Hello one and all, it's been quite a while now since I've blogged about anything personal and since it's almost midnight where I am I decided that now is the perfect time to write a blog that practically nobody will read.

And for all of you out there saying "Alright, I'm here. Now where the hell is my free cake?" I'm afraid I must inform you that the cake is a lie.

You have to admit you kind of walked right into that one.

*Ducks as various objects are thrown at him*

Alright then, now that you're all here you might as well stick around for the rest, right?

*Everyone walks out of the room*

....Well I kind of walked right into that one too....

Anyway!

So I recently joined a scanlation group called Trinity BAKumA as a translator. So far we've only done Fairy Tail and Beelzebub but I think we're doing a good job considering that there's only three of us in the group. Now I don't know how many of you will find this fascinating, since a majority of people who read my blogs are in the Fairy Tail Union and already know about the group.

So school's just as enjoyable as ever...which isn't saying much.

I've got two midterms next week that I still haven't studied for, I have to read Hamlet and write a paper about it in about two weeks, and a bunch of other miscellaneous redundant tasks that a trained monkey could accomplish and yet for some reason college students are still required to do in order to pass a cl@ss

Doing these random task's for cl@ss credit almost makes me feel like Pavlov's dog.

This weekend I have to go to my sister's wedding, and for some reason that I still have yet to comprehend she wants me to be one of the groomsmen. I have to rent an uncomfortable tux which I will only wear for one day while I'm standing in front of a large group of people without doing much of anything (which, once again, a trained monkey could do).

After that I have to spend many hours with my sister and her friends as they go around to random bars getting drunk off their @sses.

Oh yeah, this weekend is goings to be great.

The one silver lining in the whole mess is that I convinced them to let me bring a friend along with me.

Well as much as I complain I am glad to see my sister get married to a decent guy and I hope they have a very happy life together somewhere that is very, very, far away from me. Though I do wonder sometimes why they decided to get married.

.....

And now for something completely different!

Next week I have my Fall break so I'll have two extra days off of school. My friends are going to be staying with me at my house and we're going to be spending the weekend doing whatever the hell we feel like which I'm really looking forward to.

Well I'm all our of witty banter and complaints....for now. So I suppose this marks the end of today's blog.

Good night everybody!

Hello my friends its been quite a while hasn't it?

So I'm here today to offer you guys an amazing opportunity. A chance to join the exclusive Fairy Tail Union!

Alright so we're not so much an exclusive club as we are lacking members.

The Fairy Tail Union is a union here on gamespot that is dedicated to the increasingly popular series Fairy Tail created by Hiro Mashima, the creator of the also popular Rave Master. You may or may not have seen the review I wrote about it waaaaaay back last year.

We just celebrated our one year anniversary and we're looking to bring in more members.

And what better way to do that then with blatant advertising?

So if you are interested in joining (and who wouldn't be?) then leave a comment and I'll send you an invitation. I hope to see you guys around soon!

Also here's a link in case you're curious.

(Happy now Nic? )

Hello my friends. So, as those of you on the Fairy Tail union know I've been drawing lately. Mostly Soul Eater characters.But anyways I thought I'd show off my artistic skills. So here we go:

Let's start off with something simple:

Shinigami-sama! My first attempt at drawing.

Next we move up in difficulty:

Medusa, also from Soul Eater. This is her new look from the latest chapter that I just felt like drawing. I think it turned out pretty good.

Next we have what I think is my best one yet:

Maka, the main character of Soul Eater. This is from one of the latest chapters. I put a lot of work into this one.

Next:

Death the Kid, I wasn't as satisfied with this one. I think I kind of screwed up on the head.

Finally my latest work, a non-Soul Eater character for a change and my first request:

Buggy from One Piece. I think it went pretty well.

So let me know what you think. Like it? Love it? Hate it?

Give me some opinions. But remember, my feelings get hurt very easily.

I can't make any promises but if you want to make requests for characters for me to draw then I wouldn't mind doing it in my spare time.

See you later.

*sigh*

Oh, hey there guys.

...

What? So I'm not my energetic self like usual. But if you went through the same week that I've been going through then you would be mentally exhausted too.

Oh the woes of the college student. Far be it from me to complain (note: sarcasm) but this week has beaten the will to live right out of me.

I'm sure my fellow college goers out there can relate.

WARNING: If you wish to skip my rant (which I highly recommend) then please skip over this next section:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let us recap my week so far:

I had to write two papers for the same class both due within a class period of each other and my professor had only informed us of them a week prior to when they were due. In addition I also have a test in that class as well which my professor was also kind enough to inform us about five days before it was due. So now I had to read three chapters in the book that we only briefly covered in class.

But wait there's more!

In another class, I had to write a major paper (a rough draft mind you) that I pretty much didn't put any effort into before turning it in so I expect a bad grade on that. I now have to peer review two other papers, in addition to my own, for the final draft by Tuesday and finish the final draft by Thursday.

Time for another source of stress!

I had yet another test in another class last week that required me to read five chapters in a short period of time. The test was brutal and it's a personal relief that it's over.

In my Japanese class, we have daily vocab quizzes that really aren't that bad. But coupled with the rest of my workload and it's starting to become taxing. I also need to finish about another six hours in the foreign language lab before the end of the semester and finish the first few chapters of exercises in my workbook.

Finally I have a project to do in statistics that requires me to use a new statistical program called SPSS (think MicrosoftExcel only retarded) which I only just figured out how to use (sort of). And that's all due by tomorrow.

So that's it for classes but I have more stress to deal with such as:

Completeing my required community service hours for this semester, picking out my classes for next semester, finding a roommate for next semester, finidng a job for summer break, keeping up with my studying, and preparing for finals next month.

*sigh*

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok rant over, if you skipped it then let me give you a brief summary:

I've had a lot of crap to do.

By the end of this week I was like this:

Kind of graphic but otherwise pretty accurate.

So yeah, I just felt like ranting so feel free to ignore this blog if you want. Don't want to sound like whiner or anything.

That's all, hope you guys are having a better time then I am! See you later.

Hey there loyal fans, I'm back with yet another review. Only this time I not reviewing or anime/manga. Well I sort of am.

This reviews subject is:

That's right, Dragonball Evolution.

I tracked down a bootleg of it online, the entire thing was low quality and a few chunks of seconds were cut out of various scenes but I got the overall jist of it.

Now before you freak out and go into pure hatred mode, let me say this. I fully intend to give this movie the same chance as I have every other anime/movie/manga/book/etc. that I have ever watched or read.

Now without further ado:

Dragonball Evolution

2000 years ago the dark lord Picollo and the giant ape Oozaru battled and as a result of their conflict, the entire human race was almost wiped out. Seven monks managed to seal away Picollo at the cost of their own lives.

Back to modern day, we meet a young Goku. A high school student with superhuman abilities that lives with his grandfather Gohan. He's an awkward kid who doesn't fit in at school and doesn't have any friends. On his birthday, his grandfather gives him the four-star dragonball and tells him the legend. There are seven dragonballs scattered across the world and if you gather them all you are granted one perfect with.

Meanwhile, Picollo has broken free from the seal that held him somehow and is now hunting for the dragonballs around the world and eliminating anyone who gets in his way. He eventually comes to Gohan in search of the four-star ball but when he discovers that it isn't there he kills Gohan. Goku, who had been at a party, rushes back home in time to be with his grandfather in the last few seconds of his life.

What follows is a journey to search for the dragonballs and to defeat Piccolo. Along the way, Goku gains allies such as Bulma, the daughter of the Capsule Corporation CEO. Master Roshi, who trains Goku. And Yamcha, a goofy thief.

Together they mus......

You know what? No!

I tried, I really did but that sentence is where my patience ran out. This movie SUCKS! S-U-C-K-S!

I can forgive them for not making Bulma's hair blue. I can forgive them for turning Piccolo yellow. I can even forgive them for getting rid of Krillin.

But I can not forgive them for turning Goku into some whiny, awkward, social outcast high school student that no one seems to understand!

This is not Dragonball, this is Hollywood's latest attempt to churn a buck out of a popular franchise at the expense of the fans.

The scenes have absolutely no flow. The entire thing is rushed. One minute Goku is at a party beating up some bullies and ten minutes later Bulma is trying to shoot him. They tried to take the first few story arcs of the original series and compress it into an hour and a half of stupid jokes, cheap special effects, crappy fight scenes, and a story so pathetically slapped together that it leaves the viewer wondering what the heck they just saw?

What really ticks me off is that this was supposed to a movie for the fans yet it doesn't even seem like they made any attempts to keep the original material. Sure the dragonballs are in there and it's the same basic plot.

But if you take away the dragonballs and replace them with some other all powerful ancient artifact and change the character names then there is no way that anyone could recognize this as Dragonball.

Fans new this was going to happen. They've been doing it to comic books for years and now they've moved on to anime. I died a little inside when I saw this movie. They managed to do what everyone knew they were going to do when they first heard this movie was going to be made.

Way to go FOX! Thanks for angering fans across the globe!

I give this movie a:

-2/5

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm sorry, I really tried to give this movie a chance because I didn't want to be one of those whiny fans that gets mad whenever something like this happens. But this movie just made me mad. Half way through I wished that I actually drank, because alcohol is the only way I could have sat through this movie without getting mad.

*sigh*

To think, these are the people who will be making the Cowboy Bebop movie.

Well my rant is over, I leave you this little tidbit of information:

They implied at the end of the movie that there will be a sequel. And guess what? They're already talking about a script.

You hear that?

That's the sound of Dragonball fans all over the world facepalming themselves.
