I've let it be known that I'm a slight video game nerd, so I might as well say I'm a little bit of an anime nerd too.
I'm not hardcore but there are a handful of anime/manga that I will proudly nerd-out for. Sailor Moon and Cowboy Bebop have to be my top 2 ... and recently I have been indulging my inner Sailor Moon.
In 2004 they released a live-action Sailor Moon series in Japan and it is EPIC! Don't get me wrong, it's bad - really bad - but it is oh so good at the same time. And who doesn't love Power Ranger-esque fight scenes like this:
Yeah, I know. Awesome.
Seriously though, I actually kind of like it. So far (I'm only 17 episodes in) it's stayed pretty close to the manga - closer than the anime had been at this point anyways. It expands on the girls being in school and not solving their problems in one episode. I like that they use wigs when they transform too. The girls always looking exactly the same when they transformed yet never being discovered was one thing you learned to live with in the anime/manga, but this way makes sense.
It's hilariously bad, but fantastic and I'm addicted. I even kinda wanna learn the hand motions - they're that cool.
And just because I know you all want to see more than just Sailor Moon's transformation here is a little present (the Sailor Luna part is only for the live action show for a few episodes):
Life on the moon is pretty epic.

*Note - I have since continued farther into the show and it goes way off both the anime and manga for a while ... still epic though.

"I'm hungry for some unrest ..."
Life on the moon has been pretty crazy lately. I am exhausted.
I haven't been this wiped out in a while, but I'm kind of digging it. I missed being busy. I just wish I had some more cash to show for it. Apparently, I'm not in the system at my job in Orange so I haven't been paid yet, even though I'm just finishing my third week here.
Last weekend I got a bit more drunk than I'd planned because of it. I'm a fun drunk so it's okay, but I just needed to let go a little. If I didn't, I was afraid I'd actually go crazy. The result was a headache in church (never a good way to attend), but after I got hydrated and rested I was fine.
Our college group's first meeting went really well! We had twice as many people as we were expecting and every one seemed to enjoy it. I had to present the first lesson/discussion so that's another reason I was stressed, but it went over well. That's definitely only through God's help because I was crazy nervous.
Right after the success we had minor drama though, it was frustrating but it worked out. We're lucky too, because it had the potential to be really bad.
Still, all the work and stress is just making me more excited to go to Vegas and see Muse! The Title is a line from "Unnatural Selection". Good song.
Two of my friends saw them in Houston and told me how great the show was so the excitement keeps building! I can't wait for this trip!
That's all really. I was just trying to kill some time before work wrapped up. I finished all I could today and needed to stay longer.

Living on the Moon
So as you can see I changed my Blog Title from 'Nuff Said to Bunny on the Moon ... I'm not sure whether or not this will stick, but I'm hoping it is more original, at least. I can explain it.
When I was in high school I had lots of nicknames - lots. I have a long name so it makes sense, but I had a friend decide I was a lot like Sailor Moon my freshman year because I can be a really big airhead. I hate to admit it but it's true, although, most likely, very few people I know now realize this about me. I like to think I hide it pretty well, but the people who really know me know the truth. I went to a small high school and the name caught on.
I know many out there probably know this, but in the manga and in the original Japanese anime Sailor Moon's nickname is Bunny. I had a friend who knew this and started calling me Bunny, particularly online, so even though I had new nicknames by sophomore year that one still hung around.
Besides, I really do think sometimes I must be living on the moon. I definitely am inside my head enough to be somewhere else.
I've been pretty busy lately for a change and it's been nice, but that's all I have time for, for now
