What was seemingly just a random day of devArt nostalgia, turned out to be an anniversary of sorts! So marked by the "last visited 52w 11h 37m 52s ago" text, that day just happened to mark the one-year anniversary of my being away from deviantArt! (for those that still don't get it, 52 weeks makes up 364 days which makes up a year)

Sadly though, that's really all I care to say right now. I haven't any immediate plans to halt my streak (my streak of awayness, that is), but I thought I'd like to document my coincidence (since I'm a logging, documenting, obsessive-compulsive, pack-rat kinda guy). So, there, I did. And now, back to my away-dom.

Peace, all.
Miss ya much,

Aggghhhhhhhhh, I can't even keep up with the rest of my life, much less my Messages page! Gah, too much talent... must not miss any of it. Hmph, as if the Add to Favorites-View Recommendation-Open In New Tab cycle wasn't kicking my ass already. The tendency for messages I make online to grow into gargantuan, untamable beasts, complete with a sub-population of ticks, fleas and other good stuff doesn't help either.

Do the polka-dot dance!

So, today I read a journal entry from * ebineesey about how "the world is going to hell" thanks to the crappification of our cartoons. Well, one correction, the US of A is "going to hell", not the world-- we ain't everyone! Anyway, I don't commonly watch domestic, televised animation anymore, but there's probably a reason for that and what I have seen surely represents the imminency of Apocalypse.

A soap-opera about a bunch of poorly dubbed teenyboppers and their social issues more poorly animated than was both possible and done 5+ years ago? That's the new version of X-Men being aired! Perhaps it doesn't stink any more of the death of society than the old-skool stuff, but it could at least be made to be interesting, no? So, with that mentioned, what was old-skool? What were all those good cartoons that used to exist? Let us make tribute!

Batman: The Animated Series (and, NO, that does NOT refer any of the spinoffs-- New Adventures of..., Batman Beyond [echh], etc.).

Gargoyles. (Eventually I think it's schedule changed and slightly adjusted the name of the show, but I never got around to seeing those. In any case, at least the original series was excellent.)

The Maxx. *drools* Ok, I think this would be a good time to start a originally-a-comic-book counter! *slams fist down-- CHING* [#1 (Batman)...*CHING* #2]!

Highlander. This one I feel needs a defense, as I actually wouldn't wipe my arse with the live-action Highlander crap (why use crap to try to wipe up crap?). The cartoon was introduced to me by one of my buds, ages ago, and it was damn intriguing, despite it's inherently ongoing, repetitive nature.

Speed round!

Darkwing Duck, Chip & Dale: RR, Swatkats, Reboot (this would probably still be ahead of it's time), uhhh....! Tail Spin (I would give anything to get that imagery of surfing around skillfully through the skies on a portable, boomerang-sized air-board thingamajigger again), X-Men [*CHING*, #3 in the OACB counter], Duck Tales, Sonic (ehh, only one of the two Sonic series' better than mediocre, actually)...!! Good enough. Oh... well, add Doug first. Now, good enough.

Now, for ADDED value, the Rescue Rangers (C&D) and Duck Tales both had rockin' video games. Additionally, X-Men had an excellent game based on the comic-book (Children of the Atom, was it? The one for the Genesis), Batman had a good one for the Game Gear based on the good original movie, and Sonic had a ton of games which served as the inspiration for the shows (most notably Sonic CD for the Sega CD, I'd say).

I've obviously left out stuff, some intentionally, some because I've forgotten, some maybe because I never knew of them or how great they were. If you've made it this far, you're diggin' this stuff. Tell me what your favorites were.

Tsk, tsk, tsk... I went and [almost] forgot one of the series I originally had in mind planning this list: The Snorks (~wackycracka reminded me-- thanks)! And, along that train of thought, I'm explicitly not adding The Jetsons to the list and am adding The Flintstones. A free cookie goes to the deviant who can give the original family name/name for the show. Also, Scoobie Doo, and, while the original cartoon wasn't too great, Space Ghost: Coast to Coast was the shiznit.

Straddle the fencing!

Oh, ja, ~wise1sush mentioned Care Bears. Now, the Care Bears seemed to be on the Barbie side of the fence, so I never attempted to get into them, BUT I DID find one of the movies on one day and ended up watching the whole thing! It rocked. To those that are familiar with the Care Bears, it... ]]> ~kaoruangel http://kaoruangel.deviantart.com/journal/1492097/ http://kaoruangel.deviantart.com/journal/1492097/ Sun, 14 Dec 2003 00:21:41 PST
Actually, I'm NOT. I'm very near to idle, most of the time. The thing is, that I do have things that I should be doing, and, as a result, I limit myself to zombie-esque tasks; anything relatively involved and I'm too distracted and/or feel too guilty about doing what it is I'm doing rather than what I should be doing. I relate this particular of mine to depression, but I wouldn't categorize myself as depressed ATM; I'm just quasi-depressed.

Ehh... anyway, what was the point in spilling this, again? Oh yeah, finals are coming up and the semester is coming to a close. If I'm not quite as active (or at least not in the same manner as before), you should know why, now.

UPDATE (2003.12.14): Found the word -- " complex". ]]> ~kaoruangel http://kaoruangel.deviantart.com/journal/1460931/ http://kaoruangel.deviantart.com/journal/1460931/ Fri, 28 Nov 2003 10:25:44 PST ~echolalia and ~wearyfeelingail

In recent news, I actually have become more active around here. In representation of this, I have changed my mood to "I'M SO GAY" (, aka "Community Love" ).

Today, I saw my first newborn child. Yep, yep, my cousin, Sabine came up from Haiti recently and gave birth. Then we ate him! Delic'!

Guess what? Wine still sucks; I prefer my Publix(tm)-brand orange juice. I laugh in the face of the common cold.

Saw Fabrice today. That was cool. Apparently his friendlies still ask about me. That's nice.

Gah, sleep is so sweet, yet I fight against it endlessly! What's wrong with me? (reminds me of my behaviour when my mom used to take me to SuperCuts)

Catch ya later, space cowboy! ]]> ~kaoruangel http://kaoruangel.deviantart.com/journal/1448038/ http://kaoruangel.deviantart.com/journal/1448038/ Tue, 25 Nov 2003 00:52:18 PST

Nah! Who am I kidding? Dodging real-life expectancies seems to have done the job this time, though. *sighs* Time for some good ol' Calculus studies.
