I am thinking I might have to start blogging every day again. It seems to be the only way I can blog consistently, and as it is something I really enjoy, why not? Obviously you don't have to read it, it will probably be a load of fangirling shit anyway.
My boss is away until tomorrow, so I have being providing holiday cover again over the weekend.
I'm bored.
I finished all my work on Friday, played like 20 games of spider solitaire, got tired of people and traffic watching, researched Japanese cuisine, finished the two mangas I was reading simultaneously rather than finishing Hana Kimi, and the last episode of Season 1 of Liar Game is taking forever to buffer (I'm not going to tell you about it here, I'll leave that sort of stuff for their own posts, so that way the uninterested can skip them easier.). I have to go to the bank and post office in a bit, and I'm actually looking forward to it, purely for the change of scenery.
I might have to get a new laptop with loads of memory so I can put The Sims on it ... that always used to kill HOURS. Or I could finish my book .... ahem.
Brief interlude. There is a crazy man outside waving a stick furiously at the traffic. It would be less weird if he wasn't laughing semi-manically. People are odd.
I'm being super good on my 'diet' (it gets inverted commas because it isn't so much a diet as semi starvation). I don't have anything during the day unless its copious amounts of tea, and then I have whatever I want for dinner. I thought it was paying off when I weighed myself and found I had lost nearly 1.5kg from Wednesday to Sunday, but then I weighed myself not on carpet (and clothed) and it told me I hadn't lost anything. So now I don't know what to believe.
There is absolutely no point to this post. It was just a means for me to kill 20 minutes until lunch.

Let's Catch Up
So, uh, it's been a while. How have you been?
Me? I'm good, thanks. Just finished work on another couple of shoots. One was a one day shoot making a promo for a sky channel, and the other was a two day shoot for a short film. Both with pretty much the same crew, and both in the same tiny market village in the middle of Oxfordshire. Both were fun, albeit it not very challenging for me, as for the majority of the time, there wasn't any continuity to look out for which is a big part of my job.
On the other hand though, it was quite rare that everyone seemed to get on so well on such a short shoot. Sure, I know that most of these people have worked together before, but I didn't really feel like the odd one out, which was lovely. I really hope that I get more work from this team in the future, and a few things that were said in passing make me very hopeful indeed, but as usual, only time will tell.
So, yeah, the last week or so has been pretty hectic. Before that? The other couple of weeks in which I neglected to blog? Nah, I have no idea what I was doing. Probably just watching Kurosagi and ploughing my way though a lot of short mangas rather than finishing Hana Kimi. Yeah ... that sounds about right.
I just finished watching Kurosagi. I'm left somewhat dissatisfied. It just ended. If there is going to be a second season, then awesome, but in terms of the story reaching a conclusion, there are definitely a lot of loose ends left to be tied. It was good, don't get me wrong, but these serious J-dramas always take longer to get through than the more light hearted ones, even though the episodes are the same length and the series the same number of episodes.
Its about a man, Kurosaki, who cons swindlers out of everything they have and gives the money back to the victims, sort of like Robin Hood, although not a selfless. Its all for revenge, as his father was conned and as a result got in to such financial shit that he murdered his wife and daughter before killing himself, leaving his son alone. A young law student, Tsurara, moves next door and generally gets in the way by being all righteous. Obviously she begins to fall for him, even though he is having none of it. That's it. He doesn't get the girl, he doesn't get his revenge, he just carries on like normal, or so we must assume. See why this would be a bit frustrating?
Mostly, I watched it because of the guy who played Kurosaki, who was Akira in Nobuta Wo Produce. Tsurara was also in Nobuta, also having being in Atashinchi No Danshi. Tsurara's friend and rival for Kurosaki's attention was Sawada's sister in Gokusen.
Now I'm on to Liar Game. I think this is a serious one too, and there are two series, so it may take me a while.
Ive progressed by about two chapters on Hana Kimi, although I have read about 15 other mangas in the mean time. Not that there is anything wrong with Hana Kimi; I just got a little bored of it.
