Addiction
What's up everyone. I'm back with another post. This one is inspired by my good friend Frank. This link redeems itself for the aforementioned scary link that he sent me so many years back. Mr. Shaw has taken his place. Let's just say that I'm glad that I never said "if McDonald ever becomes chic I will kill myself." Oh Japan, you never let me down. I'm rubbing it.
I've finished watching my latest anime addiction, Full Metal Alchemist. The show revolves around two brothers who seek out the philosopher's stone in a world where alchemy exists. It ends with what I thought was a good philosophical ending. The animation ranges from above average to insane quality at times; I know I won't have to explain exactly when that happens for all you anime fans out there. I give it my recommendation. It's a series shrouded in mystery up until the very end. Though a lot of fans thought the end left you wanting more, I thought the series ended nicely. I also find that the attraction for more information about the characters in an anime is a testament to how involved the director has made his audience.
Just as good, I've gotten myself addicted to Lost, a new show on ABC about survivors of a plane crash stranded on an island. Every episode is dedicated to revealing the recent history of a passenger leading up to the crash, while at the same time chronicling the survival of the crash victims. The damn thing is so shrouded in mystery that you're glued to your set every Wednesday waiting to find out more. I can't say anything about the show for fear of revealing too much, but my only piece of good advice is to watch it from the beginning. Damn you Gottlieb for introducing me to this show.
So Halo 2 came out and may I say that I feel very sorry for anyone who works in a game store like my friend Mr. Woolley. Grand Theft Auto was bad enough, but to have Halo 2 come out so soon after such a big game and then having to deal with the new Nintendo hand-held the Nintendo DS and Half-life 2 all in the same month, my sympathies go out to you. But concerning the DK, I haven't played the Halo 2 yet since I'm renting it from Gamefly. It shall be in my hands fairly soon. In the meanwhilst I am playing Grand Theft Auto San Andreas and nearly all is good.
Why the "nearly" you might ask yourself and here's when it gets a little "bloggy". It is because I am still in search of a steady job. The life of freelancing is simply not for me. Literally jumping from paycheck to paycheck, I have been discouraged by my most recent failure to get a studio job. The only thing to do here is to be strong and keep looking forward. I can't wall myself up here. So mark my words, from now on I will intensively study animation until that fateful day.
Do not fret though, I always have internet to bring me back to high spirits. Like exercise while blowing people's heads off, or if I'm in the mood for distraction, a nice game here and there. But most of all the videos of when things go wrong always puts me in a good mood. I wish I knew what she was saying.
