Yaay! I passed 'Green Grass on High Tide' on expert on the drums for Rock-Band! Nearly had a heart attack doing it, but now I feel accomplished. And I never want to go through that again.

Looks like I'll be doing an all-nighter today :(

Presentation went well. It was in a proper seminar room and everyone has to ask a question each at the end. Eek! Luckily I managed to make decent answers (I'm making this assumption based on the fact that my tutor didn't contradict me!). Then today I found out that I have to write an essay plus make three essay plans due in for Thursday! Seriously, I have no time!!  This means I only get tomorrow to do it all but I have lectures and a meeting with Deloitte to try and get them to sponser our Kendo club. Also how am I supposed to revise for finals on top of all this? Bah, crazy.

Yesterday morning there was the biggest effing spider in the sink that I've ever seen. I think I stood in the bathroom a good 10 minutes, just staring at the thing in horror whilst trying to decide what to do. It was so HUGE, I didn't want to try bashing at it since that would involve getting my hand near it, definitely didn't want to try scooping it into a cup, and was too nice to just leave it and let my flat-mate deal with it later. In the end I turned the hot-water tap on it. 
THEN today as I was working on my tute, I saw another spider crawl across my desk. Scared the living daylight out of  me! Also it was exactly the same kind as yesterday, only smaller. Maybe the big spider's offspring has come for revenge? I think I screamed and then hit it with my flipflops.

This is like, such an OTP of mine, even though there is nothing in fandom regarding these two. I have a scenario in my head in which Shiraishi, after playing against Fuji at the nationals, was so intruiged by his playing style and spirit that he can't get Fuji out of his mind, and thereafter becomes a little obsessed with him and incidently tries to hit on him multiple times during the yakiniku party, saying he wanted to show Fuji the vigour of Osaka men.
Ahem. 
Anyway... XD

Oh my god, when is OVA 20 going to come out? I really can't wait any more. I googled it and apparently you can get the subbed version of OVA 20 on torrent, but I don't know if that is the real thing and I would get banned from the uni's network if I use P2P. *frustrated*

To celebrate the awesome recent naruto chapters! Reference used for angle.

Oh. Holy. Crap.  Zero drinking Kaname's blood in ch 30 is the hottest thing ever! *brain fizzles* They should just make the manga shounen-ai instead. *

 

This is my wrist after a particularly, urm, animated, session of Kendo. It hurts like a bitch and I have a similar but smaller bruise on my hip where someone mis-aimed with their shinai. Mum thinks I'm crazy for doing Kendo, and considering I'm one of the very few female members of the club, I sometimes think so too. But I can't feel too sorry for myself as I'm preeety sure I wacked a lot of people on all the wrong sort of places too.. XD

Latest Naruto chapter is awesome as ever, but I wish Tobi/Madara would just hurry up and get on with the story! It's so maddening, all this wait and elusive hints everywhere. Aaah, I can't take it. 

Also Prince of Tennis OVA 20 is released today right?  Right? *bounces* I wonder how long it'll take before it appears on the net...

So this is Elspeth's usual work pattern:

1. Read research paper on hibernation, a few paragraphs at a time with intervals of doodling on the white spaces
2. Write a sentence or two
3. Google for definitions or unfamiliar terms
4. Google for non-essay related things that have popped into mind
5. Turn back to research paper and add finishing touches to doodles, then continue reading
6. Think it's about time to refresh webmail, then gets distracted by facebook messages
7. Force self back to essay, decide the wording of previous paragraph is awkward and spend a while adjusting it
8.The cycle continues, but replace 'googling for non-essay related things' with 'updating livejournal with this useless entry'

So I'm now secretary of Oxford Uni Kendo society. I had my first committee meeting last night, which took forever, and didn't really get a chance to practice Kendo. Aparrantly last year's committee were awful at record-keeping and we've lost a good amount of club armour because people never returned them/felt the deposit they left behind was well worth the kit (it is). This year we plan to be much more organised, starting with a proper database of all the club members. I never realised how much admin stuff and organisation goes into running a club - obvoiusly I know there's a lot of work, but to be in on every single teeny detail is quite a new thing. 

Ahaha, so yeah, I already made a great start (irony) on being the secretary. After our initial meeting we decided to extend it a little just so we can sort out things there and then but one of the committee member had already entered the dojo and was starting to practice. I had to go to fetch back him but I made the mistake of going too late because by the time I entered the dojo, everyone was already in armour and I had no idea who was who! It was all rather embarrassing and involved me running around peering through their helmets. Not cool. 


I finished watching Lovely Complex. It was a really sweet and endearing story and made me all girly and mushy for a while. Also, from a completely different anime, hot damn Zero (Vampire Knight) is sexy!

OMG so I just discovered the anime, Lovely Complex, and that it is all spoken in Kansai-ben! Amaaazing. I love that dialect so much. It'll make understanding a little tougher but it's so fun to listen to XD I don't usually like shoujo anime but this one looks promising.

 Not sure if I like this or not, but I can't be bothered to tinker with it anymore. Reference used.

Oh.My.God. Naruto chapter 397 kill me dead. *flails*
