Why so serious.

Well I had a pretty cool weekend. Hanging out with Neil and Haku is always a great laugh, mostly blazing GTA races, Ikaruga and the usual Naruto 3.
MCM was its usual self, but continued the declining level of enjoyment I recieve from each one. It's still amusing enough to see all the cosplayers and have a look at what's on offer, and in the end it's something for us to do other than sitting around playing games all day. But the annoying kids, socially awkward shut-ins and arrogant assholes that take themselves too seriously were out in full force, and that'll certainly put a downer on any event.
After Neil left on Sunday I went to see the new Indiana Jones film with Haku and Paul, on a totally spur of the moment thing, and found it to be a surprisingly good movie. Still no patch on the classics, and could have done with a whole lot less of George Lucas and his novelty characters and sci-fi overkill, and a whole lot more of Steven Spielberg and his quality skills.

I started watching Ichigo Mashimaro a few days ago, and it's just as funny as all the hype suggests. I'm really having to pace myself so I don't blast through the unfortunately short 12 episode series too quickly.
I also started watching Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, an absolute blast from the past which has really surprised me with how addicted it has me. At first I just wanted to check it out along with Tenchi Universe after reminiscing about the good ol' Toonami days of school, so many years ago. I was just expecting some nostalgia lulz and for that to be the end of it, especially as it's a lengthy 49 episodes, but the classic art style, unfiltered nostalgia and typcial Gundam politics has got me hooked. I think this'll be an awesome series for me to encode and put on my iPod to watch during my lunch breaks.

Tomorrow I'll be heading into London with Bertie and the clan for some shits and giggles at the X Factor auditions. After managing to charm his was past one of the co-owners of SONY he's in for a chance to face David Cowell and test his worth. In the name of the Emperor I pray he gets that oppertunity.
