Bills BIlls Bills

Been a long time since my last post. Well, heres a quick update:

Those exams ofcourse are over, but I still feel like I'm in that session...kinda like the session never really ended. Reason for that too heh. My friend Sohaib arrived way back near the end of June. We made loads of videos of some of the sights of Sydney and our University. He's living with me now.

I dont know if I can recall much of what we did during that holiday period (July to August) cuz I was preoccupied with some important "extra" work given to me......sigh. Watched some movies like Transformers which I think really rocked.

Anyway, now Im nearing the end of my last session here at UNSW and I cant wait to go back home. I feel....tired, maybe cuz of all the bills ive been worrying about this session. Infact I seem to be worried more about bills than studies these days....sigh

Its a tense feeling and I have rarely gotten tense in my life but Man, the feeling that you could get a call any moment from your phone company or land lord that their cutting your line or kicking you out....makes it hard to think about much else......but what the hell, you know what they say: Shit happens....deal with it.

I really want to move out and get a place of my own now (or with just one other person who can keep the house from turning into a shit hole). I could use the peace of mind right now, one of the reasons I really want to go back home.....just relax and not worry about bills for a change.

Suffice to say, I just find it hard to do ANYTHING remotely fun in my current state of mind, but I still try...maybe it helps me forget how close the shit is from hitting the fan for a a little while.

Anyway, here goes.

Gaming news:
The only computer game I'm still playing these days is World of Warcraft, though my gaming time has decreased considerably. Heck, there are weeks where I dont play a game these days. My interest faded, but was rekindeled when i discovered WoW private servers. Great, now I can play WoW for free. Days I spent finding good private servers and after 3 weeks of searching came to conclude that the best one out there is Exodus. I also experimented on making my own private server using the Mangos emulator software and managed to get mine working for local LAN play.

Apart from that, had a few games on Sohaibs Xbox 360 (Gears of War and Dead or Alive 4). Played a little 360 on my friend Ali's 360 as well. Just been getting too busy to give it as much time as I used to.....sad really....but I vow to return to gaming later on.

Movie news:

Saw quite a few good movies. Harry Potter' s latest was very nice. So was Stardust which turned out to be one of the best movies I have ever seen, not to mention a great fantasy movie after a long while (Return of the King was the best one I saw last).

Bourne Ultimatum was also pretty intense. Though I think the shaky camera was a bit over done.

Anime news:
Still watching the latest Bleach and Naruto episodes. Devil May Cry turned out to be disapointing. Still also disapointed with the new Naruto character art. It just looks so B-grade! I mean, the first 135 episodes had some really appealing character art. They were kids yeah, but not only cute, but well animated as well. The art and animation in the new Naruto is just plane bad.

Bleach is getting better though. Finally back to the Manga story arc it is getting pretty intense and the fight animations are getting better aswell.
