It’s pretty obvious where I get most of my stuff from.

Yah, as predicted, I got too comfortable after my two Venice trips, my DS kept me pretty busy too (I will soon rant about that shitty FFT A2 here), and the backlog grew bigger and bigger: as of now, I need to watch/blog over ten episodes, and report about the two trips as well…

But today, as I got yet another package, I thought I could start clearing up my long backlog by brag posting about my recent acquisitions. Got a few CDs lying around for over two months!

Eh, this might be an extension of the two twitters I just spat out a couple of seconds ago… I think I just had something like bad conscience about neglecting my blog, or whatever. Well either way, I didn’t keep my schedule (as usual) to blog about Hyakko5, Index6 (and now tora7, hyakko6 and index7, soon tora8 and hyakko7 too! yay), not to mention my one day trip to Venice, or the 2 packages I got this week.

Yep, as it were, I raped that schedule to death twice with that stupid FFTA A2 which I still haven’t finished. Crud. I think I’m bent on getting at least 300 quests done before the final thing, if there ever will be a senseful end to that tiring and honestly boring game. (And before you ask, no I can’t let go this far in the game now -_-)

And there will be definitely no updates until Wednesday either, because I will be leaving to Venice again tomorrow, this time for two days. I’d promise to update soon after I return, but as it has been the case in July and now a week ago, every time I return from Venice, I become so comfortably lazy here at home, procrastinating in my blissful state excuses. Anyway, once my little mind barrier breaks (which should happen with the end of that goddamn A2), I should catch up to all of the stuff I missed. Most probably gonna batch blog them episodes or so…

So anyway, sorry about the lack of updates. You guys must already be used to this, but bear with me. If you really must know, some more excuses and musings after the jump.

neko’s Everyone’s grudge

As much as I am used to back(b)logging, I still hate to do so. Let’s say I’m simply hitting another procrastination streak, and I am feeling very, very sleepy lately. I blame my DS.
Usually, when I am about to finish a game, I try to devote a little more time to it so I can leave it behind afterwards. However, I miscalculated FFTA A2 pretty badly, and at almost 100 hours of play it feels like I am still not close to the end. Why, it really has been such a boring game anyway up to now… but I can’t ignore it just yet. Perhaps the end will do justice to my high expectations I had, having played the prequel and having looked at the (relatively) high ratings in magazines.

Ah well, why am I even justifying my short absence here? I am not even a week behind Hyakko and Index yet… And no, it’s not to warn you that this backlogging will last much longer.
I guess it’s because I know that when I don’t post for a couple of days, people already start forgetting about this blog. Unlike those hueg team blogs these days that are proliferating like cancer on Haste, this blog has no frequent commenter support nor other writer(s) (yet) to fill in the void days. So here’s my updating on your short attention span, guys. :D

But hey, even if I don’t post, I do at least keep my Twitter updated with news about my boring life, and occasional musings and explanations why I’m procrastinating. If you haven’t noticed yet, it’s on the sidebar on the right as well.

Long story short, I am still alive, and I will blog about Hyakko, Index and my one day Venice trip very soon. However, I will leave for Venice next Sunday again, until Tuesday because I still have a couple of things to take care of there… but of course I will write about it before the weekend (I hope).

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Fly with ARIAir!

So yeah, I’m leaving to Venice… for exactly one day. Just handing in my pre-enrolment documents at Ca’ Foscari University. Thankfully, it’s a pretty cheap trip – 40 Euros for return plane tickets, ARI RyanAir is great stuff. Even that night at the hotel costs more, heh.

Departing on Monday at noon, arriving there at 6 PM (most likely dawn, already), the next day, going to the Uni, handing in documents and what-not, then I dunno, wasting some time around I guess, then taking the plane back home at 10 PM.

For better or for worse, I’ll miss the beginning of Election Night. Ya know, US politics, srs bsns – hope to see either of the parties crying when I arrive home.

k, filling my ipod with music and R4 with games and camera batteries with juice, see ya~

Index Librorum Prohibitorum.

Ah, I had my hopes up for this episode, but the first opinion I had after the episode was that it was a mediocre ep, only because of the excessive dialogue. (tbh I had more fun watching Kannagi after Index today, and I haven’t followed that series all the time yet.)
