So I read the 3rd volume of the manga of Saiunkoku and so drawn to that irresistible beard of Ensei, I've been watching the anime every chance I got for almost a week now. =3 More importantly, I cannot help but think of Fushigi Yuugi whenever I watch Saiunkoku. It's the China-esque setting, I swear...

...It does not help that Saiunkoku has Chichiri, Tamahome, Hotohori, Mitsukake, Tasuki, Hikitsu *and* Tetsuya.

In other news, I'm gonna proclaim my love for Kiuchi Hidenobu-san yet again. As Ran Ryuuren, he does not sound a thing like the EXTREME Ryohei. I have officially dubbed Ryuuren's voice as his bishounen voice but I like his EXTREME voice better. Lol...

Another noteworthy seiyuu is Chiba Susumu-san whom I had previously mentioned to have also voiced Gintama's Kondo-san. Like Kiuchi-san, he's using his bishounen voice in Saiunkoku but like Kiuchi-san, I like his Gori voice better.

MTV Splash Page asked "Which X-Men Movie Would You Like to See First?" and most of you voted Deadpool, followed by Wolverine 2.

Most of you MTV Splash Page readers have missed what is known to many as the quote-unquote Big Picture. Unfortunately, I couldn't be bothered enough to sign up and sign in so I can educate most of you MTV Splash Page readers on what is this elusive Big Picture all about.
( If I could've bothered enough to sign up and sign in... )

...Or, I went to the IT show to get a RAM and I came home with a sound card and a busted up headphone & mic set.

(Goshdarnit, I feel like I'm writing the title for a Gintama episode... =3)

So I went to the IT on Saturday with the intention of getting some DVDRs and maybe some RAM or a PS2 memory card since the old one is starting to save corrupted data.

First stop, PS2 memory card. There was a small pile of PS2 controllers on offer but no memory card in sight so I asked the girl standing besides the cart if they sell any PS2 memory cards. She asked me "PS2??" with a slightly disbelieving look on her face and I said yes. As if to confirm her disbelieve, she asked again. Lol... I think I chuckled when I replied yes again. She finally gotten past her shock of someone asking about that bloody ancient console and said no. Gee.. that was an amusing 10 seconds of my life right there. What a great way to start my trawl.

Next up is RAM shops. Real cheap stuff but I already have 4GB that isn't quite dead yet so I figured I can hold out until it actually dies and get new ones. It's not like I can't get it elsewhere at around the same price anyway. There goes my plan.

After that, I spied the discs shop and noted that the DVDRs are f-ing cheap now. So are external harddisks. Tough choice...
Pros of DVDR: don't hafta worry about it crashing on me and losing a lot of data (it's 4.7GB max)
Cons of DVDR: hafta worry about disc degradation and eventual obsolescence of technology (think laser discs...)
Pros of external harddisks: small size, big storage
Cons of external harddisks: prone to crashing (hafta be gentle and cannot drop it), will need to recover a large amount of data if spoilt/crashed/gone kaput/met its maker
...I think I'll stick with DVDRs for now. Or until they come up with a shock- and crash-resistant drives that is able to store data for eons.

My circuit around the convention hall alerted me to the Creative booth and I thought maybe I should check out their sound card. I love Creative's sound card. I'm still using the one that was with me since 2 CPUs ago. It's still working great! Barring the I-kill-your-CPU-if-you-screw-me-into-your-mobo and the variable-sound-level-without-adjusting-the-knob problem. The new (and only) entry-level sound card on offer is actually an upgrade of the one I have and it comes with a headset with mic. The guy was pitching it (the headset with mic, not the sound card) like it's the best thing in the world. Riiiight... I'll think about it first. Ended up buying it from the same guy before we left.

Also, bro made the stupid mistake of assuming we'll be gone after we get some PSP memory cards. We being me and bro and my aunt and her family. Bought the 8GB memory card at the first store he saw even though I asked if he wanted to take a look around since the first store always jacks up their prices. Turns out, there really *is* another store further in that sells 'em much much cheaper. Paid an extra $10 at the first store coz of the assuming. Sucker... :P

We also got 2 rows of those multi-plug power sockets with surge protection for our computers coz with the amount of electronics we have hooked up and the amount of paper products lying around said electronics, I swear, if my room ever catches on fire (touch wood!), it'll bring the whole street down with it. D:

So we got home, rewired everything to our new surge protected power sockets, plugged in the new sound card (the audiophile in me wept joyously) and realized that the freebie headphone and mic is actually all damaged. The lil teeny bits of plastic holding the headphones to the adjustable headband thing was broken so I now have a tiny headband, a mic attached to one of the earphones and 2 earphones that needs to be held to the ears by hand. Aunt said if she's going back to the IT show the next day, she'll go change it for me but she didn't go so the busted up headphones are still sitting in my room.

I really couldn't bring myself to go down again just to change a piece of shoddy manufacturing that I don't even use! Maybe if I had more principle... I would insist they change one for me as a matter of it.

What do you think? Should I start scrounging for some princples and get 'em (the store that sold me the sound card, not the principles) to change a new set for me?

So I was at the base and during the routine security checks and whatnot, the guard on duty asked me "M'am, do you have anything in your bag?"

I paused, breaking into a huge grin and replied with a laugh. Think my exact words were "Why of course there's something in my bag. There's a lot of things in my bag."

So I opened my bag stuffed full of stuff for him to check, for fear of me bringing in like a missile or something coz we all know my bag is actually a hammerspace. ;)

So I started watching 07-Ghost because I ran out of stuffs to watch while I eat my dinner and since I bought the comic because of the megane-kun on the cover, I thought I'd poke around and see who his seiyuu is. It's Chiba Susumu.

Hmm... familiar name but I couldn't place him. No matter, he's another click away at ANN. What I saw next made me went EEEHHHHHHH!?!?!?!? really loudly. Guess what? I've been watching his works all along! He's Kondo-san in Gintama!!

Vocal range FTW!

The last time I had such a violent reaction to a seiyuu was when I found out that Kiuchi Hidenobu voiced both Oshitari & Ryohei.

*pause* Kiuchi-san also voiced yasashiku man Fia Kruez in 07-Ghost. =3

So after watching Ryan Reynolds in The Hugh Jackman Movie, I watched Blade Trinity--in which he plays Wade Wilson without cancer Hannibal King. And then I watched Definitely, Maybe--in which he plays Hannibal King with a kid a father with kid who just attended the mandatory sex ed class. And then, just as I was filing him into the One-Trick-Pony cabinet, I watched The Nines--in which he plays *pause* wait a minute... I can't think of anyone he's played before to jest about??!! D: 3 different types of guys.

Was rather shocked to see him as something other than a wisecracking hotbod. And what a body that is! (lino_en_kuldes was asking the other day "when did he get so hot?!" and my deadpanned reply was "after he left that pizza place". :P) Part One of The Nines wasn't that much of a stretch from his usual repertoire but Part Two was the shocker. That scene in that restaurant with those tears welling up in his eyes. Aww... *huggles*

...Is it just me or he's a teeny bit cross-eyed? *pinch* XD

Sometimes, when you open some websites, do you get this annoying ad that comes on with this spastic sounding voice asking you to "click click"? For me, it's everywhere and since I'm usually listening to some songs or watching some videos while I'm surfing the net (yes I know... why do 1 thing when you can do 164521 things all at once?), I will have that irritating noise intrude upon my song or obscure that key line in the script of my show.

That said, the stupid ad is doing its job real well. It's got more than just my attention. It's got my blood boiling. I haven't felt this much hatred for online ads since that irritating FOX Crime ad last June.

...I think I'm beginning to see a pattern here.

Been watching quite a bit of Timothy Omundson's stuff (suitably stiff and exasperated as Lassie from Psych, bringing out the lighter side in him as Eli from Xena, bohemian-looking medical doctor who is well versed in ancient superstition Dr Levin in SeaQuest), the most recent of which being the episode of Cold Case he was in.

How does he manage to look like he's part of the force even though he's supposed to be a portfolio manager in that ep?! All I can think about now is Sarah Walker's father's immortal words--cop face.

I have this thing with being obsessed over a show whenever it is nearing my exams and this time, it's Merlin.

Had seen it around (how can I not?!), had read what people said about it (oh the subtext!), had even watched a few episodes on the idiot box while studying for my previously exam 2 months ago but didn't think much of it (I think I was obsessing over season 2 of Life then).

This time, thanks to being bored at work and digitalspy, I read the reviews for each episode and lo! Evil Head! Poisoned Merlin!! Risked-his-life-to-save-his-manservant Arthur!!! This is too tempting. Lol... Watched ep 4 on youtube and realised that I really do like bad television shows. They amuse me like no other television shows can.

But DS says it'll get better so I got it all and it did get better. Thankfully. Finished it all in 1 day! *is proud*

...It also has the most 'J's I've ever seen in any opening credit.

Edit: Found an article on how bad TV shows to help you relax during midterms and final exams. I was on the right track all along!

Edit 2: ...Why do I keep associating Arthur with Dean and Merlin with Sam?

Was poking around Deadpool Bungle today and saw this lil gem. Seeing as I needa pop down to LC Kino to get fatboyho his MCAT book anyway (which is like 3 inches thick or something... phew...), I figured I'll get meself some card stocks and make a whole legion of cubeepool while I'm at it.

Took me close to 2 hours to get one done.

I know... It's a pathetic time but what can I say? I suck at arts and crafts. Mum came in and ask me what I'm doing with the scissors and penknife and I showed her what the finished product looks like. She laughed and said "Oh, you are making a robot! I was wondering why you reverted to a primary school kid again." Fun times. It's really been years since I last did anything remotely related to arts or crafts.

...I actually printed 2 templates out. Think I'll leave the other one for bro to do when he gets home since his arts & crafts is better than mine. Or when my urge to get my legion of cubeepool up and running. Whichever comes first.

( Ted Earley likes a certain type )

I've had this theory for a while now but haven't really talked about it other than with my bro... and fatboyho who thinks that I should tell the astrophysicists and let them steal my idea. I sure as hell didn't write a paper or journal or thesis on it nor have I done any research or experiments in the topic so it's really literally up for grabs. Can you even do an experiment on this topic?! O_O

My theory is that: Each planet is actually a Petri dish of sorts. Our maker/creator/TPTB are actually experimenting and when the solar system first starts out, there are lifeforms like us on Mercury. They leave the Mecurians be and observe them, collecting data. After they die out (either because of what the Mecurians do, or they declared the experiment a success/fail/inconclusive and end it there or otherwise), the sun expands and wipe out all traces. Then they move the experiment onto the next planet, Venus. Rinse and repeat and now we're on the 3rd run of their experiment. They are out there somewhere--observing us, collecting data and see how we kill ourselves. And once we've ended our own lives on the 3rd rock from the sun, they'll move onto Mars and see if they'll make the same mistakes we or the Venusians or the Mecurians make.

There's a few more planets and by the time we run out of planets, the sun would've just about expanded to critical mass and kill everything as well so the maker/creator/TPTB'll pack their bags, gather their data and move onto the next galaxy. What a way to wipe the slate clean!

What I'm wondering now is whether anyone else had thought of it this way? =3

There seemed to be a whole bunch of cross-fandom slash fics with Supernatural... Offhand, I'd seen crossovers with Heroes, House, CSI, CSI:NY, Watchmen, Life, and even RP ones such as TG.

What is it about our Winchester boys that made them so slashable? (Wise bro thinks that it's because there's 2 guys in a car/motel all day, everyday.)

What other fandoms have been crossed with them?

After watching all 21 episodes of Life Season 2, I would like to conclude that Ted Earley's type is redhead with blue eyes. Olivia is one. His daughter is one (well, hair's a bit auburn-y. That's still redhead right? Right!??!?!?!?!?! O_O), implying that his wife-her mother is one too. Hell, he even lives with one Ginge' Bond. Lol... Amuses me to no end.

...I like redheads =3

...Feeling a bit bittersweet after watching all 21 episodes of the second season of Life in 2 days.

A whole bunch of shows I liked last year and last last year have not been renewed/will not be renewed/yanked unceremoniously from the airwaves/in danger of being yanked unceremoniously from the airwaves while the shows from long long ago are still going strong. And we all know the new seasons will never be as good as the ones that was made long ago, when they were still new/new-ish.

Either that or I don't like show everybody else likes. Did you like Eli Stone, Pushing Daisies, The Middleman and Life on Mars (US version)?

There's gotta be like a curve or graph or an equation or something that maps when the quality of the show's writing/production/etc versus the length of its run. Maybe we can finally see when the shows' find their footing and start to get better--make networks stay with the show for at least that long. And when they start to suck--cancel those after they dropped past the crap zone. It'll really save people like me from having to sit through all those lousy later season episodes for that long because I'm OCD like that.

What is the perfect number of seasons for a TV show anyway?

That said, depending on how well the new movie fare in the box office (out at the end of this month), they might put out spinoff movies for them both. Here's to hopeless optimism.

A plane crashed in USA yesterday. A plane crash-landed in Japan today. Nat Geo showed Air Crash Investigation while I was having my dinner. Told bro every plane will just fall out of the skies tomorrow because all air communication devices decide to commit mass suicide. It's already giving us enough signs of depression. It's bound to happen don't it?

Jade Goody died on Sunday, which is also Britain's Mother's Day. I don't care if people'll hate you for it but that is just too precious to leave it be. You've *got* to take a potshot at that, Frankie. I'll make it up to you in aggressive forms of love haiku. I swear!

A courageous lil army boy in the new pixelated 8-bit shades of green No.4 uniform just stepped forward to help the bus driver who had driven away while dragging 2 "This is not a safety barrier" plastic barrier that was lodged on the bumper of his bus. Bravo! Everyone gave him a silent standing ovation while they queuing for their buses in the interchange. There are no seats in the waiting line.

Is tempted to watch this new local English 40-episode epicxxxx drama--Red Thread. One, it has Adrian Pang whom I adore greatly. Two, it has blind Adrian Pang and it's been a while since I saw him do anything serious. Three, blind Adrian Pang gets hit by a car in the 3rd episode and that really makes me want to watch it because I'm the type of girl who kicks the shin of the boy she likes and pulls the pigtails of the girl she likes. They are out to bait me, I swear. But conversely: One, it's a local production aka it'll suck from bad acting, cheesy lines, cliche plots and depthless characters. Two, it's in English so there is bound to be a collection of some of the fakest, most terrible accents. And three, it's an epicxxxx 40-ep drama--which means I have to sit through 40 eps of bad acting, cheesy lines, cliche plots, depthless characters *and* a collection of some of the fakest, most terrible accents. I would like to also go on record to say I haven't watched a local TV production (be it Chinese or English) for years. It had never tempted me before and I don't actively seek them out just to insult my good taste. Not even with the other stuffs that the great Adrian Pang was in. O_O

According to bro, FN P90s really do looks and sounds like toy guns. And here I was thinking it was just what TV Land made up for Stargate Atlantis.

Speaking of FN P90... Will the silencers of FN P90 really silence the noise of the gun makes when it is fired? Is P90 designed to fire subsonic bullets? Isn't subsonic bullets already rather quiet? Would the silencer make the bullet more quiet? More sonic? So sonic that the pitch of the noise of the gun firing goes up so high, it goes beyond the human hearing range, effectively making it "noiseless" (to the average humans)?

How does U.S. Patent 4,905,394 work? It goes down, it gets turned 90 degree, it gets pushed out?

Was on the train going home with a friend and she was showing me her new semi-pro Canon camera. (She wanted to go for the workshop where they teach her how to use the camera to its full potential but she gave it a miss coz she's too tired. I think it's because her bf didn't make it back to the office to go with her. Could be just me being cynical *shrugs*) So she showed me lots of photos. Photos of them and her bf's family barbequing during her bf's sis' birthday. There was nice faux totem pillars for decor, his brother's baby and a really fuzzy dog but I didn't comment much. She moved on to show me the pictures of babies that our mutual uni friends had near the end of last year and again, I didn't comment much. Then, she showed me some of the photos of her bosses' boys and dogs when she and her team were out visiting during CNY months ago and once more, I didn't comment much. It could be just me again but I just can't find it in me to coo over kids. Nor dogs.

...You suppose she was waiting for me to coo over them and I should've just acted like I like to coo over kids and dogs so we'll have a bit more to talk about?
