brb, afk

July 25th, 2008 by Shirukii

Hey guys, excluding yesterday it’s been a long stretch since I posted anything, and as an indulgence to my self-importance, I must tell you why…

…ok I’m shitting you, I just need to let you guys know that there will be some minor changes to my posting style.

The past month or so have been really hectic, as soon as mid June hit I began working full time, which not only consumed time, but energy and my will to blog. Furthermore, anytime I did have time to spare was dedicated to my social life (read: waifu). Lastly, I got addicted to House. *cough*

Yesterday’s post was a brief return to form, which will unfortunately be marred by a week long vacation, starting tomorrow. After that, there’ll be a slight change in my posts, I’ll be omitting the Summary section and head straight to Thoughts. It was a shift that I had been thinking of doing for a while now, but only recently have time constraints pressed so hard on me to necessitate it.

That’s all for now. Thanks to everyone who has been keeping up with the blog even through its period of inactivity, readers like you guys are what will keep me going, even in periods of depressed motivation.

See you in a week!

~ Shirukii ~

    Aww, that’s too bad, but it’s still okay as long as you post every now and then.
    Also, lol House XD

    Welcome to the club buddy. As I said yesterday, I personally plan on coasting well into August with just a few comments and short posts here and there. A 5-6 day a week work schedule and a growing lack of interest in blogging will eventually take it’s toll on anyone.

    I guess the real lesson in all of this though is don’t get addicted to good American television. It’s been a while, but TV is slowly starting to get good again while anime……eeeeeeeeeehhhhhh not what it was last summer, we’ll just leave it at that.

    Have you thought of soliciting writers? This way, you can continue to make less but still high quality posts while the other writers can keep a good stream of posts.

    At least you’re letting us know, Shirukii! And as long as there are thoughts, I don’t think we need summaries lols.

    I didn’t really understand how anyone could do summaries until I started blogging. And I still don’t, even though I at times do them myself. Anyway, its always good to hear your over-analytical thoughts on an episode. Have a good vacation.

    That’s good, I mean most would assume that the people reading your blogs on episodes have already watched it themselves in order to prevent any spoilage right? I can’t speak for all of us, but I personally just skip straight to your thoughts anyhow.

    I have to agree with RJ, I hardly ever read the Summary unless it was an especially confusing episode or so.

    I’m glad to hear that you’re doing allright and it was just a matter of being preoccupied with work and stuff and nothing more serious though.

    *cough* Kurenai *cough*

    (*has not watched Kurenai since your last blogpost* xD)

    Now you see why I can’t keep up with all of you and your minute details over individual episodes. Hell, I’m just barely trying to maintain a small backlog thanks to rl.

    I don’t mind this at all Shirukii,
    The only reason I come here is to see your thoughts on the episodes and to discuss :D

    It’s a great idea to shift from summaries to just thoughts!
    I hope you’ll continue to write them.

    Take care :D

    inb4Shirukii realizes he spent all that time on summaries for nothing xD

    Well. I barely update my blog.
    But I had gradually grown out of posting summaries.
    Leave it to one episode ofg Code GEass to compress 150 important things that need to be mentioned.

    Well, I used to like your summaries because they helped me to know what was going on in a series. It helped me decide if I should watch on a few occasions. But if you need to exclude them in order to post, please do so.

    P.S. In case you’re unaware, Koihime Musou is pretty good this season, and there’s a fair bit of yuri in it 8D

    In all fairness…House is pretty damn awesome.

    Was it Lupus?

    Yeah, House is too good to not watch one season at a time ^.^

    Just happy your back! (^_^)

    Hey guys, just a quick update, I’m back home, but shit continues to spread, my internet is down! I’m having someone come check it out within the next two days, sorry ;_;

    Ohh, I thought you lied D:
    And went to Paris with your waifu.

    @ Kaelyn: HOW THE FUCK DID YOU KNOW?!

  22. on 05 Aug 2008 at 6:03 am22 Vadigor

    lol, We demand pictures! =p

    (And I demand a Kurenai post!

    Please? xD)

  23. on 05 Aug 2008 at 3:58 pm23 Kaelyn

    @ Lumi~

    LOL WOAH, can’t believe I got that right.
    It was just a random guess :D

    ….or am I a friend of you two?
    Who knows?

  24. on 05 Aug 2008 at 10:26 pm24 Lumi~

    @ Kaelyn: It’s really a shame that sarcasm doesn’t translate very well over the expanse of the internets, isn’t it? I was only joking! :3

    Some friend you are ;_;

  25. on 05 Aug 2008 at 10:50 pm25 Kaelyn

    ;___; awww

    Using [/sarcasm] always works!

  26. on 05 Aug 2008 at 11:09 pm26 Lumi~

    @ Kaelyn: Hahah, awwww, it’s okay. I’ll try to make it more obvious from now on =D

    … NOT.
    Rofl, joking.
