I wanna be sedated!!
A long day at work, crashed as soon as I got home. Result: Woke up at 10:30 am while I was supposed to be in office at 9 am. Frantic Rush. Got in the car. Ramones started singing "I wanna be sedated" on XM Lucy, the alternative rock channel.
Exactly, I wanna be sedated. I don't want to do anything. I just want to lay still.
Blink 182 sings next, "Late night, come home. Work sucks, I know."
Sigh!

I went to a party a few days back, the kind where a bunch of despo chicks1 get in a room, mix drinks, and start hitting on people of opposite sex randomly, no pattern, no rules. The kind where the usually shy psasi gets carried off for a moment by the general enthusiasm and tries to impress the first cute mexican chick he finds by saying "Hola, Como estas?" and gets shot down, "I am Armenian, I don't speak spanish," and then he retreats to the corner, his favourite spot in a party.
Another bored soul, having forced into this party by his girlfriend, sits next this time and says, "Your friend tells me that you are interested in Anime!". The usual suspects in an anime-conversation ensue. Ghibli, Spirited Away, Cowboy Bebop.. and all. Then he says, "He is a fan of Death Note". Death Note, hah, interesting.
Getting started on a new Anime series is like committing to a marriage. You think "Ah, this is a cool concept" and the next thing you know, you are expected to check out a 12 part manga series, a 37 episode anime TV series, a pair of live action movies, and then a novel.. the never ending vortex of a franchise beast.

Despo Chick: n. Usually male, in his 30s, single, desperately trying to hookup.
