For something a little more light-hearted.
Saw Hot Fuzz with Mr. Jason and Rashid the other day and it was a brilliant movie, not to mean hilarious beyond recognition. I haven't laughed like that in a long time. Plus, spending time with old friends was a nice breather for a change.

School's soon to be over. I think I see a retake of my math class in my future, but then again, I also see the possibility of taking some good philosophy as well. Next semester should be a little easier to manage, due to the fact that I hopefully won't have the events that transpired this semester happen to me again. I've shifted my focus in my life away from a few key things and I think its for the better.

I'm addicted to Touhou Project games right now. They even inspired me to use the title of the genre (Bullet Hell) for one of my stories, and it fits perfectly. The games originate in Japan and are basically shoot-em-ups (Those games where you have one small little ship that fights entire armada's, one bullet hits you and you die) that place a higher emphasis on story than most games of the genre. They're very addicting as the game pits you against dodging HUNDREDS of bullets at once, but the bullets come at you in colorful and elegant patterns, so its pretty engrossing. And did I mention these games are HARD!?! Because that's an understatement. They make Devil May Cry 3 look like child's play! But that's part of the awesomeness of it. The soundtrack, too is a drawing point. And to think these games are all created by one man....

Writing consists of two major projects of mine right now. One is my own doing, writing a book about a dystopian society controlled by an assassin organization (I've decided on calling it HYDRA), and the ragtag group of people that choose to rebel against it. I've got a very distinct feeling I want to communicate with it, while still making it my own. So we'll see. More details and bits of writing on it to be released at a later date.

I'm also collaborating with Zach on a series of stories to be collected in one volume. Its about a coffee shop, independently owned by a Scotsman, run in the backwater part of a city. Details the lives of the different regulars there who all have very unique and different relationships with one another. Such characters include a war veteran, a novelist with a bad case of writer's block, a masochist, a geek girl, a native american jock, a plus size model, serial killer, and welsh corgie, among others. We're having fun with it and making our own little statements through the stories is a nice thing. Should have something in their for everyone folks.

But I'm being coy about letting the prologue slip, but the coffee shop is called McDougall's.

Alright, that's all for now. This is Kire, over and out.
