Well, I celebrated my birthday...happy birthday to me (July 23rd). Got $300, bought a lot of manga, Naruto DS for the plane ride, and All Pro Football 2k8 for the 360. I have $80 remaining.

Anyways, All Pro Football 2k8 is an attempt to bring back the 2k football series. I loved NFL 2k5 to death, but those bastards at EA had to sign a contract with the NFL that they can only make football games. I still haven't forgiven them yet for that. APF uses football players from the past that have retired from the NFL (John Elway, Walter Payton, Dan Marino, etc.), and placed them on made up teams, because of course they can't use any teams from the NFL.

Based on reviews, the game feels too recycled from NFL 2k5, the celebrations, the graphics, etc. I don't think that should be too much of a problem, because I played that game three years ago. The game got reviews around the 7.5 mark.

I just finished the first 220 Naruto episodes. They were great, but I skipped around 30 episodes, because they were all filler, and I was really sick of fillers. I am now on episode 5 of Naruto Shippuuden, which takes place two and a half years after Naruto. I reccomend this anime to all Action anime lovers. Some people just won't give it a chance, because of the english Naruto's voice actor. I didn't like his voice too much, but I didn't really mind it. If you can't stand it, watch it in Japanese.

I started watching Bleach again, all in English. I am up to episode 42, and I'm loving the "Save Rukia" arc. It's pretty incredible, the fights. I haven't reached too far, but I guess I'm not gonna wait until Saturday to watch the new episode, so I think I'm going to watch it in Japanese from now on, just like I did with Naruto.

I'm going to Trinidad and Tobago for two weeks, starting August 4th, then school right after that.  

Well, I'm off for now.

Like my tenth blog X_X

I enjoy anime and manga, as well as normal TV, and video games. I always enjoy playing and watching sports.

Today was alright. I had to present my research paper in front of my class in summer school (Not the dumb one, it's for extra credits). It's almost over, but it's a bitch. I think I got a B in the class, because I got a B on the presentation (I had like a 91% in the class...oh well).

I'm still watching Naruto...it's a really long series. I'm up to ep. 170.
