All my New Stuff
And it begins all over again, damn it all. It is now time for the new season of anime. Coupled with Rune Factory: Frontier. Wrapped together with getting the next version of this site out. Then dipped in the trial of moving into a new apartment. Oh joyous joy, how to multi-task how to accomplish something and nothing at all? Well luckily a bunch of old anime has ended just in time for the new season.
Not like last year when all the new anime was starting at the same time some of my other anime was still going on. Essentially doubling my anime load. Nope this time I find myself nicely free of all previous seasons of anime and ready to movie onto this season. Looks like it is shaping up to be an interesting season. First there is Valkyria Chronicles, one I have been looking forward to since I beat the game. It is always interesting to see how the story will be told through a different view point. Plus I watched an anime called Examurai Sengoku. It looks intersting as well. If anything it is a nice buffer anime as all of the episodes are fairly short. And we cannot forget Fullmetal Alchemist 2. The one that seems to follow where the manga and first anime split off. My interest is piqued again as I have heard that the manga is nice and fucked up for all. Then looking down my list I see something called Slap-Up Party Arad Senki, as well as K-On!, Queens Blade, and Pandora Hearts. Oh well at least it is easy to keep up with anime when you only have to watch one a week. Let me hope that I do not fall behind.
I am only slightly worried I will fall behind. Mainly because of a new, hopefully temporary vice called Rune Factory: Frontier. Yup that is my temporary vice I am hoping. Ah the tedious mind numbing work of running a farm, couple with the tedious mind numbing work of adventuring. Whoever, thought that up was a fucking GENIUS. Plus the game is very open ended. There is a story of some kind that you can follow. However, in games like this one the story is only secondary. I am having much more fun, slowly tending to my field and slowly harvesting all my crops. As well as attempting to figure out how to make my monster slaves do my work for me. That is a much needed crutch. Capturing monsters to do work for me. Now I just need to figure out how to get them to do it. Then comes the challenge of rewriting the site.
I am stuck on the anime section currently. My problem stems from the best way to get the anime section to work. Personally I like the idea of having the anime section change as much as I want it too. But at the same time, I am stuck on the best way to make it work. Right now I am contemplating just making the script pull up between 4 and 10 random animes out of my database. Then randomly choose one to show up in the even you just opened the page. The hard part comes when someone is looking at a specific anime. I want that anime to be the first item on the page. Sadly I cannot remember how to do conditional ordering. ANd it is such a pain to come up with the right internet queries to get that information. Well that and the fact that the internet examples are always vauge. Luckily for me I have an example some where at work, I just need to remember to look at it. And then comes my slow and painful process of moving.
Yup it is official I am moving out of my current one bedroom apartment. To move in with a friend who will be graduating college in August. So now comes the various tasks and chores with that. Chore number one, semi-packing of things. This is the easiest of chores as I just need to get some boxes and over the next few days put stuff in them and read they to be moved. Nothing too it, except a little bit of money, and I will just have to live with the expense. Chore number two, talking to my various providers about how I can not breach contract. I REALLY wish I could move out when my lease is up. Sadly I cannot do this, stupid people and not wanting to move. So I get to call my various providers of services I need to live and ask them how I can not break contract. Seeing as how my 2 year contracts run out just before I get to move out. And I cannot exactly go 3 weeks without internet, for reasons that I need it for work. And finally, there is the hardest labor of cleaning my apartment. I hate my inherent laziness sometimes. As it comes back to bite me in the ass. Cleaning my bathroom and kitchen, and microwave. Not to mention repairing my walls, all that wondrous stuff. God I hate renting places, I need to own a place. That way I will have incentive to make the place sparkle. Oh well guess I had bettter get on this stuff.
