we're finally notdotq anymore

Really quickly: it’s hard to explain, but somehow what AIR failed hardest at (its episode count) came back not to haunt Clannad After Story but to ameliorate it. The recap episode provided the recognition required on the show’s part to validate the wiki history state reversion.

Also, Toradora!’s ending (eps. 24+25) pleased me immensely. It did three important things: it brought all the characters together in consensus/friendship/understanding, it was extremely passionate, and it recognized that these are still kids. The eloping theme was awesome to have, and even more awesome not to follow up on—I would have been shaking my head at the idiocy of these kids if they’d gone through with it. As things stand, it was just full of emotional win.

More on these later, perhaps.

Also, more on my life, since I’m supposed to be killing the site with non-anime blog posts. Or something.

Anyway, running for dinner with my dad now, then will be back to write a philosophy essay.

Cheers!

Hey, aniblogosphere?

I’m in love with this girl, and she loves me. There are some obstacles to us being open about our relationship around people in real life. Last night, one of those obstacles disappeared.

It feels like a huge weight has been lifted, and even though shit’s not perfect yet I kind of just wanted to gush.

That’s all.

These post titles shall descend further into the depths of obscurity as n(umber of posts) approaches infinity. And yet, these fingers will never type anything.

Time for some anibloggerality:

Munto sucks as of episode 7; Kyoto Animation turned the once-intriguing Yumemi into a puddle of moe moe jelly and basically sexified everything. lelangir approved; I just want more Gass. Too bad the guy’s dead because he finished pumping his gas. Har. Har. All he wanted to do was BANG BANG take your akuto. *badabum tshhhhhh*

Clannad After Story’s ending is officially balls, I don’t care what the game-playing purists say. Maybe it’s a good adaptation. A good adaptation of shit is still shit. I’m not saying Clannad’s shit, I’m just saying that this scenario is possible. I do know that the execution viewed objectively was weak, and I do know that the ending felt like Mai Hime 26. Only this time there was no Mashiro-chan to fix things, just a loopy plot that somehow had something to do with some nonsensical dreamscape that just didn’t make sense. Also Fuuko is Fffffffffffffffffffuuko. There—you got it, the invective I promised not to deliver.

Anyway, since that’s all the anime I’ve watched recently, I guess I’ll move onto juicier topics like my life. (I’m just too squeezable for my own good. Some might even call me ‘fruity.’)

Yesterday I helped SAKI relocate her bunnies to a new home, if you know what I mean. You probably know what I mean because I mean what I’m saying, and words are words. Which have meanings. Yeah. There was lots of bittersweetness for various reasons, but mostly it was a good day. I read the first chapter of Twilight whilst lingering at SAKI’s place and I must say, it’s a Shaft production waiting to happen. The sickening overabundance of adverbity is not so dissimilar from Shaft’s overabundance of Photoshop filters—meaningless, trite, a disguise that obfuscates none of the shittiness beneath the underneath.

Ate some delicious curry chicken katsu for lunch (apparently, SAKI’s family is more weeaboo FUCKING AWESOME even than I, and as such eats Japanese foods with more regularity than I—which is to say, more than once a year at anime conventions), which was accompanied by several doses of “oh my god I need to not laugh my food across the table.” I hummed some Loituma and got someone else at the table to struggle against the urge to laugh food across the table, and just now I broke the limit of cluttery anti-flow a lolikit can inject into a single sentence and it just keeps going oh my god I’m going to turn into Faulkner at this rate can you believe it? Tick-Tock.

But enough about yesterday—which concluded with a slew of torrenting and taquitos—and onto today. Because apparently, I’m just blogging my life here now or something.

This morning, I attended my philosophy lecture (History of Modern Philosophy, as you might recall from my course list; currently we are studying some B.S. Ethics), and for the first time in a long time I doodled something in my notebook that wasn’t abominable. Well, it might be abominable, but I was not abominated by it. Maybe my standards have fallen. Maybe I was just happy.

After that, I met up with a high school friend back from college on spring break. This was immensely pleasurable, as I missed this friend dearly. She noted that I was more comfortable in my outgoingness than I used to be. This may be the result of my time stuck in a cubicle last semester, or it might be the result of some decking action.

Speaking of decks, could I get some WOWers to level for me? Hurr hurr hurr.

I ate lots of pizza in the company of good friends and then I went home to mom to shit out half my fullness and sleep off the other half. Finally I made it back to the dorms, a place I’d been avoiding for a week as I tended my cat for my out-of-town father, unpacked ten gallons of clothing and damp towels, thought briefly about the fact that I hadn’t watched anime in weeks and how glad I was that I had no idea what the fuck was going on in the aniblogosphere, discovered that ghostlightning’s illustrious blog had attained the coveted 100th post, cursed my fate for now knowing some of what was going on in the aniblogosphere, and subsequently shut myself out of my dormroom, sans computer, in a frantic search for SAKI, who had similarly secluded herself away from a computer.

Apparently, she was in the library stacks on campus, in the deepest and darkest corner of the trollbooth, drawing ambiguously gay porn.

… I love my life.

EDIT: yes, yes, I’ll post her drawings, up in the Rule 34 section, once I feel giving. Right now, I’m not sharing. Use comes before generosity. Now to go fap to my potentially female self…

A post full of invectives regarding the shitty ending of Kyoto Animation’s Clannad story is in order, but it is not what I will deliver. Instead I will rant aimlessly about my life, because it’s hella interesting and shit.

This is what I am up to: school. Work. SAKI.

It’s all good in the hood aside from some annoyingly depressing shit that’s going down. Yes, I’m just mentioning it to tantalize the drama queens among you and piss off the anti-drama kings among you. I’m not going to go into any further depth, not in the hopes of being enigmatic and intriguing but just in the hopes of rambling. It’s something to mention in brief and then to rationalize the in-brief-mentioning-of, because I want to take up room, but have no coherent intelligible interesting written words to share with you. This is why I am mentioning the annoyingly depressing shit. I don’t want sympathy.

I WANT WORDS!!

I would find even cooler ways to make this post even more meaningless while preserving its loquacious and overly-verbose nature, but if I get carried away I won’t be able to click “Publish” before midnight and it won’t be Pi Day anymore.

So eat your Ushios, enjoy your nonsense, and celebrate your Pie Overlords.

All is well with the lolikit, and he will return in true form at SOME POINT.
