The Bleh Blues.

[secondlina]

Sorry for the lack of posts - I was unable to acces my LJ until late Saturday (because of those DDSO attacks or something). I am also rather depressed it seems.

I really can't shake off this feeling of suck and sad I'm having. I'm completely unmotivated. I feel pretty sad and silly and worthless. Like i'm disconnected from my body. I don't even really feel like drawing much anymore.

Es tu blues of the bleh?

Hopefully this will clear out soon. If not, help. This is pretty horrible and weird.

In a more unbeat note (kinda) I re-watched The vision of Escaflowne during my weekend of utter Bleh. I really like that series better, now that I am seeing it again. It's a very sad series. Not just the ending where Van and Hitomi go their separate ways. The whole series seems dipped in sadness and nostalgia. The music is very beautiful. I used to be pretty puzzled by Hitomi's character (mainly, the fact that she left Van) but now that I see the series again I really understand her character better and I find that I like her a lot. And she left Gaia because her presence there meant impending Atlantian doom. Seems like a good reason to leave - protecting your love's world. Heck, apparently, they still get to see each other once in a while, so it's cool.

Dornkirk, the main villain, is apparently Isaac Newton. I mean really? Isaac Newton? Most. Obscur. Villain. Choice. Ever.

The songs are so pretty.

I think i'm tired. I shall go sleep!

I sympathize with your bleh blues. Mine comes from a lack of employment opportunities around here. :P

The only time I saw Escaflowne was back when it was airing on the Saturday morning Fox Kids block with heavy edits (including changed music). I didn't like it then, but maybe I'd enjoy it if I saw the uncut version.


By the way, what's a "DDSO attack"?

Yeah, that really sucks for you! I was actually wondering how the job search was going...

check out the uncut version online. It's more 'shojo' then the english dub (that was aimed at younger male kids for some reason when the original was for a pre-teen to teen mixed audience...) and it's quite fun!

It happened this eek to twitter, facebook and LJ. Itdidn't block everyone, just a few people.

Well, I currently have a part time job. But, sadly, full time work is hard to come by in California right now. I'm still looking, so keep your fingers crossed for me!


It's weird how so many kids networks in the mid-1990s collectively decided: "Hey, we need some cool Japanese cartoons for boys! But, instead of licensing a boys show, we should pick up the girliest shows we can find and chop them up until they vaguely resemble a dude's action show! It'll be like printing money!!"


Wow. I've never even heard the term DDOS attack before today. It sucks that some losers have noting better to do than "stick it to the man" by doing stuff like that. :P

Escaflowne is kindoff a mixed audience show. They could have left it alone and gyus would have still watched it just fine. There's like.... one episode of girlyness for every 3 awesome robot fighting scenes. But I guess any sign of girly is a weakness!

I agree about them picking up girly shows and turning them into guy shows. Card Captor, anyone? It's like they bought it not knowing at all who Clamp was (because if they did they would have stayed miles away from the show - homosexuality, magical powers, chinese religion, girlyness, frilly costumes, inter-aged love? YEAH. Young pre-teens of america with penises will love this.)

DDOS definitly screams loser out to piss you off for no reason.

I keep my fingers crossed for you! I really hope you get a job soon. But I would figure they would have plenty of jobs when it comes to taking care of kids. Or is California one of those states, like New York, where there is sectors with basically NO children at ALL?
