Avatar: The Last Airbender (08/22/08)

That's right gang, I wasted precious hours of my life on another TV show...but guess what? I DON'T CARE! MWAHAHAHAHHA!....

I just finished watching the ENTIRE seasons of Avatar. I know I know. I said that i would stop but just can't seem to. this time i blame my sister! she got my hooked on it. Before i would knock it and laugh....oh how we grow up.
Here's the skinny for those that don't know. There are these Nations of people that can control the elements (no, love isn't one of them thank you very much Bruce Willis). You got the fire nation, earth nation, water nation and wind nation. through it all there is one person in the entire world that can control all four known as the Avatar. so one day the fire nation lord decides that he wants more of the pie and attacks the other nations. the only one that can stop him is the Avatar, but guess what, wouldn't you know it, no one can find him (All this is explained in the opening credits). and that is where Book 1 Chapter 1 begins: The Boy in the Iceberg.
Over all i liked it. hey, i wouldn't have put in all the hours if i didn't right. but this one i enjoyed to the very end. you got life a death situations, couples popping up everywhere, family issues (!), comedy, mystical powers, good laughs, and so much more. Not to mention the seasons is broken up into books (my fav.) and then the episodes into chapters (handy). Also the graphic designs are just to my liking, simple yet bold and useful.
the down side?...not all that much to it really. if you read my other reviews (or know me), you would notice i'm critical (if you haven't noticed, i might have been lazy typing the reviews). if the other reviews got an A, this one gets an A++. But don't take my word for it, there are 3 books, each with 21 chapters, find out for yourself.

Lovely Complex (07/01/08)

Great News All, I just wasted some many hours (again) procrastinating what i suppose to be doing! Yay me. hahaha. But this time i have to say it was well worth it. I finished all 26 eps. of Lovely Complex (aka Love Com). Its about the tall girl named Risa Koizumi and she falls for the shortest guy in her class who is also a somewhat best friend, Atsushi Otani. Of course, its starts out with rivals coming in and then develops into her getting up the nerve to tell him. Near the end he has his chance to admit to his feelings. Over all it was a great anime that i constantly return to watch. I have to admit most parts had me busting out laughing and ep 7 had me crying. Very emotional stuff. Hahaha. I have not had a chance to read the manga and don't think i will (i can't watch then read the book: it's too weird). Oh yeah! if you wanna get this story all wrapped up in about an hour, just go to youtube and search Lovely Complex part 1/12 and watch the live action movie. It covers all the essentials but lacks the depth that the anime presented.

Here is the link to the entire series!:

Losing My First Year in College (04/13/08)

The first year of college is always said to be a time of change and growth. I feel have had both my first year here at Brown. I would like to take this time to thank all those who I have met here. On my first days, wither we kept in touch or not, those I see constantly yet don't converse with often, and those that I can't seem to get enough of. It has been a great year with only 4 weeks left before I'm headed home. However, the memories that I have made with these amazing people will have to carry on throughout my next year.

Those that I have formed an attachment with are leaving next year. My mentor is moving to Texas this Wednesday and I will miss her very much. Seems like we were just getting to know one another and forming a bond but now it's set to emails and phone calls. My friends in NAB are mostly seniors and going off to Grad school next year. Winnie, my partner in crime and fun-ness, is going to Australia next spring. I am very happy for each of them. I am happy for them and wish them the best, but looking at what is in store for me in the coming year, I can't help but notice how much they have always helped me. THANK YOU!! I cannot say it enough. THANK YOU! Next year is a ways off but it will come just as sure as my next breath. Just when I am comfortable, it all changes. Hahahaha. Gotta Love because Hating it does nothing.

feeling bored/depressed? (03/12/08)

Are you sad? Do you get tired? Start to wonder what you are even doing with your life? I have just the answer for you!!

Mostly, when faced with such a problem friends and family and psycologists will advise to return to a time when your were last happy. In my current case that will not apply seeing as that is what made me sad in the first place. I tried ignoring it and listening to music i liked but the feelings kept right on coming.

Thats when my hands got cold and i still had to keep going on my paper due soon. I put on my gloves and am now having a ball! (yes, that is not my normal typeos! they are typeos made with glove covered hands!!) Chicken-pecking they keyboard is amazing! (eww, that almost sounded dirty, fella) it kills your back and is slow as hell but i’m having a blast. This mway my worries are thrust/forced/cramed back and saved for a less public time when i can break down ^.^
