So GASOC ...
I've been neglecting this place out of sheer laziness, and this makes me feel like a silly head ... or an old man with Alzheimer's, I can never remember which.
Things have been really crazy this semester as far as administration is concerned. Nasty letters sent concerning foreign teachers, a personal attack against me, moldy bookcases and falling apart beds. At least the students are great and I've discovered what I want to shoot for, for my next job.
Ashram is going to try to get into the manga or anime publishing field! I've already sent my resume to VIZ for an Editor position and I'm waiting to see if Digital Manga Publishing has any openings. I'd like to get in with Del Rey, but they don't seem to be looking for anyone for their MANGA department. (so I may try applying for another MadHouse position and work towards the MANGA department)
While AD is posting the anime she's viewing for this new season, let me throw a few out there:
Tengan Toppa Gurren-Lagann - It's GAINEX showing once again why they are GAINEX. Although the reason behind that statement is a mystery to me, this show has the making of a truly fun, intriguing mecha story about a young boy who lived underground (THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS THE SURFACE!!!11) and worked as a driller. He finds a strange face (which ends up being a very tiny mecha) and, along with his "Big Bro" Kamina, actions are set in motion to propel both him and Kamina out of their underground safety zone and onto the surface with the aid of the ... rather sexy and "bouncy" Yoko.
Lucky Star - It's a sugar overdose that's not unlike Azumanga Daioh. It's just four high school girls talking about ... stuff.
Hayate no Gotoku! - I haven't watched this one yet, but the concept is ... BATTLE BUTLER!! xd

AD >> Yeah, there was no rhyme or reason to Lucky Star, but I still found it entertaining. (especially the last part of the episode that had what was called, "Lucky Channel")
The personal attack came by way of e-mail. I did not attend a teaching meeting (forgot ... and this was the first time BTW) which, technically, I wasn't required to be at anyway ... and I got an e-mail from one of the FLD's lackies that said the FLD had decided if foreign teachers did not attend these teaching meetings, they would be docked some of their pay. (in truthfulness, the e-mail said "I" so it was, from the way I see it, directed at me) I come to find out that I'm the only one who got this e-mail, which is kind of strange, considering these kind of decisions should apply to all teachers. (and it does ... for the Chinese ones) I brought this up with my Chinese friend, who happens to be the Dean of the FLD, and he wanted to know who sent me the e-mail. Slightly confusing and alarming, don't you think? I haven't done anything with this yet, as I've been left alone lately.
The apartment I live in now had a build up of mold that was growing in the bookcase and on the curtain holders. When I first saw it, I thought it was just dust. Come to find out it wasn't. OH BOY!!

Happy Belated 3 years, GASOC! gonk heart
AD :: damn. I'll miss that finger then! .__.;
and I don't flick off co-workers at all. They make asses out of themselves without any help from me, so I just point and laugh instead. xd
Spanish soap operas are directed at targeted male audiences for their females getting involved in catfights, but more and more females watch them instead for the blatant sexist issues it brings, the degradation of poor classes there, and how females usually kill other characters, but get away with it until the end, in which they either get caught for another thing and they reveal the other crime, or they die altogether.
the funny thing is, most of them is the same re-telling of the same story over and over again. A few can be considered gems, such as the "original" Venezuelan story called "Betty la fea" which spawned a sequel, an even funnier remake called "La fea más bella", and the actual nbc program Americans know as "Ugly Betty". 3nodding
pity is the right word to use for that. :C
oh, and the bokurano thing was plainly pointed out in the anidb.info review even before I watched the first episode. xd
