I want my summer holiday!

2008-07-10T17:10:49Z

Well, hello again~
It's been a while but who cares =P

Anyway, I can't really come up with anything proper to write about. I've only been studying and studying and studying and screwing up my exams meanwhile xD Well, maybe I can talk about my long-awaited summer holiday starting this August! *___* I want to do soooo many things but I know I won't do half of them. But I'll at least try to, like editing 2 chapters for Entropy, one complete volume for Boxer&Rice, 2 or 3 volumes for my own group and... studying Japanese because there's this Japanese Languages Proficiency Test in December that I have to take. Well, well, a lot is planned but I'm really looking forward to doing some editing =D I'm such a workaholic... But I'll also try to relax a bit 'cause I want to read Lord of the Rings (at last...). I've already started but haven't gotten very far yet. I'll have plenty of time in my summer holiday. 2 1/2 months <_<;;; I should be able to finish my plans.

So... I have a recommendation for everyone who reads manga, or in this case manhwa, and is fan of shounen-ai: Read Totally Captivated by Hajin Yoo!!! It's relased by netcomics.com, online (0.25$/chapter) and as book (9.99$/volume). I bought volume 1 and 2 a week ago and I love it soooo much. It's funny, with gorgeous guys, and a good plot ^o^

The mafia threatens Ewon into working for a loan shark, where he's forced to run dangerous errands for no pay. The culprit who doomed Ewon to this life is none other than Jiho, Ewon's jealous ex who still burns at Ewon's infidelity. Their gang leader Mookyul, with movie-star good looks and the bizarre, drunken habit of biting people on the neck, takes a keen interest in his attractive new errand boy. Will Ewon be able to survive the violent underworld (not to mention the constant sexual harassment) he must endure as an underling of Mookyul? This funny, hip title by Hajin Yoo will thrill and amuse fans with plenty of intense shonen-ai action

Hm, that's all for now... Till next time! And wish me luck for my exams, still lotsa left >__<

Alcohol... o(>o<)o

2008-06-19T17:33:24Z

Urgh... yesterday one of my classmates forced me to drink vodka mixed with candy. That was soooooo sweet and really nasty. I think I won't ever drink that yucky stuff again (>o<) I don't understand how the other girls can find that "drink" yummy...
Btw, speaking of alcohol, I realised I can't hold my liquor at all. Just that one small sip made my head ache o_O; I can't - or rather I'm not allowed to drink alcohol anyway.

Right now, I'm looking for an electronic dictionary Japanese/German. My tutor has one by Casio but it costs a lot (58.000 Yen). And I don't think I can get one in Germany... maybe on ebay o.O Well, I'll search some more. With luck, I might find it after all xD At least I do hope so... (ó.ò)

Anyone watching Code Geass R2? OMG, the latest episode (ep 9) ...! I...

...can't believe that Lelouch didn't pull Xingke on his side... I already thought that when he kidnapped Tien Zi <_<' That was a seriously stupid move. I wonder how he'll get out of that situation. His best "man", Kallen, is also held captive by the Chinese Federation =/ Tough luck, man XD

That's all for now. I don't want to rant about my studies again ^^' It's getting annoying, I know ;P

Split hair ends?

2008-06-12T17:30:50Z

So, guess what a discovery I made today!
You can bite off hair! O_O Sounds weird, ne?
I tried it today. I was sitting in my seminar and noticed the strange end of one of my hair. It wasn't split or anything, it just suddenly thinned out. Well, I asked my classmate for a scissor but she didn't have one, neither did I. So the simplest solution I came up with (to make a clean "cut" to my hair) was: biting it off!
And it worked very well. It came off really easily. That was surprising. I thought hair was a bit sturdier... Well, I'm not sure about others' hair but mine is rather thick. It might not work with thinner hair.
Well, try it if you ever see split hair ends (on your own head ;P) and don't have a scissor with you.

Just now, I participated in a survey. It was interesting. I had to fill out a questionnaire and I was allowed to play a puzzle. They tested our emotions in regard of teamwork, whether it influences our other teammates.
I dunno what the results will be. They'll e-mail us though. Btw, of all the teams we were the ones who got the farthest with the puzzle xD

Oh yes, my sister and I made chocolate mint muffins (°¬°) We made 12 and now there're only 3 left (ToT) 1 for me 2 for my sister. This evening I'll eat the last one of my share... Gosh, they only lasted 3 days XD But they are (were) so delicious~~~ so fluffy! \(^-^\ ) *fluff fluff* ( /^-^)/
Nyaaaa~~~~ *purr* (>ω<) *lol* I watched too much Chi's Sweet Home xD this anime is recommended for all cat lovers ;D

I passed!

2008-06-05T16:13:45Z

I passed my Japanese exam!! ^o^
Ain't that great xD
Ok... I barely made the kanji test... it was tough for me 'cause I kinda started too late with the studying...

Speaking of which, I realised I'm not that great at learning languages. My English is pretty good - fine. But I'm only this good because I started to read English texts on the internet very soon. Whereas my French totally sucks. It was only 3 years at school but I really messed up my third year. Ok, I didn't like the language so much to begin with but I could have done better. My guess is: if I don't use the languages actively, they'll start to rot or will never really "develop" properly.
So, let's hope I can put my Japanese knowledge to use here and there....

head bangs

2008-05-29T16:34:42Z

Yaaah... greetings folks!

I'm sitting in my Thursday course again. Thank God it's really cool in this room unlike outside where it's so fucking hot and sticky with the dry wind whipping you in the face (esp. on the bike...).

Tomorrow I'm going to take my first exam in Japanese this semester. Baah... I really have the feeling that it won't be any good although I'm really studying hard... *sigh* I just hope it won't be too difficult.

Enough of that..............

Guess what? I watched the Eurovision Song Contest last weekend and I was totally impressed by the Turkish contribution. It was "Deli" by Mor ve Ötesi. "Deli" is a great rock song, really cool =) So I searched on youtube for other songs. I'm kinda a fan of their music now ^^ They remind me a little bit of other Japanese rock bands. The normal Japanese rock bands, not the VK metal/eroguro/whatnot bands <_<'
All in all, the ESC was really bad.... not worth wasting one's time for... (but I did... *lol*)
Well, check out "Deli" if you have time ^.~

Time is limited...

2008-05-08T16:18:44Z

*sigh*
Here I am again, writing useless crap...

Atm, I really want to do so many things at once, like watching anime (lotsa series...), reading manga, editing manga, making a website, learning kanji, practising writing in Japanese... and there a few more things I want to do. But you see, time can't be extended. It's a fixed unit. And there's also sleep... being sleep-deprived is no good 'cause you won't be able to do anything at all then.
Now, I could choose from all those "wants" but I'm really bad at deciding, so I end up doing totally different things. *sigh* A real dilemma.

Tomorrow I'm going back to my parents' place. Fortunately (or unfortunately?), they won't be home over the weekend. That'll leave us (my sister, my brother and me) alone and I can clean up my computer at home. I bought an external harddrive to transfer all my stuff to it. (I've mentioned that my dad moved my computer downstairs...)

Have you noticed? It's getting warmer, at least here in Europe. And I don't like that... kirai yo~~ (-o-)' I need a few new tops/t-shirts. My older ones are too short and they totally look stupid on me >__< Aaah... ~ natsu ga kirai yoooooo~~~~~~

P.S.: I find Shun still sooooo hot *points at avatar*

My blog

2008-04-24T16:35:13Z

Hey ppl!

As you see, I changed my blog title. Don't ask me why i named it "~jellyfish~ Inc." Really, I dunno xD It sounds kinda cool, hehe. And: the subtitle is "Another useless blog...". It is, isn't it? I mean, seriously, who reads my blog... There are millions of other blogs on the internet. Who reads all those?? It's pretty much a ton of crap, don't you think?

Ok, actually, I don't know what I should be writing right now. I'm sitting in my seminar again and my lecturer is only explaining some stuff I already know... so I'm fairly bored =o='

Aaah... I'm hungry.. really hungry. I've been in university since 2 p.m., and this seminar is until 8 p.m. *cries* Hungry~~~ Huu~~ngry~~ T___T I should've brought some food along... =___=' Next time...

I feel a little guilty because I should edit something for a friend. Actually, it's only 1 chapter and it's only the typesetting... lazy lazy lazy.... *sighs* Maybe this weekend. That'll be a big surprise for him then because he told me to do it during my summer break xD

Ok, I dunno what to write anymore... oh! My sister made her own blog... *lol* another useless blog XD Well, you might as well check out hers, too: http://dangerbananas.blogspot.com

Damn!

2008-04-19T08:20:30Z

Hey ppl...

The worst possible case scenario has happened:
My dad moved my whole computer downstairs... yes, downstairs where everyone's able to use it. Damn it! He did that thinking I'm not living here "regularly" anymore, without my consent! And all for satisfying his durst of downloading and watching/listening to Vietnamese films, dramas, music and whatnot... Goddammit... Guess what I have to do next time? I have to move all of my manga (and the worst thing is, it's mostly yaoi... >_<) to my laptop. That's over 50GB and I DO NOT have that much on my laptop anymore... I guess I have to leave some things on this computer for now, i.e. things that aren't... errr... too harmful... I already deleted some stuff. But what am I gonna do about my anime on the computer??? It's also at least 50GB... I could burn them... yeah... but my CD-drive is damaged. That means I have to get all the stuff on my brothers computer and burn it... hm. Or I could try putting everything on an external harddrive and burn all the stuff on my laptop.
ARRRRRRRRRGHHHHH!!!!
So not fair... Perhaps I better just buy an external harddrive for myself and put all my stuff on that ;___;

Fuck! Shit! Damn...

Downloading music...

2008-04-18T14:37:07Z

Hm, I was wondering about this for a while now. The music industry's all about illegal music downloading harming the sales/market/etc. After pondering about it, I don't really think that's the only truth why people buy less CDs now.
!
Right, did you read that? CD!
Have you ever given one thought about the format CD? In an age of flexibility and especially mobility, most people own an iPod or other mp3-Players. Now, let's see... mp3 and CD? That's not compatible at all. CDs are simply too bulky. And portable CD-players? Don't make me laugh... People want their portable devices to be small but still effective with as many functions as possible. The format CD is outdated, old-fashioned, and definitely not attractive anymore. (And if people actually want something old-fashioned/retro-style, they'll buy vinyl...) That's one of the main reasons why I don't buy (m)any CD albums anymore.

Therefore, my suggestion is inventing a smaller format; still a disc like a CD but able to be put into a small portable music device that can play both manually put-in mp3s but also that mini-disc. Wouldn't that be a perfect match? I mean, music artists still get to sell their "CDs" (with copy protection if necessary) and people can happily make their own compilations with mp3s 'cause I don't think downloading music will ever cease as long as the internet exists.

WTF?!

2008-04-17T16:36:53Z

Hey, I'm sitting in my seminar right now. One of my classmates just told me that we're going to write 5, yes f-i-v-e, exams in book sciences... I'm doomed... or rather dead because I still have at least 3 exams in Japanese to write. That's altogether 8 exams in 3 months. HELLO???? I'm a human being with limited time and especially limited brain capacity....!!! Fucking BA! Well, I still have it better than others considering how many exams they have to pass.... like 11 exams O___O' Holy shit! I'm telling you, this ain't funny anymore.
I really hope they'll revise the whole system and actually test them themselves first! That's always what you get when some white collars at their computers try to renew old systems. They DON'T HAVE A FUCKING CLUE WHAT THEY'RE DOING, and then it's us who have to play guinea pigs... haha, lol...

I'm sick.

2008-04-12T16:52:58Z

Hey, guess what? My sister got her wallet back o.o Apparently, she lost her wallet in the restaurant where we ate and one of the employees must've picked it up. To top it all, she contacted my sister via e-mail and sent the wallet back ^___^ That's what I call lucky.

That was the good news, the bad news is: I'm sick... probably with otitis media >__< I already felt kinda sick when I came back from Copenhagen and now it's become worse, so I guess, it's a "present" from there... haha... *coughs*

Copenhagen is...?

2008-04-06T15:39:17Z

Hey ppl!

I'm currently here in Copenhagen/Denmark. I came here with my sister by air plane. Our lodging is called Sleep in Heaven. Actually, I'm not so sure about sleeping in heaven... Our room is for 9 persons, three 3-storeyed bunk beds, so it's totally cramped there. The smells really awful in there 'cause you can't really air out the room. There are only two small windows that can be opened. The blankets and the pillows also have a very peculiar smell. Just imagine them as not having been washed for several years. You get the gist of it? The bathroom is... ok. Two toilets and four shower cabins, of which only one has warm/hot water. There's another bathroom at the front where the reception is, too. That one looks mighty fine. The lounge is fine as well. There are several couches and small tables with chairs, a pool table, and a few board games.
Unfortunately, the hostel is quite far from the city centre but it's reachable within 15-20 min by foot. Of course, there are also busses but it's kinda expensive imo, 30 kr for a single trip (1 person) that's about 4,28 euro. =/

We've been staying here since Thursday. Tomorrow we're flying back again. We walked around the city at night, went drinking (only hot chocolate, we're not into alcohol =P), went to a museum, we got pretty close to the ocean, went to a jazz concert, visited some churches, and a cemetery; we also ate hot dogs and smørebrød, a cake, and we bought sweets =D

This whole trip was ok. Nothing special really. The worst thing was only that my sister's wallet got stolen... you know that something like this totally sucks, so I'll stop here. Remembering it makes me really furious... I hope that person's hands get cut off... =___=*

Anyway, I'm looking forward to returning home. Actually, I can't wait at all xD I'm really not a person for trips and the sorts.

That looks...

2008-03-30T09:15:33Z

Yesterday I was reading Eyeshield 21 ch201-274 and

That's a really suggestive position they're in O_O
Or is it just me and my yaoi-infested imagination? ~.~'
But I admit, I like the Shin x Sena pairing xD

If I ever finish all the scanlation stuff for GooC, I'll most probably head over to Fucking-Manga and ask for a position as typesetter for ES21 xD Well, I do hope that they'll still be scanlating it then ;___;
Even if you're not into American football, it's so much fun reading it. And the characters are really <3~

Stupid sis...

2008-03-24T22:09:51Z

...forced me to write sth in my journal (-_-')
Good grief, I have better things to do, f.ex. my report... F*ck it! Totally boring topic and the deadline's due... I still have about a week left. Thank goodness, I started it at least (=o=)

I've been so busy with studying and stuff since I started university and I feel kinda bad about neglecting my contacts on the i-net =/ especially the ppl on IRC... I miss them ='<
*sigh*
I'll see if I can make some time to visit them again when I'm done with my friggin' report.

In the past few weeks I dug up some manga again, like Haru wo Daiteita, Under Grand Hotel, Invoke (hell, the story's so not finished yet...), Sex Pistols (is there more than 5 volumes? (o_O)), Abiru Junjou, Black Sun etc. Re-reading Haru was kinda good, story and sex scenes balance each other really well (^^) I was also surprised that Nitta-sensei actually did reversi there (o.O) You don't see that often in yaoi. Speaking of which, I also re-read Neji no kaiten by Sadahiro Mika. With reversi, too (o.o) But honestly, that was a little bit too much sex...
Err... let's stop with the yaoi stuff.
I reckoned that Inuyasha, the manga, is going to end very soon. At least, I hope it'll end soon. I mean, it's already at volume 55... and it's getting boring after some time. And I pray for a good ending... don't wanna be disappointed for sticking with it for so long o(~_~o)

Since I'm on a break I also watched a few doramas. Hehe, Yamada Tarou Monogatari, Hana Yori Dango 1+2 and Yasha (re-watch!). Binbou Danshi is next on my list. It's with my favourite actor Oguri Shun~! \(^o^)/ *lol* I'm such a fangirl... (>_<') But atm, he looks like sh*t (-_-') He shouldn't have straightened his hair and cut it... he looked so much better with the longer, curly hair (ToT)

before:

after:

You see what I'm talking about? (-.-')

That's all for now. It's been a while since I posted sth here. Maybe my sis will urge me again for the next post ;P

Oh, btw, before I forget it. Close the last door OVA (only ep1 out so far): recommended for yaoi anime watchers who like romance, lots of comedy, and a great seiyuu cast to boot =D I'm so looking forward to the next episode XD~ (Manga is good, too, a must-read! Also the spin-off manga "Into your heart through the door". You gotta love Yamada Yugi for her works <3)

Another Miyamoto Kano...

2007-08-26T12:06:50Z

I'm reading another Miyamoto Kano manga right now and somehow I get the feeling that the stories keep repeating themselves. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad but it gets boring after some time. Though I have to say that this time the seme looks really good. I like his hair style ^^

A few days ago, I made two wallpapers for my new monitor. I can't use my 1024x768 wallies anymore =(
They are 1440x900 px and feature xxxHoLic and Tainaka Sachi, a singer (if you watch Seirei no Moribito, you'll know her from the ED song).

Tainka Sachi

xxxHoLic

Finals are over

2007-06-12T15:17:07Z

It's been a while since I last posted in my LJ. I was busy with my exams. Anyway, I just had my last one, an oral exam, and I totally screwed it up... I'm seriously close to crying. This is so devastating (although I don't know my results yet). I wish someone would beat me up because I'm really mad at myself... *sniff*

Well, well...

2006-10-18T20:55:43Z

It's been a while... I'm so wasted... I just got back from my night drive 30 minutes ago. Woah... I definitely won't drive at night a lot when I have my licence x_x' Oh yeah, my (new) instructor said my driving exam will probably be on 31st Oct... so soon ;___; Well, let's hope that I won't make any mistakes <.< >.>

Innocent Bird

2006-09-09T20:37:05Z

Hmm... I re-read Innocent Bird yesterday and...

...I was quite surprised, when I read it for the first time, that you get to see Jesus and Judas o.O Usually, those guys are totally unimportant if the manga is about God and angels (i.e. Angel Sanctuary). I wonder if such manga are blasphemous o_ô IB is probably only half-blasphemous because in the end, God does exist unlike in other manga XD
Anyway, IB contains an interesting interpretation of the Bible. Too bad the manga's so short =( Kisaragi Hirotaka could've gone into more details like how Shirasagi could escape Beelzebub's imprisonment and his encounter with Jesus in the desert, or what happened in the war between the angels and devils(?) mentioned in the first volume. But what's itching me the most is Sariel's and Beelzebub's relationship in the past *g*
Btw, here's something funny that I found on the i-net and that suits the topic: God vs. Satan

In any case, I recommend this manga, especially if you're sick of PWP yaoi manga <.<' and the art is very beautiful + lots of bishis *__*

New avatar

2006-07-02T16:17:32Z

Hehe, I've played around with a black eye shadow yesterday and took some photos. One photo looks kinda nice, so I made a new avatar of it ^^

Well, I'm off to do some homework~

Here's a colouring from the manga Koisuru Bo-kun (The tyrant who fall in love) by Takanaga Hinako. The pic is featuring Tetsuhiro Morinaga aka the seme XD I hope you like it ^^

I'm also going to colour Souichi Tatsumi soon... ô_ô

No reviews anymore =P

2006-03-25T19:17:05Z

I give up. It's just too time-consuming to write reviews and I'm way too busy with other things >.> Well, this will be used for whatever comes to my mind =P
