Morning everyone! (It’s 2:39AM here… Heh.)

Before I go to bed for the night (which I really need to do) I figured I would post a quick update on what’s been going on in my life… and what I’m thinking of doing next Internet-wise and writing-wise. I’m still “kind of” on a hiatus from this Tumblr, but hope to come back to it very soon. Then again… I might end up deleting this Tumblr as well and just ending my relationship and connection to Tumblr altogether. I’ll go into detail on why somewhere below.

Regardless.

Since my summer started, I decided to pick a video game to play as a way of “opening up” the summer. What game (or should I say, games) did I end up choosing? Harvest Moon 64 and Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town. Woo! Now I’m going to have to ask: Who doesn’t like the Harvest Moon series? Seriously? There’s absolutely NO way you can hate it (unless you’re my brother of course…) I’ve been playing the Harvest Moon series for as long as I’ve been playing The Legend of Zelda series—which started around the time I was 5. It’s one of my FAVORITE series and one of the only series where I’ll play older games from it over and over—hence why I’m playing Harvest Moon 64 again. It’s a shame that the recent games in the series have sucked compared to the classics, but I don’t mind checking them out to see what new features they behold. (True fan here.)

That’s what I’ve been doing for the past two days.

I managed to get all of my grades for the semester finally. I got straight A’s. WOO! I was a little surprised when I saw all of the A’s for this semester. I was expecting at least one or two B’s at the most. What really shocked me was the fact that I managed to score an A in Precalculus—the one class whose final I was dreading. I’m definitely proud of myself and so are my parents… it was a nice way to end my first year of college, haha. Now I’m honestly excited to go back… I have an interesting set of classes for next semester and I can’t wait to see how they all play out. (I’m actually taking a class in political science… Oh man.) Hopefully next year, I can actually find some people willing to be my friend, haha.

Anyway.

Oh… Speaking of the word “anyway” I just recently learned that “anyways” isn’t technically a word. I don’t know if “anyways” is a made-up word, but apparently the extra “s” is an unnecessary sound that people make in every day speech. I write “anyways” all the time on here because I didn’t really think there was a difference between the two… but you learn something new every day, right? I thought it was something worth sharing, ha.

(Man, not writing for a while has turned me into a serious rambler… Oh well.)

So…

The reason why I think I’m going to give up on this Tumblr—or rather Tumblr altogether—is because I feel like it’s pointless for me to have one. I’ve felt this way before (with my recent Tumblr) but I don’t think it’s right if this feeling keeps sitting with me over and over. I should probably just give up on the site, because it’s obviously not for bloggers such as myself. I mean… Is this really a blogging site? Well, it’s a micro-blogging site… but still? I feel like this site is a sad excuse for people to feel like they’re connecting with others just like them. Gah. I don’t know if I feel that’s true or not… but lately… that’s what I’ve been thinking about. Maybe if I just did a regular photo blog or actually went through with the video blog, I’d be a little happier. I can’t guarantee that though… and putting myself online takes a lot of emotional energy that I’m not 100% sure I have right now. I guess I’m just depressed about it all, really…

Would anyone even miss my reviews? I wonder…

As random and surprising as this may sound: I don’t necessarily feel compelled to write anything anymore. 

Why? I’m not really sure. I’ve lost the desire to write anything… at least… reviews. I have a lot of things that I would love to say, but it’s nothing no one wants to hear or cares about. So… I guess I’m just at a loss for words. It’s been really tough for me to come up with anything to say… so I’m going to stop trying for a while. My Tumblr isn’t exactly popular or acknowledged much, so I’m sure it won’t be a problem if I take a break.

Or I could just delete this Tumblr… That’s also an option.

Seriously though, I’m not just taking a break from Tumblr. I think I’m going to just take a break from the Internet altogether. I’ve noticed for the past few days that I haven’t done anything but stare at the computer screen… and I hate doing that. So… I’m going to just preoccupy myself with other things and see if the urge to write comes back. 

I also realized that I have no one to talk to on the Internet… which is pretty boring in itself. I’m sure I’ll return to all of my social networking sites eventually… but until then, I’d rather spend time with my family… since they actually enjoy talking to me on a regular basis.

Sorry for anyone (which I’m sure there was no one anyways) waiting for a review on a film or drama. I’ll keep my eyes open for any new films or shows though.

Until next time.

Hey everyone!

How are you all doing tonight?

I’m sorry I haven’t reviewed anything in the past few days… but I actually haven’t found a film worth reviewing yet. I’ve watched four films recently and I don’t really know if I want to review any of those four. The four films I managed to check out were: Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance, A Bittersweet Life, and Koizora. The last film I just happened to stumble upon when I was browsing through YouTube…

Regardless…

I didn’t really find anything worth “reviewing” about the two films from The Vengeance Trilogy… and I don’t know why. If I were to re-watch Oldboy, I would review it in a heartbeat… I guess the other two films didn’t really touch me the way Oldboy did. Lady Vengeance wasn’t a bad film though, don’t get me wrong. I just don’t have anything to say about it. I was considering a review for A Bittersweet Life because it was an interesting film… but I would probably have to sit down and think about what I want to say about it. Koizora was also a film I could review, but I have a feeling my review might turn out “negative” and the only negative review I’ve written on here so far was for The Hunger Games film adaption. (Heh.)

Either way… I have to review SOMETHING eventually. I just don’t know what I want to review. 

I was thinking of turning to Japanese and/or Korean horror for review ideas. (I believe I briefly mentioned that in my most recent post.) I think I might be a little bored with the drama genre and need to check out something else… which will be easy once I’m back home. Speaking of home, if you all remember correctly, I’ll be returning for the summer tomorrow morning—after my Biology exam. I’m extremely excited because I feel a little suffocated in my dorm room… but more importantly… I’ll be able to find and watch films to review a lot faster and more often once I’m back home.

I need to check out those suggestions that people sent… but those will have to wait until I’m back home. Anyways… I’ll ponder whether or not I’ll write reviews for A Bittersweet Life and Koizora. I’ll definitely say that A Bittersweet Life is worth checking out because of its action. (I was highly entertained by all of the fight scenes… as I always am with Asian films.) Once again, I apologize for the lack of reviews recently… but I had warned that I might not really get a chance to write until I was back home for the summer… which will be very, very soon.

Until then.

I think I might switch the genre to horror films instead of drama and/or action.

Just a heads up.

But I did manage to start a “soon-to-be” interracial couple on Sims 3: Showtime. Haha. I know… that’s kind of random and completely off-topic… but I figured I would share that with you all. I made a Black male by the name of Lawrence Parker and an Indian female by the name of Reva Yadav. Lawrence is aiming to become a surgeon and Reva aspires to be an acrobat. (Yep… an acrobat.) I would post pictures, but I don’t want to freak anyone out… 

Anyway.

I don’t know if I’ll really get a chance to do any reviews until I’m back home… I don’t really have any way of watching Japanese and/or Korean films or dramas while I’m at school. So… it might have to wait until I’m back home. As I mentioned before… I’ll be home by this upcoming Tuesday, so wait for me. Maybe I’ll be able to watch something tomorrow and have a review then… but I can’t guarantee it. The site that I usually watch films and dramas on doesn’t have the suggested films that people mentioned to me before… so I’ll have to try to find them elsewhere or wait until I’m home to get them.

We’ll see how it goes.

It depends on how I feel about Sympathy for Lady Vengeance…

I was a little preoccupied with some things…

• I recently found out about the final season of InuYasha that supposedly came out in 2009… So I started watching it last night and got through 22 of the 26 episodes… I plan to finish the last for episodes after I’m done with my “duties” for the day, haha.
• I had to watch last night’s episode of Survivor (which caused me to take time away from the InuYasha season to watch.) It was a riveting episode… the ending vote was a little awkward though. All of those tears… Actually, that entire episode was filled with tears now that I think about it.
• The room was ridiculously hot last night (as it is today) and I could barely concentrate on my laptop’s screen. It would have been impossible for me to find anything coherent to say last night… especially when I haven’t seen any films worth reviewing yet. 

I don’t think I plan on reviewing the final season of InuYasha because it would be complicated to review something that only a few people know about. I mean… If I was reviewing InuYasha as a whole, that would be different… but it’s been a while since I’ve seen all of the other seasons and I don’t have the patience (at least not now) to actually re-watch them all. Maybe (most likely) one day I will re-watch the entire show… but for now I just want to complete this last season so I can actually have some form of closure with the series.

I’d also like to thank the people who actually gave me suggestions for films to watch and review. I plan to get to those films as soon as I finish up the InuYasha season. I haven’t decided on which one I plan to watch first… so I guess it will depend on whichever one I FIND first, haha. Regardless… I’m sure I’ll be posting again at some point later in the day, so look out for a potential review.

Until then.
