Q: Hey~! We're alive! Are you disappointed?

What a heartless owner, is what my body should be saying after I made it go through a Blood C marathon. I wonder how I managed to eat through the scenes of blood spill and dissected flesh. At times I believe I’ve already gone through such distasteful genre (Elfen Lied still haunts me) and never liking them. But with it comes experience, and when the body learned a thing or two ways of responding, it should stop cringing fearfully.  As the story goes, I still don’t like gore as watching such genre gives me plenty grief. It saddens and scares me to see characters die. The thrill that compliments it on the other hand is why people continue to support zombies or horror movies. Like a runner, it is not enough with just one round of adrenaline rush. It’s Guilty Crown next. I’ve heard a lot about the anime, so somehow I ended back into the game, already half way through 22 episodes.

It’s been three days after the semester has ended, and I wanted to have a good rest before I make an appearance again in January. Just when I made the decision to live my remaining holiday in peace, I was invited to join two others on a trip to New York City. Two first-timers are being brave to plan this on their own, and I agreed to play along with them. I gave them the hands off approach, letting them have the freedom to plan the itinerary while I recuperate. The Big Apple, huh? This may be the one city I’ll reliably return to over time, like Chicago during my undergrad days. Well, DC isn’t a bad deal too, I suppose.

World is ending and here I am counting the number of apples I have left in the fridge.

Buying time,
