A blog post

I watched Voices of a Distant Star last night, and it wasn't all that great. Everything was well drawn and animated apart from the characters, who looked incredibly amateur. I almost ditched it alltogether after two minutes, but as it was only twenty five minutes long I decided to sit it out. It was alright, but I won't be going back to it any time soon. Or ever.

I also downloaded the first episode of the Japanese drama Akihabara@DEEP and sat down to that yesterday. It sounded good on paper, following the adventures of a bunch of otaku in Akiba. But it was so desperately over the top that it was rather painful to watch, but as it's so lauded I've decided to stick with it and see where it goes, hopefully it at least doesn't get any worse, not that I actually think that's possible.

At least my driving lesson today was shit hot, I drove like a god damn... person with a driving licence. I was matching the revs bang on with every gear change and pulling away at the busiest of roundabouts beautifully, the whole drive was brilliantly smooth and controlled. With that sorted out I'm totally prepared to piss off to this intensive course in Blackpool as soon as I've passed my theory.
Those five days away is the oasis in the desert that is my calendar. Occupied all day with driving, with nothing but the beach and a book to distract me in the evening, it sounds like absolute bliss.
