Ve haf vays of making you vork.
Jan. 6th, 2003 07:18 pmOr, in something more closely resembling English, I've been doing quite a lot of work recently. Most of it to make up for not understanding last term's courses because I was either:
Thus, work is being done now. Also, I didn't get my computing project done during the summer because I didn't know it'd be in so soon... well, if I work hard, I can get everything done before it has to be handed in, and possibly even before I go back to college.
Rowing itself is out, for at least next term, and maybe for the rest of my time at university. Too tiring. Can't stand early mornings. I should've learnt from dev squad, where I regularly almost dozed off during our warmup in the boat. Oh, and (though this may be too much typing) my wrists regularly ache, as do random back, arm and leg muscles... enough whinging. I told the people on our anime club's IRC channel that I wasn't rowing next term, and one of them congratulated me. That fits with what most people I know think about rowers... they think they're insane. Couldn't agree more. :D
Went to see family in York, and to see the pantomime at the York Theatre Royal - much better than last year's, and David Leonard's little rant at the end ("I've been playing the villain for fifteen years, and every year I get killed off!") was wonderful. And I got a Wagon Wheel, too. They throw them into the audience before the curtain call, you see.
Anyway, in York I finally found a Claire's Accessories shop that sells Neopets merchandise, and I bought a Doglefox plushie (which, thanks to my dad's comment, is now called "Zaphod Doglephox") and two expensive notepads that had Rare Item Codes. Those are codes that, if you type them in in a certain area on the Neopets site, allow you to get rare items that can't be bought in the Neopets shops. I haven't opened them yet, as I'm not quite sure where they are... lost on my floor or shelves somewhere, I think.
And today, in the middle of writing out Methods notes, I finished the first Sailor Moon series. The whole thing about Tuxedo Kamen being brainwashed was quite a good plot line, I think, and the way they got him out of it was quite effective, too... I bet you never knew the light from a music box could be that powerful. :)
Still... they killed off /everyone/. Okay, Luna and Artemis were left alive (and I hope that we see some chemistry between them at some point, whether in R or in the S movie. Diana can't come from nowhere, can she? ;), and so were civilians like Usagi's family, but... they killed off all the Senshi. And Tuxedo Kamen. And then Usagi. And THEN... they all came back to life. Now that part wasn't very well explained - Luna described it as "things being as they were before", and since Naru doesn't seem confused by events happening again, or by meeting Mamoru for the first time once more, it looks like they really did set time back for a while. That, of course, makes me wonder... surely the Dark Kingdom would reemerge this time around, too? But that's a question best left unanswered, I suppose. Ah well, let's hope that my R episodes are watchable. I've seen Super already, and SuperS... that's apparently more done for laughs than for anything else. Stars, though, I want to see. More Haruka and Michiru! Yay!
Oh, and yesterday I discovered that many Hikaru no Go fangirls are scary. No, not all of them - I happen to be one, and I'm not all that scary - just the ones who write overly emotional, totally OOC fanfics with English so bad that I really do hope it's not their first language. Although there was one rather amusing fic - it called itself a "spamfic", which is a good sign that the author doesn't take themself seriously - that paired up Hikaru and Touya Akiko (Touya Akira's mother). Very amusing, although it'll take me a while to be able to watch HnG again.
- On the river, rowing.
- Half asleep in lectures and supervisions, because I'd got up at 5am three days a week to go rowing, and went to bed at 11pm-2am like normal.
- Asleep in my bed when I should have been at lectures, because I'd got up at 5am etc. etc.
