Is it visible?? *points up _again_*
If so, it means I found what I've been looking for!

Well, no time for blogging for I have another website to work on and, whoo, a new layout. I'm just hoping that it's not temporary...

Oooh, my statistics wooork (they didn't yesterday) ^_____^

I watched episode 1 and 2 of Gravitation today. The first one worked somehow properly (If anyone doesn't know it yet, my Compy-chan is a 7 year old wreck, and I have BIG problems with watching anime on it. It's memory is so low that it would make anybody laugh histerically when I'd told him about it (<-thus I'm keeping it a secret ;) and I have no idea what kind of processor do I have in it).

Anyway, the second episode, hm, to put it delicately, didn't work (when anime is good quality and especially in avi and an episode has more than 100mb. Oh, in this case there is one exception. Saiyuuki. It's a miracle how good it works) and I really wanted to watch it, so I chose to say goodbye to the sound and instead watching it on mediaplayer, I did it on IrfanView. Saa, so it was mute but watchable. Bleeeah. It is kind of strange when you watch a mute anime, so I decided to listen to some music - what resulted in watching the band sing, and in the backgruond there was completly_different music ^_^;
Soil - braking me down, to be exact, because I rally like them. Hmm, If anyone heard their 'halo' before he might get what I'm talking about(I still have doubts if I could count Soil as metal). It was hillarious! XDDDD

Now I want to watch more but unfortunately I have to go food-shopping which is one of the most boring things to do, and I'm too lazy to get up. Ugh, but duty calls, ne...

I had a trauma yesterday evening. Really my heart jumped and I was fear-stricken.
I wanted to make changes in my blog and add statistics (I discovered that a thing like this exists only yesterday; I'm slow, I now :P).
OK, I signed up, got the html part sent me in my email, copied it into my html. Only it took so long to make changes (this does not usually happen) and I stopped it in the middle of the process (note to myself: never do it again?). When I wanted to copy it again I found I had only half of my html. HALF! Well, ok, you can say, I could have used the earlier version, for of course I have it saved. Wrong! I'm such a geek, that I had no back-up. But I was mostly scared that all my precious (yeahright) entries were lost...
Saa... Aside from the fact that they just weren't visible and I fixed it, nothing happened. But I wasn't scared in... whooo, a long time. I can't even remember - I laughed cruelly at my class mates who were scared of graduation and other exams. See, my RL is so boring that I write so much about one little meaningless event. I'm just so happy and (will be) overcareful about my blog *hugs blog*

Hmm, so now I have statistics, beware - muahahahahaha!

Yeah, umm, and I end it all with a *very* nice test pic of Sanzou-sama (since his not visible on my layout thanks to my geekness)

And I said yesterday, that I read one of the worst fanfics. I was so wrong. That fic was *good* when compared to the one I read today. I'm sure now that this one is THE WORST I've ever read. Aside from the mary sue illness, my words cannot express the language and grammar used there. I'll quote few fragments because they're hillarious.

"Son Goku, a sort of tall guy, who really likes eating and also half monkey."
"Sha Gojyo, who is a hot - tempered guy, with water red monster like hair yet he also likes filters beautiful girls." <- this one has cracked me the most XDDDDD filters girls, saa...
"Oi Sanzo, are you sure you'll live the young girl?"
And the most perfect example of fangirl Japanese : "Arigato rusaimasta!"

No, I didn't make it up. I quoted directly. This fic fits perfectly what I said yesterday about authors. I survived only the first chapter.
I need a good Saiyuuki fic!! Sf please update ;_;

Yay, there was an update in Google and finally when searching for 'astarise' my bloggie shows up ^_____^
And that there is a book in which a character has a second name 'astarise' is totally a coincidence. I was first!!!

Afterthought:
Maybe there is something wrong with *me*. Maybe I should perceive mary sue fics in another way. I mean, look how many people, judging from ther reviews, actually enjoy that kind of fics just like the way they may enjoy reading Harlequins (pun fully intended^^). The definition of a 'good fic' is individual after all. And, wow, like, it may be fun to read, like, a het romance with an ordinary teenage girl who gets,like, transported into another world and fells in love with, lets say, Sanzou. Mutually. Wow, like, wow, it sounds so interesting.
(Of course screw the fact that Saiyuuki is one of the most slashiest anime in the world. This entry is totally ironic, if anyone wondered, and please don't take it seriously ;)

Astarise enlightened the world @ 06:09 p.m.

Saturday, August 24, 2002

OK, I have a question for myself. What kind of sophisticated masochism drives me to read sucky mary sue fics ?!?!
I'm sick and disgusted when I read them and stay that way all the day thus have a bad humor. Geez!!!
I HATE stupidity in fanfiction. And why, oh why do I spot a tendency in Saiyuuki fics (on ff.net) to go mary sue-ish? To call it 'wrong' or 'sick' would be mild. Very mild. Fanfic writers are like a basis to a fandom and it just makes me sad looking at what state the Saiyuuki one is (Of course I'm not talking about ALL. Still there are writers I like and respect). Are the only normal people on the net the ones from the blogland (not all again but really, MOST)???
And SaiyuukiML I find mainly posessed by people who ask the most supid questions and thus start pointless discussions.

But that's not what I wanted to rant about. The most important thing that shocked me beyond my words were...
THE REVIEWS!

I'm not a review person and don't review as a rule (I feel kinda stupid when I do). But today I checked the reviews for the latest mary sue fics just to see how negative feedback the authors got (That was cruel of me, I know. But I show no mercy when it comes to mary sue x my favourite bishies. OK, let it be mary sue in general). Ack! I found just the opposite!!!

People writing (to quote) 'ths is the ONLY saiyuki fanfic i like' and that ama is no, by no means a mary sue and she rules.;_; what's with this world... Don't they note the difference between original character and a mary sue? And the pairing game. Enough said. About that infamous fic I have only one thing to say: The authoress nickname says it all. And I will somehow fight the aforementioned sophisticated masochism and will not read further chapters.

And the review phenomenon I met a long time ago with the first ff.net Saiyuuki mary sue fic. It's just nice that it isn't finished ^_^ let's hope it won't be. (not the nicest thing to say, ne)
I feel very dissapointed. What kind of people write reviews in which they play the pairing game and drool over the 'coolness' (BTW, she's not cool. She's pathetic) of ama? Immature 13 year olds? (sidenote: I have nothing against immature 13 year olds. That is until they write fan fiction and I read it)
So that is what Saiyuuki fandom has become? Thanks to commercialization on the tv series? I really hate to think what would become if they aired Saiyuuki on my local tv. I would quit the fandom immediately. I HATE it when a serie is commercially popular (That's why I left dbz. OK, so it was also because it was stupid) I'm glad that the only manga/anime magazine in our country never mantiond of any of Minekura-sensei's works. OK, that was a pointless digression ^^;;

Anyway, today I read one of the most stupid fics ever. One shot Goku x mary sue. ;_; Kanzeon Bosatsu help us all.
That is why I ranted so much about it. Generally I could talk about fics over and over and especially the fics on ff.net, but it would take me too much to write. I just hope that leaving out the grammar mistakes someone would get the idea of my fic frustration ^_^

Today I have wasted 3 whole damn hours searching the for a decent free host. Fruitless. I have now accounst on, like, 10 hosts but they either don't work properly, or simply do not support hotlinking (and I *need* this to have my blog layout)
It's all because Escalix.com has somehow died yesterday (please tell me it's just temporary, please, please...).
After comparing it to the sites I visited today - that was THE BEST one. 50mb and no ads. And it had a normal file manager (not like sth called 'OmniUpdate' with which I got so confused I quit. Besides, it probably didn't allow permanent linking)

I should be depressed, really. Instead I'm just irritated. Beeaah. I don't want to pay for a dotcom domain because I don't neeeeed one (yet). And I certainly have better things to spend my money on. So, I'm angry, tired and totally fed up with free webhosting. Pitas sure is great but it should provide some space to store layout files.
OK, I quit babbling, because it's boring for me to write about it.

My new layout is almost completed though, and looking at my Saiyuki pictures gives me more ideas about another ones. In fact, now I'm so biased that when looking at a picture I have an imaginary blog layout in my mind o.O;;;

Anyway.

One more thing about Angel Sanctuary that had confused me (again).
Why did Germans say 'shit' whereas they should 'scheisse' (<- or whatever the spelling is)?
End of my life problems.

Ff.net is down, and just when I felt like reading fics. It reminds me of that looong, almost month like break a year ago when I was dying to read more Mihatenu Yume (only 15 chapters then). BTW, I was dying till december, when there *finally* was an update. I was *so* happy. And I was out of black ink in my printer back then, so I printed it in blue ^_^. Ah, sweet memories.

As usual I'm happy about something(I'm on coffee high).
My new little shiny counter ^______^. I love that thing!(Sankyuu DarkCounter.com!) It has shown me that some people actually visit my bloggie and may even(gasp) read it o.O
It's so nice when you check the numbers and they are higher ^_^
So when I'm on that topic, thanks whoever reads it! By visiting my blog (no, that's not a blog-ad ;) you make one little soul somewhere in the world (me) happy ^________^

And everybody is ranting about fangirl Japanese, so I suppose I'll add my POV... But not right now; I'm too lazy ;P

I found Executive Comittee scanlations(!!!)
Good thing that it's only 6 pages ^_^;;; (<--NOT ironic this time). First, the English used there made *me* wince. Second - I really dislike the idea of scanlations of Minekura-sensei's works. I find it simply not fair >.<
I found *Saiyuki* scanlations somewhere a long time ago. 2 chapters. And one Chinese Saiyuki site (forgot the url) with *6* volumes scanned. In Chinese of course, and I must add that was THE most slow-working site I've ever visited. So I have none of those scans (it had a good gallery though).Blah, blah.
And I said I was too lazy to type about fangirl Japanese?! What about that *up*?
Meh. Anyway what I honestly *hate* about FJ is when somebody misuses Japanese. Like bad spelling, or a word is used not in the place it should be. That makes me go 'roaaaarrrr' and scare the birds outside [what birds? you mean swallows? That are the only birds (no, wait, there are gulls and falcons and I've once even seen an owl o.O;;) I see because I live on 16th floor ^^;;].
That is what I wanted to say! Dear Gods if *I* was to write a fanfic (this may happen someday. Beware) with a Japanese word I would check it's meaning and spelling ten times in order not to make a fool of myself and be one of those who are *guilty* of starting this topic!
There! My opinion was added to the fandom -_-;;
Anyway I'm still happy and smiley-like ^_____^

Monday, August 19, 2002

A long entry coming up, so I'm going to divide it into three topics:

1 - Censored(!) Angel Sanctuary aired Saturday on VOX(German tv)

Ack! wtf?! Dubbed!! Ack, ack, ack!!!
First of all, we all know how As OAVs reffer to the manga, and that it sucks and has a very flashy-colored blood.
Anyway I have bad luck when it comes to it. When I watched it about a year ago there was something wrong, and the pictures weren't moving fluently and the sound exceeded the animation. The subs were just great(<-ironic)! Really, I was ROFL. they had 'Sentsura Mudon'(Setsuna Mudou), 'Sana'(Sara), 'Arikusa'(Alexiel) and many more, and the English was... uh...
Certainly somebody who did the subs spoke English worse(!) than me. I can't remember the quotes now, but they were utterly anti-grammatical and hillarious.
Back to the German version. (I guess I could understand more if it was in Japanese, for never in my life I had a German lesson, so I could understand very little) The dub was ugly!!! They changed Koyasu Takehito's voice (one of the few reasons for me to watch it - Kii~ra) to some creepy guy's who couldn't even act.
Next,(it shocked me the most) thing is that GERMANS ARE HOMOPHOBIC!!!
Argh! You know what?! They had *censored* it! That scene where Rociel kissed Katan!! I couldn't believe it - one little kiss, and they deleted the whole scene! And this was one of the best parts - and they simply deleted it! Stupid German homophobic males!!!
I would (well not really in *this* case) understand if they censored it on some normal tv, but hell, this is *VOX*. It's *known* for hentais and stuff! And they aired it at 10p.m.! I'm still mad.
I don't know why I watched it (Kira?). It's *the OAV* with an utterly ugly dub, and censored.
I'm off to read the manga *pouts*.

2 - 'Through the Northland Snows'- FY fic about Genbu no Miko

OK, I know it's FY and I left the fandom a long time ago. I don't know what made me check for updates of that fic but I'm thanking it with all my heart. It's awesome!!
I started reading this fic when I was still in highschool (I know how it sounds, but I graduated in june). I printed out 5 chapters and skipped history class (as well as the rest :P) just to read it^^
Actuall it's the second fic a find *above* those I normally like (The very first is Lodoss' "Mihatenu Yume" by Firen-sama. About it I'm going to do a looong rant as soon as chapter 21 comes up because I loo~ove it^______^)
As I said before this is a story about Genbu no Miko (Takiko) and her Seishi [OK, I'm fed up with all this 'Miko' and 'Seishi'(<- now when I hear 'Seishi' I'm inclined to think that it's short from 'Seishirou'^o^) stuff, but I make this fic an exception]
The story is AU-ish and all the characters were created by the authoress from the start. I mean, how much do we know about Hikitsu(rules) and Tomite???
As much as I find Takiko Mary Sue-ish, she's OK; she's quiet and sometimes seemes lie she's not the main character. All the Seishi are great! Hikitsu is just the way I like bishounen (the quiet-composed-cold-on-the-outside-angsty-and-utterly-cool type). Tomite reminds me of Tamahome (Miaka-deprived verion) and Namame is sweet. I don't like Inami though, but she is a greatly character. And of course Tomite's horse - rocks ^____^
I read chapters 8-12 yesterday. There are really few fics that make me talk to them when reading (I have that kind of habit that I talk when I'm alone, or just talk to my Compy-chan). You know, 'Nooo!!!' for example.
Mihatenu Yume was the *only* fic I cried (a lot) while reading it.
I'm just a little worried, because the original story of Genbu was *tragic* and I certainly don't want Hikitsu & Tomite (<- my all-time two favourite FY characters) to die that way ;_;
Hell, why do I write so much about it?! Go people read it, go!!

3 - Saiyuki OAVs and HTML-whining

I found a great Korean Saiyuki gallery .
It has the whole Backgammon3 scanned ;_;. It means that I've just spoiled the surprise when I buy one (cause I have all the pictures). It won't stop me from buying all Backgammons (are on my must_have wish list).
I found also Saiyuki OAV screencaps and ralised how little do I know about them [well, Requiem too, I haven't seen and don't know much about it...yet (but I will *insert evil fangirlish laugh*) and that didn't stop me from using a Requiem-Sanzou as my site layout^^]
The chara-design is strange(but nice) - all the characters look like they've been constantly lit up by the sunset - even at night. It seemes *very* interesting (because it's Saiyuki, duh) and I just could help but steal this and this and this picture of Sanzou and Gojyou and put it on my site (just to store- I couldn't link them directly, because it's a pop-up window- some sort of manager.)
I'm a big fan of 53- yay!
So, as a conclusion I've *got* to have the Saiyuki OAVs. I want them! I want, I want, I want, I want!!!
HTML-whining? OK. I have *big* problems with aligning images (of course excluding the 'left right top and so'). The only thing I am fully satisfied with is my enter site^_^
The dragon is drawn by mysee~~~lf.

OK, so that was long. My fingers kind of hurt ;_;. Anyway.
Sf, thanks for the linkie ^___^. I noticed it yesterday, because I wasn't blog-jumping for a while.
Blah, I'm sleepy^^;;;

I still haven't found (due to my lazinss of course;P)a 'learn html'-ish site. I'm working by copying other people's html^^;;;
But the good thing is that I finally get the idea what this is all about :P
I'm working with my all beloved photoshop-san. Thank you, whoever created it ^_^ !!!
And after I'm done with the site, I'll start working on a new layout. I'm NOT satisfied with this one. Plus the colors I find a little pinkish - and that's certainly NOT my style.
OK, now go back to the evils of html.

See?! See?! *poinst up* It's there!!! I'm a genius!!
After visiting tons of free hosts i found one that uhm, works. Unfortunately it's not supposed to be a place to store files. I have to fill it with some useless info, and hope that they won't delete my precious sitey ^_-

I visited SelectSmart today (hadn't seen it for a loong time) hoping that somebody would finally make a Lodoss one (guess *I* have to do it someday), of course foud none BUT I found a 'BAD BOY BISHOUNEN' one. Bad Bishie = Ashram-sama. Oooh, so I answered that one. Note - always when I make an anime test (or non-anime) I am *so* biased that I answer it 'the way that Ashram-sama would' or at least close. I just can't help it!
BTW, that is why this test has shown me that Sanzou should sleep with me. See, Sanzou in some sort of way resembles Ashram-sama. Saa...
Doing that BBB test my heart jumped a little, due to the questions that I found Ashram-sama hinted. Like 'wouldn't it be romantic to die in his arms?' kyaaa~~~!! The best part was that there really WAS Ashram-sama, and in my case he was number one ^____________^
Anyway, my results were:

#1 Ashram (Record of Lodoss War)
#2 Sephiroth (Final Fantasy 7)
#3 Zagato (Magic Knight Rayearth)
#4 Touga (Shojo Kakumei Utena)
#5 Aoshi (Rurouni Kenshin)
#6 Seifer (Final Fantasy 8)
#7 Kurei (Flame of Recca)
#8 Nakago (Fushigi Yuugi)
#9 Ghaleon (Lunar: Silver Star Story/Eternal Blue)
#10 Vicious (Cowboy Bebop)
#11 Akio (Shojo Kakumei Utena)
#12 Taishikuten (RG Veda)

Yay me! I'm babbling so much about it because there is NO Lodoss selector/test. I searched and searched but found none.
I also did a Hellsing one today:


Which Hellsing character are you?

Integral rules! She is the first *female* character I find cool. Saa...

Heinnh, I know that I suck when it comes to html, but why, oh why, my 'site' that I made here does not work like I want it to? I even managed somehow (ok, so that was easy ;P) to upload my infamous pic, but when I wanted to link it from pitas (I *know* that I wrote that part good, because I checked the 'source' stuff on other people's blogs) It didn't woooork!!!
Saaa... I don't ask much... it's only 45kb. Blah, nevermind.
I've got a looot of free time to find out what to do with it. 'A lot' means that I'm in the middle of my summer vacation XDD. I'm going to college in *october* nyah, nyah, nyah.
So now I'm bored, because all my friends are gone (they'll come back eventually) and I sit at home. I was planning to take a job in august, but I'm too lazy to even be interested in one ;P
And unemployment in my country is very high, so I doubt that I could even find a job. I was considering playing a lottery - I certainly wouldn't mind some money.
The good part is that I have time to use my Compy-chan. The bad - I have to share it with my sister -_-.
There was some sort of problem in my net-connection today (made me kind of nervous), but it's alright now.
I need a *new* Compy-chan.

Sf mentioned me!!! Yay!! Now I'm famous *jumps up and down*. Ekhm...
I'm happy, because I'm really new to all this blogland. I'm into manga/anime for about a year and a half (Before this there was dragonball. Don't ask. I know. But it's not so bad, compared to my love for michael jackson at the age of 11 -_-;;;;)and I've always been just a lurker and still the idea of having my own website scares me (though I really want one :P). BUT, during that time I managed to know and get over some series I find basic for every fan - like Evangelion, FY, Kenshin (I even wrote a fic-parody fic - which is SUPPOSED to be stupid - and is), Slayers, Escaflowne and stuff like that. I still have to watch Kenshin's new OAV - Seisouhen ^^;. And I don't know GW :P - one tv station is going to air it next week though. Saaa...I'm NOT interested in any of that aforementioned series anymore. I even found my really old email account (I haven't used it for a long time) and it was filled with emails from Hotohori and Tasuki MLs ^__^. I really hate when a title I like is VERY popular, and everybody is talking about it. I love Saiyuki because in my country animepeople never heard of it before. BTW my country-fandom sucks, people are only into the series I mentioned before. Well, there is Ranma too. I couldn't bring myself to finish the first season. It was stpid AND DUBBED! Dubbing is so evil!! If there is some anti-dub society or clique I'll join it with pleasure. I'm so prejudiced, because I watched Lodoss - dubbed. I love Lodoss, if anybody doesn't know yet :D. The subbed version of course *Ashram-sama*.
As much as I find English dub evil, there are worse things in this world. Think French dub (CCSakura excluded, I watched that one in French version and then in Japanese. REALLY, Yukito/Yue's voice is *so* much better in French. Rest is good also) and *eek* Italian.

Ooh, that was long -_-. I'm going to search the net for a free website *yeahright* now.

Hmm, I made little changes in my blog. Linked Sf's blog, because I finally found it ^^.

This weekend was horrible for me, because I had to stay with my grandmother; my grandfather left to visit some relatives (probably my relatives as well - ah, who cares) and I was supposed to look after the place. Blah. At least I'm free now. Oh, BTW I wanted to tell the world that recently I'm in love with two songs: Flaw - only the strong survive, and Sinch - Bitmap ^o^.

After re-reading my entries I'm not quite fond of them. I do not have 'the writing talent' or sth like that, plus it's kind of hard to write in English, and whoever reads it may now grit his teath in terror looking at my grammar mistakes ^^;;; I subscribed myself to some MLs and finally converted the SaiyukiML settings. I was receiving 'daily didgest' or sth like that, that was hard to read and thus I neglected it a little ^^;;;.

Also, I *am* going to order Bleach manga. The scanlations I read were in my case the perfect example of what they are for. But I won't buy Trigun after scanlations.I don't like the artwork and this version of the plot. And besides,what's the purpose of *reading* Legato's lines? Oh, that reminded me to watch episode 12 again ^o^.

I' currently reading Zombie Powder by Kubo Taito who also did Bleach. I like the way he draws ^^. The story maybe is not *so* fascinating, but it's fun. It resembles Trigun very much IMHO, and there's a guy who strongly reminds me of Dilandau. Also I almost finished the list of anime I'm going to order. Can't wait till I get them ^_^. And in RL nothing interesting except it's so hot outside that I'm dying. Autumn where are you???

Today I decided to read Bleach while checking things on Toriyama's world
. Liked it ^_^. Unfortunately there are only 3 chapters available. I want more!!! Then I started to think about *coughcough* the role of Shinigami's in anime. That is where have those Shinigamis appeared. There is Boogiepop Phanom (Must re-watch this one, BTW), YnM, GW, now Bleach, err, that would be all. There are probably tons of them, but 1) I don't recall them now 2) I don't know more -_-;; So that's the end of my oh-how-intelligent-and-interesting attempt to write about them. The Net is of course GW-centerd, so I see no point in furher searching on google to find out sth more. Blah, I have to finish writing a lo~ng email to my imouto-chan. Oh, how lazy I am!

I still don't know how to upload that piccie. I'm a geek, I know ^^;;; Ah, screw it. I'll find out how to edit my layout someday ;P. Good thing, that this works anyway. So this is my third entry on my very first blog. I was thinking about having one, but I decided to finally make one this week. The funny thing was that I've never seen HTML before. I found a site about it, it didn't help me at all except for the color palette. So I decided to experiment and the results can be seen now ^^. Anyway, in case somebody wondered, my layout pic (when I do sth about it) shows Sanzou with heathers in the background (hence the title of this blog ^^;;;). The original pic was one of my favorite ones and I modified it a little (deleted Sanzou's jewellery -_-;. I don't like men with jewellery.). When my imouto-chan returns from her trip, I'll force her to help me. She is better wiht computers than me. At least she doesn't think that the inside of computer is evil, like I do ^^;.
