Time, and Space

Hello everyone ^_^

It's been a while, heh. I guess I'd like to say that I've been doing lots, but I'm not entirely sure that's accurate. Although saying that, I did finich my novel, Nazreal: The Lost City and sent it off to my first choice literary agent on Monday this week. I can't begin to tell you the huge amount of strict procedures that you have to go through to make your proposal package as professional as possible. Writing is really competitive, so it's important you take in all the advice you can find. I've no idea whether I'll be any success or not. I'm not expecting to get a positive response (as much as I am at least hoping for one, heh), and I won't hear for another three weeks yet. But it's progress all the same ^_^

You know, I really haven't watched all that much anime recently. I finally got round to viewing My Neighbour Totoro and Whisper Of The Heart, and I'd highly recommend them to anyone. They're both far more chareacter-based than plot or action-based, but just... lovely.

And I bought Appleseed: Ex Machina a while back; that was good. The story wasn't as good as the first CGI movie; the English dub changed Briareos' voice actor and he doesn't sound as strong a character as he did before. I liked his previous English voice. But the animation is incredible, and some of the art direction is fantastic. There are some amazing moments in it, so for Appleseed fans it's still great fun, if not quite with the depth of the first.

Also been watching a lot of Arby 'n the Chief and Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series. Hilarious ^_____^

Personal-wise, well... not much has changed ^_^; My best friend (whom I started the production company with) has moved to Australia. It was going to be permanent but it looks like he's coming back in September, so that's left me incredibly ambivalent. I've been doing all sorts of acting stuff: principally I'm Chief Weasel in a big production of Toad of Toad Hall in the Rolls-Royce factory in August, and I can't wait for that ^_^

I meant to log back in a while ago to comment on one of James' posts but I forgot >.>; It's felt a little odd without a little theOtaku to indulge in, heh.
