Party time!

Well, almost. I have 2 exams done, and one more to go before I am free for a very short summer break. Well, short depending on how you look at it. I have just about 3 weeks off to do whatever I want until the next semester, which is going to be a ballbuster, starts.

This means a few things

Firstly, I now will no longer have to feel guilty about reading manga when I am supposed to be studying. I know that the site that I had previously mentioned has been shut down, so here are a few others that should have their content up for a while, and have as much content as OneManga did. Manga Fox , Manga Reader , Manga Volume

This is a big thing too, since I have been reading a lot of manga lately. Read: Mammott! Lollopop!, Loveless, The world only God Knows, Awkward Silence, and a whole bunch of others that I can’t remember the titles of. I’m willing to take suggestions as well!

The summer break also means that I get to go back to playing some Warcraft. I caved this afternoon and logged in on a free trial, and, seriously, I think I now know how it feels when a junkie takes his first hit. it was intense.

Short lived, however. I have done every single starting zone of every single race of both factions that I get so mind-numbingly bored, I have to stop. This is what I am so excited that I managed to get my new priest over the hump of shitty quests (you know, to about level 40) and on to some different stuff. I’m not looking forward to Outlands, but I do want my priest to be 80.

That said, I’m not entirely sure how often I want to play my current 80′s. I’ve been hearing about a lot of negative shit that has been going on when trying to raid, or even just do some heroics. If this is true for my server, it just won’t be happening. I’m getting too old to deal with drama, or bullshit from a lot of the noobs, and the “elite” players. I might be a dying breed, but I’m in it for the game, not the bullshit.

Time off also means that I get to work on, and hopefully finish, the manga draft that I’m working on. Originally the idea that I had was going to be used for a short novel, but the more I fleshed out the plot, the more I feel that something visual is needed to do it justice. It is a damn shame that I can’t draw. Or, not well. Well, some certain things I can draw good, but people are totally out.

So, my summer vacation is almost here, while most people’s is about to end.

Summer tunes are always necessary, and this album (of which this is the title track) is totally rockin my socks.

I’m not actually Carmen Sandiego, but I have been almost like an absentee landlord this past few weeks.

Don’t worry though, it isn’t just my site, but my WoW account, even my facebook has seen less of me. Twitter is the only one untouched since, lets face it, 140 characters take seconds, at best.

Now, in order to be a full time student at my school, you need to be in 3, minimum. Most people take 4 max. You see, it wasn’t exactly my best idea, but turns out I’m in 5 classes this semester. That works out to be about 4 extra hours of class time a week, plus another 6 or so hours of homework, minimum.

See where my life has gone?

I think I’ve got a balance that should work now, and I’ll have to see how it works out. This is sort of my tester week for it.

On another note, I found an old Harry Potter fanfiction that I did WAY back in the day. I’ll post the link up in Scribbles so you can all, essentially, laugh at me. When I say back in the day, I mean about 7 years ago, so between books 5 and 6 (close to 5 though).

I have been trying to do the WoW thing, since I AM the Guild master. We did a Naxx run the other day, with people from another guild. Since ours is so small, we’re thinking about merging guilds. I’m logging on later tonight to see if the other GM and I can come up with something we both like. Hopefully, the ones on my side will get a better name then Typhoon (no, I did not pick the name, I inhereted it)

I leave you with a few vids of songs Ive been listening to at stupid o clock in the morning, and stuff that gets me through the school day. Enjoy!

Busy busy busy! I guess its that time of year. I went to the mall today, and I noticed that, even though Halloween is barely over, the Christmas decorations have sprung up like bad weeds.

I also noticed that my aggravation and general dislike of humanity increases in direct proportion to the amount of people in said mall.

In wow news, I have been focusing on getting my death knight to lvl 80. She’s getting close, and is still fully rested. I went through Howling Fjord this time, and I found I enjoyed the Borean Tundra quests more. Should I manage to get another toon to that level (besides my 72 mage that I have essentially abandoned) I think I will stick with Borean Tundra.

My big news is that I am engaged, and getting married. Wedding planning is a bitch, let me tell you. Especially considerng that I will be doing the actual ceremony in a different province, which makes bookings and whatnot a damn near impossibility.

It’s going to be a good ol’ rock and roll wedding, full of quirkiness and oddities. Oh, and, if I have my way, a tea party.

If you haven’t heard of these guys, I highly recommend that you hop on the wagon, and start enjoying them. They’re called The Gaslight Anthem, and their music is new rock and roll, with a 50′s kick to it. Highly addictive and catchy. His voice sends shivers down my spine, and most songs make me smile.

Another band that I am totally into right now is Paramore. Great songs, fantastic voice and catchy beats. Just the right amount of rock and pop with a dash of attitude.  And, lets face it, she’s goddamn adorable.

Love
