Yamato is the evil incarnate, dude. He WINS.

I want Arai icons. Please make me some. I'll also make some tonight as well. (even though I've used up my 132 icon spaces already x_x)

Engrish rules. It does.

UVERworld - D-tecnoLife: I can't stop listening to this. Help.

And I only have the TV-size version of Tonight Tonight Tonight. *sigh*

Kazuki

moonrainty, did you know that if you google kato kazuki rough diamond, your LJ entry for it comes up as the 2nd search result? XD

I not-so-subtly added the Rough Diamond album to Sheep's ipod when I was adding anime songs for her. She was amused. Yesterday on the phone, she said that the songs are good! Teh win!

Today I've been sending out opening and endings songs of Bleach XD Sheep also wants them, I'll need to upload them tonight or something (when she wants something, get it to her asap or you'll regret it). Oh she also said that she got a Bleach figure (the "in-a-box you don't know what you're getting" type, like Petit Studio), and she got 11-scare (Gin). She was majorly pleased XD

This thing I'm doing for work is rather interesting. I'd do it at home in my own time if 1) there's no one online to talk about Fusion with 2) there's no PS2 3) there's no AU fantasy fic of doom eating my brain 4) there's no 10GB worth of files in my "to be sorted" folder...

I'm always full of excuses. *sparkle sparkle*

PS3's price has been announced. It's very expensive. Never mind, by the time I go buy it (probably one year after release), the price should come down.

During the holiday, I told Sheep and my dad that I threw away my copy of "The Da Vinci Code" after reading it as I felt it shouldn't even exist on charity shops' shelves. They were amused. ^^""""

Is it me, or is it them?

Today during lunch, my coworkers once again reminded me just how shallow, unimaginative they are, and how tiny their knowledge bank is.

It's not that when at the pub, over a pint of beer, that I expect people to throw some intelligent discussion across the table. But... and I'll be very general, very sterotypical here - is it that people who have not travelled much, who have not lived in big cities, or have not received top education, or is it just men? My own friends, people who I don't know through work, people I've met online and in university, none of them are like this. The people who I like to associate myself with tend to know bits of random knowledge and trivia and can hold a proper discussion. They are people who can accept that there is a possibility that humans can spontaneously combust - it happens to monks in monasteries, people in long term protest, and loads more, and they would not simply argue "I've seen on tv that people have proved it with a dead pig it's just them catching fire from the fireplace and yanno it's only old people alone at home near a fireplace that die like that" and laugh at the person who brought it up and make themselves, in my eyes, look incredibly STUPID.

These guys... does their knowledge only come from the telly (and only the free channels + skysports)? When was the last time they set foot in a bookshop or library, and when was the last time they looked up something because they didn't know what it was and felt vaguely interested? When was the last time they went somewhere without stepping into a pub? When was the last time they went on holiday, looked at a famous statue and thought more about it than taking some pretty pictures? Could they, just once, talk about the French or the Germans without saying something xenophobic? Does mocking people in foreign countries make them cool? Aren't they curious about the way the world works, how people in different parts of the world live? Is their mind so small that they can't accept that science has not yet explained everything and things that aren't explained aren't necessarily myths? How can they be satisfied with living in a tiny box of... I don't know, a tiny world like that?

Or is it just me? Because I have parents who have always encouraged me to be imaginative, think, look things up for myself and ask questions and be curious about things? Because, as far as I'm aware, that's the only way to live and to move forward.

Maybe I just shouldn't bother with people who don't know the difference between "waist" and "waste", and don't know where to put an apostrophe in a sentence.

(I asked my mum about this, and she summarised the problem in a single sentence: "this is what they mean by difference in class" - and I know she didn't mean class as in "middle class" or "upper class" but rather, what you make of, and want to make of, yourself. She's highly likely to be right I think.)

Help please~ what programme do you recommend for reading manga with? I used to use ComicViewer which is a Chinese programme that does awesome scrolling from right to left, top to bottom, but it doesn't support PMG files :(
