422nd post

I have stuff lying around and I don't know what to do with them.
  • a 1997 PC & 15" CRT monitor: Obviously considered "ancient" by today's standards. It's so slow that I can't play YouTube videos at normal quality without lagging. Let's not even talk about 720p videos.
  • VHS tapes: They are seriously taking up a lot of space, but the contents are not important or have digital/DVD/BD versions.
  • Old game console: GameCube, (1st Gen) Nintendo DS, Gameboy Advanced/SP/Color, PS2 and their accessories, games, cables, etc. I haven't touched any of them lately.
  • Assignment books/papers from primary & secondary education and learning centres: Not only are they old, they contain written work I had done, but I don't even look at them now. They take up the same space (or more) than the VHS tapes. Should I keep them for future use or something my (future) children to look at?
  • Empty shopping bags & boxes, used batteries, and 2008 calenders: Seriously, why am I keeping them?
  • Reams of paper: You know, those used for printing you see in offices. I get them faster than I can use them.
  • Unused PC casing/parts: I actually want to make money for getting rid of them and some of which are spoilt or are considered outdated. It's heavy and contains a lot of plastic and metal.
  • Burnt & Unburnt recordable/rewritable CDs/DVDs: They take up space, but still less compared to those papers & video tapes. Should I copy the data to a hard disk drive? Some of them have difficulty reading, but how much space do I need, and what will I do with the discs after that?
  • Cardboard boxes: Some are big, some are small, some are empty, some are used to hold what I mentioned above. They look unsightly as they are of different shape and sizes, not to mention worn out.
  • Etc.
Looks like I have a lot to do. Ugh, look at the dust around too...

I have moved several times in the last few years and had many of the same things to clean up. It is hard to decide what to keep and what to throw out. Just be careful that you don't throw out something you might want later. ^_^ Good luck with your cleaning.

Alternate Dimention (Part 27)

Kotomi dragged me to an empty computer room, locked up all the doors, and closed the curtains. She also turned on the lights, air-conditioning, and one of the computers. What was the point of closing the windows and switching on the lights? Something seems suspicious... Kotomi: "A classmate of mine has fallen ill recently, but the problem is that she the main actress of an act my class has done. I know it's strange for me to ask you for this, but only you can fill in her spot in such short notice. Saeko is now in my classroom trying to rehearse, and to give them the impression that you, Mamiko, have actually practised." I was going to ask why I was playing a female role, but I just remembered that I am now a girl myself now. Me: "But you know I'm bad with memorising lines, let alone on such short notice. How do you expect me to pull this one off?" Kotomi suddenly plugged a wire on me through the bottom of my skirt with the other end already plugged

Review of Autumn 2008 anime

Image
(sorry, Winter 2009 is not yet ready) The Autumn 2008 anime season has ended with the Winter 2009 around the corner. Some are 22-26 series that would continue into the Winter 2009 season (hence, fewer new anime) but I would still count them as Autumn 2008. In no particular order, I would group these anime according to my likeness. (OVAs and live versions are not counted) Didn't watch at all or dropped at the first few episodes: Penguin Musume Heart 2nd Club : It's a second season of something I didn't watch. Battle Spirit & Mach Girl : Just looking at the pictures alone tells me not to watch Bonen no Xamdou & Hakushaku to Yousei: Doesn't seem to be my type to watch. Noramimi 2nd season: Looks like a kid's show and I never watched the first season. Rosario and Vampire Capu2: Had dropped in season 1 as there is no real storyline and the colours used were awful. It had a colourful opening though. Casshern Sins: remake of a 1970s anime. Good storyline, but

New Autumn 2008 Anime / Review of Summer & Spring Anime

Image
(for your info, I did post something yesterday and mentioned that I am having a massive re-sorting the photos at Facebook . On top of that, I am also cleaning up my room and in the middle of vectoring .) For a list of the names of the Autumn anime and links to their official website (excluding OVAs), you can refer to here for the English names, or here for the original Japanese names. Some of the anime that are due next year (2009) on top of the Autumn 2008 ones can be found in the "アニメ新番組" or "New Anime" section. There are no anime carried over from the previous seasons for Autumn 2008, but there are returning anime like "Rosario and Vampire", "Clannad" "ef - a tale of ----." "Nodame Cantabile", "Shougo Chara!" "Jigoku Shoujo", "Vampire Knight", "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" and "Junjo Romantica". Compared to the earlier Summer 2008 or Spring 2008 ones, there are a lot of inter
