ハチクロニュース [Jul. 8th, 2009|09:55 am] [ Current Location | bedroom ] [ Current Mood | excited ] [ Current Music | Anime Pulse - Episode 189: MW - After Story - ] The first Honey and Clover set finally has a release date! September 22nd!! Seriously, how long has it been? Still waiting for the set to be posted on Right Stuf, although I'm still waiting for a VIZ distributor sale before I pre-order that and NANA, since I've discovered that every time I pre-order a series, there's a distributor sale on it before it ships, so I have to cancel and re-place my order... A good chunk of both Honey and Clover and NANA are available on iTunes now, and the first episode of Honey and Clover is free. I was actually thinking of getting the first H&C batch when I was still thinking that there was no scheduled release date for the series, but now I'm just going to be patient and wait for the DVDs. After tiding myself over with the first ep., of course. Yay. :) Link Gaze at the moon.

Skin [Jun. 30th, 2009|11:42 pm] [ Current Location | basement ] [ Current Mood | awed ] [ Current Music | Alexz Johnson - Skin ] I fucking love this song... (Forgive - or enjoy, depending on who you are - the Italian.) There are some awesome live versions up on YouTube too. (This one is clearly lipsynched, and the version on the show's first season soundtrack.) ( lyrics under the cut ) Link Gaze at the moon.

acceptable use of specialty credit cards [Jun. 29th, 2009|10:29 pm] [ Current Location | basement ] [ Current Mood | confused ] [ Current Music | Weiß Kreuz - Instant Karma ] Should I close my Zales card? On the one hand, I rarely use it (bought myself my watch and earrings, and a necklace for Allie as a Christmas present, and that was all before Christmas), and since I got my credit line increases I wouldn't need it either. Plus, I know that using a card too rarely is bad for one's credit. On the other, I also read that closing an account can be bad for one's credit, so it might be better to keep it around for that very rare occasion. Really, I just wish I knew how rare is too rare, especially on such specialty cards like that. You'd think a $100 purchase every 12-18 months (or the equivalent) makes sense when it comes to jewelry. Weiß Kreuz music is awesome. It's like getting all the shmexy (albeit audio shmexiness only) and delicious angst without the shitty plot and animation. Shallow Nastassja is shallow... [EDIT: I think I've figured it out: low balance > no balance > closing account. So yeah, I'll leave the account open.] Link 3 have been calmed.|Gaze at the moon.

Is that self-serving, too? # 00:35 @lugia222 Yeah, that one's hard to say. It's also hard to untangle his desires to diagnose (solve the mystery) and save the life. # Link Gaze at the moon.

Seriously? LISTEN when you're watching. # 20:47 @lugia222 Huh... That makes me wonder what a reformat could do for me... It's been a while. # 20:52 I think I'm gonna love Make It Or Break It.

finally (?) bought Berserk [Jun. 25th, 2009|09:45 pm] [ Current Location | bedroom ] [ Current Mood | blank ] Got the remastered Berserk since it was on sale at Right Stuf.

Actually, it's been a chore to watch the series for a long time now. At this point I've just put too much in to drop it. # 16:10 Cordelia = Cornelia? Heh, not quite. *headdesks* # 18:21 I wonder if people in religions where women aren't allowed to cut their hair are allowed to dust it... Probably not. # 19:15 Bus costs are being slashed considerably. I can't be happy, since I'm afraid of how it'll affect service. # 22:08 Ran about 1-1.5 mi. today. Proud of myself. :) # 22:09 @seoulless You should have pretended you saw sometthing really interesting on another seat and went to inspect it. # 22:28 @seoulless Please tell me your almond bark has almonds in it... # 23:15 @seoulless Not according to many of my customers at RMCF who asked for almond bark when they just meant white chocolate. # 23:17 Watching I Am Legend (full screen :-/) on my iPod. 22 minutes in, and it's very well done so far. # Link Gaze at the moon.

The awesomest ringtone ever. [Jun. 24th, 2009|03:19 pm] [ Current Location | bedroom ] [ Current Mood | amused ] [ Current Music | Gundam Wing - Atarashii Kibou ] By the way, does anyone know what sort of damage can be done to a new internal HD if, for example, the old motherboard it's mounted on goes bad? In other words, is it a bad idea to get a new internal HD and put it in my current computer until I get a new tower? [EDIT: Right after posting that, I called my dad for his opinion, and he said it should be fine as long as it's not the drive with my OS.] Link Gaze at the moon.

children in the parliament hall [Jun. 19th, 2009|05:29 pm] [ Current Location | my bedroom ] [ Current Mood | surprised ] [ Current Music | BBC Global News ] BBC was talking about a situation in the Australian parliament where one of the members' child was ejected from the hall before a vote, and the member wants to have the policies looked at to make them more family friendly. Umm... Seriously? Why was your child even at your work, regardless of the fact that your job is being a member of parliament? Excepting take your child to work day and having your family pick you up after the work day is over, you either need to put your child in daycare or stay home from work if something comes up where they can't go to daycare.

Weird... # Link 1 has been calmed.|Gaze at the moon.

Which is basically the only reason I'd want a Blu-ray player. # 11:54 Ah, and apparently many companies are releasing discs region-free, which means I might be able to get German discs too. # 22:34 @lugia222 ．．．行きたい。 # 23:06 @seoulless Did the update cost money? # 23:08 I feel shallow, oh so shallow... # 23:27 I love how anime always portrays other countries' school systems as being pretty much exactly the same as Japan's. # 23:52 Frustrated by the lack of karaoke/subtitles on the ED for ep. 20 of Code Geass on the DVD. Inconsistency and I really don't get along. # 23:59 @jlist posted an interesting page: Microsoft's attempt to get people to switch back to IE from FF: bit.ly/eR2Ey (Are 2 :s okay?) # Link Gaze at the moon.

new movie by TokiKake staff [Jun. 16th, 2009|12:13 pm] [ Current Location | living room ] [ Current Mood | curious ] [ Current Music | Mask on TV ] A trailer for a new movie by the Toki o Kakeru Shoujo/The Girl Who Leapt Through Time staff is up: It doesn't look as good as TokiKake, but that's a pretty tough movie to follow up. Anyways, I'm still excited to see it, and it definitely seems like it has potential. Also, Hosoda Mamoru seems to have a thing for girls crying exaggerated tears...

漢字の勉強 [Jun. 13th, 2009|10:28 pm] [ Current Location | basement ] [ Current Mood | tired ] Was doing kanji exercises today (reviewing 4 and 3kyuu kanji - procrastination FTW) and i had to write the sentence 「自転車でころんでしまって足が痛い。」, and I couldn't for the life of me remember how to write ころぶ. Turns out it's 転ぶ. That made me feel stupid... I also need to stop confusing 住 and 注. (I never write 住 instead of 注, but I often write 注 instead of 住.) Link Gaze at the moon.

wonky [Jun. 13th, 2009|08:05 pm] [ Current Location | computer room ] [ Current Mood | weird ] [ Current Music | something on TV ] I've been feeling super wonky these past two days. Today around 4 pm I was feeling really... out of energy (not tired, per se) so I laid down for a nap. Got up around 8 pm, and could have easily slept longer. I don't think I'm sick, since I don't remember feeling like this when I've been sick previously, but it might be (with the eye thing yesterday?). The other things that go through my mind are depression (which I imagine my dad would assume), or some kind of vitamin deficiency. I dunno. Hopefully whatever's going on will pass soon. I'm making myself a giant-ass serving of pasta, because I loves me some pasta, and I might not have been getting enough carbs lately. Link Gaze at the moon.

(no subject) [Jun. 13th, 2009|05:01 am] 10:34 @elliewix Because I was frustrated with how little I got done last night. # 22:24 Watching the last ep. of the dub version of the first season of Sailor Moon. Being reminded why that series is the example of sucky edits. # 22:35 *is desperately trying to find an extra 35 GB on my C drive to download ALL of Sailor Moon in German (60.05 GB total)* # Link Gaze at the moon.

vision wonkiness [Jun. 12th, 2009|09:51 pm] [ Current Location | basement ] [ Current Mood | sick (?) ] [ Current Music | 交響詩篇エウレカセブン - レントン・サーストン ] God, i want to keep working, but for some reason I have blind spots in my vision and I can barely see the right half of my monitor anymore. And it's only 11 pm. WTF? Guess I'm going to bed early. Link Gaze at the moon.

Been wanting that movie for forever... [Jun. 12th, 2009|07:12 pm] [ Current Location | basement ] [ Current Mood | happy (?) ] [ Current Music | Daft Punk - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger ] Bend It Like Beckham was in the $4.99 bargain bin at work today. Widescreen, too. Snatched that up. ^_^ Ripping the second Highland Park math team's Math Music CD 2 makes me depressed... I have to be up at ass o'clock tomorrow for my 7 am meeting, followed by a . But at least I'm getting lots of hours (15 total) this weekend. [EDIT: i forgot, I'm getting a ride to work tomorrow, so I actually get to wake up at small ass o'clock rather than big ass o'clock.] Link 5 have been calmed.|Gaze at the moon.

(no subject) [Jun. 12th, 2009|05:01 am] 09:02 Information about the new FMA OP and ED has come out apparently. *sniffles* Only three (?) episodes left... # 10:08 @jlist True that. # 10:15 Day 1, and I'm so glad I'm not working today. # 20:50 Despite having only watched Lens Flare: The Movie (© @lugia222) twice, I can't wait for the DVD. That movie is very shiny, both lit and fig. # 21:39 Twitter RPs are insanely hard to follow... # 21:43 Not doing so hot with the 集中。でもそれが普通。 # 21:58 Caramelldansen =/= Danjo.

fail packaging [Jun. 11th, 2009|11:35 am] [ Current Location | living room ] [ Current Mood | frustrated ] [ Current Music | some tree saw buzzing in the neighborhood ] I know I'm a bit OCD about my anime/manga collection (as with many other things in life), but my Code Geass LE pt. 3 arrived today, and... The CDs are really bugging me. The first OST was a digipak, and the first two sound episodes were in regular-width jewel cases. The second OST and third sound episode? Half-width jewel cases... I wondered if this was because I got a "second pressing", which would be depressing because I could have potentially avoided this situation, as well as a relief because I could maybe find properly packaged versions to buy online, but from the bit of searching I did it looks like that's just how they released it. Which is even more frustrating. I hate to say it, but I prefer digipak to half-width jewel cases. Awkward shelf + no spines to read = frustrated Nastassja. I hate the direction the US anime market is (consumers are?) taking... :-/ Link 3 have been calmed.|Gaze at the moon.

public transit retardation [Jun. 9th, 2009|10:44 pm] [ Current Location | basement ] [ Current Mood | pissed off ] [ Current Music | Stuart (Stewart) purring (and trying to eat my knees) ] So, apparently Champaign-Urbana decided that if I don't make it to the Illinois Terminal by 5:07 PM on Sundays, I have to walk that 1.2 miles home, which Google Maps estimates would take me 23 minutes. Oh, and this Sunday? I'm scheduled to get off at 7. On weekdays and Saturdays I have until 11:11. This is one of the most frequently operating routes during the day time, if not the most. What. The. Fuck. Seriously, I want to go out and fucking stab someone. Who the fuck thought this would be a good idea. NEWS FLASH. THE PEOPLE WHO RELY ON BUSES AS THE ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION THEY CAN AFFORD DON'T HAVE 9-5 JOBS. Assholes. Seriously, I can handle that walk, but frankly I don't want to do it alone when it's pitch dark, and especially not in the middle of winter when it's ass cold out. (Although apparently Champaign isn't as ass cold as Minneapolis in the winter. But I'm told it's cold enough that biking isn't really an option, which is my main plan for handling the safety issue during non-winter times.) Ugh. I'm gonna watch some Hetalia then go to bed.

Which now leaves me with 15 hours of anime-related ones to get through. I guess it doesn't help that the shortest anime podcast I listen to is the size of my second-longest non-anime one, and all the rest are longer than the longest. Of course, that longest one, the BBC Global News, comes out twice a day, whereas most of my other podcasts are once a week. I kinda wish I was still not listening to Manga Pulse... So very tired, and I have to get up at 7 am tomorrow at the latest, but somehow I find myself too tired to drag myself upstairs. Link Gaze at the moon.

on long hair [Jun. 4th, 2009|09:19 pm] [ Current Location | home ] [ Current Mood | grumpy ] People need to shut up and not tell us what kind of hair is "acceptable". As long as it's washed and brushed, it's good enough. The comment that set me off the most? I always wore it in a bun or a braid to keep it out of the way, but one day, I wore it down (it's tailbone length) because we had a meeting that day with no lab work, and she flipped out, saying I was being childish and irresponsible with my hair and it was time for me to grow up and cut it and style it properly. Seriously, I'd be sorely tempted to give that person the finger. Anyways. *stops being grumpy* Turns out I was scheduled to work Saturday, but I brought it up with the person who gave me my training schedule, and she said she'd take me off the schedule, crossed it off mine, and initialed it. So yay, going home this weekend! Because Ellie has a job interview of awesomness *crosses my fingers for her* on Monday, we will indeed be coming back Sunday, so I'll probably be in the Cities less than 24 hours. Anyways, because it's Ann's birthday today, we'll be going out to dinner to celebrate that, too. ^_^ I should try to figure out something to bring home for her... So, tomorrow I'll probably try to work on homework during the morning, then I have training from 2 to 6:15, and if Marcia hasn't gone to bed by the time I get home I'lll try to clean out my room a bit more before I leave (and thus, before I come back from) MPLS. It's not really something I can do without help, since the stuff isn't really mine... I can't wait until I can dig into my online training... ^_^; Link Gaze at the moon.

Bald Spot Yay! [Jun. 4th, 2009|03:02 pm] [ Current Location | CUMTD Illinois Terminal ] [ Current Mood | tired ] [ Current Music | JapanesePod101.com - Upper Intermediate Lesson S3 #11 - It’s One Thing After Another! ] Blargh, getting ready to go to orientation today I couldn't find my wallet... Luckily I have plenty of bus tokens left, but I'm kind of frustrated at not having any just-in-case (or damn I'm hungry) money and having to pay for the bus. The good thing is I'm 95% sure it's in the house, since I'm pretty sure I saw it this morning. (Which makes it all the more frustrating, in a way.) Put my hair in a bun today, and looking in the mirror I found a "bald spot" (caused by my hair bunching up oddly, methinks) on the left side. Makes it look like my hair is thinning or something... Considering how thin my hair already is, I'm definitely not looking forward to that phase of my life... Not sure why, but I'm kind of tired right now. Link 4 have been calmed.|Gaze at the moon.

<3 this song [Jun. 4th, 2009|09:10 am] [ Current Location | living room ] [ Current Mood | good ] [ Current Music | Utada - Sanctuary (Opening) ] Wow... I'm listening to This Is The One, and discovered a "piece" of Sanctuary/Passion I don't think I've discovered before, and there's barely anything going on during that section, so I really should have. I don't have my recorder or anything with me, so I can't figure out the exact notes, but she basically goes BBCBAB AB AB ABCBAB AB AB ABCBAB, etc... That actually continues into the song in the background. Strange thing (?), though... I looked at Utada's website to see if the bonus tracks were listed in the discography, and they're not. No wonder I didn't know those tracks were on it... Then again, I guess that's why they call it a "bonus track". Anyways, I'm glad to finally own those tracks. (Shh... Let's ignore the fact that Simple and Clean is on the COLORS single that I own.) Link Gaze at the moon.

cheap labor [Jun. 3rd, 2009|10:12 am] [ Current Location | home ] [ Current Mood | angry ] [ Current Music | BBC World Service - GlobalNews: 02 June 09 AM ] The very concept of "searching for cheap labor" disgusts me. Cheap materials, cheap processing methods, etc. - that's just fine, assuming it's not horrible for the environment. Even expecting employees to meet a reasonable degree of efficiency is okay. But the idea of wanting cheap labor is essentially relegating human wellbeing to the level of an inanimate object that one can exploit without guilt. It really is the modern equivalent of slavery. Slave masters provided food and shelter but no money, corporations provide money just enough to buy food and shelter. Link 4 have been calmed.|Gaze at the moon.
