Procrastination

Having just updated the Cake Brigade Blog, I thought I would come over here and talk about none cake related things for a while.

So updates! I have finished on Cardcaptors, both American and Japanese versions with accompanying movies. I have to say, that I enjoyed the Japanese Version much more than I expected to. The whole Sakura/Syaoran storyline was so lovely, and its such a shame that the American version completely cut it out. Don't get me wrong, I understand why, it wouldn't have appealed to the demographic they were going for, but still, it really made you connect with the characters so much more!

Right now, I am very much of the opinion screw Team Edward, Team Syaoran all the way!

So now, I'm on to Tsubasa. I have read up a lot on how confusing this is going to turn out to be, and how the anime doesn't make any sense whatsoever, but at the moment, I'm really enjoying it. Different incarnations of some familiar characters, but I'm still TEAM SYAORAN.

Is it weird that I have a new found appreciation of music in Japanese?


In other news, I'm on a Slim-Fast diet. I'm not doing it how you are meant to; 2 shakes, 3 snacks or whatever, but I don't care, its working for me. I have one shake for lunch, and then my evening meal. So far, my weekends have let me down, but still, I haven't put on weight, and am very slowly losing it from what my infrequent weigh-ins tell me. I feel that Slim-Fast is a great way of character building, because it doesn't half take some will power. So therefore, so far, success!

I'm going to Leeds for a production meeting on Monday, which should be good. Right now, I'm procrastinating for doing some designs to prep for it, as my inability to illustrate what is in my mind is driving me crazy. I have been trying to do one design, one episode of Tsubasa to keep me going, but its just so frustrating, that I'm going to wait until its later and I'm nearly asleep. I used to do that at uni, because it would loosen me up, and also mean I wouldn't care as much, so its a win win. I just want so much to do well at this, but its so hard.

Some people have a talent in drawing. I am not one of those people.
