Ha ha! XD I should have found this group sooner. Lord knows I have enough random thoughts about the YGO series. It'll be nice to share them. I'm Kleptomaniac Can Opener, Klepto for short. ^_^
For the interested: Regular Journal, Fic Journal, Riding Duel! My YGO 5D's Community.

Jack in YGO 5D's, did anyone else have the thought that he's Seto and Mai's unholy spawn descendant? I don't think it's possible otherwise for someone to be so vain and bitchy all at once and still make me like him. XD

*goes back to dancing!*

MEOW!

I need a break, wow, I need a sanity break. I am going to the morning and evening shows of tenimyu Dream Live 5 tomorrow, which is going to eat the whole day because it's in Yokohama (Chinese food chance GET?), and I still am not 100% on when my deadline is for my doujinshi... it would help if the printing company I want to use would answer their phones the deadline is 5/23 and I have to go to the doujin printing office in Kanagawa with the original files *gulp* Well. それしかない！

Things I did today:
Woke up at 5, just like yesterday.

Screentone/shade/insert text in doujinshi [so far about e-eight hours]

Laundry part two (sheets and towels)

Went and had a "cream tea set" at Afternoon Tea in Lumine for lunch. Oh wow. Two just-made scones with blueberry jam and cream(I guess?) and your choice of tea, I went for a Darjeeling/jasmine blend. It was soooo lovely.

Updated spreadsheet for English OO anthology. It has a name now! "We Are Gundam." But I should have highlighted the names of everybody who has given me or Jamie updated information while we were going thru the list on the phone, because now I'll just have to ask her all about it again. Baaaaka.

Tried to finish up website for English OO anthology. Spent at least an hour trying to figure out how to write a mail form before giving up. Ugh. Made world's crappiest banner, which I uploaded to the site as a file named "worldscrappiestbanner.jpg" The site looks like ass but at least it is done enough that I can email everybody later tonight and give them the link. I know Nori said she wanted to pass out flyers at Fanime and I'll put the info in my free paper for the 6/1 event.

Snacked on kappa-maki, strawberries and a bag of shredded lettuce and daikon with a yummy sesame-chuuka dressing. I'm still hungry, though. :/ Ugh ugh ugh.

Whined at Erin because I was getting stressed trying to figure out the doujinshi printing place. Keep trying to call them because there is no online moushikomi for "on-demand" printing and in fact it is not listed on the moushikomi PDF either. What.

My back hurts. Suddenly. A lot. I should get out of this chair and go for a walk.

Some pictures from the book I'm working on... warning, very stupid
( the cover will be Saji, Louise.. and a Gundam in a maid outfit )

Oh, I checked the website and we got table assignments for the OO event on June 1st (the one I'm making this Saji/Louise book for). I have a very conspicuous table once again. Ugh!!! People are going to walk in and go "OH SHIT A GAIJIN GET IN THE CAR."

Last night I couldn't sleep, but in a change of pace, instead of sobbing into the pillow about how I fail at everything, I tried to figure out how it went the first time Edgeworth and Franziska had sex. But they just wouldn't stop arguing and trying to outsmart/outdo each other, which has great potential in that setting once they get started the first time, but how to get to that point. How to get there!! Somehow Gumshoe is involved. Possibly rain.

My suggestion for the OO anthology name was actually the winner but we decided to go with the runner-up because it was more general. So, I decided I'd snag the LJ name for the one we aren't using, and use it for a personal fic/art dump: [info]heismymeister

Of course, first I would need time to have fic or art to dump.

So much for that theory.

Job's asked me to work extra this weekend, so I doubt the video will be ready for Sunday. Perhaps it'll still be out late Monday night, but I'm afraid it's looking more like Tuesday'll be the day. Sarcastic apologies to anyone that has to correct their diaries as a result.

Watched Advent Children again last night over at my mother-in-law's. Struggled to explain half of it to Safty. Reckon it'll be the first Blu-Ray movie I get, should I ever fall into a heaping helping of cash and buy myself an HD TV. Mmmm, Hi-Def.

Anyway, off to work I go.

1. I spent nine hours in line at Acen to get my badge. It was smelly, sweaty, and I hate asshole geek guys. People are being assholes, too, and yet I had a fantastic time. I can't wait for tomorrow.

2. Does anyone have techniques for cleaning scans? I'm looking mostly at Neon, Sam, and Junny. The recent AG chapters make me want icons of Kazu, but the scans are AWFUL.

Also, I have Gundam 00 playing cards. No one here has watched this anime. I'm so sad. BUT THAT'S OKAY.

Now I sleep.

(Also, Spitfire/Kazu stuff in 201. *_*)

In other CLAMP-crack related news, I am still trying to make sense of the latest Tsubasa arc.

And this is about as far as I’ve gotten.

May. 16th, 2008 @ 01:41 pm Funny who you run into these days . . .
So I work at a call center, okay? And right now we're doing something for a car company. So last night this pops up on my screen:

Hello, my name is Nina [last name]. I'm calling on behalf of [company]. May I please speak to Seth Wheeler? [I had to bite the insides of my cheeks to get the name out straight. Dub names, yes, but still.]

I then proceeded to talk to these people:

Thank you, sir. Mr. Wheeler? Yes, my name is Nina [last name] calling on behalf of [company] in regard to the Porsche you purchased last year. Are you the person who drives this car most frequently?

And I kid you not, guys, Mr. Seth Wheeler sounds so much like Abridged Kaiba it's not even funny. [Actually, it was very funny. As soon as I got off the phone with him I turned off my headset and started laughing so hard I cried.]

So have you guys ever run into any characters, amalgamations of characters, etc.? I know someone here posted about running into a very fussy Kaiba, and I heard a Marik Ishtar get paged in an airport. I think these are funny stories. We should collect them. So share . . . 'kay?

May. 16th, 2008 @ 09:33 pm long long post on the sports and the library. xD
Tags:
Went for basketball support today. We lost both matches, but HCI did play well. Our boys are weaker than I thought, and defense let us down badly for the girls. But kudos to the girls, who hung on to the very end.

( More on basketball, and match support. )

Anyway, today the soccer boys beat ACJC 4-1. Yesterday, MJ drew SAJC 2-2 and won 2-1 on penalties.

Soccer finals - VJ vs MJ on Wednesday, 4:15pm, Jalan Besar Stadium.

Tennis girls are through to finals.

Hockey boys didn't make it, neither did the badminton girls. But good job, everyone, though you'll never read this. Hahaha.

---

I don't think I've ever expounded on how good the VJ library is. It might appear small and dark and dingy, but it is very good for specific areas of knowledge. I found many copies of The Oresteia, Aenied, Iliad, for some. (Although the quantities in which these were found can perhaps be attributed to the lack of interest amongst the general Victorian population for Classical Greek drama. -_-)

( More praise for the library, plus some rantage! I wish I could join library now. xD Whoops. )

I think... in some little way I'm beginning to understand what it is about this college that makes so many people come back to serve after graduation.

---

Anyway I found the Horace Gregory translation of Ovid's Metamorphoses in the VJ library, the hunt for which inspired the above praise+rant for/on the library. Was so happy 'cause I'd been admiring the copies of Metamorphoses at Kino ever since I had a strange craving for Greek mythology last December holidays. But uh. I also admired their price tags. |D

Here's the opening verse after the Invocation. It is just beautiful.

Before land was and sea,- before air and sky
Arched over all, all Nature was all Chaos,
The rounded body of all things in one,
The living elements at war with lifelessness;
No God, no Titan shone from sky or sea,
No Moon, no Phoebe outgrew slanted horns
And walked the night, nor was Earth poised in air,
No wife of Ocean reached her glittering arms
Into the farthest shores of reef and sand.
Earth, Air, Water heaved and turned in darkness,
No living creatures knew that land, that sea
Where heat fell against cold, cold against heat -
Roughness at war with smooth and wet with drought.
Things that gave way entered unyielding masses,
Heaviness fell into things that had no weight.

Last night while doing random research I found out that the version of Agamemnon that we put up for SYF was the translation by Ted Hughes. ♥ THAT EXPLAINS A LOT. But yeah. VJ library, sadly, doesn't have that version, but it does have the best literal translation by Robert Fagles. I skimmed through it; I like the Hughes one better, though the Fagles one is quite delightful in its loyalty to the text, even as the text encumbers the language. Then again, this is why Hughes was Poet Laureate and Fagles got a medal for lifetime achievement in translation.

(And Wiki says Fagles died this year, March 26. Ah.)

-sighs- Oh, lit skills, come back to me.

Current Music: Flight Of The Conchords - Leggy Blonde
Progress on the new episode goes well. I have to re-record some things and then edit the video together, but if all goes according to plan I shall have it finished by either Sunday or Monday. Not bad, right? Something to look forward to at least.

Rehearsals go well. Guy playing Louis is still having difficulties, but I wasn't acting with him this time. I think the girl playing Harper and I have done some really impressive stuff in our scenes, lots of genuine emotions coming out. Mostly anger and hate and misery, of course. But the director seems to be getting a kick out of our work. Also lots of fun to see Dave, who was the Dame earlier this year in that production of Sleeping Beauty, playing a rabbi. Oddly enough he doesn't struggle so much with the hebrew, so much as he does words like "adept" and "flux". But he's wonderful.

I got the new Flight Of The Conchords CD. Love it to death, although I kinda prefer some of the original versions of the songs, e.g. "Boom" sounds much better on the show for some reason.

By the by, for those of you wondering where "Take it to the hoomph!" comes from, watch this and skip to the 2:00 mark.

Well at least one anything. Who knew? Not I.

That aside, it's Aiko.
And it's a FLAC file, the best i could do at this point.

~MegaUpload~

Yes, it's 30MB, and yes it's just one song, but that's what you get with a flac file.

May. 16th, 2008 @ 12:44 am Gundam chibi figurines
Current Mood: hopeful
I have a serious weakness for Gundam 00 chibi figures. So far I managed to resist buying the HGIF and Character Portrait trading figurine... but was completely powerless against the Petit Plus and Voice I-dolls. XD

Got my set of 5 Voice I-Dolls and turns out, the seller gave me Hallelujah instead of Allelujah! o_o Wow, not that I mind, cause Halle's the "secret" rare character. But I'm now trying my utter best to get hold of Allelujah. It just feels so incomplete without him and his "I have control!". T_T 

Anyway, decided to take a few pics of them for the fun of it. ^^

Ok. I said I liked summer rain. Emphasis on SUMMER. Means warm, usually drizzle. But what is this? It's a frigging chibi typhoon!!

I was walking home when it started raining cats and dogs! I found shelter at a crowded bus station. The next best places where it would be dry and warm (my faculty's library, a café or the mall) were at least 5 minutes away. Thus I waited. And waited. 30 minutes. My whole body was shivering and that guy staring at me to see of my beige shirt was beginning to get translucid or not seriously freaked me out.
So I said "screw it, it's only water, walk home".

Ahahahahaha.
Not funny.
I arrived soaking wet. -__-

I took a shower (only got out when my skin turned lobster-colored from the hot water), am wearing 3 layers, 2 pairs of socks, had my third cup of tea, will cook chicken soup for dinner, took meds in prevention (<- this is the girl who never takes anything unless she's on the verge of dieing speaking).
I seriously hope the only chills I'll get tonight are Supernatural-induced.
If not, if I'm getting pneumonia I'LL SUE!! I don't know who, but I'LL SUE!!

Gah and this 2 weeks before the exams. Why lord why? Because I skipped my final lecture today? Come on, this is probably the 2nd time this semester I skip a lecture for no valuable reason (being too tired to get up IS a valuable reason).


Chick moment:
At least, the shoes and the bag are safe <3 Put them in a plastic bag before running off. If sth had happened to them I'd have run riot. I'm effing serious.

ACen tomorrow! I'm so very excited right now, as I run about doing last minute preparations! A major crisis that involved [info]yangwarrior's car breaking down, which would mean that none of the IU crew would make it up here for the convention, was successfully averted yesterday. So it's all good. [info]yangwarrior is coming  to stay with me tonight. We're going to be meeting up with [info]stellawind and Nicole tomorrow. And [info]suissecheeze, Kevin, and Kala will also be in our ACen group. I can't wait! I will be back after this weekend with lots of pictures~.
