Hello! I haven't made a post in a while. A lot of stuff has happened since last time, I guess. The two biggest things being me getting back to gaming and watching anime after a long hiatus during summer (yay!). I lost my passion for both sometime during spring and I can't even remember what I did to pass time back then. I was even in the middle of an anime (Da Capo Second Season) when I stopped watching. It was because of that anime I took a break I think because it was so freaking boring, and I try not to drop animes either unless it's really long and boring (like 50+ episodes, this one was only 26 episodes). But I did get back to it not too long ago and managed to finish it. I gave it a 3/10 score on MAL, haha... And since then I've been watching a bunch of animes. Just after finishing D.C.S.S I wanted to watch something really good, so I started watching Sakamichi no Apollon, this is one of the best animes I've seen in a really long time (it's only 12 episodes, but I finished it in one sitting). A truly epic anime about friendship, love and jazz(!). I never thought an anime would get me into jazz. I immediately started listening to some big jazz musicians after I finished watching it (such as Herbie Hancock, Clifford Brown and Max Roach to name a few). I also watched Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari and Fate/Stay Night, and am currently watching Sankarea. I will continue with Fate/Zero after I'm done with this one (probably tonight).
Gaming-wise I finally started playing Yakuza 4 that I've borrowed from a friend since forever. :D I'm really liking this game, it's very different from anything else I've played. It's basically an RPG mixed with a fighter, very arcade style. I don't know how far in I am, probably almost halfway, but I haven't had the chance to play much due to school and some other stuff. I also started playing some XCOM: Enemy Unknown, which is very addictive and hella fun! Although it has a lot of bugs and clipping issues, but I kinda overlook those issues because I am having that much fun with it. Oh, and I also managed to finally obtain the platinum trophy in Red Dead Redemption. First platinum trophy in a year, mind you! Last one was ICO in September last year. ~_~
Some other new stuff. I purchased a new graphics card for my PC some weeks ago so that I could use 3 screens. I've now moved my 42" TV that I got for my birthday in January but have barely even used it at all and placed it beside my computer.

I can now watch anime and movies while enjoying my bed as well! Before the TV was all the way on the other side of the room and I didn't use it much because I mostly sit in front of the computer when I'm home. My room is pretty big and I only use this side of the room, so I decided to buy a new graphics card, move the TV, and put it to use. Lovely. I also got a new pink carpet which fits in perfectly and makes the room look a whole lot better.

I also got some new CDs and a MEJIBRAY poster. I got the MEJIBRAY Sadisgate single (Regular and TYPE B) and the new SCREW XANADU single (Regular only). I still need to get a frame for the MEJIBRAY poster so that it will fit nicely next to my signed SCREW poster. ^-^ I was also hoping for Manabu regarding XANADU, but I got Rui and Kazuki instead, oh well.
Last but not least, quick update about school. I've so far finished two courses and will finish my third one tomorrow, so only three to go! Next course is Japanese, so I'm very excited for next week. I still have to choose what to study for the two last courses, I'm not sure what to pick yet. I think if the Japanese goes well I will continue to study it at a more advanced level. We'll see how it goes!
That's about it I think. To end it all, I'll share some pictures of me cross-dressing, since I was so bored earlier this week^^.
