It's been a fair while since my last update, so I figured I'd better get off my figurative arse and post something, if only for my peace of mind. *sheepish*
In the long period between my last post and today, I turned 21, I resumed university (yay, semester two...) and my car broke down and had to be sold. So now I'm using the family's leaky Holden Commodore, which guzzles petrol like there's a hole in the tank. Me? I'm just lucky to even HAVE a car to drive with.
But I loved my car. ;_;
Also, the Melbourne Anime Festival 2010 (aka Manifest) was on last weekend, so I blew a fair bit of the cash I'd gotten for my 21st birthday. Got the Gurren Lagann collection, a Raichu plushie, and a couple of Batman collected comics (
Year One, Long Halloween, the Killing Joke, Arkham Asylum: Serious House on Serious Earth, and finally
Hush. Really wanted to get
Dark Victory and
Under the Hood, but y'know.
Also cosplayed again this year, but went as DC anti-hero Rorschach from
Watchmen. Awesome fun! Lots of photos, will be keeping him. Will also be trying to cosplay Jak from Jak 2, the series by Naughty Dog. I am actually a huge fan of that series, if that's surprising.
While watching the AMV Iron Chef judging I spotted an anime that caught my eye - it's called Black★Rock Shooter and I watched it yesterday. Fuckin'
awesome. Really nice animation quality, excellent fight choreography, both epic and adorable and heartbreaking all at once.
Was very cool, and now I want to write fic. ;_;
I now ship Mato/Yomi, damnit... and BRS/Dead Master (see icon).But yes, been on a rather huge Batman kick recently, after finishing Arkham Asylum on the PS3. Fed this with the DC animated film
Under the Red Hood, lots of Batman movies and all that! It's been quite fun.
Also, I caught a cold from my girlfriend. I was just so lucky it only really started after Manifest, otherwise it would have been unbearable under the mask. Blergh. But it's turned fully fledged now, sore throat, coughing, stuffed nose, the works!
