So, we're a few weeks into 2012. Not much has changed, since my last update, but I'm working on it...slowly. I ended up getting sick, around New Year's and am still trying to fully recover. I think I may have gotten that cough that's been going around. I'm almost over it, though. Don't worry, I'm fine. In fact, I was just getting some exercise. Hell yeah, I graduated from 5 pound to 10 pound weights!
Anyhow, life goes on as usual. While I'm still unemployed, I have been filling out a lot more applications, over the past few months. Heck, I'm impressed with how many apps and interviews I've had, over the past year. I'm getting more practice with it. I just need to work more on the bullshitting part. It seems that no one is perfectly honest with their apps and interviews, these days. It's just that lying doesn't come easy to me. I always end up breaking, somehow. ^^' Oh, well. Just gotta keep trying!
Still doing volunteer work at the library, too. I even have a volunteer appreciation reception after my shift, tonight. Ah~! It feels so good to get some praise for a job well done. Even without the reception, everyone's still happy with how hard I work. I just wish it were an official position, is all. -sigh- Maybe someday, I'll get there.
Fandom life is at something of a stand-still, right now. I've been watching Gundam AGE with Erick, but only for the lulz and to make fun of it a little. After seeing how lazy the first part felt, I really hope they step it up in part two. Really, the only redeeming factors, for me, are the cool guy trio of Woolf, Largan, and Grodek. I'm fully expecting Grodek to die in the next ep, but I have gotten confirmation that Woolf will survive. And just a few days ago, I found out that Largan's going to be in a side story, that takes place during part two. I was really getting worried about all the death flags he's been getting, but it looks like he ends up beating the odds. However, while it has been said that the manga is canon, I just want to make sure it's fully confirmed in the anime; just to be on the safe side.
Next, I'm sure people have heard about all the new Code Geass stuff coming out. After watching the promo video for Akito, I'm a little more excited for it, if only for the Knightmare action. I'm definitely looking forward to the Nunnally in Wonderland OVA, even if it looks like it's just an overblown picture drama. But I get some face time with His Puddingness and Nee-san. I'm not going to complain. Also, I want details on the Lelouch of the Rebellion movie, ASAP. Is it going to be a retelling of the series? A side story? Or perhaps (and I'm just playfully grasping at straws here) a post-R2 story? Either way, if it's set in Area 11 and we get the original cast, I'm on board. Just give me plenty of time with Team Lancelot, and we can call our business done. :P And I do plan on doing coverage of the new stuff, but it's probably going to be at my LJ. I might copypasta it here, but we'll see how I'm feeling. It's not like anyone actually reads this blog, anyhow. -shrugs-
I'm still in the process of sampling this season's offerings, but the two that have given me any sort of amusement are Daily Lives of High School Boys and Bodacious Space Pirates. At the moment, I think Space Pirates is ahead of High School Boys. I feel a little more at home with that show, since I like cheesy space opera and the setting and characters are already developing nicely. And, despite the name, there hasn't been much, if any, fanservice at all. It's more, "blink or you'll miss it". High School Boys...I don't know if it's because I watched an episode of Keroro before the first episode, but the humor was kind of off, for me. Sure, I like watching stupid guys doing stupid stuff (Hey, I was a Cromartie fan, back in the day.), but I could see some of the jokes coming from a mile away. However, I will give it a few more episodes. Still, the fact that I got more laughs out of Keroro, rather than this show that everyone's been talking about, has me a little worried.
Well, I have to be at the library in a bit, so I need to start getting ready. Don't know when I'll update again, but it'll be sometime. Probably in another 3 or 4 months. XD
