whitereflectionIs...about 15 days until my 2nd year Japanese class starts and...yeah. Haven't done any studying or reviewing the entire summer. Not a bit. Have definitely forgotten basic kana, much less my vocabulary, grammar, and kanji. Yeah...
And how have I spent my weekend, in light of all that? Downloading video game remix music off http://www.vgmix.com. Which, considering how much I got (about 75+ mp3s, plus some random other stuff), took...a while. Not counting time to sort it all into my playlist and delete stuff from my library to make it fit. So. That's two days, I kinda blew. ._. Yee.
Just...man, finding the motivation-caring-energy-whatnot to want to study...it's not like last year. Last year I was rabid the whole summer about it. Now it's just like...kinda dreading it in a way. >_> I know I *can* do it, and I know it won't take quite as much time (we only meet 3 times a week instead of five and don't progress through as many chapters, so...). Not quite sure why I can't get psyched, I really don't know. So yeah...will have to figure out something to kick myself in the ass and get it done.
Though I chew on pondering, a bit, about the other stuff I ain't doing--writing, oil pastel work or painting, re-starting to learn that guitar, socializing, catching up on anime, playing my video games, housecleaning, finishing the unpacking (from god, almost 3 years ago?), and so on, etc. Sometimes I think I'm finally pulling out of it, starting to get back to accomplishing things and living like *normal*. But then it just kinda goes away, and I spend a lot of time just not really wanting to do much at all. Just sleep, or maybe read, work when I have to. All this tiredness all the time--how much is physical and how much is mental? I really do need to figure that out. Or maybe that's not why I'm so out of whack--but if it's not, what is the problem then? Normal people *do* things...not like I'm lacking for things to do if I just make the attempt.
...and now I'm full-tilt rambling. So, set that aside. Have new music, a good chunk of it. Yay.
Did show Anj, Gina, and Kel the Escaflowne/King AMV and the RvB-real world/internet thing. They seemed to get a kick outta those. Anj's getting the Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex commercial release (first DVD is out), and watching that again, after seeing a little originally in fansub, all I can say is Holy Criminy *TRY* this show out. So damned good. And neat looking. And just fascinating. Good music, too (Yoko Kanno, worship her, yes *flails*).
Mmmmmmmmmm...I *like* this cover. *__* I think I'm gonna have to find more of the Kill Bill soundtrack... *clings to KatKat like a limpet for sharingness* Lovely-nice guitar work, yes... (I should share the original version. The Animals *rocked*. This and House of the Rising Sun, I Gotta Get Out of This Place--all v.,v.good, classic stuff.)
