Meow!

I'm a cat!

Anyhoo, just a lazy update because I feel obliged to let everyone know that I am still actually alive. I get up today and do my usual thing, you know, brush my teeth, make breakfast etc. before turning on the television, and when I turn it on, there is mass rage over this drugs and crime in professional sport and such, and all I can think is a mass *facepalm*. I mean the timing of this report is just oh so convenient, given the soccer fixing and Essedon football scandal. It is a horrible thing to hear about, but really? Why now?! For all we know, this research was probably completed months ago, but was withheld only until now, to make a bigger splash on the audience.

On that note, I am truly upset about there being an 8 month election campaign...I already hate the fact that I have to take time out of my weekend to vote between a muppet and...another muppet. I would much rather see non-fictional characters such as pikachu and captain feathersword to run for Prime Minister, because quite frankly, their non-existence would already be a great big step up from what is currently running Australia.

On to the usual, I am still going through my Harlequin phase! They are really quick and easy to read, and man, I wish those men in the stories were real, because if they were, I would be right onto them!

Anyways, that's about it for now, until next time: :)

Shanimuni GO

So, as previously mentioned I have read Shanimuni GO by Ragawa Marimo, well what's released of it. I found out that it was 32 volumes long and completed but only 7 volumes have been scanlated and released in English. So Shanimuni GO is about Ide Nobuhisa (who will now be just Ide) and Takita Ruui, both 1st year high school students who joined their school's tennis team. 

Ide was a track star in middle school, but after an encounter with high schooler Hinako, he attends her school in the hopes of learning tennis from her. Ruui is a junior ranked tennis player who had previously given up on tennis, only to start again in high school. So Ide starts high school, but can't find Hinako, mainly because he read her name wrong (kanji), but anyway he joins the tennis club. Ide, who has never played tennis before quickly develops his skills on certain aspects (such as the ground strokes) but struggling in others (serve and netplay). Anyway, Ide and Ruui are paired together in the first tournament of the school year with success (I think they won the first tournament they were in). Ruui also takes out the singles tournament quite easily. 

The boys continued to practice and at the next tournament they are knocked out in the second round by the national champions, but only lose in a tiebreak. Ruui again has individual success, I think he gets to the quarter finals before losing (?) To be honest I can't really remember because there was quite  a few tournaments and I can't remember what happened when. 

Anyway, at the next tournament, Ruui was knocked out in the first round, shocking Ide, but the two decide to continue to work hard in order to do better next year in singles and doubles. In the meanwhile Ide receives tips from Hinako, who is now is in his class as Hinako was held back a year due to a car accident which has left her with a paralyzed leg. The team also gets a new coach, but I can't remember what his name was, and wikipedia does not have a page on this. So I will say that I am I am quite enjoying this series and it will be a while until I reach the end.  

Anyways, that's about it for now, until next time :)

One Small Step for Me! =D

Alrighty, my very first blog post! How exciting! Well, I guess I should start with a bit of an intro. The about me section is just a little some to break the ice and hopefully get a few cheap laughs, but I guess I should talk a bit about my self in real life =D.

Well, firstly, I am a university student. Not only that, but I am doing a double degree, which is a cool thing to say because it makes me sound smart when I'm actually not. I love sport. Living in Melbourne, I obviously love AFL, but I also love many other sports, in particular tennis and motorsport, but please don't ask me about cars as such, I don't know anything about them ^-^. 

I love television, especially shows such as The Inbetweeners (yes, I know, original) and I am particularly fond of comedy animation, including such classics like The Simpsons and South Park. 

I also like to read...a lot. I like to read books, but not pop culture books such as twilight and hunger games. I find that I enjoy classic literature more, Like Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Edgar Allen Poe.

I am a massive follower of Anime and Manga. I mainly read Shoujo and and Josei, which for those of you who have no idea what I am talking about, it basically means stuff that is aimed at girls, so everything is so sweet it gives you a toothache. In saying this, I have watched the classics such as Pokemon and Dragonball Z, I mean, I grew up with that stuff. I will admit right now that I am a massive nerd when it comes to this stuff.

I love my cats, I have two black cats, so i am not very superstitious, in fact, I consider Friday the 13th to be lucky days for me.

So, with this blog, I will talk about my day to day life in the off chance that something out of the ordinary happens (like I see a unicorn or something) but more than anything else, I would like to branch out to people who have similar interests to me, so more often than not, I will probably be posting and summarizing about stuff i have seen, did or read and offer my insight on it, so, if I am talking about something and you have no clue what I am talking about, then that's ok, because my interests are unique :),

So I think that should just about do it. Any questions you have for me, feel free to ask on the message board and I will try to answer. Also, if you like what you have seen so far, feel free to follow me on twitter @himexcherry

Thank You :)
