A Friday Like All Fridays.

My stomach hurts.

Last night we had another big storm. We had a few brown-outs but we didn't lose power. It's a good thing because we don't have many flashlights and I'd have to rely on the light from my Nintendo DS to help me through the darkness.

I finished Vol. 2 of Gokinjo Monogatari and I'm very sorry I don't have the remaining 3-7 books. I almost wish I could sell all my Furuba manga and clear off more shelf space for series I actually like. =_= Why does it have to hurt so bad? ;_;

I received something in the mail at the beginning of the week that I've been waiting for twelve years to see. ^_^;...They finally released the junior high part of the original Captain Tsubasa T.V series on DVD! My code-switchable player is bleeped up and I have to use my Japanese PS2 to play them. The junior high part came in two box sets and the second one just came in. They cost me a bit of money but I'm very happy to be able to see the series in Japanese. I originally watched the Mexican dub and I admit my Spanish is better than my Japanese but there were quite a few lines that didn't make sense in the Mexican dub that I'm finally figuring out in the original language.

Oh, and ha ha, Hefner(weird-haired West German goalie) has the same seiyuu as Dist in Tales of the Abyss. He doesn't talk much but when he does it's pretty funny. I noticed that in the T.V series that Schneider doesn't have a German accent. But man, his voice is high-pitched!

Memories....^o^ Wakashimazu sounds so cute but he's too quiet! Both his and Hyuga-kun's seiyuu do a much better job in the junior high chapter. I remember that in the early episodes that Hyuga mostly sounded like he was reading his lines....^o^

Yeah...so I've bolted ahead in VP2. Alicia, Rufus, Farant and Roland are at level 48. Who knows about the other characters?

I just lost Dylan (he went Super Saiyajin and turned into Brahms! Big surprise!) and Lezard (why is it that none of the other party members have noticed that he's evil?) I'm perturbed that there aren't many likeable characters in this game. =_= Everyone's either evil, has a hidden personality or is some kind of freakish other-worldly being. Where is the humanity? And why is Doofus such a dumbass?

Even though he is SO stupid I feel a little affection for Rufus. But what the hell is up with the fit he threw after Lezard and Brahms disappeared? Alicia's father was beheaded in front of her, her childhood friend turned into a zombie and her mother committed suicide, and here he's whining that he can't trust anyone. Everyone's hiding something from him!

And why hasn't anyone noticed that Lezard's evil? O_O

I can't believe I got to fight that little archer twerp you meet in Valhalla in the original VP! The Material Collection book lists his name as "Ullur," but yeah, whatever his name is. For the life of me when I saw him in VP I couldn't tell if he was male or female and I actually got to kick his ass in VP2! I hope there are more moments like that!
