now watching: d.gray-man

Monday, August 25th, 2008 | update | No Comments

D.Gray-Man (supposedly named for the man in the painting, Dorian Gray) is an anime still airing in Japan. It has not yet been translated into English, but the first 51 episodes will be translated and released in early 2009. It is my favorite anime now, but that is likely to change. It tells the story of fifteen-year-old Allen Walker, an orphaned boy with a strange appendage; his left arm from shoulder to finger tips is mutated. The arm is a demon slayer, a weapon that was given to young Allen by God so he could enforce the will of He. His main opponent is the Millennium Earl, a strange fellow drawn like a caricature of a Victorian Englishman. His allies are Lenalee, sister of the Supervisor of the Dark Order, Lavi, a bookman in training, and Kanda Yu. The Dark Order is the home of the Exorcists, those given the power to kill demons by God. That’s all I’ll relieve for now; you’ll have to watch the show to get the entire meaning.

“Allen Walker is a young Exorcist who has a cursed eye that can see the suffering of the Akumas created by The Millenium Earl. He travels to England to the Headquarters of the Exorcists where his Master has sent him to meet with the other Exorcists. The battle with the Millenium Earl and the Noah Family vs. the Exorcists intensifies when some of the best Exorcists begin to get killed by hoards of Akuma. Japan takes center stage in this end of 19th Century plot in order to not let the entire human race be turned into Akumas and the Exorcists have the power of “Innocence” that was given to them by God on their side.

Allen Walker, a young man with a cursed eye, lives to destroy a weapon known as Akuma. These weapons created by the Milleneum Earl are sent out by his command to purge the world from humans. Allen Walker uses an anti-akuma weapon, Innocence, to counter the Earl’s attempts at destroying humanity. He travels to the Black Order by his mentor’s directions. There he meets with others who also fight against the Milleneum Earl’s plans. But more questions start to appear as Allen and his friends move further along to reach their goal. And these questions that seem to connect to Allen’s past.” -Anime News Network

random: clubs

Sunday, August 24th, 2008 | update | No Comments

So, for those of you entering high school, think of the clubs you want to be in. If you’ve already left, imagine yourself walking into a different high school with different clubs. What does that feel like? Are you excited, or nervous? There are a lot of clubs to join, but you can only fit a few into your schedule.

I have this problem personally, but I have decided on two (or even a third) clubs. Right now, I’m planning an audition to take part in my school’s radio station “WRHS The Hive” and be a DJ. I wish to make the best impression I can so I can get into this club, because it sounds like a lot of fun. To help with this feat, I’m asking you give your impression on my queue. The songs can’t be racist, contain sexual material, be religious, and contain foul language. Radio edits do not count since some songs will still contain “inappropriate language.”

1: Bring Me To Life- Evanescence

2: In The End: Linkin Park

3. Handlebars- Flobots

I finally got around to reading this book. I seriously love this series more than any other, because I can somewhat relate to the main character, Arthur Penhaligon. He’s always saying that he’d rather be left alone and be left in peace. I love these books.

My review will be up in a few days.

I’m not a big fan of historical fiction. However, I’ve told myself this year that I will start reading more historical fiction and non-fiction. Also, this book was written by the same author of Speak, which was a summer reading assignment of my. Therefore, I figured I would like this book.

I’m only on chapter two, but I haven’t really gotten into it. I picked it up from my mom’s classroom (She’s an English teacher at a private high school.) and she said I could borrow it. I will post my review in due time.
