I just wanted to take the time to blog, before I pull this all nighter on this photoshop project. It's due tomorrow, and I have no excuse to not have it in my teacher's lap by then. Well... technically I do; but in the eyes of my teacher, it just looks like I... "bullshitted."
For the lack of a better fitting word.
Me working a closing and two nine hour shifts these past three days days - on top of the finance test I had to take the time to study for, will mean nothing to him. And I don't expect it to. All I know is that I'm responsible to have it in his lap tomorrow and I'm going to do just that.
I hope that I can pull a good enough job with the time I have. After dealing with such a rough week I had in terms of projects and due dates, me completing this project on time will not only relieve my stress of my grade but will put me in a better position with my other projects to hand in. Which is a really good shape for me to be in right now. Really Good.
Oh and I also wanted to bring up this Graphic Novel/Manga I just bought yesterday after work.
The book is called "Solanin" by Inio Asano.
I've been so into it that I'm just speeding through the story. It was a random book that caught my eye and decided to buy looking through the graphic novels section at a B. Daltons in the mall I work in. I'm halfway through the book already and so far, I'm enjoying it very much!
The general idea of the story is of a group of teenagers, with the story revolving around Meiko and her boyfriend Taneda. They're trying to figure out their place in the world questioning if there's anything more to life than ordinary nine to five jobs that you find yourself settling with because you couldn't figure out any other alternatives. The story questions the true value of happiness and in a sense, what it takes to be committed and make sacrifices.
Overall I think it's a very cute story so far and definitely something you should look into if you want a filling light reading under a slow paced story with satisfying giggles.
----------- Edit -----------
So I haven't started my project yet.
It's been an hour since I posted and I ended up eating and spontaneously deciding to read Solanin. Then I found myself unable to put it down and decided to finish the whole book. So I did.

I just wanted to say that, overall the story was good. Bittersweet is the word I'd consider about it. It moved me inside a little bit; about how life works and just how things fall through in the end one way or another. Maybe not in the way you predicted it, but they fall through. It's just all on your outlook on things on the way. There were definitely parts where I connected with the book that made my eyes water.
::sigh::
I liked his book... a lot.
"There's nothing cool about these characters. They're just your average 20-somethings who blend into the backdrop of the city. But the most important messages in our lives don't come from musicians on stage or stars on television. They come from the average people all around you, the ones who are just feet from where you stand. That's what I believe."

haha i was supposed to study but i procrastinated also...
hmm i want to read that book! Let me borrow it =] thanks.
You know what, I think we should go to the movies and watch TWILIGHT. I want to see that movie so bad.
yeah you can borrow it.
but you better keep it in mint condition!
and yes twilight.
im curious about it.
what's great about twilight is, EVERYONE loves it. my latina friend who's really white, i'd never expect her to like a book about vampires, but the way millions of girls all over the country have fallen for it just shows that it is fantastic.
i love the girl in the movie (i keep thinking kirstie alley HAHA) and i think it's kristen stewart. she has a stupid manly voice lol. it's great though, i like her a lot, and i think it's going to disappoint fans of the books.
BUT HEY i won't even ask to borrow your graphic novel since i can't keep it in pristine condition. god forbid playa playa.
Scott Pilgrim Vol. 5 comes out at NYCC! It's so much closer than we thought, Johnny! You working on your portfolio?
oh my god. I need to put hours into that comic book sketchbook.
I've been so swamped lately with work and projects. I'm in NEED to get on this. Like, over winterbreak.
