Interesting question you ask there reader, the list goes as follows: I’ve been out of school for a couple of days to a low grade fever & playing catch up, picked up Vol 2 of the Urusei Yatsura manga as my own Christmas present, and have been curious in writing a book someday.
So for today and yesterday, I’ve been out of school, and was out for 3 days (and also cut into my break) for Flu type A a couple weeks back (if not mistaken). As for these recent two days, I took them off because of running a low grade fever and being unable to sleep, I mean it had me feeling like hell and tired, gotten better as of writing this and should be able to return to school the next day with a fair chunk of work already done while out. Yeah it’s been kinda hell to get caught up on all my work but it’s all coming together believe it or not. One assignment I’ve been needing to do for a long while now is my color wheel for Art II, which has been put on the back burner so many times because of inconveniences like being out, right now I feel so messy with how I should do it, but yet I’m sure that it can be done with the right organization.
As you may know, Christmas and other fellow holidays are upon us folks! Spread the cheer! Huzzah!… Yes that was exaggerated but I am somewhat in the spirit as of right now, not too crazy for things like presents or anything of that nature, still looking forward to the things me and the fam will receive/show and tell. But here’s an item I’m looking forward to (that I already know what it is since I bought it with my Mami), and that is the 2nd volume of the Urusei Yatsura manga! ^-^ How I knew about the franchise is a post for next time, but can provide an anecdote on me and the recent anime that came out recently! For those who don’t know, in October of this year, a second anime adaptation of Urusei Yatsura came out and I’ve been watching it with joy and get excited each time Thursday rolls around the corner to catch it (and a new ep is coming out tomorrow!); I could speak a lot about this right now but it would blow the proportion of what I aimed to speak about in this post, so stay tuned for a blog post about the franchise and how I (and my Mami) have been loving it!
Now about the whole book thing, that isn’t a really set/planned thing but an idea I’ve had recently. It comes from my recent interest in my English III class, which I’m backed up a little in funnily enough, recently we’ve read stories from Mark Twain and did an essay looking at the two stories and if they met up with Twain’s standards expressed in his essay “How to Write a Story”, in which he said (paraphrased) “the key to a good story with humor is to sneak it and for any story should be elaboration.” This really stuck with me and I think it’s what sparked this idea of me writing a book. The book type I have set in my mind is a fiction book, what it’ll be about I’m unsure of, but the possibilities are endless and exciting to reach and achieve, the ideas I could put in there and express, the influences I could take inspiration from, like Twain and (once I get around the corner of reading a good portion her works to back up my claims of inspirations from) Rumiko Takahashi. I could start baby steps and write words and ideas that come up first thing in my head on a piece of scrap paper or in my journal once in while, like even maybe during school, perhaps it could start that way.
Well, looks like I should hit the hay shortly here, I’ll see ya’ll, take care and hope to post here again soon! 😉
