“first impressions”: fall 2009 openings

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

First Impressions are initial thoughts regarding the anime itself. It typically consists of thoughts compiled after cap-watching or screen-watching the first episode and watching the OP a bunch of times.
Fall 2009 is upon us, and because of that, we have definitely new openings. But before I start covering, I want to make something […]

“novel samples”: epilogue excerpt (poem)

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

This is the part of the epilogue where Alexan and Kiria confront each other in the final battle, away from all influences on them. Their final test rests in the gravity chamber of Alexandre, Ralshay’s castle, facing each other in mental combat.
While I haven’t explained this yet, just know for this excerpt that poems […]

“ramblings of the heart”: slice of life

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

You know, I never really understood Vargus’ addiction to anime. I never understood what drew him to 2d characters. I was raised as a upright and proper Jew, and as such I wouldn’t have tolerated watching what he did. Things like “anime” would only draw me away from my duty.
Except, something changed. […]

“ramblings of the heart”: introduction

Monday, July 14th, 2008

I should probably explain this . Ramblings of the Heart takes the characters from my novel, and places them in differing situations (the situation changes depending on the post, and a clue is usually found in there). Because of this, as well as their differing viewpoints, the potential for posting is rather high, […]

“ramblings of the heart”: life

Saturday, July 12th, 2008

Sometimes, I wonder. I wonder about the essence of life and whether a fleeting pleasure or a seasonal fling contains more worth than the downsides. I wonder about what it truly means to be alive, and how one can die more than once and still be physically living. It’s something I think […]

“novel characters errata” introduction

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

Honestly, I don’t think I’ll get away with posting chapters without first posting the characters. Obviously, for the sake of blogging and the fact that one character can make a post tl;dr, I have to split them up, giving them their own post. That’d be…13 main character posts, 5 side character posts, and […]

“novel samples”: Chapter 2 Excerpt

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

This part of Chapter 2 follows a winding down from the battle in the previous chapter and some understanding as to who Vargus really is. The excerpt begins a bit over halfway into Kiria’s diary entry, and ends at around when she’s finished writing it. This won’t be a long read, so please […]

“novel samples” introduction

Monday, May 5th, 2008

From time to time, I see a bunch of people with good writing praised on local fanfiction websites, but it doesn’t seem like the majority of the people want to do anything with their writing past just writing them up. To me, it seems like a wasted opportunity. I feel that if you […]

“musings of the enigmatic” introduction

Monday, May 5th, 2008

Have you ever wondered why this blog is called “Musings of the Enigmatic”? And why the change from “anime blog of a mere shadow”? Well, there’s a few reasons.
Firstly, “anime blog of a mere shadow”, for some odd reason, just immediately made me lose interest. I made four posts, published two of […]
