Ceres translates to Leslie? WTF?

Beware, for I am: Tired

Today seemed to go by so slowly...it’s probably because it marks the beginning of the weekend and lazy days as I know them. Although the fact that I had virtually nothing to do at work didn’t help things very much. I mean, I only had one thing to do today and I’d already done most of it. Oh, no, wait, I had two things to do. But that other one was so simple, it didn’t make a blip on my ‘to-do’ radar. And the second thing I had to do was over half way done, I just had to wait for our accountant to hurry up and get me the right numbers.

Also, my internal/external company e-mail was set up along with everything else I requested from the computer tech guy. Then he left for Disneyworld. Lucky Bastard. The rest of us are stuck here with all the crazy people. Mardi Gras really brings out the terminally insane among us down here for some reason. If you ask the older people, they’ll tell you that Mardi Gras used to be about family. You got together with family and bar-b-qued and had fun and celebrated. Now it’s about getting drunk and who can flash more people and get better beads. It makes me sick.

On a better note; I finished the next chapter in the EQ Saga today. That’s right. I have now hit 6,300 words, which is just over the 5,000 minimum, thereby qualifying as a chapter. Now all I have to do is proof read and edit it and I’ll be done. It’s not due to go up till the 5th of March though, so I have some time. I figure, I’ll go over it once this weekend and then I’ll keep going over it on my lunch hours when I’m at work. I’ll figure it out.

Reiko loaned me Arashi no Ceres to watch along with some manga that I haven’t seen. Now, usually I enjoy any new anime that I can get my hands on, but this series isn’t working for me. It doesn’t help that Reiko bought it boot-leg from Hong Kong. I mean, the translation sucks (if it’s there at all), they get their names all weird (The fairy who’s name is Ceres they keep translating to Louise. Waterfalls is that?), and to top it all off the box set itself is falling apart. Not to mention the over use of love triangles, unrequited love, angst, and bloody miserable death. I keep telling myself that if the translation were better, I’d probably like it more. But then I look at the actual content, and I don’t like it. I mean it’s just too much blood, violence, and angst. Three things that I never like too much of in any situation. It also doesn’t help that Reiko ‘misplaced’ the third DVD and I couldn’t see the ending even if I wanted to.

The Manga that she loaned me is the first volume of Qwan, volumes 1 and 2 of Chobits, and volumes 1 2 and 3 of Vampire Game. The only one that I’ve started so far is Chobits and I’m not really that crazy about it. Yeah, the girl’s cute and sweet, but the whole thing’s just really really really perverted. Honestly. I think I’ll take a break from that to focus on the other two series to get an unbiased opinion of them.

Speaking of Reiko, her birthday is coming soon. I already have my present to her ready and all. Though, I do fully intend to call her up on March 8th and whisper over the phone “Seven Days” (her brithday’s on the 15th for all of those that don’t see any logic in that). That should show that I am actually keeping track and that will make her feel special.

Speaking of ‘Moto-chans, I’m gonna try and write to Chibi some time this weekend. If I don’t make the effort now, I may never do it. I can’t just say I’m busy with work or that I’m tired. Those excuses don’t work. In real life, you make time for what you love and you can quote me on that!

Allright. It’s late, I’m tired, I fully intend to sleep in tomorrow, and I wanna get a head start. Right now!

If you were an anime character the first thing
people would recognize about you would be your
wings. Having wings as your primary
distinguishing feature shows that you are
someone who holds to your beliefs (whatever
they may be) and yet, you are not afraid of
change either. You are a thoughtful person
with a tendency to see beyond what most people
perceive, and are quite open-minded towards new
and unusual ideas. Most likely you are quiet
and unobtrusive, especially in unfamiliar
situations, because you prefer to observe.
