Anyways, on to the post.
My week literally started after I posted the last blog. After pondering whether to read the rest of Umaru, I caved and binge read the rest of the series. It's been a blast, and the relationships between all the brother-sister pairings are mushy heart warmers. Watching the anime and then reading the manga, I am very excited for the rest of the manga to make it to the living room TV, if ever. I loved seeing all the characters grow; if by small gradual amounts in every other chapter that wasn't just filler. The steadiness of a subtle plot works well with the growing world the author is presenting in a slice of life format. Honestly reminds me a lot of Yotsuba. I'm a little sad I caught up with all the chapters, but am now excited for the rest of the series. I blame it on this series, but sisxbro pairings are growing on me. Fuck. My slow descent into madness begins here. Ughhhh I hope nobody read that. Anywho, Umaru waifu.
"Imouto bliss."
Most of the week I'm finding that I watch a lot of Southpark. Not really binge'ing it, but I get on Hulu to watch a few episodes here and there. Comedies have been a thing for me lately. Having watched season 19 and 18 already, I dipped into an even older season. Season 17; I'm finding it a little weird since the newer Southpark seasons have adopted season long subplot. It's now episode-by-episode individual plots. Or at least I think so, I haven't delved too deep into the season. Nor do I focus too hard on it. Watch newest season for PC Principal, bro.
"Please watch it."
Over the week, I've been having a serious craving. A craving.. for sushi. Okay, okay, I don't blame you if you stop reading here. I promise you, this is not a two year long punch line; I have been really wanting some. So I did that. I went out to this Korean Japanese Hibachi grill called Seoul Garden. I feel a little bad because I wanted to post some bonafide pictures of actual food from the restaurant on account of the presentation being really solid, but I completely forgot on account of stuffing my face. Sorry.

I ordered a plate of fried California roll things dubbed the 911(9-1-1). Looking at the menu, I had to double check to make sure I wasn't reading the sushi incarnate of 9/11(which is still an insensitive topic, not something to joke about at all) As for the actual taste, it was delicious. I remember a really creamy, spicy taste, and the fish had a really nice, smooth texture. I would definitely eat more if it wouldn't literally kill me, which is a topic I'll touch on a in moment. A few days later, I did happen to stop by again, and I assure you it wasn't to chat up the cute waitress working there; who just happened to be leaving with her brother(?). Damn it. Anywho, food aside, my favorite part of the whole restaurant was the staff hands down. Now, I always dubbed the location the restaurant was at cursed on account of five restaurants setting up there, and four restaurants closing in the short amount of time I've lived near Temple, Texas. This is actually the first time I've visited there, and absolutely won't be my last. However, I've never seen the restaurant with a full parking lot of customers, and I wasn't concerned until now since I'm kind of invested with the whole place. When I last visited, there was probably two customers max, one of them being a possible relative just stopping by. I feel like the shortage of popularity is on account of the actual restaurant not being a buffet like the other local fooderies, but I find that really sad. The guys working in Seoul, I feel, deserve more praise. The low amount of people eating there does add to the pleasant local feel of the restaurant, though. Interactions with the servers just feel a bit more personal; there hasn't been an individual in there that I haven't gotten along with at the sushi bar. It's nice being spoiled by a server.
If you're ever in the Temple, Texas area, I recommend visiting these guys.
Anyways, enough with the food.
During the middle of the week, I actually visited the doctor. I implored my parents to take me, and I found out I'm sorta sick. Nothing life threatening(hopefulla haha), but I now know I have high blood pressure. Man, I never thought hours of literal sedentary otaku , neck beard growing lifestyle would catch up to me in the manner that it did. Huh. Life is strange, right? Oh well, is what I thought. This just means less greasy foods and more fruits and other unfun stuff I have to eat more of. As a proud member of the United States of America, I will miss you cheese burger.
"I'm probably going to get some tomorrow."
As I type this, I'm actually watching second season of Ghost in the Shell. Ghost in the Shell: 2nd Gig is the continuation of Stand Alone Complex universe. Scrolling through Hulu and doing some Wikipedia research, my findings have come to reveal that there are even more Ghost in the Shell spin-offs than I could ever imagine. I've started watching Ghost in the Shell: SAC after seeing a scene from the 1995 movie. It was of a slo-mo shot of Mokoto doing a roundhouse to a sorry sod's face. It was 10 levels of amazing, and I'm glad I watched the rest of the movie as it is easily one of my favorite movies of all time. Now, the themes in all the different spin-offs/universes. GitS(1995) is mainly about the question of the soul, and whether a soul is unique to just humans or it can be created and born through other mediums. Really thought provoking stuff.
Stand Alone Complex has different themes for every episode; a generalization however is that SAC mainly revolves the problems of society being too "cyberized" that it causes a lot of issues. Kind of like an awareness campaign; at least from what I view it. Also questions of "ghosts" and other soul philosophies tossed in there to remind you that you're watching GitS.
2nd Gig is different however. It follows Section 9 once again, but this time since it's a different organization. Section 9 plays it a bit more aggressively this time, since it is sort of a private military company. As far as the themes go, from what I've seen (all the way to episode 5), seems there's a lot of how society functions as it did without cyber enhancements. Lots of episodes raising thoughtful questions and so on. I'm just glad I get to see waifu back in action.

Last thing I wanted to talk about today before I talk goals again is a movie I saw. Having never seen any of the others besides Fury Road, I've decided to delve back into the nitty gritty world of Mad Max. I watched Beyond Thunderdome and finally finished yesterday. It was definitely a Mad Max movie, probably the most staple of the series. Honestly stayed for the action. It was a really good ride of a movie, except for one bit. If you haven't seen the movie (I don't blame you at all for not seeing this, it took me a good 30 years to actually catch on), please do not read.
SPOILERS Okay, so what was up with the middle section of the movie. When did this shit turn into a goofy, kid flick summer comedy. The music was playful. The action scenes near the movie was straight out of a Home Alone movie(with guns). The redeeming part however was the shoot out and car chase scene at the end. Amazing. SPOILERS END
It's still a good movie, though despite my bitching. I'm glad how everything turned out. It gave us Fury Road, which I can't mentally fathom thinking of a complaint for.
Alright. Goals.
(x)So I did get around to finally applying for Texas A&M. However, I did NOT get to applying for University of Houston. No excuses, I'm just being very lazy. I enjoy being lazy, though.
