Chasing After Rainbows

!!! My house is quite warm and there's no air conditioning. The recent rain doesn't help. School starts just next week. Besides food that I don't like to eat, school and IT/electrical-related products, the stuff lying around at home are quite old or not of my taste. The walls have not been painted (let alone washed) since 10-12 years ago. And it's that plain boring white colour. The sound quality of the 32" LCD TV bought at the end of 2006 is like crap. So had to connect to a component system (suceeded by the Toshiba DVD player) that has everything faulty except the audio input and raido that is now more than 10 years old. Speaking of old eletrical equipment, I have 4 PCs. One of them is from the Pentium 2 + Windows 95/98 era connected to mouse, keyboard via PS/2 and 15" CRT monitor via VGA from around 1997. I've since added more RAM (from 128MB to 384MB; more if there are slots) and a hard disk (16GB added to an existing 8GB) from another PC that has brok

If you have all the correct things installed, you should see what you would see in the screenshot above in Apple Safari 3.1 @ 1280x800 For the fonts used on this blog it's "Optima LT Std Macron", which you have to download. If you watch Code Geass R2 (soft-)subbed by ggkthx , this would be one of the fonts used. The following are used. If more than one of the listed fonts are installed, the first available listed font will be used. Here they are: Optima LT Std Macron (mentioned earlier), Segoe UI (comes with Windows Vista), Myriad Pro (also used on various Apple ads), Osaka (Mac OS X font), Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, Trebuchet MS PS. I am thinking of removing that scrolling title. It's annoying. 8 April 3:00AM edit: Made changes such as changing the background and adjusting font size.

"As you enter the church, a godzilla appears in front of you." There was an event at Woodlands Drive 50 at an open field not far from the interchange where I failed to take any photos and sweat in the (indirect) sunlight. Reached at the site at 8:30am and I already say a crowd, mostly children. Ate a bit. At around 9am, had to prevent the crowd from entering the food area until around 10:15am. During that hour many people came and we had to stop them from entering with many people asking me in (mandrin) chinese, which I don't understand. Anyways, after the crowd control, I help out with the food. It consists of some thin orange strings, some small square green things, some light brown spongy things, eggs, and some brown liquid added. They call it "Mee..." erm... I forgot the name. I just dump most of the ingredients into a cup and let everyone else do the rest for the next 2 hours. Ah, I'm so tired. And it's not fun... P.S. I hate camps.

お兄ちゃん！ (see my anime blog or this post for a full list of new spring anime) Don't take is as an overall thing, but the new anime on those days don't seem to attract me. On Wednesday, there is/was "Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's" and "Macros Frontier". (Existing shows on this day include "BLEACH".). I didn't watch them because I don't find them interesting. If you have watch any episode of Yu-Gi-Oh and you would know what I meant. For the other one, it involves too much fighting involving gundams and the fighting+destruction itself. (Same goes to any of the Gundam Seed series. Maybe it's because it's too long and too many episodes to catch up too; Code Geass was an OK mix.) Thursdays is "Kure-nai", "Allison & Lilia", and "To LOVE-Ru". "Allison & Lilia" had an interesting storyline, but it fails on the visual quality and the opening and ending makes you feel like going to sleep. "Kure-nai&quo

In the original post dated 1 April , I made a list on what anime would come in the coming weeks. "Neo Angelique Abyss" happens to be the one that would be airing on arts central, the one that I list as "not likely to watch". "D.Gray-man" is another one that would fall in the same category. The closest that actually interest me is that airs there is "Azumanga Daioh", but that is the stuff of 6 years ago. At least something like "True Tears" would be decent enough. Comparison of the 2002 and 2006 version of "Kanon". Anyways every Wednesday to Friday, there would be no one at home but me. Mother would go to work around 5pm and back the following morning at 8am. Father would be back close to midnight. Sister back shortly afterwards. The same would happen between Saturday and Tuesday. So, between 5pm and 6am, I am actually alone at home with nothing to eat or do. My mother does cook for me around 3pm. If I come home before she goes

[The previous post was an April fools joke! :)] (originally posted here yesterday) As I am lazy to list everything and the fact that complete information can be found online, I'm going to just list what I am going to watch. This post wont appear on the anime blog and it's japanese counterpart , though the links for those listed below can be found there. The finalized version would appear on the earlier mentioned blogs and my friendster profiles Not likely to watch: Allison & Lilia ( it's war themed ) Macross Frontier (the characters looked ugly and uses too much use of gundams) xxxHOLiC Kei (not my type) To LOVE-Ru [pronounced as "trouble"] (too much fanservice, as displayed in all of it's trailers) kure-nai (storyline don't seem interesting, character design not good) The Tower of Druaga ~the Aegis of URUK~ (medieval themed) Itazura na Kiss (don't know much about it, website don't seem appealing) Blassreiter (zombies=horror/scar

I know I have been saying a lot about Japanese things like animation, technology, culture and language and not anything else, but I am moving to Santa Clarita, California, United States of America (where Los Angeles (pictured) is) quite soon as the difficulty living there is better, with better opportunity for jobs and stuff. Also, with tighter security and crime rates lower than it was earlier, it's better now. On top of that, I feel that I can get along with the people there than here, partly because I can understand what they are saying. I will be leaving for there as soon as my stuff are prepared and the necessary arrangements are done. Going to miss you guys. :( Do you think I would actually move to there at this time?! Look at the date of this post!!! April fools!!! I can't believe people would actually read this hidden part. I'm going to say it briefly in the next post anyway. Seattle, another possible American city.
