16-Chances

Why, that crafty little....  If I didn't like her so much, I'd say she's just being downright manipulative right now.

Geez, I am still hooked on Nisekoi, but it lost a lot of its original charm.  I'm on volume 50-something-whatever if that's any indication as to how the story hooked me.  And it definitely has, but many manga tropes have emerged.  Sorry, but just because you are the male lead in a manga doesn't mean that every girl has to love you.  But what do I know?  Also, I feel like it's made the blunder of not knowing where to go with the story and trying to solve that problem by introducing more characters.  But I still like it.  I'm too far into it now to give up before knowing how it ends.  Curse you, addictive manga!  You have claimed another victim by stringing me along with the bait of an unresolved romantic plotline.  This better pay off BIG in the end or else I will be as mad as a hungry dwarf hamster in hamster ball stuck in the middle of a barrel of hamster food.  HAMSTERS!

Plugnet.  Plugnet will make me feel better.  More plugnet.

15-A Pepperoni Concession

I find pepperoni to be the neutral ground of pizza.  People may disagree about meat lovers, supreme, or ham & pineapple pizza, but I find most people are okay with pepperoni.  That is, unless you're one of those cheese-only people, or a vegan.  Terran is neither of those, so letting her have her pepperoni is kind of like offering a small olive branch.

14-Freakishly Early

Gods, I know so many people who are more than content with being 15 minutes late to everything.  It bugs the crap out of me.  I'm not one of those on-time-is-late kind of people, but still.  There gets to a point where it can be disrespectful.  At the same time, I know people usually don't mean any offense by it.  A lot of people are so beta that they just go with whatever and lose track of time.  Some people just aren't brought up to be time conscious, and that's cool and all.  Though I have met one person who blatantly told me that she basically doesn't give a fuck who she pisses off by being late to anything.  Anyhow.  Rant over.

I am very sad today.  I just took another gander at 8bitpeoples.com and was reminded that there will be no more blip festival "for the forseeable future."  I know 8-bit music is kind of a weird niche, but I love it.  There will be a huge void in my musical life knowing that blip festival is gone, pretty much forever.  But I guess I should just be glad that there are talented people out there still making music, not the least of which is Bit Shifter, with whom I am pretty much in love.

13-A Missing Piece

Gods, I'm just like Cyrstal when it comes to pizza.  The evil pizza must be vanquished!

12-Rationalizations

So here comes the other side.  The scheme itself begs the objections that Terran is posing.

I'm growing more to appreciate Anamanguchi's album Power Supply.  It's just so... sharp and energetic?  I dunno.  I have very few adequate ways to describe music that I love and the reasons for which I do.  My favorite song on that album is still Fast Turtle.  The title just brings up so much fun imagery.  Go, turtle, go!

Soon I will be attempting my first multiplayer game of Civ V with some dudes that I know.  I haven't yet played an entire game through the year 2050 yet, so it should be interesting.  I've had a decent go at the one solo game that I started, but I think that was on the lowest difficulty level.  So I dunno.  I will let you know how it goes.  Maybe.  ^v^
