music:::Massive Attack – Euro Zero Zero

I’m back in T. The long long ride yesterday was quite exhausting cause I hadn’t slept the night before as I’d been too nervous which made the car ride twice as exhausting. So the second my dad left yesterday, I got really really homesick. I’m either extremely hyper or down when I haven’t had enough sleep; yesterday it was the latter of the two, with the feeling of being totally alone in this city on top. I was actually thinking about buying a train ticket and taking the next train home. I slept two hours and afterwards I called one of my friends here instead. That helped a lot. Then I called my mum and not breaking into tears even with 700+ km between us helped quite a lot, too.
It’s so much warmer than at home, though. I’m not really a winter person so the fine weather makes being here a little easier. Just a little, though.
My first Japanese lesson in more than 2 months was great, so was meeting all my lovely people I haven’t seen for so long.

I’m not sure about anything at the moment. I’m really grateful for having my friends, I’m sure I’d have already left this place if it wasn’t for their caring and simple presence.
But I’m staring to have my doubts about the whole system of studying. University is so much like school, education-wise at least. And I’m so sick and tired of studying. All this sitting in rooms, listening to crap you’re only 50% interested in, reading books, writing papers, giving reports… I’d never thought there’d come a day I’ll say this, but: I want to work. I need to be productive, creative. There has to be something else than this. Something a bit more satisfying. And I really want to be closer to my family.

The semester’s a day old and I’m already sick of studying. Cool.

Looks like the Kagrra photobook got canceled ;_;
Well, the Haru urara samples and a new single in July and a new mini-album in September are more just enough to make up for that.
(I won’t give up hoping they’ll release that book someday, though. The details for it were so specific and they had even started to accept orders for it… Something must’ve majorly gone wrong there.)

music:::Idlewild – Modern Way Of Letting Go

We took a 3 hour walk with the dog. It was so warm outside, lovely. Le Dog jumping into muddy ponds and then jumping at me afterwards was not that lovely, though -_-;

I really enjoyed the first episode of Sento Yousei Yukikaze. Can’t believe it took me so long to finally watch it. I’d say that the story line is quite innovative for a mecha anime. It took me a bit of time to get used to the character design, but I think it really fits the more mature, serious story.

Don’t know if I have enough time tonight but I’ll try and watch the first episode of Texhnolyze. Yoshitoshi Abe greatness!! I might as well turn this into some sort of anime night as I still have to watch D.N.Angel 3 and the latest episode of Wolf’s Rain. And Yukikaze 2, yay!!

Happy Easter! *drowns in chocolate eggs*

Depression time, anyway.
I spent the day with my family, the whole of my family – parents, sister, grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins and all. I felt so good but things turned a bit towards the melancholic side when we said our goodbyes, knowing we won’t meet again until August.

Now I’m back home, with my small little family: mum, dad, sister, sister’s boyfriend, dog.
I’m still happy, even with the thought of having just one more week with them. I just want to make the best of the time I still have here.

And now excuse me while I make use of the mighty weapon of chocolate eggs for some serotonin.

music:::Massive Attack – Reflections

Time’s ticking away. Someone make it stop, please.

Spring time is Merry time. It’s been slightly more than a year since I’ve fallen in love with them. Listening to their stuff reminded me of last spring, when I had no school or uni stuff to worry about, when I was just happy listening to the funkiest indie band ever. (Or something.)

So I finally got my lazy arse up and placed my Third Stage order. Merry’s Gendai Stoic, the new Kagerou single and the Guruguru Eigakan mini-album will all be mine by the end of May. That’s a long time of impatient waiting for the merry album, but there was nothing else I could’ve ordered with it that was released a little earlier. Oh well, I’m looking forward to all three CDs. I really really hope Kagerou will put out something decent this time. I’d like to pretend I have total faith in them but after the double single release last year, I’m not so sure what to think of them anymore.

*makes you some tea* Get well, dear ♥

Aah! Haru urara samples!! Official Kagrra site!!!

(And while you’re there, go to What’s New and click on the media feature thingy and OMG! That pic from uv is horrible >_< They look like an ArucarD/Kra/Hanamuke clone.)

Thus I shall go to bed, with both my ears and eyes bleeding – due to positive and not.so.positive stimulation.

music:::Manic Street Preachers – My little empire

Went to the zoo. Me and the penguin, only a small fence between us = happiness.

I love this little place of earth. I really don’t want to be anywhere else in the world. I need my family around me, especially my mum and my sister. (Plus the dog and the cat, of course.) I can’t sleep that well because I keep thinking of the fact that I have to leave all of this in two weeks, I just can’t let go of the thought. There’s this strange heaviness in my chest everytime I look at the calendar.

So now I’m downloading D.N.Angel 2. Looks like this is becoming some sort of Sunday routine, thanks to the fansubbers.
The pilot of Kino no Tabi was a brilliant teaser (especially loved the whole ‘tower’ bizarreness), I hope someone will sub the whole series. The character design’s lovely, too (a bit retro which is always nice).
I gave up watching .hack//Udeden. It got more and more boring :(
Mahoutsukai ni taisetsu na koto is a wonderful little series, though. I really like watching it before I go to sleep ^_^
