I might, at some point. Since I hit this four-day patch of awesome (read: no work) and running at a breakneck pace not to sleep, I’ve run across some interesting thoughts, sites and anime.
Top 10 ways to un-bake your brain
A site that I found while, well, stressing out. It gave me some tips that I could use and actually work for me.
Productivity@Lifehacker
Hell, while we’re at it, might as well link LH’s Productivity section. Great reads, and not just that section - the whole site!
Thought: “Is society a limiter on what we do, or do we just limit ourselves based on s ome other means?”
Shortly after my roommate, Josie took an artistic nude photography shot of me and submitted it, I’ve gotten a lot of “you’re really brave” type comments. Maybe it’s because I’m an exhibitionist of sorts and I have no problem being naked if it’s not in a complicated situation (read: law-breaking with cops nearby), but I fail to grasp the bravery behind putting myself in front of a camera naked. Granted, I don’t like being in any sort of photography by default, but I enjoyed the ’shoot’ we had doing that.
Thought: “If a sale is launched and no one buys any of the product, do the prices go back up?”
Just a thought brought on by our lovely expense season.
Anime; Recently Completed: Ouran High School Host Club
Quite possibly the only shoujo anime I’ve ever fully watched and enjoyed, OHSHC took me by complete surprise - not an easy task, considering that I’ve been watching anime for the last 11 years. It has a crazy blend of comedy (in-jokes within itself and lended from other anime, such as Rahxephon) romance (a third of the male main cast is after one of the leads, while said person is not only oblivious but posing as a guy) and action (how often is the most shouta character the oldest and voted most likely to be a WMD?) that I haven’t seen before.
Anime; Recently Completed: Claymore
Pure action, with a touch of anguish and a heavy dash of revenge is the theme of Claymore. Claymores (the moniker given to them by normal humans) are a halfbreed of humans and yoma (demons) - who slay the latter for the former, all the while trying not to cross over the edge and becoming yoma themselves. How could that happen? Well, each Claymore uses yoki (think of it as a type of energy) in addition to their superhuman physical power, and the type of yoki they use determines their ’special’ abilities (one is the ability to move fast enough to create a phantom image). If they tap into it too much, though, they become a yoma themselves. It’s hard to say much without giving it away, but it turned out better than I thought at the beginning.
