I played Castlevania: Orders of Ecclesia the entire day because I needed to beat Blackmore, the most annoying boss ever! I finally killed him, but now I’m stuck fighting Death. ><;; Gahd…

What else do I have to say? Uhh… I need to finish Dead Space this week. and I’m gonna watch the new Transformers movie this Thursday.

Alright, time to sleep!

I haven’t uploaded anything on my deviantart account lately. I wanted to have  time to practice my drawing and coloring before I go back to upload artwork. Now that I look back at them now, they look half-baked. Anyways, the above drawing is one of them. Time to go back to the drawing board!!

Majide! This is the television show’s motto for “You’ve got to be crazy!” It first premiered on June 14, 2008 on ABC. Ten lucky Americans get to have the opportunity to leave the United States to Japan and compete in a Japanese style game show and win $250,000!

Season 1 Episode 1 of 7; watch all of it!

I Survived A Japanese Game Show, hosted by Tony Sano, offers a lot of oddities and quirkiness, especially in the games and the people involved. Majide is the Japanese game show where everything is held. As I said before, ten contestants compete with each other to win a quarter of a million dollars and are divided into two groups. These contestants have to go through multiple games while wearing very exotic costumes, which add to the hilarity of the show. When one team declares victory, they get a chance to explore Japan and experience most of their culture as well as an advantage in the next game, while the losing team is left behind and punished. The punishment usually involves physical work. With the punishment activity included, the losing team has to choose two members to go on a one-on-one elimination round. Whoever loses is sent offstage by the “sayonara mob” and is brought back to the United States.

The series also follows the contestants backstage. Just like any reality show, right? The competitors lives in a Kasai House together with Mama-san, who makes sure that they live within Japanese culture and customs.

Now that I have explained to you how the show works. I will start rambling!

The host of Majide, Rome Kanda, the judge, Masahiro Hurugori or “Judge Bobu,” and the audience are friggen awesome! They bring life to the stage and make I Survived A Japanese Game Show fun to watch.

I feel the same way for the contestants, but they can get too competitive and arrogant. Many of them are out for themselves, compare each other’s physical abilities, and will take any advantage towards the prize money. I guess that is how reality shows work. Anyways, you will see what I’m talking about when you watch it.

You guys have to watch it every Wednesday at 9 pm EDT/PDT! The second season just came out today!!

I’ve been sick since yesterday. I got it from a kid I worked with in my church for Vacation Bible School, which is a fun, educational program for children, three days ago. I have a stuffy nose, a soar throat, and possibly a fever. It feels like my chest is filled with tissue paper. Gah, I hope I get better tomorrow! This week has been pretty crappy due to frequent power outages, but it’s all better now.

[coughs in the middle of typing]

I spent most of the morning trying to get my internet to work. I had to go through the process of entering my information to Bell South, my internet provider, so I could synch my router to my DSL. Just when I thought I got through, I had an error! I was pretty sure I knew the correct password, but it turned out wrong and I had to change my password (again). This happened before. One of my neighbors was getting internet from Comcast and the representative “accidentally” cut one of our cables. I have no idea why, haha. Reentering my info isn’t a big deal since I make sure I keep an updated list of imporant passwords.

Anyways, I’ve been busy playing Castlevania: Orders of Ecclesia, Rhythm Heaven, Pokemon Platinum, and a rom of Earthbound. @-@; I gotta start hustling on my summer work pretty soon.

Before I leave, I just want to say that I’m addicted to this one song from the anime, Big O. It’s called “Apologize,” which is by Tosihiko Sahashi.
