"Time waits for no one..."

EXCEPT ME! BWAHAHA!
That's right, I'm time-proof. >:D
It's necessary for my Procrastination Campaign.
Yup.
Yup.
Yup.
Sorry, I was trying to convince myself. La~lala~
In this procrastination campaign, it's a mental war, more than anything else.
Our (me, myself, more me's) weapons are a mouse and a notebook with a dead ODD (this wasn't an intentional handicap, darn ASUS).
Armor consists of an assortment of caps and hooded shirts.
Our modus operandi? Eat good food and watch anime. ^_______^
~~

So first up, the anime~

Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo

It was really good. ^^,
A really, really good watch. :D
I recommend it to everybody who ever comes across this entry (if any at all).
This is not one of those oh-cooooool kinds.
It's one of those light, touching kinds. ^____________^
The official English title seems to be "The Girl who Leapt through Time". From the title itself, this is all about a girl who can leap through time... Well, not exactly. Makoto is just your ordinary high school girl when tada~ all of the sudden, she had time LEAPING (and i mean LEAPING, she LEAPS, lol. You'll know if you watch. ;p) capabilities. At first, she was all, "oh kewl~ time-leaps! SWEET." But well, we wouldn't have a movie that got into anidb's top 10 if she just leapt and grinned all the time, would we? At some point, her leaps involved somewhat bigger matters in life, though it might seem like they weren't. And somehow, things just started to go wrong........
And there you have the conflict of the movie. :D At some point will come the climax~

And then the resolution~

Beware! These pictures may mean or may not mean what you think they do. O~ho~ho~
Suffice to say that they do not count as spoilers. ^___^
~~

Then the food~

Well, nothing like watching good anime while eating good food. ^_____^
But since I don't have the images yet, and I wanted them to do most of the talking, I'll edit this entry tomorrow. (Ahem. Procrastination. Campaign is going oh-so-smoothly~ Lalala~)
Minimal description: Mushroom-shaped Choco-topped biscuits. :D :D

-EDIT-

First, the BOX:

Inside, you find a cute wrapper:

And inside...
Chocolatey goodness~ XD

~~

Tomorrow, Geass shall end.
I don't have any more words for this one.
Lalala~

Unlimited Shades Works

The Matrix Trilogy--
It's all about the SHADES

I just rewatched The Matrix Reloaded. Weeks ago, I rewatched The Matrix.
In my mind, these are classics, oh yeah~
They bring such wonderful entertainment into my boring little life~ ;3
Memorable lines would include...
"I know Kung-fu."
"There is no spoon. (Repeat n times)" [the elevator scene]
The Smith's speech on why humans are viruses and not mammals despite having mammary glands. ETC.
It's all hard to depict in words~
[I have this nagging feeling that I've actually already blogged about rewatching The Matrix, but I'm not sure, so hucarez~ I can blog all I want.]

I gotta quote the French Guy though:

"I have sampled every language. French is my favorite. Fantastic language.
...Especially to curse with.
$^%&*&(#*)*)@*(#*(&@%#&^%@*(*$($^&*()@&*%&^$*~~~
You see? It's like wiping your ass with silk. I love it."

It's a compliment, French people! Be proud. :D
I just gotta mention this. Before I actually got exposed to the Japanese Language this much because of anime, French was perhaps the first foreign language I wanted to learn. I even got a book. But as fate would have it, I lost it. And now I'm in love with Japanese instead. However, as I am a creature whose motivations do not lie along the lines of love, as it seems, at least... I still haven't learned Japanese even after YEARS. Either that, or I'm just plain lazy.
Yes, my latest big procrastination campaign has been running for months now.
Our (me and myself and even more me's) battlecry is "Put off ALL and WIN."
Our official purpose-filled question is "What thesis?"
Ah, yes, ignorance is bliss~ Never mind that it's an illusory one.
My imagination is INFALLIBLE.
At this point, I add Ramblings to this post's labels.

The Matrix Reloaded came out when I was in High School which made it rather memorable, since I watched it on the big screen. First up was that movie tickets lady who almost wouldn't let me in 'cuz it was rated R-13. WUDDAHELL?? I was freakin 15!!! Well, what can I do, I look young. ;)) Awweee, shucks. ;))
Another memory it brings back is the KFC guy fun.
Who knew the creator of the world-famous fried chicken was the resident Architect of the Matrix? Welcome to Neo-Generation Evangelion Salvation (K.F.C.).




It goes without saying that Zion Salvation is the new kind of chicken around. Well, apparently, Neo heard wrong, he went for Trinity Salvation Sandwich instead, in the end. It must be the spice. He just can't resist. Pfft, earthlings.
Matrix is actually a whole load of lulz material.
I'm not good at it though, and I'm too lazy to go photoshooping, so that's all the photoshop failure this blog is ever gonna get from me.

Moral: WHY is powaa.
Secondary Moral: Bullets != Squids. I have figured. Now you go figure.
~~

Here are the pros at lulz manufacturing, entertaining us with their work.
I can't believe I never saw this before. >_>

dNeero 007-009 & The TALENTED Mr. Ripley

I can't believe I only got to watch such a great movie about a decade after it came out! But I guess the fact that it came out almost a decade ago is itself the reason why I didn't get to watch it until now.
I'll save more of my comments after I rewatch it. ^____^
I'll continue the Geass entry tomorrow. ^___^
For now, all I can really say is I'm so happy to have watched such a great movie.
~~

This is all hypothetical, of course.



~~
I could've made a new entry... But I wanted to say...
I CHEAT. BD [One day, I'm gonna use animated gifs for these emoticons at last.]





Bird warning mechanism~~~ OH YEAH. dNeero can really WIN sometimes~
Think aerial traffic lights and such~ Isn't that just kewl? All for the love of birds~

Code Geass R2 24

Okay. I finished Geass about 1.5 hrs ago, but seeing as I need to pretend to follow a schedule, I'll just put in some of my initial reactions and edit this later.
~~

Initial Reactions:
-Lance of Longinus, WUT?? It's the N-Jammer parallel in Lance of Longinus form. WHAAAAT? LOL. Mecha timezzz combi!

-Nunnally, Fng die!!!

-Schneizel turned dumb. -_- OK. I'm not like more intelligent than him or what, but really, he just turned dumb all of the sudden. It was all a good choice of games. Just answer the questions you know the answer to, something like that? Well, Lelou-chan, good job. ^_~ Yeah right. Even the drama doesn't get to me now, Lelou, why doesn't it? Well, whatever, this is initial rxns post, keep it short, self.


-I prolly hyped up schneizel all by myself all to myself, but weeeeeh.. Oh well, I guess that's just the way it is~

He looks evil in this scene, doesn't he? :P

-Nunnally is the last boss. She's the ultimate enemy!!!! Because you know when you're smart and you have to deal with stoopid? It's the worst. o.o Not that Nunnally = stoopid but Nunnally = nil. She's water!! Water, I say! Well, I guess Lelou-chan can easily handle water as long as he has a container... I wonder what container he'll use this time. Hmm. Oh, yeah! I'm looking forward to the last episode of Geass because of water containers~ Isn't that great? ^_______^
[Or at least that's what I think I said last time. DARN blogger editor that can't distinguish between smileys and html tags!!!!! Garrrrrrrr!]


-Cornelia = Alive.

Guilford = Alive.

Well, so maybe Cornelia could've lived but that was kind of OOC for Schneizel. Why would he let her live?? The closest would be that he thinks she's disposable, unimportant. Or he actually loves his sister?? OMG. Actually, it would make a little sense. He doesn't want to hurt people unless necessary but when it's necessary he won't flinch no matter how many people get involved in his evil ways. So he didn't think it was necessary to kill Cornelia? Maybe it wasn't, maybe I get that. BUT, that's only if he actually believed Lelou would win.... Which now makes it inconsistent and which now makes it more plausible that he just thought she wasn't worth the time. If the fingersnap gun technique didn't do it, no need to lift more fingers for her. BUT HOW DID SHE GET OFF DAMOCLES?? Why is she in the hospital?? Did Schneizel think that she was gonna serve him if he let her live? Why does he need her? Oh no reason, but it's good to have more hands around. BLAH BLAH. I DUN GET IT. This isn't worth pondering over. Maybe Schneizel is actually just as inconsistent as Lelou and thus Lelou is the man he loved the most. Awwwweeeeeee. Brotherly love (cough*Ouran*cough). Ugh. But well, wtf, Schneizel is a freakin anime character. Maybe it's just the creators being inconsistent. LALALA.
The bigger mystery is actually....
HOW DID GUILFORD SURVIVE???
IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!!?? Apparently not. Apparently I also can't recreate what I wrote before, damn blogger editor. Garrrrr. So anyway, I think I said something about his love overpowering Fleija, "hime-sama yo! aishiteruuuuuuuuu!!" powaaaaaa!! Then a Shoujo Bubble pops up, envelopes him, and protects him from Fleija. But that doesn't explain the blindman-maybeitsfortheshades-newlook-blahblah-phenomenon. And the crutch. So I think I wrote something about maybe he jumped off from his KMF, got blinded by the OH SO BRIGHT Fleija light, hit his leg badly upon landing, and thus the crutch. All in 0.6ns, so it wasn't caught by the slow Geass cameras. A bit close to the Fisher phenomenon, I believe it's a magic number, see? And THERE HAD TO BE MAGIC IN THAT. And it's freakin anime, wth.

Btw, here's the crutch. Would you believe Geass has Shoujo Bubbles now??? Either that, or I was bored. Which would it be? Focus on the crutch~ It's the key to the Guilford Mystery. Blah blah. It's clickable, btw. Don't wanna miss the shoujo bubbles now, do you?

-I'm glad Lelouch threw away his hat. ^________^ Really though, overdramatic gestures~ :D

No more hat~
Btw, did you notice the weird way they draw hands and fingers in anime? Looks kewl tho.

-Oh yeah... Uhm.. The contact-lens magic was shown up close this time. Conclusion: it ISSSS magic. Well, Geass is semi-fantasy~ with the geass and all.... So uhh. lala.

"Peek-a-Boo, Diethard. Now you see, now you're dead."
Meet Schneizel the gunman:

Cool. B-D

-BTW, Nunnally can see now. I forgot about this rather important fact. I prolly succeeded in convincing myself that she hit her poor head and died (again? FOR REAL.) during the commotion. Well, look, she has eyes.

Pluck them out. /gg (ragna smiley)
Well, actually, I'm not evil. Nunnally can live, I guess. She's just water after all, anyway. Annoying water tho.

Disclaimer(s), etc:

1. I don't claim to own what isn't mine.
2. OLD. NEW (09/25/08).

EDIT (09/26/08):
LOL, IM STOOOOPID. Well, I can't think of an excuse. I just am. HAHAHAHA.
Anyway, I identified my stupidity all by myself, so I guess I could just call myself slow. Euphemism? No reference to Euphy here, I don't like her either. -_-
Oh yeah~ I'm JUST slow.
Blah.
Anyway, crutch != white cane. What, I thought it was a weirdly designed crutch. POSSIBLE, you know... Since stairs still exist in Geass time. Well, actually, I didn't stop to think and stuck to my first interpretation. Which doesn't make sense to me now. HAHAHA. Well, hey, I made shoujo bubbles out of that shit, it's Owww.Keeeeey. Actually, I'm excusing myself, am I not?
Please don't put me in the same category as Nunnally. q_q
But by being stooopid, I'm not nil, so yay? Lala.

EDIT again:
I looked at it again, since I just thought it was a white cane without actually looking at it. It seems to be designed more as a crutch than a white cane. This is based on my imagination. It's infallible. Uhh... Whatever, I'll find out "tomorrow" cuz it's 0230 and I should get some sleep. I mean it, I should get ONLY some. HUHU. I need to work. q_q

EDIT (-"tomorrow"-):
Hey, it was a crutch. My first thought was right. YAY. My imagination is infallible~ :3
Here's a pic and the article it came from, yahoo!

Better than Laser Beam Sabers

It has always been part of my fantasies when I was a kid, and now as an adult who pretends to be a kid, to have a beam saber and becoming a Jedi. Piloting a Gundam equipped with a beam saber is also fine. Aside from the purpose of connecting the title to the actual topic of this post, I mentioned this because… Surprise! It is connected.

If you’re a Jedi or a Gundam Pilot, having 20/20 vision is a plus. Well, I guess the Jedi have their feeling the force stuff, but this is 100% true for Gundam pilots. Also, 20/20 vision is good not only in the fantasy world, but also in the real world. For people who don’t have perfect vision, glasses and contact lenses have always been their good friends. But now, laser can also be these people’s friends, not only in the form of beam sabers in their fantasies, but also as the light that will correct their vision and make the world appear clearer to them.
You may have heard of LASIK (Laser Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis), a procedure that uses laser to correct one’s vision. Now, there is a newer form of this procedure that goes by the name of iLASIK. This is an all-laser LASIK procedure that has been looked into by the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) and NASA for improving the vision of some of their specialized personnel who are usually exposed to extreme conditions. Unlike the old LASIK procedure, iLASIK uses two lasers instead of one. This significantly improves the safety of the procedure since it is a computer-guided laser, instead of a microkeratome blade, that is now used to create the corneal flap before the other laser is used to modify the inner layers of the cornea for vision correction. The laser used for vision correction is guided by the wave-front mapping data that was generated at the beginning of the procedure to map the unique characteristics of the individual’s eye.
Both NASA and the DOD have attested to the effectiveness and the safety of the new LASIK technology. The DOD had the procedure performed on 100 military personnel and 95% achieved 20/20 uncorrected vision after undergoing the procedure! I myself would want to undergo this procedure to have my vision corrected someday. However, according to the LASIK information on their website, I haven’t met all of the requirements yet. But I know someday, I’ll have my vision corrected and become the greatest Gundam Pilot ever!!! Or at least the vision correction part… Thanks to iLASIK!

To hell with design, the penguins are interactive!!

The penguins!!!
They move around~
But that's not all!!! Guess what?
You can move them around, make them bump into each other, pick one up and hit the others, make them move around in circles, have their heads turn, etc!!!
The possibilities are endless!!!! Yeah right, of course not, duh, it's a bunch of flash penguins. But since I am the way I am, I find them to be funnn~! XD
So now I have a new... what do you call that? Tagline? Well, a new watchamakallit.
~Where badly-made banners are KEWL. YEP. Definitely!
Not just for banners! This is also the place where messy sidebars are SWEET.
In other words, Blog to Uchuujin~ OVERHAUL PLEASE.
CLEAN UP, dammit!
Idle lazy git. -.-
But penguins are cute. XD XD
So the clean-up is postponed, lalala~
~~

Another new thing is the icon. :3
I didn't know before that the icon is just another link tag within the <_head_> and < /head > tags. Sheesh. -_- [Darn thing can't distinguish between html tags and blog entry parts. I guess it might be hard, so lalala.]
To change your icon, just add the following code somewhere between the head tags of your page:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="[url of icon]"
type="image/x-icon" />

Voila! New icon. XD
And there I just sounded like a real blogger trying to attract traffic and earn money, right? RIGHT? So do I get cash now? When do I go outside and wait for $ bills to rain down on me? OH BLOG, ANSWER ME!!!
Damn, I need cash! >_<
Why? Because I want to eat! I want to eat FOOD. I want to eat GOOD FOOD.
SOMEBODY FEED ME!!! q_q
Isn't it just sad? I can prolly count the number of times I ate in a restaurant with my hands.
I prolly can't count the number of times I ate instants, and fastfood stuff, and 24-hr konbini stuff even with a calculator.
I just want a little change in my life...!!
Good food, come to me!!
Maybe I should place a donate button here. I wonder if that helps.
I need money for my thesis too, almost forgot about that. LOL.
FOOD comes first. Nyahaha.
Well, whatever. Since I just rambled so much, I am now forced to add another label/tag for this post.
~~

Btw, don't forget to visit the site of the penguins flash widget/blah maker! :D It's included in my nav bar now! And this one should be too, soon. :D
After I post it and get the permalink of course. ;p

Code Geass R2 23

I was supposed to do this entry yesterday, but I got too sleepy and too caught up in an online philosophy,etc. discussion. It's quite interesting to learn about the experiences and thoughts of people you don't know and who grew up in a completely different environment/culture. It's also interesting for me to find people who are willing to talk about themselves so honestly and all to people they don't know. I could probably be wrong about the honestly part, but really, it's easier to be honest when it comes to things like that. It requires less brain power and people who are proud of who they are to a certain extent won't really have it any other way anyway. Well, whatever, this is a Geass entry so let's move on~
~~

So let's start off with the supposedly final boss in the way of our main protagonist Lelou-chan.


Evil? Perhaps. And it's that kind of cold offhand evil that reaaallly catches me, lol.
Cooold natural evil, lol. Why oh why does evil have such an attractive aura to it? Hahaha. Hey, don't get me wrong~ I'm not a Schneizel fangirl or what. In fact I've never been a fangirl, I think. Maybe I should try that out someday, I just don't know where to start.
So uhh... Fangirlism 101 for noobs out there, does it exist? Not? OK.

"Schneizel is the Joker with a finger snap activated gun turret.​ He just wants to watch the world burn.​"
That came with the gg release. lol. I love Dark Knight!!! Hahahaha!
So what is that line talking about?
Well...

Snap!

Bang Bang! [many more bang-bangs here]

You're dead. ;)

"Kanashii ne, Cornelia..?"

Dammit, I love evil!!
And finger snap activated guns?? Totally SWEET! Oh, anime can be sooo muchhhh fuuunnnn~!
That happened in this room, btw:

So, with the direction she was falling, I first thought, why didn't Schneizel get hit? Then I realized the gun was located near the screen. Then I also noticed she was running, so that's why she fell forward anyway. Forward is the easiest way to fall, after all. So, uhh, did this really need mentioning? I sound like some trying-hard detail freak. But I'm not. I just ended up noticing these while reliving the fun~~ ^______^

Wonderful sceneries time~
Gino and Kallen are now best friends. :D

And perhaps they will be more than that in the future. :D Good? Bad? iduncare.
So, now that Gino is fighting alongside the Kuro no Kishidan... why the cape? The Knights of Roundsss costume? Why? Isn't this an opportunity for more costume-change mess-ups him to try new clothes? Since he was always interested in things like that anyway. Well, I dunno, and I don't care so much anyway~
Next.
What is with Nunnally and gardens?? Really, I WANT TO KNOW.

Well, after pretty sceneries, we go to pretty things.
We have the Lelou detonator.

And the Nunna detonator. (It even lights up, lol.)

So uhh.. The makers of the detonators obviously had so much time in their hands, the aesthetics cannot be ignored, huh?
OR this could be an attempt at symbolism. Note the similarity to chess pieces. They were both black though. King and Queen? Dunno.
OR this could be just overelaborate blah of the creators, they'd rather design detonators than clean up the storyboard, lol. WELL, not that I think Geass is BAD. I guess it's just in an anticlimactic period. Could be just the quiet before hell breaks loose. Hopefully 24 and 25 do not disappoint. ^^,
I like geass, it's the only anime that REALLY gets special attention on this blog, isn't it? He.he.he.

Colors are related to aesthetics. :D I believe so. :D I believe I'm right too. :D
Whatever. :D
So, uhh...

Pink light of destruction~


Pink Knightmare Frame~


Pink (? -well, it's close enough. ;p) sword~

Now, why pink? Tell me, why?? The clouds of explosion in Gundam SEED were also pink.
No, really, I WANT TO KNOW this too.
Lalala~

And the last one for this part:

WHY? Tell me, WHY is that being transported/transferred? C.C. cheese-kuns in the truck phenomenon part 2?
Who knows.... The ways of the black knights are a mystery. o.o

So now I go to the ones I just noticed when I was searching for the screens I wanted to blog.

Schneizel side screen:

Lelouch side screen:

I find it interesting that they agreed on the colors. Well, it's good for the convenience of the viewers. Lalala~ whatever.
And they bring Arthur on the bridge, LOL. Think of the possibilities~!!!
~~

And now some random commentary.
So we never really found out how the geass contract works, exactly, etc. And we prolly never will, right?
And Nunnally. Nunnally is water. She has no color. She has no character. She takes the shape of her container. First, lelouch and ashford, the heart shaped container~ *hearts* <3 blah***~ Second, the governor environment. Prolly that would be a box-shaped container. Just because...~ -_- Third, the Schneizel container~ That would be a sphere. Fleija sphere. PINK. Nunnally has no character. No nothing. There are two more episodes, I'm wondering how they will end her. Nunnally has no spine. Sure, believe Schneizel over you beloved brother anytime~ No doubt? No doubt at all?? Or maybe Schneizel is just reaaalllly good at manipulating people or something. But really...! With all the Onii-sama I'll carry your sins crap, shouldn't she, who supposedly believes in the kindness of people and all blah blah, be the last one to stop believing in her oh-so-beloved Onii-sama?? Nunnally, just DIE already. Your memory is okay. Your presence is annoying. Just go Fleija yourself.

3. PINK is the color of Geass. No, literally, look at Lelouch's eyes again. :D
