This post is a little long, gomen.

♥Linaaaaaaaaaa

Cat pancake~ My blanket is so thick that it's kind of hard for her to get under...

+w+
When I first met Lina, I was sitting cross-legged like I usually do and she was sleeping on my thigh and knee. I think she wishes she could still fit there. TvT
I think she's getting a little fat too... I should stop giving her treats so much, even though they're tiny things. I thought it was winter fat, but she's looking even fatter yet it's shedding season. XD

♥Old news, but pics of the "RyRo reunion" viewable for regged users. I still need to get the pic we took at the zoo statue and whatever else my mom took. XD
And Also this YouTube video

♥MUST DO MORE digi_tomato PROMPTS~~~ Now that I think about it, I was doing prompts way back before middle school rofl.
Following off The Guy Times again:





I'm pretty sure both of these came off the same concept of having some kind of COMPLETELY RANDOM SENTENCE and then constructing a story to follow the prompt. The second one is something I wouldn't be surprised to see in Gintama. XD

♥MarchHare set me up as a Power User on BoxTorrents so I'll probably be aiding quite a bit on the batch releases for ryuu_rogue.

Saddening that they don't allow multiple trackers because then the EdwardK could be useful as a backup, but I'll just have to run both torrents separately since BoxTorrents is a private tracker. Yet despite being a private tracker, it's more likely to be better seeded than our EdK torrents ^^;;;;;

♥So that Chicago trip last weekend. We had dim sum for lunch and then a massive sushi dinner... which actually WAS still at Oysy but not the downtown one. The owner let me have this massssive plate of salmon sashimi and Mom said I should tell them not to order as much next time... which I don't see the point in, since we finished all the sashimi and I was perfectly content with how much salmon I had by the end XDDD I are salmon sashimi monsterrrr.
Well, during the actual dinner itself I was a little preoccupied with playing Pokemon with the owner's kid... XDDDD
We had a freestyle battle at first, but I forgot he didn't have that many Pokemon at level 100 so I beat him too easily, poor guy >_>;;
And then we had a 6-vs-6 level 50-60 doubles battle, which I scrounged up a bunch of Pokemon I had never actually used in battle, including a couple pokemon with only 3 moves so I used some TM/HMs last moment xDDD
But... yeah, I beat him there too >__>; Pretty close too, he had my last two Pokemon at yellow health and they were both fire types against his water. I probably should've let him win because he's never won against me yet >_>; NEXT TIME?!
I did trade with him to help him get a Politoed... pretty amusing there too, because I traded with my Japanese game, and when he got it back he was all "nooooooooo his name's in Japanese~~~~" I asked him why he didn't like it in Japanese and he just said it looked stupid XD; Meh, kids. But after a while, he finally found the nickname changer to change the nick, since the Pokemon was originally his, to his luck.
And then we made a couple poffins (including a foul one... he spilled too many times) and did a Pokemon contest together... which he got last place in since he didn't feed enough poffins... poor guy XD;
The next morning, I asked what he was doing and he was trying to fish for a lvl 100 Magikarp. omg. XD The kid cracks me up but I feel sorry for him somehow, haha. He's got a good appreciation for music at least... plays both piano and violin like me and practices properly, etc.

♥Starry☆Sky～in Summer～ Opening video~ JunJun, Hoshi and Kamiyan~ XD I haven't played the other Starry☆Sky games, but I very much look forward to this one for the cast. XD

♥I'll make a Sales post next? XD Again, most of the posters are double-sided, and I gotta organize most of it still (some of the old 2006 sale stuff is still available, especially calendars). And I'll need to set a minimum order price this time... or something :X

Lina sends subliminal messages to me while I shower

Anybody else follow woot.com? yuethomas introduced me to it back when I was in China, and every couple months or so they have 48-hour Wootoffs... they're in one right now...


and I almost managed to snag their famous bag of crap, but before I saw this page, it was REALLY slow loading, so I went to dinner XDDDDD Of course, they were sold out by the time I got back. Oh well.~
Has anyone actually gotten one before? What did you get?! XD

[dream]
Such a weird dream I had last night...

onkei_kun and hanjie (tchao) were visiting. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMm.
( ....hahahaha )

[meme]
The meme going everywhereee.
Comment to this entry and I'll pick three of your fandoms. You must then update your journal and answer the following questions:

01: What got you into this fandom in the first place?
02: Do you think you'll stay in this fandom or eventually move on?
03: Favorite episodes/books/movies/etc.?
04: Do you participate in this fandom (fanfiction, graphics, discussions)?
05: Do you think that more people should get into this fandom?

Because I'm weird, I asked multiple people on purpose so I could get more to do... XD
From iceburgundy: Digimon, Legendz, and - of course - Onmyou Taisenki!
From uver_chan: 1.Gintama 2.Digimon ( you knew I would say this right? XD) 3.Pokemon
From tategamiwolf: Onmyou of course <3 and... hmm, going off your lj interests/joined comms, Hikaru no Go, and TWEWY. :3

Answering in chronological order of when I started them...

I has a Splash in my Gaia Aquarium Tank now :D
Aquarium Overseer stopped giving awesome prizes, so my income there has been reduced quite a bit :< But the Booty Grab is still bringing in a good ~10k a day.
The variety in my tank right now is perfect-o~ But Lazor Fish is due to die soon, and buying another one off the market is really expensive. And when the Squid dies, I'll probably replace him with another Ninja. But I'm really going to miss the Lazor... :< ~ But in the end I'll probably just replace him with yet another Ninja ^^;

[anime/gaming]
Finally tried out playing mp4 files on the PS3 with the theatre in our basement. CRAZY GOODNESS. Base Ball Bear's Stairway Generation for Gintama looks awesome on it, and HD stuff like Macross Frontier and Sengoku Basara look freaking nice. I watched samples of all the mp4 stuff I could fit on my 2gb USB stick, from Chi's Sweet Home to 07-Ghost (which looks kind of terrible because the encode sucks XD). I watched Basara 6 on it then gave the projector a rest ^^;
It's still very limited since it doesn't play anything in an mkv container, and I'm reading that Xvid can be played if it's copied to the PS3's harddrive, but this is very nice indeed.
onkei_kun, hanjie what stuff do you want to watch when you get here~~~~ I want to hear more otaku japanese stuff out of the theatre XDDD And the projector needs a rest every couple hours or else the bulb will burn out early.
The only problem I have with the home PS3 now is that it doesn't properly connect to the internet :| The SSID is all set up properly, but when it comes to actually connecting, it only comes out with DNS errors. Can't even plug in a PSP with that problem around. Might bug dad about it later.

Well, seems like a lot of my f-list is excited about the Pokemon G/S remakes, Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver (Silver Soul Gintama?!?!?!), but I'm actually not that excited .___.; I mean, I've been WANTING a remake for a quite a while, but not enough to clammor about it as much as I do for anything Digimon. I'll probably play them, but unless they come with something absolutely worth the money and that's not just another DS pokemon game run on the Diamond/Pearl engine, except with G/S nostalgia, not buying the milking. >_>

[hanakimi]
Taiwanese Drama Hanazakari no Kimitachi e (HanaKimi) - Japanese dub

Finished putting up my DVD rips on orz media shares, with both the Chinese/Japanese audio and Chinese/Japanese subs. There are hardsubs of English subs with the Chinese audio over here.
I'll also be checking out the Chinese New Year Special since I'm pretty sure that wasn't on the DVD boxsets~

Leads:
Ashiya Mizuki - Mizusawa Fumie
Sano Izumi - Namikawa Daisuke
Nakatsu Shuuichi - Sakaguchi Shuuhei
Nanba Minami - Nojima Hirofumi

Noji-nii voices over this dude (Danson):

Is it too much for me to say he's like a bishified version of noji-nii in real life XDDDDDDDD SEGWAYYYYYYYY.

The extras include interviews done for the Japanese edition boxsets, and while the other main three have like 3-6 minute interviews, Danson's is 13 minutes XD; Too bad those aren't dubbed too, hahaha.

Other voice appearances:
Hino Satoshi (omg the summer molester WRYYY)
Yonaga Tsubasa (Or at least it sounds very much like him? XD)
I can't find a list of the rest or recognize anymore for now, so feel free to drop me some info if you know any. xD
I've only skimmed a few eps and I'm going to make time to watch the whole dub sometime. >w< ;;; It's been a couple years since I've seen it with the original Chinese.

But oh, this was in the other TW-Drama trailers:

Bara no Koi... Yes those are both guys. But Ella's in this one too. Just what is going on here? XD
and I'm pretty sure it was Hirakawa Daisuke voicing the longer-haired one for the trailers XD

hmmmmmm after all this time, I finally found another stupid typo in AoCIII, this one in the Postscript. Hahahahaha. It's the exact same kind of typo as in the Forward too, except worse because it took out a significant word. kanshin na tokoro ni........ Oops. gomennn moushiwakearimasen xDDDDD

From gokumew2:
Comment to this post and I will give you 5 subjects/things I associate you with. Then post this in your LJ and elaborate on the subjects given.
^- Well, tell me if you want the 5 subjects/things too. xD

From kage_ookami and onkei_kun:
Which Axis Powers Hetalia Character Are You?

Liechtenstein:

A young lady under the care of Switzerland. She’s very clever.
She has a very humble and adult personality, but she will always clearly state her views.
She’s pretty high-tech.


Nation's name: Republik Osterreich (The Republic of Austria)
Capital: Vienna
Language: German
Birthday: October 26th, 476 A.D.
National flower: Edelweiss (same as Switzerland's)
Human name: Roderich Edelstein
Height: Unknown
Age: Do the math XD
-A super power with an elegance that was born of the Habsburg family and prides himself on glorious days that once were.
-Gets along poorly with France because he is always being poked and taken lightly by him.
-His personality is a bit more optimistic and quiet than Germany's, but because he is a bit stubborn, he has been left behind by the times.
-Is the type who loves art, music, and the food culture of his own country. He gives priority to his hobbies rather than to work.
-Compared to Germany, he is also more well-spoken, and it feels almost as though he was raised as a young master of some rich household.
-----------------------------
Austria, the so-called "rich-kid" of the gang. Though wealthy and music-loving, Austria is not a snob, but rather fairly open to people and approachable. Just, don't miss his March concert.

Hey, our birthdays almost match too~
I think I've just been having princes on the mind too much lately... DANUBEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.~
watashi no ouji-sama doko darou~

My best daily feed evar on LJ is definitely icanhaschzbrgr. This feed has given me so much happiness in the past few months.

No offense to anyone who posts there, but I wish there were a version of hetalia that's more informational/discussion-oriented and doesn't get flooded with 50 fanfic/art posts every day. I mean, COOL this fandom gets so much activity (and insane), but I'm only interested in the info/discussion. *swt* Asian Studies major...

More Onmyou Taisenki @ ryuu_rogue!


Gintama 142 :D Hardcore Kagura battol~~~~ The way shounen SHOULD be animated instead of stretching every good battle into 2 or 3 episodes like certain other s-jumps that are still going >_>;


LOL the new precure... Fresh Pretty Cure... Suzuken plays one of the ikemen bad bois, and the mascots are essentially Chi/Umagon and Savers Agumon... with kansaiben. HONMA CHUUNEN... Kero-chan? D8

Anyway I submitted the seiyuu for the bad guys, but not so sure if there's supposed to be a certain way to spell their names... I get the whole East, West, and South motif with the three (where's North?), but errr... ya.

From ledgem:
Your Top 5 Pokemon of all time:

1: Charizard
2: Lucario
3: Tauros (YES. lol)
4: Typhlosion
5: Mukuhawk... err... Staraptor (I still have trouble remembering Staraptor...)

Well, actually I purposely took off legendaries from this list because I have trouble putting them on the same level. I respect people who fight without legendaries unless it's a purposeful battle with legendaries, in which case it doesn't matter XD

Your Top 5 Legendary:

1: Lugia
2: Mew
3: Mewtwo (Movie 1 <3 ~~~)
4: Ho-Oh
5: Zapdos

Your Current Team, and their nicknames (if you have) on the last game you played:


None of them have nicknames afaik XD I think most of them have their Japanese names though.
Yep, still this team, haven't changed it in years.
I'm surprised at the amount of people who think Heatran is butt-ugly. XD I mean, I do have other fire types trained up, but I li3k him with the steel combo. He's like the only fire type that doesn't constantly die in one hit and isn't a legendary. Whoaa the tiers keep changing XD

Top 5 Pokemon you think are the most ugly:

1: All the Regis ._.
2: Nosepass/Probopass
3: Claydol
4: Bronzong
5: Deoxys

If you can't tell yet, I have no love for the inanimate objects/aliens. The 1st generations were mostly tolerable, but after that... >_> Although... Deoxys has tentacles. *shifts eyes* All you Deoxys lovers, I now know your secret.

Top 5 Favourite Games:

1: Red/Blue/Yellow/Green
2: TCG/2 (wish they had kept making these :(~ )
3: Pokémon Stadium/2
4: Gold/Silver
5: Pokémon Pinball/RS

This is going in with my overall gaming experience. Yeah Diamond/Pearl were cool, but the concept had gotten pretty old by then and I haven't been much for the changes since G/S XD

Out of your favourite Type, your top 5:

Flying~ Either that or Fire or Normal. xDDD

1: Charizard
2: Lugia
3: Zapdos
4: Ho-Oh
5: Staraptor

Tag 5 other Trainers
o_o; I tag YOU Pikachu

I should go back to my Pokemon game and try raising my win streak in the Battle Tower. The recent action RPGs these days bore me for some reason and even the grid strategy ones... :X I think I'm just craving the girigiri close-to-death victories that are more likely to happen with the Battle Tower and card games. Real-life grinding is a pain in the ass already. XD

BACK-ON's songs are so hit or miss... I kind of liked their Air Gear song, and their Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2 song is really catchy (the first 2 and a half minutes of it at least), but the eyeshield ones bore me... :(
