That's it I guess. I'm now officially into holidays, for two weeks.
Well, to be honest, I haven't done anything for uni for a while now, especially this week where I struggled anytime I had any homework to do and got done nothing at all in the end, plus I missed a few classes and went to uni only to meet with my tandem partner. Partly because I'm still sort of ill (still trying to break through without getting really ill after all, this is so tiresome!), partly because I didn't have any motivation left. But that's okay, my program for today is to clean up my room, do the laundry and maybe some cooking, and then movies, Naruto, writing fanfics, going out for the walk, sleep as much as I want... you name it, and this for the whole week-end.♥ And I won't even think of my homework! WOOT!
I suppose I'll go into exam mode anytime soon though to catch up all the work I haven't finished those past weeks, but that's also okay. That will mean less time on the internet and the such, but I hope a stricter working schedule will motivate me for the exams that will begin in mid-may, everything will be fine!:)

( Speaking of Naruto... )

( Also, dear Bleach-Fandom )

Nuuuuuuuuh, why, why dear french dubbers, did you have to do this?;__;

I must admit that my new guilty pleasure is, as the very first thing in the morning when I wake up, to switch on the tv. Mostly to watch the news, but since I discovered the french dub version of Bleach on monday, guess what I'm watching first. Oookay, the voices take getting used to of course, and I noticed today that I couldn't stand Kon's voice, especially when he's in Ichigo's body, but... yeah. But why, oh why did you have to make Ukitake a woman??? I know, he's got long, white hair, and in this specific scene (the first fight with Grand Fisher, when Rukia has a flashback of Ukitake delivering a beautiful speach about honor and death and whatelse) you can't see more than his lower face and his hair, but... but... haven't they seen the rest of Bleach when they hired the voice actors? Or at least read the manga? Or any google research, any???;__;
Now I'm really curious to know how they will manage this later on, when you come to see more than Ukitakes hair and chin. He may not be as manly as Kyôraku is, but still, he's not exactly looking feminine either.^^; Oh dubbers of the world, you'll never stop to amaze me with your stupid. *sigh*

( Cut for incoherent fangasm about the Bleach drama cds )


So, uhm, yeah, I'm in full Bleach fan modus for a while again. It's about time I go back to Germany (tomorrow ♥) and buy the rest of the available german manga, that I can finally read the scanlations with a good conscience.
Also, see next (locked entry) for more.:)

I should watch anime raws more often. Seriously. I haven't done any comprehension exercises in japanese for a looong while now and I'm sure my comprehension skills could have been a lot better otherwise, but, well, I'm glad that I did at least understand the easier dialogs and (hopefully) the basic storyline of the Bleach movie. I will be waiting for the subs now, watch it one more time to understand the rest and the more complicated explanations... and after that, try to ignore that this movie even exists!¬_¬

( Beware the SPOILERS! )

NOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEZ!!!!!!!111!!123ONEONEHUNDREDTWELVE I finally caught up with the Bleach anime - as I had to realize to my abysmal regret when I intended to search for my daily crack on Dailymotion. Episode 132 is the most recent one for now, next episode is aired on july 11th. In four days, if my fingers are right. Which doesn't mean I will be able to watch Bleach 133 the same day, since last time I checked, I had no japanese tv channels on my own tv and I have no clue how fast subbers and uploaders are working.
I hope they're fast, I'm leaving for France again next friday and won't have internet access till the 20th.^^;

( Cut for lenght )


Speaking of Bleach and the end of anime episodes, what about the manga? Do you know the german translation? I've seen it's from Tokyopop, and though I don't have any Tokyopop manga yet, I've heard that the translations and layouts suck all too often?^^;
Or what about the french version? Recommendable... or rather not? Not that I'd have the money anyway, I just started to buy 20th Centuries Boys after all, but I don't like to read manga online that much. I love to hold them in my hands, smell the paper and the ink, read them on my bed, sort them in my shelf with the other manga... *sigh*

I finally finished to read William Goldman's "The Princess Bride", a book I had in my bookshelf for several years now, but I never came to read it until now.

( Read more... )


Uuuh, well. That was not exactly positive, huh?^^; That's why I'll add some other ramblings - about BLEACH!
Yes, Bleach. Still Bleach. I don't know the manga, but I have been watching the anime for several weeks now, with a break for two or three weeks after the first big arc. Now I finally entered the Arrancar arc, so please, no spoilers for anything I haven't seen yet.:)

( BLEEEAAAAACH! )


Oookay, 'nuff said. Will try to fight my circulatory collapse with another episode of Bleach - and try to finish my second fic in progress this week.~__~ I have finished to write both the Akako/Shiho for dagronrat and I'm almost done with my Ran/Sonoko, but I don't like the results half as much as I'd like to. Which means lots of editing, and I hate editing!;__;
The next fics to write/finish will be the Shinichi/Ran and the Blade/Frost, I hope I will finish them before going to Scotland.^^;



[edit] Yeah, I know lj-cuts are a great thing, but not as great as to call them "lj-cute" and wonder why html won't work...^^;

This year I realized way too often that I fail at the easiest translations.;>__> Four of five exams are done, and for now the expected pass/fail quota is 50% each.~__~ The worst: I know that the exams I will (very) likely have failed at were ridiculously easy! Blaaaargh! I think I will go in a corner and emo for about another 20 minutes while watching Bleach 04. *glooooom*

Anyway, I'm looking forward to meet loradanan again, we haven't seen each other for... one year now? She's in Paris for two days with a friend as from today, I hope we'll manage to go to a nice restaurant together after my last exam tomorrow.^__^ I'm just sorry for her that we have this awful and unsettled weather in Paris right now...>__>



In another topic, the statement of the day:

Rukia and Ichigo ROCK!!1


Thank you for your attention. That was all for today. *steps from her soap-box and leaves behind the scenes*
