hands now. Time I should make better use of. I’ve been plagued with issues the past few weeks too, of relationship, family, work, colleagues, friends. Hopefully I can resolve all of them soon enough.

As for anime, I expect a revival when I start my new job, or when I go back to Uni. Currently the only ones I’m watching are Hayate no Gotoku and Kimikiss( down to two!). I don’t even know whats on the upcoming season. Somehow I just can’t be the anime otaku I used to be. I don’t scream at the sight of Haruhi, I don’t see the point in figurines, and I’m starting to feel anime is expendable now.

So I’m afraid, guys, don’t expect too much over here. Its gonna be even more spastically updated from now on.

Ciao.

I haven’t been watching much anime lately, as shown from my lack of posts. So far I’ve been catching only a few series.

Clannad - Cause everybody’s watching it?

Hayate no Gotoku - Sanzenin Nagi. Tsundere rocks.

Kimikiss - Romance and catfights(soon to come).

True Tears -  Isurugi Noe. I realise I watch anime for the characters.

And thats all! Pretty pathetic huh? I wonder what will become of this blog.

I’m sorry if you guys got to here via the good ‘ole bookmark and felt disappointed/angry at the lack of articles here. I’ve been rather busy with my real life recently.

I’m feeling very much jaded from work, and luckily its only a 6 month job before my University term starts. I’m working in telesales, for those who doesn’t know, and its interesting, but it does get repetitive sometimes. It sucks especially when you call some assholes and woke them up from their high and mighty slumber at 11am in the morning and they utter a string of expletives at you. It happened to me this morning, and it totally spoiled my day.

I’ve also been catching the season’s finer anime series, just that I’m too lazy to blog about them. Catching them on a daily basis is much better than marathoning a whole chunk at a time thats for sure. I’ve also been delving into the 3D world, with Nodame Cantabile(drama). Its freaking awesome, so catch it if you haven’t yet.

Lastly, there’s another important person in my life now, so I’ve gotta split my time into smaller slices. Sad to say that she’s like a real ojou-sama. LOL. No worries, I won’t desert this blog just yet. Pretty soon this blog will be back in action, in ermm…

6months?

Joking of course. Until the next time I’m free to post something of substance here, enjoy work, enjoy school, enjoy life. Ciao.

As promised, another chunk of text up here. I’ve been rather busy with my newfound job and in the end I don’t have much motivation to do labor-intensive posts. I actually planned on writing about some of the new animes, but that requires screenshots bleh =X

Anyway, today’s post is about something that happened during my sales training. Our trainer, a guy of 22, was trying to talk to us, the trainees, while waiting to knock off. Apparently, he was asking whether anybody watches Naruto when a female trainee suddenly proclaimed “Ohmaigawd, NARUTO! That’s semi porn!”

Lately, I’ve been noticing a rise in the number of animebloggers creating personal blogs. I’m not gonna reveal who, but its safe to assume most loyal readers over here have a general idea. So what drives these people(me included) to create personal blogs? Boredom? Love for writing?

By my definition, [Mainstreamer]: someone who only watches the popular animes, rave about them and think they are the best(and only) there ever will be.

Lets face it, if you are reading this blog, you’re most probably not a mainstreamer. Right? Right?

I keep an extensive list of rss bookmarks in my browser, for convenience’s sake. Some people visit other blogs by clicking on their blogroll, but I love the ease of checking whether a blog has updates by a simple click, instead of going to the blog itself. To date, I have about 30 blogs stored in my bookmarks, and I check them regularly. Previously, when I was in the army, I would only be able to check the blogs on weekends, and it took me roughly an hour to read every new posts.
