Day 04 — Your Favourite Book

Favourite book would probs either be "Ubik", "A Scanner Darkly" or "The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch", all by Philip K Dick.

However, if you wish to count manga volumes as a book, then it would a three way tie between Bleach, One Piece and Gantz!

I Don't THINK I Can Beat... I ALREADY HAVE!!!!

Aizen quite honestly came out with the best quote EVERRR this week!! Manga definitely seems to have picked up recently!! Totally can't wait to see old man Yama go bankai!! Gonna be a full on supanova!!! No way Wonderweiss will be able to handle it!! Do want Gin to get involved soon though... he aint doing jack atm!! Needs to get into the fray!!


Why isn't Sakura dead yet!? She's the biggest joke, all she ever does is get in the way!! Easily one of the most useless characters in history!! I'm purely hoping for Naruto to lose control over nine tailed fox soon and just stomp on her!! Useless bitch!!

Bakuman is annoying me, wish they'd stop writing this stupid gag manga crap and start one something better alraeady!! Niizuma had best bring out his clause and cancel it!! Full on blag!! =/!!

FORCED BETRAYAL!!!

Those two words are the only way to explain how awesome Aizen is in Bleach atm!! Not only is he the king of betrayals, just slaying people on his own side without a second though but he's even shady enough to use his freaking Kyoka Saigetsu to get people to carry out betrayals without even knowing it!! Not just that but he managed to remove one of the most annoying characters ever in one of the most awesome moments EVER!!

Naruto was annoyiong this weak, I hope sakura gets her face chidori'd off!! Also.. why the crap hasn't Rock Lee got any action lately!? He finally actually goes out on a mission with some of the main guys and ends up getting knocked out with sleeping gas or some shit by sakura!! LAME!!!

One Piece was pretty sweet this weak, it isnt too often you actually see a character die in manga but Portgas D. Ace got fully pwnd!! No chance youre gonna recover from a molten fist to the chest which pretty much punches a hole through... even if this isn't actually apparently possible, as I've been informed that fire is in fact hotter then lava.. although I'm not 100% sure if this information is true.. so i'll just take one piece as fact... can't really dispute the fact that Ace is dead so.... =/!!

As for Gantz.... SO EPIC!!! I was reading through the latest chapter wondering... wtf is going on?! Basically was just following all of Kurono's class mates and teachers and how they were all coping with it then.... BAM! He starts getting transferred, presumably back to the Gantz room!! Actually can't wait for the next chapter!! I am really not looking forward to Gantz ending... I don't know how long is left but I do know that this arc is apparently the last one!! Booooo!!!


And how could I forget about Full Metal Alchemist!! Shit just went down with the original homunculi managing to get himself a body by sacrifing a crap amount of people and you just know he's gonna crack some skulls!! Can't fault the storyline atm, I literally have no idea where this is gonna go, I mean.... how do you stop someone who has apparently managed to contol the power of God?!?! Not just that but I'm pretty sure he's taken Alphonse's body... can't see Ed wanting to fight him much! Should make for sweeeeet reading though!


I've been trying to find some new manga to read... probs isn't the best time to be trying to do this whilst I have soooooo much final year work to do but.... you gotta relax some how right?! haha. I have started reading Beelzebub, which is one of the funniest mangas I've read for a while!! The comedy sorta reminds me of that in One PIece and Gin Tama but the fighting in it is just standard brawling which is pretty sweet!!!

Ima Planner...

And this means that I am a pro at revising just the sufficient amount to ensure that I get the percentage in exams I need to get what I want...

This hasn't, however, seemed to be the case in my first two years of uni... having 4 resits each year, I feel that I have perfected my technique however for my coming exam on saturday... that is correct, I have a saturday exam at 9.30am!! My uni BLOWS!!!

And so here I am now, unable to sleep and doing a little late night revision, memorising the things which will ensure I score a solid 60% in this God foresaken exam and see me take another step closer to the realms of a 2:1 degree result!!!

Watched alot of films recently... were so many I never got round to seeing last year!! Can't believe I never saw Jennifer's Body in the cinema, that film was PENGGGG!!! And Paranormal Activity wasn't too shabby!! Got me and my lovely lady on edge watchin that at 3am!! Don't think I'm ever gonna be able to look at my spare room the same again late at night!!! hahaha.

Slowly making progress with my new years resolution/goal of breaking the 20,000G mark. Finally got round to playing Mass Effect, which is a bosting game but... the combat engine in it sucks and realllyyyyy grinds on me!! I got irritated real bad tonight and just had to turn my xbox off before I destroyed my controller!! I also recently encountered the glitch in FIFA10 where you sign for a new club only to find that they have a club buget of NEGATIVE €2billion... which sucked... HARD!!! I do fear that my gaming time is gonna be HEAVILY limited this uni term though sadly! =[!! Got a CRAP amount of coursework to do, including my 10,000word dissertation and as well as at least 4 group courseworks which are the bane of my existence!!! Its the first time I've actually felt stressed for agesssssss!!!

But I've got the love of my life to help me through it and a lovely holiday in Florida awaiting me after my final exams are dead and buried in May... Which can't come soon enough!! Feels like my skin hasn't seen the sun in farrrrrrr toooooo long!!!!

To wrap this up... I shall be getting my new tattoo sketched up at Modern Body Art Acome Tuesday, which is all rather exciting and can't wait for some fresh ink!! Gonna be KILLAAAAA!!!!

PEACE!!

For some reason last year... I didnt't listened to all that much Pop-Punk, and I have no idea why!! My library playlists seem to have been taken over by Screamo/Post-Hardcore/Whatever-You-Wanna-Call-Em bands. I have no complaints at all though, 2009 has had one hell of a soundtrack and if 2010 has half the soundtrack 2009 did... its gonna be another buzzing year!!!

Honorable Mentions of 2009

Freshman 15 - Throw Up Your Hands For One Night Stands

UVERworld - AwakEVE

Polar Bear Club - Chasing Hamburg

Most Disappointing Albums of 2009

Brand New - Daisy

Taking Back Sunday - New Again

At the start of 2009 I physically couldn't wait for these albums... and when they came I died a little inside. I really have no idea why everyone was raving about Brand New's album so much... I don't get the hype and think that people have been saying its awesome to save face! haha.

As I mentioned earlier, my top album list didn't really consist of much pop-punk... and I would say that I got my fix last year through EPs and Mini-Albums!! Was sooooo many good EPs last year... And nothing beats short and sweet!!!

Favourite Moments in Manga of 2009

Favourite Bleach Moment has to be when Ichigo Perfect Hollowfication after Ulquiorra punched a hole through him!! Easily one of my fave fights in manga!!

.

Favourite Naruto moment of the year is simply gonna be when Naruto breaks out of Pain's Chibaku Tensei with 8 tails!!

Favourite moment in One Piece this year is probably... well I actually have no idea. One Piece has been immense this year... literally non-stop attempt to try and save Ace... Can't wait for more this year!!

Finally, this...

Here's to another glorious year, just like 2009, which was quite easily the best ever!!!
