Well, that’s an approximate amount, when I wasn’t feeling particularly inspirational. A good ballmark figure I should strive for when I start writing in greater amounts for the next year or so. True, it may not be for my book, just fanfiction again, but any form of writing is writing none-the-less.

Youth in Revolt

April 4th, 2010

Not a bad movie really. Saw the trailer on my iPod (using the podcast from FilmTrailer.com via iTunes) so we decided to see it yesterday.
Overall, wacky fun, dual personalities and a weird premise all round (even the geeky lead is likeable to a certain extent), makes it for a good viewing.
We were also lucky [...]

Getting warmer in Greece finally, the day before a National Holiday, there’s many religious festivals happening, like this one near the Olympiakos Football Stadium (on my way to work)

Kara No Kyoukai and K-ON

January 3rd, 2010

Two completely different kinds of anime, from two very opposite sides of the coin.
Kara No Kyoukai:
Created By TYPE-MOON, famous for Tsukihime and Fate/Stay Night. Even the creator, Kinoko Nasu is famous for mixing his series so much that he has created a whole new universe of characters and symbolism, commonly called the Nasuverse. Think of [...]

Fanfiction murmuring

lj-music: Fahrenheit – Quiz Music
Lately, I’ve been getting into too much looong fanfiction (read, over 100,000 words), namely Ranma and (of all things) Harry Potter.
However, these aren’t your ordinary ones, these are the complete rewrites, when someone goes back in time to change the past. I’ve got about 5 [...]
