LONELY ROLLING STAR

Took my eldest nephew last night to the talkies to see the new animated film Madagascar. It was ok. I'm definatly reccomending it as a DVD rental. There's way too much talking for a kids movies. Still it was fun to see him run around and chase me in a novelty mask. I'm just going express my dislike for skill testers right now as well. RIP OFF. I never win on the damn things. I get so close but then no, tha machine proceeds to mock my by offering me the chance to win some cady... I don't want any fucking candy...give me my toy bitch!

Right now the very thought of McDonalds is making me ill. I've had it more times than I care to count in the last 2 weeks, that or some other equelly processed fast food. I'm banning it from being near me for at least a month, it's not a health-kick or anything, it's just it can give me tummy monsters and a less than impressive feeling after eating. That and I'm sure it's not making me any prettier.

I probably should get back to work. I managed to sneak 15mins toda to do a dire update on my fanlistings. I still can't get hold of the Ken Akamatsu one. Damn those fansliting bastards~!*

*bad attitude possible caused by reading too much Bleach

COLOR BLIND

What has been done? It's not good, no it isn't! Something must have gone a bit haywire I think. The color of my hair is just hideous. What happened? Well I've learnt a lesson never to let the hairdresser experiment. It would look ok if it wasn't for the brown turning orange and the blonde going yellow. Looks like a bit of a toxic spill I think. It's defiantly not a 'me' hairstyle.

I'm desperately trying to fins somewhere to get it fixed. Would have looked better if it was done with black instead of brown I do think. I'm too embarrassed to even step out side. Lucky my sister is visiting at the moment. She'll fix it for me. Darker, I'm a darker kind of person. You know when I had my entire head bleached, that looked better. This... well it's just not right. I can't convey in words about how wrong it actually it is. This, this should be a jailable offence, loss of licence for 6 months and a hefty fine.

If you see me, don't laugh. I'm already self-concious, and I have to show up to AVcon in a few weeks. Not like this I'm not going. Noway, nohow, nowhere. I'm tempted to hybernate for the winter... I'm wearing a beanie if it's not fixed by tomorrow.

OFF BEAT HALO

been a long road to follow
been there and gone tomorrow
without saying goodbye to yesterday
are the memories I hold still valid?
or have the tears deluded them?
maybe this time tomorrow
the rain will cease to follow
and the mist will fade into one more today
something somewhere out there keeps calling
am I going home?
will I hear someone singing solace to the silent moon?
zero gravity what's it like?
am I alone?
is somebody there beyond these heavy aching feet
still the road keeps on telling me to go on
something is pulling me
I feel the gravity of it all

DREAM A LITTLE DREAM

Went to the Belgium with the Sausuga Master last night for some drinks. Eventually got back to my house and spun off some of the many PS2 games that I've got. He was especially interested in the Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga & Nocturne. Played some Katamari Damacy for a while as well. Man that game is so fun. I managed to roll up a 20m 50cm 0mm Katamari on one of the levels. The music is good, the graphics are good and the gameplay is oddly addictive.

I think tonight I'm going to spend in resting though. All that rolling around, and the fact I installed my spiffy new Sparkle Card last night (which r0x0rs more than you know), has left me very tired and almost irritable. For some reason unknown to little old me it seems someone has slowed the flow of time leaving me as normal. Yes, the day is dragging on more than drag-on-dragoon. I'll need to find something interesting to keep myself occupied for at least another 3 hours... Dammit is it really that long...

THROUGH THE EDGE OF REASON

I can't figure out whats taking so long for Digital Devil Saga to download. Did end up getting it on the weekend, still it should be done today if my calcs are correct, hopefully by the time I get home. But that's going to pretty much kill my downloads for the month, I swear I'm missing about 600meg. At least I've figured out where it's coming from though. It's more than likely false net work packets/virus attacks/encapsulation overheads...

It's very boring today. I'm just here to bide my time until I hopefully get a call about my new video card being in. Mmm 1337 256mb GF 5500... thats so much better than that 32mb I've got.

Managed to watch House of Flying Daggers on the weekend. I really liked it. I'm not sure if it was better than Hero though, to me the cinematography was actually better in Hero, although the story moved at a faster pace. It's such a sad ending though.

SOLAR NOISE

So this week I've gotten a total of 36 eps of Bleach (released by [Lunar]), the last of which would be downloading today. I'm still trying to get my 5+GB of Lost, but that seems destined to run into sometime next week. Oddly slow considering the amount of peers and seeders.

Had a bit of a hectic day yesterday, hence the no posting. I think I may have managed to locate a new video card for my PC, My Leadtek GF2 GTS 32mb just isn't cutting the mustard anymore. I can barley play anything new, although it was an awesome card for its time. I will however be replacing it with something much better although not spectacular as I'm planning to get a new PC before the end of the year. The new card is a Sparkle GeForce 5500 256mb, nearly impossible to find nowadays. I'm not holding my breath though. The place I called said they would order it in. I'll find out on Tuesday if it's in or not though.

Managed to get Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne as well on BT. Spun it off and was moderately impressed I like the style of the game, although the lack of voice overs is pretty annoying. I'm trying to get Digital Devil Saga as well, once again Ps2 games seem to take forever though. Spun off Stella Dues which is supposed to be really good. It's not. What a waste of bandwidth. I've really got to be more careful with what I get sometimes. Damn SRPG's, they can annoy the fcuk out of me.

Don't have much planned this weekend. Thinking about getting acquainted with the Bleach anime, and perhaps Trailer Park Boys. Possibly could get motivated to play a game, don't see it happening though. I had a shite sleep last night.

TALES OF FANDOM

Uggh why is my downloads taking so long... come on Lost I really want to see you!!!!

On a side note I'm currently watching Negima! I've got up to ep18, hopefully they will release 19 soon. It's actually pretty decent. I don't know why people are dissing it all the time. It's well worth the bandwidth and I'm sure I'll even buy the DVD, when ti comes out.

Got Ghost in the Shell Special Edition and Wolfs Rain v5 tonight. I was lucky and at shinTokyo they had Wolfs rain Manga! Oh, awesome. I'm looking forward to that for sure...

FAREWELL LOVED ONES

I finally got around to watching the new Sakura Taisen OVA's (Nouve de Paris) on the weekend. It was awesome. I can't stress enough how great the games and series are. I'd have to say they are my all time fav games. And that's saying a lot. Perhaps I'll play Sakura Taisen 3 when I get home tonight... Wait, that's right I'm downloading some stuff as well. A few PS2 games, Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne, Digital Devil Saga, Shining Souls & Stella Dues, most of them are a waste of downloads. I might even think about cancelling Stella and Shining Souls when I get home, I'm never going to play them.

I'm also downloading the entire series of Lost, I got a few eps of a mate (15-22) and I haven't been keeping up with it. It's roughly a 5.5 gig download for the ones I'm missing. But that's the entire series. I'll have to start thinking about putting some things on DVD and storing them. I'm sure I'd fast be running out of space on my poor little tiny 160GB computer...

I just can't be bothered at the moment. No-ones at work, everyone's gone to a funeral, so I'm here almost all alone. What to do with myself. I've already researched Tales of Phantasia OVA, Tales of Eternia PSP (I'm so getting a PSP just for this and Bleach!)

EPISODE III

Ok, I saw Episode3 yeasterday. I've got a bit of a mizxed review. For starters I was a little confused, I couldn't remember what had happened at the end of episode 2 but I got through that. The whole things seemed rushed though. I'm glad it ended god though. That last fight near the laza is awesome. Take that! Darth Vadar... *LOL*

I don't think it's a series that I'm going to buy though, at least not straight away. The powers that be for the movie industry shoudl think about re-making IV-VI.

I'm of to the city today. I'm in dire need of some new work pants, shoes and tops. I might have a look at a few CD's as well... Maybe.

GUILTY UNIVERSE


Oh, where to start with what's been happening the last couple of days. Yesterday at 2:30am my step father was rushed to hospital. We all thought it was diabetes, hes not the healthiest person that I know. But alas after a good 8 hours there was nothing to report. Needless to say I had very little sleep, I was genuinely worried. Ends up just being a blockage in the stomach. Theres the watered down version. The special edition comes with about 12 more hours of extended worrying and deleted scenes.

Well that's whats coming in my Sakura Wars 5 game pack. It's pretty impressive isn't it.

Also got some more info on .hack//G.U Apparently if it sells well (I'm sure it will) it's to be 3 completely separate games, independent stories of each other, although all set in the world 17 years after the events that took place in the last games. The current G.U game is about 60% complete and is slotted for a JP release early next year with a US date shortly after. Also a new anime and manga series will be created as well to coincide with the release of the new game(s).

By the sounds of it the Phases make an appearance too:
- The Terror of Death
- The Mirage of Deceit
- The Propagation
- The Prophet
- The Machinator
- The Temptress
- The Avenger
- The Rebirth

Evil Kite, seems to me to be the bad guy but there is no news on the story as of yet.... ooh exciting!

GRACELESS UNISON

Hell of a day. I'll post more on it tomorrow, it's time for some sleeps for me. I don't think I could have been more stressed...

IS PARIS BURNING?

I'm so bored today. I'd say it's a borderline bad mood. If the day keeps going like it is I'm certain I'll turn. About the only nice thing that's happened in the horribly busy and annoying day is that I've pre-ordered a game.

Sakura Taisen V is my latest order. Everyone that's a regular reader will know what a massive Sakura Taisen Fan I am. So I'm really looking forward to it. Also, it's going to take my "Most Expensive Game I've Ever Bought" award by a mile as well (previously held by Sakura Taisen V: Ep 0 [Deluxe Edition] $95US). The special edition tipping the wallet in favour of $169.90US and that's w/o postage. For that rather large sum of money though you do get some nifty little thingamajig, including a special edition Red metal PS2 controller, matching headphones, T-shirt, DVD & a badge. No matter which why you paint it, that's a hell of a lot of money to spend of a Video Game, one that's not even in my native tongue at that.

Also hear that theres a new Tales game in the making. Tales of Legandia isn't due out until 2006 though, which is a bit of a wait, but they have confirmed a USA PS2 release. We will see how that pans out though, they didn't get Rebirth... :-(

Finished Viewtiful Joe 2 last night. Some of the puzzles are down right hard. Not sure if that's caused by my fading mental abilities though. Still Decent game. Looks like they will be making one more. Damn I'm finishing a lot of games this year. If I keep this up I'll be sitting pretty by the end of the year.

THE ORIGINAL SIN

How's that, theres a new dothack game on its way. It's called .hack//G.U from what I can tell it takes place a few years after the previous .hack games. Theres a bunch of characters that all seem to have names that resemble the previous games boss'. I'm really excited about it. Theres a character that looks like a crazy version of Kite! Awesome. Pity its not due for a release until 2006. I am looking forward to the impending release of .hack//A.I Buster from the novels section of Tokyopop.

Hooray I get to go back once again into The World!!! I really enjoyed the previous games, I just hope this one isn't spanned over 4 titles, that did get a little annoying.

I'm once again headed into the city tonight, which reminds me that I should probably start organising that. I need to take in a few programs and stuff.

DARK FLARE

I've just finished the Davinci Code, surpisingly enough I didn't hate it as much as I thought I would. Granted it was a little boring for the first half to three quarters of the novel, but it was an ok read. There were a few plot holes that I picked up (I'm good at that) but nothing story breaking by any means.

Saying that I've also got to say I don't know why it's a massivley huge best seller. It's rather anti-climatic in the end and left me feeling rather dissapointed as an overall. Come to think of it, there are a few loose ends that seem to be quickly tied up near the end of the novel. For such a drawn out novel, the first half anyway, it really does end very quickly.

I've got a lot of other things to do to day. I've got to go get some degreaser and out and radiator fluid, yes, it's once again time to clean my engine, apprently its had aleak some time ago and theres a bit of a mess to lean up on the under carriage.

BAD STANDARD

The Six Machine is borken... :-( I've got a very odd clunking noise coming from what sounds like the gear box or front passenger wheel. That's not very nice. I've really only just noticed it a few days ago and it's only at slow speed. It's very worrying though. I'm just hoping that it'll go away by itself, but alas that rarely happens.

I've purchased a lot of things tonight in the city, one could say too much. I finally got my new awesome Sakura Wars Callendar. It's way cooler than the last one, the picture detail and quality are top shelf. I also picked up Kare Kano volumes 10-15, which is a decent hall.

I went to the Pink Pig with work to celebrate the twins birthday (part of the reason I'm now uber poor). I wasn't that impressed, the meal size was laughable for the price. I think $27 for a piece of rump steak anywhere is laughable, especially when it's the size of what I had. Put it this way, I won't be going back in a hurry... If ever at all.

WITHIN THE GIANT

Stupid Crappy IE isn't displaying my blog properly... Do't really know what the problem is. everything works 100% ok in firefox. If your not using it upgrade, at least until IE7 is released, that seems to be ripping off most of the firfox features anyway... GHEY

COAST OF THE SUN

Why is it that when your having a really bad day that time seems to slow itself down to the point that you have to experience every agonising minute as if it were and eternity from the black pits of hell itself. Surely i'm in part to blame, I was up reading last night too late, something which I'm not going to do tonight.

Looks like I wont be getting the Ken Akamatsu Fanlisting, for some reason unknown to me they granted an extension to the stupid bitch that's got the approval. There site says they have one month to complete it, I've already counted three. That really pisses me off.

I'm on my last dregs of before I hit my limit, 10 days and only 161.87mb left from my limit, I've really put on hold everything except browsing, skrew getting slowed back down, I'd rather wait 10 more days... It's not that long really.
