Oh my, hi there…
I know, I know, this blog seems god forsaken place, but it’s not. I haven’t written anything here for a long time, but that’s only because I don’t have much to say, neither it doesn’t seem that anyone is actually expecting any new posts. So I just think about this blog as of something called “home” for me, yet from which I’m currently away.
Nothing’s going on… actually, no, that’s a lie. A lot of things are going on, for instance I’m reestablishing connection with the world. For bad of for good I wouldn’t know, however I don’t really think it has anything to do with “good” or “bad”. Things are like this because they are like this.
My Vimeo account was deleted T__T Copyright issues, obviously. That was quite sad news for I liked the place, but some dirty low-obeying cocksuckers humans decided that they cannot actually do with my account. There were so many good PVs there -_-.
But oh well, everything that has a beginning has an end. And so be it. Even this blog will see it’s end one day, but that day won’t be today. Hopefully it won’t be tomorrow either.
Over and out. See you.
So here I am, watching House MD and writing this post at the same time.
Can’t say there’s much going on out here, but what the hell.
Got a couple of cool devices lately – ASUS M50VM P8600 (which modification it was, the one with Blu-Ray drive) and cute external HD 1,4Tb capacity. Makes total of about 5Tb of dataspace, though I’ll probably sell small drives (less than 500 Gb, makes 3*320 + 1*250 + 1*200 = about the same 1,4Tb loss).
The one I’ve got is Seagate FreeAgent Desk, USB only. eSata+FW version is nice, but I’m kinda need all extra money I can save now. Dunno for what, though.
Watching House MD for the last week. The series’ name keep popping here and there, so I’ve gave it a try and get hooked probably. I don’t like surgery or any other anatomic details, so I skip ‘em, but series itself is great.
Playing Prince of Persia and trying to launch Everlight, later about that.
I cant get the proper wording for the hard stuff that is on my mind, so I’ll skip it as usual. However smoke this evening would be fitting, but being given that’s already 2:20 AM – stage failed, I say. Ah, but whatever, I don’t need this already.
I was busy lately, so I’ve had to skip last weeks Clannad, and few other ongoing series. So, tomorrow is going to be a great return – a couple of Clannad, a bunch of Shugo Chara, shot of Mai-Otome S.ifr, bite of Kyo no Go no Ni – it’ll be an overdose, I’ll be feeling happy for whole monday I guess.
All for now, do not expect anything soon – I’m lazy, on the other hand I feel guilty leaving the blog empty, on the another other hand I still don’t want to close it.
Hi there, I’m still alive. Not actually “alive” maybe, but still exist within the bonds of this world, whatever.
Today… well, it’s my 5th anniversary since I’ve started watching anime. Someone might find it pathetic or not worthy to celebrate, but I won’t care about it in the drunk state I am in. And, according my my drafts of this post, I won’t care either way.
Well, I wrote a nice post already, but I don’t think I’ll publish it ever. Thought are really for myself, and I’m not into sharing ‘em with others, no matter how drunk I am.
So, that is, I am celebrating today – the only day in the whole year I really waiting for. Birthday have no meaning celebrating alone, also there’s a lot of dark anniversaries I don’t even want to remember about, New Year makes no difference (2007 and 2008 seems like a one year for me).
So, a shot of Chivas Regal 18yo (in addition to the 0.8l of beer in restaurant this evening), a cup of Milk Oolong tea, and a book of Pretty Face to read – cheers!
Ohh, I haven’t write those “various” posts for a while now. I guess it’s time.
First. There was no “PVs” issues lately – well, yeah. I don’t have much time to up everything and write description, even though I have a lot of content ready to go. It’s not that I am tired or anything – but somehow I just don’t want to write anything here, for no reason. So I’m having a break, until I’ll return to my senses, or ‘ll be able to fake my “returning to senses” properly.
I’ve returned to watch ongoing anime lately, thanks to Clannad. The series deserves a whole post, but I really can’t write that much of text the way it’ll be interesting to read. But in a few words – Clannad have the most beautiful characters I’ve ever seen. And it is a true pleasure to watch second season now. Nagisa-сhan ja arimasen ka?…
Also wathcing second season of Shugo Chara (“A, shugoi chara da!“), and picked up Yozakura Quartet. Ah, and finished Mnemosyne – dark, deep and beautiful; one more “post to write someday”.
I guess it’s all for now. Not that much, but the only thing left to write about, is how much I hate russians, and I really don’t want to write about this. Keep smiling =)
Yes, I’ve finally finished “Columbo”, 69 movies about half 73 minutes, half 93 minutes length.
It was like hell – I’m coming back from work, eating and watching, then before going to sleep I watch another movie – and every day is like this. On the weekends I’m trying to watch as much as possible too, eight to ten movies per day, if there’s no activities. Painful enough, because I just can’t watch anime or read manga while I’m on hook. It was the same when I watched “Poirot” (with David Suchet) -_-
But now, when it’s finally over – I’m sad that there will be no more of it. Strange as it is…
Okay, what’s new.
Nothing really happening here, just usual. Working the whole week, every single day trying to finish the work ASAP and go home. I am tired. Sometimes I want to send sort of SMS to my boss, tell him to go fuck himself, and that I won’t work for him again, and than to break my mobile phone (NEC e949, it is shit and should to be broken regardless). I can’t do so for only one reason – boss is some sort of relative of mine, and I will need some sort of hideout for a month (or maybe even more) for noone to find me. So that everything is postponed, and I keep coming to the work I… hmm… not “hate”, but rather “tired of”.
It’s already late, and I have to get up early tomorrow, but I don’t want to go to sleep. When I wake up it’ll be next week, but while I’m awake – it’s weekend, so I can rest to my hearts content.
I’ll probably will hate myself thinking like that when I’ll have to wake up.
Finished Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Gameplay is not so great, but the story is worth hearing. I won’t spoil the details, but the whole thing is like a missing link between ep III and ep IV. It was great.
Strange thing – I’ve completed the game, but in the Extras->Videos menu one of the in-game videos still was marked as “Locked”. I was thinking of it being an alternate ending, and it seems I was right – YouTube have some videos of Dark Side Ending (just search it for “The Force Unleashed”).
Now playing Guitar Hero III, with guitar controller. Feels fine =) I should find that South Park episode about GH, but I keep forgetting it.
Visited “Safari Expo” this Saturday. I was looking for some knives, and actually bought a couple, but everything I liked was quite expensive. I just can’t make myself buy a knife worth more than 150$, it makes me think about how much merchandise I can buy instead. And the ones that cheaper are mostly no fun.
I’ve also realised, that I have no idea what should I take pictures off (I’ve had a camera on me). Maybe the expo wasn’t that great, maybe something wrong with me, who knows.
I guess that’s all for this week. Let’s hope I won’t die at the work next week. Let’s hope I’ll die before it -__-
Hi there.
I’ve decided to write anything today, even there isn’t much to write about.
After past week’s non-stop non-sleeping (five day total it was) I’m getting some extra rest. Current schedule: Wake up (around 6 AM) – cup of coffee – going work – working about 6,5 hours – going home – shower – one “Columbo” movie (plus glass of Baileys or whiskey sometime, depends on the mood) – going to sleep (around 8 PM). However, I find such schedule quite boring and annoying. Boring – because it’s the same thing (except movie) every day; annoying – because there’s no “dinner” in this schedule, not even “lunch”! C’mon, gimme a “snack” at least, I’m hungry T__T Well, I hope I’ll be able to get some food tomorrow.
Nothing interesting at work. Well, I’ve got a pay-rise, that might be good. But I’m so tired of this work already, I wonder should I do a “leap of faith” and quit this place even if I have nowhere to go to…
Guess, that’s all for now. Ah, I plan to buy new lens for my camera. If it will be success – than you should expect some photos =)
A whole week without writing anything into blog makes me feel guilty. I’ve had reasons though – troubles with work equipment, which I am to solve by myself. Good grief…
Also, ISP gone unstable recently. I’m currently writing this post in complete offline mode, meanwhile their support isn’t picking up phone.. geh, typical service in modern Russia. While I’m at it, I would like to state one thing – “AKADO” ISP is a bunch of lazy assholes, and if I am to go insane (I mean, completely insane, yes) – they definitely in my “to purge” list. Ahh, now it’s known worldwide I feel better already.
What else… Playing on PS3, dl’ed quite a lot of demos and trying ‘em out. So far only “Star Wars: The Force Unleashed” and “Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm” made me feel like buying a game. To mention, that I am no Naruto fan (first 3 eps was enough for me; setting is completely off), but Naruto fightings are games of top notch, no matter where they were released – PS2, PSP or PS3. One more good thing – PS3′s “… Storm” comes with Japanese audio language support already (dub sucks, regardless on how good it is).
Blog post announcements… I wonder.
PVs vol.1 is in preparation stage (re-encoding PVs currently, so they won’t weight like small digital elephant). Some minor manual is in mind, hopefully to end it anytime soon (<- haven’t started yet -_-“). Nothing major.
Next week I have plans on visiting a Motor Show in Moscow so I can take some photos. I personally don’t like cars that much, but it’s a good chance obtain some real-life experience.
My work isn’t much about thinking, means while working I’m free to think about whatever I want without any negative outcome. Being left alone at my workplace, I usually review anime watched before; good memory is an actual hell, but at times like these it comes in handy.
So, while I was walking through all ARIA episodes once again, I’ve realised that impact of the series was so great, that I want the whole set in my collection. That is, putting aside Shinkai Makoto’s movies, the second series I really want on original licence. First one was “Mahoraba ~Heartful Days~”, mostly because of manga.
But, oh my, we all should know Japanese prices on the media, anime DVDs especially. For those who do not – around 4000 ¥ is cheapest (if it’s not low-priced reissue). Without beating about the bush – 22 DVDs comes to 118000 ¥, plus add 13000 ¥ for shipping – about 1200 $ in total. A lot of money, even if I don’t care.
There’s no doubt series worth the cost, it just seems that in next couple of month ARIA will be the only thing I’ll order from overseas. The only thing I’ll order at all, considering living expenses .
Good thing I don’t have to pay for the games I play right away and can postpone buying them, but I wanted Wii to play Star Wars: The Force Unleashed… T_T
Okay, weekend is here. That was sure a week full of work. Ah, but whatever, it’s over already.
Being unable to write anything to this blog neither from work, nor from home, this place might feel a little deserted, but it’s actually not. A post about Soul Calibur IV coming anytime soon, guess that’s only thing I’m currently playing; also, there should be some PV-posts when upstream will allow me to upload PVs; and there’s a small project which is currently about 80% complete.
Meanwhile, Poll of the Day:
