That Last Post

… was meager.

Rather than enjoying some anime before sleep, I’m going to blurb. How does a 36 hour period feel like 72? Well, without details, it is about diversity, and especially diversity of enjoyment.

I rose this morning with little to do….
…but sit. So I sat…

There are times when seeing is epic and times when eating is insignificant, this was my lesson for the moment. I took out a notepad and began a list… 99 reason I should not anime blog. Roughly 24 reasons in, I thought it unfair, and columnized another heading, 99 reasons I should anime blog.

These lists will surface, eventually, incomplete and unnumbered. In short, the initial 99 reasons are quite amazing, as there are no relations to anime, nor downward thumbs; these are positive aspects, diversities, each fully establish in a life.

The converse list, will be similar, and though blank, atm, it will likely be moments in my experience with anime that influence my desire to blog… this is the sad list, as many of those moments have departed in the cyclical flux of my being, and waiting for another chance to shine in elder eyes that were once intrigued.

I rose this morning, and for a moment, I thought of this blog. Unnatural, I felt, what am I writing here? and why does it feel more comfortable to write with my non-dominant hand, than formulate substance on AloeDream?

Diversity, confinement, and the relation between; a similar circumstance to my own. I believe the premise of AloeDream is movement upstream. Maybe I can anime blog, but I require a separate premise. Editorials are out, summaries are out, the “blog” is overkill for my reflections, meta-meta tastes bad, special purpose is more confined, and day-2-day is disconnecting. Is there any way to cope with diversity? 99 reasons.

As life beams the curve balls, we learn to hit them, but we soon find that we can run only one set of bases.

Ryan A, as in less violent definition of ‘A’mok.

Note: The usage of “should not” is not synonymous with “should stop” :) btw, I’m perfectly fine and nothing “occurred”, simply soft moments of silence, in an unfamiliar environment.

Mornings of Mayheim and Priorities of Fall

Saturday, November 18th, 2006

For most of the series I’ve started watching this fall, I’ve at least hit the 4th episode. I haven’t made anything formal, but some of my interests are getting uninteresting. After taking a glance over the fall season, I was sure I’d have at least 5 solid shows to enjoy until winter, but I took it upon myself to check out more than 5 just in case “things” happen. The start of fall looked something about like this (no order, first col):

Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru :01-02: Bishoujo Kingdom

Friday, October 20th, 2006

A young man (yes that’s a male) embarks on his journey into the land of bishoujo, but alas, the young man must pretend to be a bishoujo himself, and sadly, he makes a fine bishoujo. Traps abound. I quite glad a sub group picked this up, because with everything else I’m currently watching or trying to catch up on, I probably wouldn’t have checked out the raws for Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru. Lucky! I partially knew what to expect out of this, but from left field, I was struck with the force of 1000 bishous, and it felt goood!
