 Yes, I know I am an exceedingly lazy poster. Feel free to kill me.
But while the first episode of Kyou Kara Myou (a series that Dagger recommended to me- and knowing Dagger's tastes, I'm going to enjoy it) finishes, I thought I'd post. Wow.
Anyways, this post will be split up into two parts, since I couldn't decide which topic to ramble about.
---------------------------------------
Well, I think the writer's block has finally died. Actually I can't decide whether or not it was actually writer's block, or just a complete lack of confidence in my writing.
Writing has just felt so frustrating lately. Which sucks, since it's such a big part of my life. Plus, I don't share my work anymore, because it just gets torn to shreds. There's nothing constructive in telling someone to "tear it up and throw it away," or that "your work is mediocre at best." Not to mention "cliche." Cliche is a terrible word to use; a coward's word, so to speak. When you don't tell me what's cliche and why, it just seems like you're hiding behind that oh-so-convinient word so as to get out of actually making decent edits on my paper. And the funny thing is, they don't accept the edits anyone else gives them. When my harshest editor got a negative critique from someone, she threw it away.
So, I'm going to try harder at this writing thing, rather than being so shy about it. I'll try short stories, since I've convinced myself I'm horrid at them. Well, when I finish one, will you guys look at it?
----------------------------------------
On a much lighter note, I watched all of the Rurouni Kenshin: The Legend of Kyoto story arc this weekend. And I can see why fans say it's the best part of the series. I enjoyed it very much, and it was packed with some great duel sequences, as well as some obscenely cool characters.
Speaking of obscenely cool, RK's version of Hajime Saitou rocks. I like him just as much as PMK's version of Saitou; but strangely enough, he reminds me of Hijikata! The only thing that bothered me about Saitou was... the hair. I wanted him to shampoo -_-
And did anyone notice how Shishio managed to repeat the same phrase about 16 times in each episode? "In the end, only the fittest survive in this world. If you are strong, you live. If you are weak, you die." And if you have a badass sounding catchphrase, you torture the viewers with it. One more time and I would have ended up as screwed up as Soujiro.
Speaking of Soujiro.. he's SO an Okita fanboy. Don't try to talk me out of it. Heh, he's cute, though, and a very interesting character. But still... fanboy.
The DVDs I had also had outtakes from the voice actors. It was highly amusing to hear them try to say things like "Hiten Mitsurugi," haha. But the funniest one was still Saitou saying, "It's all about the bling-bling." Totally random. But still funny.
---------------------------------------
That concludes my rambles. Have a nice day!
