    please don't suck please don't suck please don't suck
     
    also if it's a continuation from the original trilogy and not something entirely new and different, please overwrite some of the more meh expanded universe stuff but keep the cool parts like Mara Jade
     
    I'm trying to be optimistic, being a massive Star Wars fangirl literally since the age of 2, but god I have a terrible feeling this will suck

    anime

    By Laughing Man,

    used to be really into it but haven't watched any in quite a while
     
    recommend me some
     
    I primarily like comedy and romance but I'm down with pretty much anything

    so the indie pop band Tegan and Sara have released a new single from their upcoming 2013 album, entitled "Closer"
     
    it's
     
    different
     
    but good
     
    the emphasis is definitely on the pop this time around, it sounds a lot like a modern radio dance-pop track except.. it has a sort of M83 vibe running through the music, and overall is much stronger and more enjoyable to me than the radio-pop it resembles
     
    I hope they have more of their characteristic pop-rock fare on the album, but if the entire thing was electronic pop in this vein it might not be so bad

    Every Time

    By Laughing Man,

    every time I have a long, well-thought-out and important reply ready
     
    before I can post it, either somebody else says the same exact thing or the entry gets locked for precautionary purposes

    a blog entry

    By Laughing Man,

    hey yeah why not
     
    so I have a new job, and that's been basically consuming my life
     
    it kinda sucks but it pays pretty well for what it is I guess
     
    I just got my first paycheck and I already spent like 1/4 of it though, probably shouldn't do that lol
     
    also I had to call off work a couple days ago because I've been sick. still feel pretty bad but hopefully I'll be fine to work tomorrow
     
    not really closer to any of my goals yet but I guess this is a start at least
     
    so yeah that's that. that's what's new with me. what's new with you

    holy grail

    By Laughing Man,

    I said I'd pop back in on special occasions and I think this counts
     
    a couple weeks ago I dropped $40 on a copy of Machinae Supremacy's rare, out-of-print Redeemer (Underground Edition) CD. this was an independently-released limited run version of their second album that was only available through their website and has long since been discontinued, featuring a different mix and an alternate tracklist to its more common major label retail counterpart. they rarely ever show up for sale anywhere so when I saw it, I had to jump on it, and today it finally arrived.
     

     
    as the title states, this is basically a holy grail of my music collection. I'm stoked to finally own a copy.

    band's currently in the studio working on the follow-up to Phantom Shadow, which is supposed to be released later this year. I'll update this entry when the time comes.

    no jokes this time and I'll probably keep it relatively brief and casual cuz I'm just too tired
     
    lots of great new music came out in the past couple weeks. there was the new Katatonia last week which is currently my AotY, and then this week new Architects and Thrice both of which are pretty killer. dude at the record store sold me the former a day earlier than the release date which is pretty cool. meanwhile I've been trying to work out a new organizational/storage system for my 750+ CDs and that's been kind of a pain (literally. those boxes are heavy)
     
    also been catching up on this season's anime. Studio Trigger's Space Patrol Luluco is adorable and one of my favorite things in a while, although tonight's episode was kind of weird and felt rushed but still. I've also been enjoying Wit Studio's new show Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress. it's a little too similar to Attack on Titan (also by Wit) storywise but the animation is absolutely gorgeous and I'm liking the characters for the most part. Kiznaiver is another thing I'm really enjoying, it's also by Trigger but it looks and feels kind of different for them and I'm really digging the story and the characters. I've also been watching Mayoiga, although I don't know why at this point, since almost all the characters are really unlikeable and the story has kinda jumped the shark. beyond that I've started Tanaka-kun Is Always Listless and Anne Happy but haven't gotten far enough in either to make a judgment yet, and I've also still got a pretty long list of stuff I intend to check out at some point.
     
    and finally (and most importantly), in addition to my continued quest for employment I'm probably gonna start taking art classes soon. haven't worked out the specifics but it's something I'm really interested in doing and I've already found a few options that seem plausible. maybe if this pans out I can eventually do art as a career, that'd be pretty cool
     
    and that's it I guess. idk why I've decided to make these occasional life update entries here, my interest in this place is at an all-time low and I don't think anybody reads them anyway, but whatever
