So the spring semester is winding down with final exams next week, and the last journal I wrote was commenting on last fall. That’s a long time ago in my world. I have been so busy this semester with my 22 credit hours that I have had almost no time to devote to other things. Well… that’s true and false at the same time. I have gone through a number of different “obsessions”, over varying lengths of time, between now and then that have taken up quite a bit of my precious free time. Let’s see, I will list a few of the most recent ones to give you an idea of the range of fandoms and genres they span:
One Outs:
      anime based on baseball and fyi I’ve never seen a
      game of baseball in my life
Akagi:
      anime based on the Chinese game Mahjong and after
      23 episodes I still have no idea how to play it
Harry/Draco pairing:
      pretty self explanatory I think and I have no
      idea where this tangent came from
Fight Club:
      saw the movie for the first time, looooved
      it (and sexy Brad Pitt in it), and will read
      the novel as soon as I can get my hands on it

And my current obsession for the past few weeks, drumroll please… DragonBall!!!

It’s odd that I hated this series and thought it was stupid when I was 9 years old, but at 19 I am in love with it. Go figure. I think it was mainly because the few times I did see it on TV I had no idea what was going on and just saw a lot of overly dramatic fighting that made no sense. Even at a young age I stayed away from anything I didn’t understand or felt like I could understand after a few minutes… and that is DragonBall in a nutshell.

But now with the new “remastered” version of DBZ, called DragonBall Kai, coming out in Japan because of the movie (which bombed of course) I can see it from the beginning and actually understand the characters and plot. I remember for the longest time I always got so confused about who was who and who was in what family. It never made any sense until now since the entire series spans a couple generations by the end.

I feel like I’m reliving my childhood right now, the way it should have been, by watching the DBZ from the beginning. Yah, I’m 10 years late, but better late than never.

Expect a crappy piece of fanart within 24 hours. It’s pretty much finished I just have to post it now.
