Take your Candy and GTFO.

Well, it seems to be Halloween today. After wasting the majority of the day playing TF2 and (somewhat) enjoying the Halloween events, and falling asleep at my desk, the day slowly slipped into night. With the night, came the trick or treaters.

Now, I don't know much about your neighbourhood, but the people in mine seem to make a big deal out of Halloween. I've been forced to answer the door over twelve times since the time it got dark, and regretfully say "There's no candy here, try over there" to groups of young children dressed up in costumes you could just laugh at. It's pitiable...

I totally come off as a jerk for saying that. Self-hatred aside, we don't even have any candy to give them, so they'd be disappointed anyway. Now I think the neighbourhood hates me. ;_;

Anyway, how did you guys spend your Halloween, if you celebrated it at all?

Buyfag.

So my relatives came over today. Y'know, the ones from Texas that I mentioned in my last post. With them came a lot of goodies, the majority of which were clothes. There was one thing I was looking forward to though, and that was...

I also got two other volumes.

Yeah. I had it shipped over to them instead of directly to my place, as shipping costs are a bitch over here (when you order from Amazon, in any case). The books cost me quite a lot themselves. It totally sucks that there's hardly any manga here. I mean, Kinokuniya stocks some, but their collection doesn't really cater to the more obscure readers like myself. ;_;

I'd like to buy some character figures too. But, they're expensive. And pretty much impossible to obtain from where I am now. Plus, I don't think that my parents would approve anyway. How sad...

Generic Revival Post.

Hoo yay. It's not my fault that I have to resort to these crappy posts. Nothing's been happening, and I don't think any of you will appreciate my anime/game related ramblings. So yeeeeah... But really, I should do more of them, despite the fact that more than half of you would probably have no idea as to what i'm hyped about. At least it'll stop me from having to make these half-assed excuses for posts.

On a completely unrelated note, some relatives of mine are coming over here all the way from Texas in America. Permanently. It'll be nice. Or so I hope. They'll be bringing a lot of goodies over, and be mooching off my family until they get jobs and a house of their own. Oh well. Nothing's perfect. Despite how I sound, they'll definitely be a good addition to the household, and be welcome, of course. Got to help family out.

That's it for now.

Peace. Take it easy.

A Holiday Recap.

Behold, I shall recount my holiday experience with one picture.

Source is Hikikomori Quest if you're interested.

That aside, this was a pretty uneventful holiday. All I really did was complete a few assignments, play some games, draw some pictures and sleep when I had run out or had gotten bored of what I had to do. Life sure is lonely. ;_;

In the meantime, i'll just wait for something worthwhile to happen, so I can actually write a quality post.

Fail Fall Season? Not really.

By now, most shows have already started airing. Some of them are actually decent, at least so far. To be honest, I expected worse. Despite my previous hate towards this season, i'm actually watching more shows than I expected. Anyway, i'm currently keeping up with...

Kimi ni Todoke:
After seeing a lot of threads about it on /a/, I decided to give it a shot. Plotwise and artwise, it's just another generic shoujo, but I don't care. It's pretty, and different from whatever else i'm watching. If anything, it's a refreshing break from my normal watching schedule. I might read the manga sometime soon as well. Also, quick question...

Are lips always drawn like that in shoujo?

Kobato:

Cute. What else can I say? It started off well. I have high hopes for this series.

A Certain Scientific Railgun:
Aww yeah. Even if you discern the fact that it has a lot of fanservice and a lesbian, it's still awesome. I mean, just look at it: (There are no spoiler tags. So...)

Apologies. ;_;

But don't get me wrong. I'm not just watching it for that. At least, that's what i'm telling myself.

Nyan Koi!:
This actually caught me by surprise. Again, like Kimi ni Todoke, it caught my attention through threads on /a/. Pretty awesome stuff, even though i'm not writing much about it. I'm just lazy, that's all.

Apart from these, i'm still waiting on Trapeze which, according to trailers, looks pretty awesome as well. Also, gg better get a new translator very soon. I'm dying waiting for subs of the last 2 episodes of Zan: Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. They just had to kick that guy out, didn't they? ;_;

The last 3 Bakemonogatari episodes are being streamed online soon as well, and i'll be watching them as they come out with subs. Can't wait.

Yeah, these are my opinions. Feel free to post yours if you're actually following this season. I bet that none or at least not many of you are, though. ;_;

Shameful Advertising.

I've joined up with the guys at Paneled Awesomeness and i'm drawing comics for them. I don't know why. It would be great if I were actually paid to do this, but never mind that. Anyway...

Proof that I can and will draw anything.

Ugh. What have they made me draw? Actually, that's my fault. I kinda strayed away from the script there. In before you fags call me gay.

So yeah, check them out from time to time. You'll see my failed attempts at making comics, as well as art from other guys. That is, if we actually put effort into this crap, and last longer than a few weeks. ;_;

The Holidays.

Thank God they're finally here. I was about to kill myself. But really, the holidays are just a brief moment of rest, and I need a lot of rest after this eventful term. I'm treating these holidays as a time to catch up on lost sleep due to assignments and the like. Unexciting, I know, but I do have some other plans. (Photoshop Adventures, anyone? Yeah, it's going to start this Monday.)

Anyways, i'm going to have some well-deserved sleep. To compensate for the lack of quality and awesome in this post, take some recent art. Goodbye for now, see you when Photoshop Adventures starts. (Please participate guys ;_;)

The aforementioned art?
