Guess I was a bit too bored outta my mind. And blogging it out is always a sparkling option. Though I really don’t have an idea of what to write, considering I’ve been ripping and burning DVDs for the better part of the last two hours. And movies at that. Hell, who keeps movies on their PCs? Oh right, my brother does. But damnit, I don’t, and neither do I have the virtual storage capacity for such stupid stuff. Okay, it isn’t completely stupid, but hey, my HDD was for storing anime/manga/art/books/music– and that too which I download all the while. And now I’ve already run out of space for saving these things; and on top of it all, I’ve to clean out a whopping 9 GB of space to save some movies! And he doesn’t get me any more DVDs either! ( Sucks. Majorly. )

Anyway, that isn’t the point now. Hmm… so I’ve started watchin’ FMA, which I’d heard about a lot, but never got around downloading. The prob is– I don’t have enough HDD space to store the stuff. XD Well, let’s see how far it gets downloaded before the disk cleaner starts whining. Naa… FMA is good, huh. In a very innocent sort of way. Even though there’s a lot of war and violence, it’s really pretty sweet. ( And the movie makes sense now. -_- ) Currently, am at 16th episode– hope I’m able to get to at least half the season before I run out of space.

Oh yeah, I watched Saiyuki Premium OVA – 2nd part. And I understood most of it! Yay~!  I couldn’t believe it though… I mean, I haven’t really learnt spoken Japanese as such, but I could get most of what was going on pretty well. Okay, so there’s a lot of cussing and yelling in there ( which is the easy part when it comes to guessing ), but hell, I even got the proper reasoning part– which was a bit tough for me, and I’d to string each word and whatever meaning I remembered for it, and finally make out the sentence. Heh, so I’d to watch it twice, first time with play-pause-play, and at the normal go second time. But I’m so happy~! Now I’m gonna work more on my spoken Japanese skills, and then I’d be able to watch raws! Woot~! I guess I should start with the dual audio/optionally subtitled videos I have ( so that I can relate what I’m trying to understand to what’s going on ), and then move on to drama CDs– let’s see how close I get to the actual translations. ^o^

On a side note, I discovered a really cool tutorial at Lorelei’s– for makin’ an autumn drop template. Looked really beautiful, but it was very long. Longest I’ve seen till date. And even after making it, I still have to slice and code it for a proper layout. Man… nevertheless, I’m gonna give it a try sometime today ( my mind just can’t confine itself to studies, lol ). Hope I get it right, even if not perfect. And I still have to work on my text effects and sig making skills. Waai~! So much work, so li’l time. Lol.

Till later then~! ( Oh btw, that thing I said about being able to complete a decent portion of whatever I do… I ended up suceeding -grin-… in watching some kick-ass movies back to back, hee. )

Tada!

… for a change. Yup, usually, it’s late at night that I decide to pen down some of my thoughts. But due to the constant splitting headache I have at at this moment, I don’t think I could do any justice to my studies, and Chemistry at that.

It feels like a fever is approaching. Crap, cuz I promised my cousin I’d go shopping
( ?! ) with him. Of course, for a return of some sort. Most probably, a treat at some cake shop, if I get my way. But if I get a temperature, mom’s definitely not gonna let me out. -_- Well, whatever.

So yeah, haven’t been much regular at blogging these days… more like, at anything. Lazying around, watchin’ an episode here or there, studying a bit and sleeping is all I seem to be doing the past one week. And it feels pretty stupid now. Damnit, I haven’t workedin PS at all this week! That’s a huge low… cuz that means my wallpaper hasn’t changed for a week. And that’s boring. ( Kannon-sama said so herself. Heh. ) I also managed to acquire four splitting headaches this week, a new record for sure. Exclusive of the usual dull pain somewhere in the back of my head.

On the brighter side, I finally got my MBD tests activated, decided what parts I needed to polish in Chemistry, discovered some great violin melodies I had for a long time but didn’t realise that they were this good, found out a really cool Saiyuki fanfiction archive, made some nice talented friends, started downloading FMA at last, and will finish watching Gensoumaden Saiyuki today. Oh and! I finally came around downloading the second part of the Premium Saiyuki OVA… man, it was soo frustating to be able to watch the first, and not to find the second part anywhere! 2nd is raw ( never been subbed is what they say ), but hey, I do get quite a lot of spoken Japanese anyway by now, and I can figure out the rest by watching what’s going on. >_> It’s much better than not knowing what happened after the 1st part at all, okay!

Ohhkay… I know I talk a hell lot about Saiyuki ( and never seem to stop ), but hell, it is my alltime fav… and will always be. Its morbid humor, deep running philosophies and ultimate crackiness is something I haven’t seen in any other anime as of now. Even if I do come across something like that, it still can’t beat the grand four, heh. Anyyyyway, Minekura-sensei is damn street-smart for sure. A friend once said that she knows that implied yaoi fiction works better than the actual thing. Yeah, that definitely clicks, but the whole point is… hey, I still am gonna enjoy it to the marrow. More importantly, her plots are pretty much predictable ( especially, now that I’ve read/watched so much Saiyuki ) yet do not get boring at all, and she really does cater to the imagination of the readers, rather than put in abnormal twists and stuff. ( Leave that to CLAMP… everything was a dream till now, my ass! ) But I still love CLAMP. Nobody can beat their gorgeous art. And pretty characters. Huh, my head feels a bit better now. Hmm, maybe I should get to studying. Or watch the 1st episode of FMA downloaded. Tough choice. ;)

Right then, I’d get going now. Enough ranting about Saiyuki. And my life ( ? ). I hope I complete a decent portion of whatever I do today. Seriously. Later!
