After encountering the egregious misuse of some BGM from Try in the third
episode, I think they would have been best off composing more new BGM
than they did, but at the same time I'm happy that they kept some of the
old stuff.

As soon as Froth-Bite and whoever else is collaborating with them on it
finish up--the show's Japanese run finished a couple of years ago.

I gave it up for a while and went back to school, thus
worsening the drain on my finances severely. I am not looking forward to
what's going to happen when I finish up this time.
I hateHateHATE job hunts. I find both uncertainty and communicating with
strangers VERY stressful, and the combination of the two is enough to
make me collapse into a whimpering heap after a couple of weeks. And
with all my problems, finding a job that I can actually *do* to apply for
in the first place is tough as heck. Just *thinking* about it has me
blinking back tears, although I'm not sure whether they're due to
frustration or sheer terror.

I don't think anyone ever wants to do what they do in their job for
recreational purposes as well (well, except for those lucky folks whose
job is also their vocation in life, so to speak).

E. Liddell, still achey and tired.
