A Short Break From...Everything
Gah...I don't want school to start again. =P I've been so busy these past few days. Yesterday I had to spend most of the day wandering around Wal-Mart and Cellular One with my father, so that we could get maintenance done on the car and buy me a cell phone respectively. Aiya...It's too hot and I'm not feeling well enough to deal with this, on top of spending most of the last two or three days running back and forth from SIU.
Then, last night I had to go through my schedule and get all my books and things together. Then I spent a while trying to figure out when I'd have time to eat lunch, go pick up more text books from my car, etc, for each day of the week ('cause my schedule's different each day =P) While I was doing that, I dug out the blank audio cassettes I bought the other day and recorded some anime music to listen to while I'm driving to and from school...Yeah, my father's/my car is an older model and only has a cassette deck (plus the radio), so I can't listen to my CDs. =P I got two 120 minute tapes, which actually works pretty well. That's 60 minutes on each side, and it's about a 60 minute drive from here to SIU. Of course, the first one that I made had all the Yuugiou vocals. *Nods* Yup, this is my new obsession. All things Yuugiou...except the dub =P
Speaking of Yuugiou, I got my copy of the 1st DVD box set on Saturday! Yes, that was the one bright moment in that day...coming home to find that nice little package containing my new HK DVDs. Thank heaven for ANIMEniacs! I watched the whole set today and I have two words to describe it: subtitled Yuugiou *Drools* Yeah, the subs were kinda goofy, but that's better than nothing. Though some of the name mix-ups they came up with were kind of amusing...They called Jounouchi 'Sugoroku' (Yugi's grandfather's name) for several episodes...plus, they called Ryou 'Meulung' (or some such spelling) for most of the set! *L* And I officially love the Japanese voice cast. Kaiba's voice is just yummy. ^^ Plus, a non-Brooklyn-accented Jounouchi is simply wonderful. And of course, I have to mention Yugi and Ryou. Yugi's was a little different than I'd expected, but was good, while Ryou's was adorable. ^^ And Pegasus! *ROTFL* His tone, his random use of English phrases, his habit of calling everyone "boy" (i.e. "Yugi boy", "Kaiba boy"), and his generally eccentric attitude are just plain amusing. ^__^ Besides Pegasus, I managed to get even more attached to Kaiba and Jounouchi...They both pull the "big brother" act so nicely despite being 'tough guys'...and Yugi's just precious. After his 2nd duel with Kaiba, when he broke down and started crying, I just wanted to pick him up and hold him...It's easy to see why everyone's so protective of him! You just can't resist. ^_^
*Sigh* I feel a little better, having spent today immersed in Yuugiou, but I'm still irritated/nervous about school starting tomorrow. I wish that I didn't have to go. *Whines*
