{{03:50 p.m. Monday, September 29, 2003}} Oh my god
Arithon: yaft, yaft! Although surprisingly well written, I will not disguise my WTF-ness. Well done, youse. May upload later for more twitchly-ness.
~Kam {{ silence }} {{01:43 p.m. Sunday, September 28, 2003}} Stop hyperventilating, Kam~ You're screwing up the page..... On other side of the blog, my hand is killing me... It either has something to do with trying to cut 3.2mm wire with blunt pliers, trying to bend said 3.2mm wire, or playing too much Soul Calibur 2. Probably a combination of all of those things. Actually I have no real problem with the Gamecube Controller, despite the D-pad being the size of my thumb. I don't use the pad anyway, since the analog stick works fine. I think it's the buttons... the GC controller just doesn't have a very fighter-game friendly button layout. Lets hope I don't have to press Y and X at the same time during a fight... Soul Calibur 2 is a great game tho. It's just not all that different from the original Soul Calibur, except for a few new people, polished graphics and a few new moves. Ivy kicks ass though, since they changed her style a bit. She plays quite differently from the original, with her Y+A whip stance. Link's fun to play as too, but It feels like he doesn't have as much depth as the other characters. Button-mashing to find news moves only seems to make me bring out his throwable items. Haven't really had much time to try out everyone though. It took me forever to work out Kilik's damn bow thrust, but I think I've gotten a hang of the new button layout. A pleasant surprise to see he's got some new moves as well. And Tasuki's voice-actor still does Maxi XD... I'm beginnig to think he was the only reason I read FY actually. Actually I was reading the Viz translation of volume 8 at Kinokuniya yesterday. Was FY always that sappy? Maybe I never noticed. Character development in FY is a bitch as well. Yuu Watase could have done so much with so many things in the storyline, especially in part 2. I mean, goddamn it man, your best friend just tried to screw your girlfriend! Who cares if it was under a spell and blah-blah... Get the hint you idiot. But nooo... Watase has to make everything okie-dokey afterwards. Don't you know that not everything is happy and joyful? Miaka should have dumped Taka's ass long ago and hooked up with someone less pathetic and annoying... or Tas should have at least killed him or something (so close, yet so far away...). Bah. Whatever happened to realism... Nuri and Tasuki are still redeemable features of it though. Did I just rant about FY? *shudders*.... Oh well.... Did I mention Soul Calibur 2 looks great? Well it does. I thought the original had great graphics, this is like giving it a nice new shiny coat of paint and some extra polygons. Lovely stuff. Maybe I'll go finish it with Kilik... His voice actor is still the same, but he sounds somehow cooler XD. ...............This post is also majorly late. My damn internets is wierd. I was supposed to post it last night. Eh.. *shrugs*..... *goes off to play SC2*

Spoiler-Free Review
Spoiler-y Review Plot-wise..... Kaede returns home to find her family in ruins, her father on the brink of madness and her household living in poverty. She realises she must overcome the limitations women have in this "man's world" and gain power to protect herself, her unborn child and her two young sisters. Takeo, on the other hand, acquires his training with the Tribe (but this is briefly mentioned), is sent on a few missions of assassination, discovers that his conscience and up-bringing can not stand the thought of injustice and decides to run away. He does so. The story concludes with.....! Although it's not really that exciting.
It's fairly short, and is in much of the same style as /Floor/; Lian pays special attention to the landscape in describing the fall of snow on hills but her characters are very flat. I care not at all for Takeo nor Kaede, but find them both rather boring. It must be the way she states things so blandly; Takeo's sojourn through the mountain is a plain description of a physical journey not mentioning any mental growth. In fact, it's summarised in a page. Recommended: Well, if you liked the first one then you'll like this one. If you found the first one dull then likewise. If you were impartial (like moi) then this one fails miserably. Then again, if you like romance and forbidden /love/ (unlike moi) you might like this. There's some political fantasy in it. The only thing Japanese-y about it is the names. Um. There slash in it, so if you bend that way.... It's not descriptive but the hints had me cackling. Pet Peeve: I hate how everything turns back to sex in the end. Maybe some people like that sort of thing but it's very degrading when every topic eventually wanders back to that ol' dance of procreation. C'mon! Writing about sex is NOT going to boost up your sales! [Shizuka and that Ishida dude.] Especially pointless sex - we have a word for that! But I'll still get the last one. You really have to see these books: the covers are /gorgeous/. And they're so /prwety/ sitting next to each other.
~Kam {{ silence }} {{04:16 p.m. Thursday, September 25, 2003}} Johnny Depp owns you all... admit it people!! How can you resist that eccentricity and quirky cuteness. It's been a while since I've seen a film which is as much fun as Pirates of the Caribbean. It's not over the top or full of itself in some sort of Disney-esque attempt to make a widely appealing movie. It's just sheer fun. I wanna see it again~ T_T... No, no... I will see it again! Aha! Er.... but anyway. The film was brilliant, really. Margaret Pomeranz from The Movie Show had it spot on in her review in my opinion. "Where other high-concept movies have fallen to earth Pirates of the Caribbean soars. And it's for a number of reasons. The first would have to be the writing team of Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio of Shrek fame, they've created characters with wit and charm and a narrative that is unbelievable fun. And then there's director Gore Verbinski who directs at a rattling good pace, letting his fine actors chew the scenery. And they do. Johnny Depp's portrayal of Jack Sparrow is a sight to behold – braided hair, a suspect gait, teeth that either need a good diet or some more fillings from ill-gotten gains and an accent that's mid-Atlantic cockney. It's such a cheeky performance, and he gets away with it! As does Geoffrey Rush as Barbossa, he's absolutely wonderful. Those are the two standouts but they're all good. I haven't had such a rollicking good time in the cinema in ages." Go see it now if you haven't already, people~ I think we've just found a new subject for major leechability and fangirlish gigglings anyway....
~Kimi {{ silence }} {{11:17 a.m. Wednesday, September 24, 2003}} For those of [us] who are deeply in love with The Silmarillion.
~Kam {{ silence }} {{08:26 p.m. Tuesday, September 23, 2003}} *sniggers* lmao... those things are rather amusing~ The one with Ron and the "Stop pairing me with Malfoy" had me cracking. And the "Watch the hat". Bwee~ I get to see the movie tomorrow with people after exams. W00tage... all these reviews and your comments down below have me buzzing to see this. Should be fun~ And then I don't have to study. Oh the glories of guiltless procrastination. And now, back to study... *shudder*....... *sigh*
~Kimi {{ silence }} {{01:22 p.m. Monday, September 22, 2003}} Check out this site, Kimi: [here] and look for all the icons. I'm still giggly about the Jack Sparrow Maybelline one and all the slashy LOTR ones. Not sure if I'm such a big fan of H/M slash, but the on that says "I can see right up Potter's robes!" had me cracking. And she has one that says "Light of Earendil." *heart heart* *worship worship*
~Kam {{ silence }} {{12:54 a.m. Saturday, September 20, 2003}} W00tage for CJS Day~ Er... no wait it's actually the day already after isn't it...? Damn T..T Wow I need to blog more... nothing much to say... need to study. Arggg. Need to get to be earlier. *yawns* Has anyone ever pointed out the fact that Final Fantasy Tactics Advance has hell confusing menus? How am I supposed to know that changing the class of my Moogle guy from a Black Mage to a Thief means I have to equip him with new and different weapons? They should have like.. and auto equip or something when you change classes, or an indication when purchasing to tell you what character can use what and how much it improves their stats. I always forget to check the Laws before battle as well, which is annoying when I suddenly find out using daggers gets me thrown in jail. And those special weapons confuse the hell out of me... and why do I have three human archers for some reason.... Maybe I should change some peoples classes. And why can't my White Mage Viera actually do any like... white magic? Whacking people with staffs is so not good when you can only inflict 4 hit points.... But yes, anyway, apart from the lack of explanation (I suppose I could use a faq to explain some of these things but it's not really my style) for some things, this game kicks~ The battles are very addictive, and with 300 to complete it should take some while to finish this game. Not to mention it's got some really nice character portraits~ Ah, good old stylish Final Fantasy....
~Kimi {{ silence }} {{10:30 p.m. Friday, September 19, 2003}} Yo ho! T'is day be International Pirate Talk Day! Avast me hearties! I have dubbed it as Captn Jack Sparrow Day also. Woot for Johnny Depp!
~Kam {{ silence }} {{06:55 p.m. Tuesday, September 16, 2003}} "Ohh, a wedding! I love weddings! Drinks all around!"
List of Actual Living People Kam has Fallen in Love With: And I'm hoping like hell that I spelt all their names right. I think Rhys-Meyers would be a good young Sirius and Day-Lewis a good post-Azkaban Sirius. Gary's not a bad actor but he's waaaaaaay too old and this is not fandom talking. By Rowling's timeline Sirius is only early-thirties.... (Jamesy was 21 when he became a father.... that's younger than my own two brothers: he'd still be too immature if my experience is anything to judge by!) But there's no doubt who should be Arithon, (jumping onto the bandwagon) even though I'd prefer it much-o more if he stayed cartoonised.

~Kam {{ silence }} {{10:54 p.m. Thursday, September 4, 2003}} *was wondering why she couldn't check the angst-boi mail with mozilla*. Man that's a bitch.. what is it with annoying people hacking into stuff anyway? Bah, people are illogical anyway. I'm telling you.... Anyway~ I would like to take this time to thank everyone who's wished me a hppy birthday!! 17, wow, don't I feel old. Not really actually. Now lets see if I can remember what people got me... Well, thanks to dearest parents for the chocolates and the Gameboy Advance SP. That thing is the coolest... thing I have ever owned XD. I want more games for it~ But I haven't even finished the ones I have anyway so.... Thankies to Kam for the Coldplay CD~ *is listening to it right now*. And thankyou to Hikari/Diana for the "Rush of Blood to The Head" album! Sending it to me all the way from NZ.. gosh, I'll have to cram lots of junk into my return package. Just you wait~ Thankyou to Sharnie and Steph for the Grasshopper and dried strawberry things. They do taste rather nice tho, even though the texture reminds me of a strawberry flavoured malteezer. Thankyou to Aarti and Jess for the Clock and jingly therapitic rolling ball things... I'm sure they have a name, but they're cool anyway~ Thankyou to BB for the poster and socks! XD Heh, I have it stuck up on my door now. And thankyou to Alison for the chocolate, notebook and pacer X3. Reminds me I need to draw more often.... Oooh, I think that's it... no wait! Thankyou dearest brother for the Starky CD! It's very cool~ Ok, now I think thst'e everyone so far. If not, then just like... hit me ofer the head or something o.O. And now I need sleep... need to dress up like a terrorist tomorrow. How fun. Hopefully I won't forget what it is I'm actually supposed to do tomorrow.
~Kimi {{ silence }} {{09:49 p.m. Monday, September 1, 2003}} Oh great, oh FUCKING great. Someone might not even be spamming using the account, but just faking the return address and there's not a fuck I can do about it. Fucking brilliant.
~Kam {{ silence }} {{09:33 p.m. Monday, September 1, 2003}} Someone hacked into our email account, and has been sending spam everywhere. I'm very ashamed that such a misdeed has blackened our name, since I consider spammers to be the epidome of evil, and it angers me greatly that some inconsiderate son of a bitch would dare to do such an act. My only wish right now is to fix up this issue and then find that little fuck and beat the shit out of him. Or her. It doesn't matter. I want blood. On a lighter note: Happy Birthday Kimi!
~Kam {{ silence }} {{05:10 p.m. Saturday, August 30, 2003}} Wow I feel like I've been on some kind of wierd holiday. Thankyou, thankyou, yes I'm not dead... although at a certain time during the week I did feel like I was. And then I think I feinted, so whaddya know~.. Anyway. I have an extremely great urge to want to know what is going on in D.N.Angel right now.... Because omfg it's about Dark's past!! Okay it might be a few ambiguously worded and obscure pages of it but meh.. I am a fangirl, what can I say *grins*. Need... next chapter.. badly. And not just because the next issue has a free D.N.Angel poster. I hope it's of Dark~ And damn you to hell Maquarie uni for reminding me of Sirius again. For some reason his name was slapped over the front of their magazine in large font. It may of course be the name of the publication but nevertheless made me feel forlorn.... I need food.
~Kimi {{ silence }} {{08:18 p.m. Sunday, August 17, 2003}} ADSL is soooo.... *drools*. 56k was always a dealable-with speed. But ADSL is something you can relish in, I think.... Have been, surprise surpise, procrastinating. Wouldn't think it would you. In act of randomness, or maybe not quite, I bought a game for a system I don't yet own. I have decided for my birthday to update on my technological gadgetry and buy a Gameboy Advance. SP no less, in all it's backlit glory with shiny silver platinum. Too bad about the lack of a headphone socket tho. So yes, I bought a second hand copy of Golden Sun for 40 bucks~ Supposedly with the release of the sequel Golden Sun: The Lost Age, they stopped production of the first one, so I nabbed it before it could dissapear. Final Fantasy Tactics Advance is coming out in about a month as well, which should be good. Never really played any of those Tactics type games, but it looks engaging. Square always makes pretty cool games anyway. It's been a while since I relished in a good old classic RPG's tho, so no doubts I'll be glued to my GBASP when I get it in two weeks. Well actually that's not entirely true... I got inspired and started playing Tales of Phantasia again, although to my annoyance I lost my old saved game. They're bringing that out for the GBA as well tho, a semi-port of the PS remake of the old SNES classic. Friggin I need to finish this art essay thing tho. Bah how I loathe the, work~
~Kimi {{ silence }} {{11:19 a.m. Friday, August 15, 2003}} Just realised another thing; all these kids are probably using out Madrid protocol website to do their yr10 assignment. I wonder if they know the truth....
~Kam {{ silence }} {{11:03 a.m. Friday, August 15, 2003}} Note to self:
~Kam {{ silence }} {{05:21 p.m. Thursday, August 7, 2003}} That's weird. Developing into a internet hermit, have absolutely no desire to chat with anyone, respond emails (my bad) or blog anymore. Affection level for blog falling. Very worrying. *pats kleptomaniac* But I like "him/her/it" still, so keep it I shall.
Life update: Sick as a very sick, sick.... thing. (Not that sort of sick) Behind on work, socialising and drawing. And you know what? I couldn't be f***ed. Really. What a odd and yet, lovely, feeling.
Other news: I went and read all of the 38 volumes of Ranma 1/2 nonstop, so I'm in a bit of a mood right now. Ryoga.... actually looks quite good next to Ranma... Isn't that something? What a adorable pig. Favourite chapters: the fishing rod of love and the growth mushrooms. Sweeeet~
Top word favoured by Japanese anime: On upside RL social life is fine. Or as fine as fine does. [edit: if you sent an email with swear words in the subject line, I'll most likely delete it as spam. In fact, if I don't respond, the chances are it's because I thought it was spam. Gomen.]
[Side note: spam, for the under-educated, is a type of processed ham so beaten up and mangled that it is no longer known as ham but 'spam.' Spam is also internet slang for junk mail. To be spammed is to: I can't believe someone actually asked me what spam was. And it wasn't my mum.]
~Kam {{ silence }} {{09:25 p.m. Monday, August 4, 2003}} Good god... *hits blog, then blinks at screen in that faraway manner*. Something's up with Winamp.... anyway. I have a feeling I should do something right now. Like get up that damn D.N.Angel website. I said I was going to do it! I will yet, I'll show you all! I feel strangely giddy actually.. I sent off my randomness packed letter to Hikari, my yaoi loving friend in NZ. She conned me into drawing slash, which I find highly amusing XD (Argg... but they do look good together, I have to admit...). Bah, it's not my fault one of my characters is so slashable (Short, slim and angsting. Kinda like Ari actually....). I never realised Tanya was a slash fan actually o.O... I thought she just liked reading Secret Diaries because they were funny. I think slash must just be an innate fangirl thing, whether you like manga or not. Bah, must watch White Collar Blue now. I keep on missing that show...
~Kimi {{ silence }} {{09:48 p.m. Friday, July 18, 2003}} Eeep, slept in on Thursday -_-;... I was going to come, but, err.... Well, had a spiffy day with Alana and her friends today, wandering around the city doing... stuff. Fun stuff, that is to say. Got a new wallet. Creame not a good colour, I fear. It'll get dirty quickly. Oh well. Thankyou muchly for the CD Alana~!! *has bumped up her MP3 collection by about 200 songs* That Pauline Hanson song.. is so funny *is listening to it now*. Cool songs in those compilations tho.. go Triple J I say! Have you seen the Bebop train scene yet Alana~? Is it cool or what~ XD *sighs* Only 3 more days of holidays... Hmm... feel I should do something constructive. Might get around to it sometime... You never know. Will have to confirm a few issies with the server but everything appears to be running smoothly. Rather hectic and irritable couple of days that was, but oh well. *idles away trying to write as she listens to her new mp3's~*
~Kimi {{ silence }} {{06:48 p.m. Wednesday, July 16, 2003}} Agh! That reminds me, I nearly forgot... Steph was going to ring you about meeting up tomorrow to go to the Aquarium, but she didn't have your number. A couple of people are going i think, and if you want to come then we'll be meeting at Chatswood platform at 10:30, catching a train to Town Hall... or central or something like that. She didn't mention price, so maybe we're using those freebie tickets or something. I'd bring some cash along anyway~ Oh yeah, I changed the contact address for our domain to my labyrinth account instead of your angstboi account. You don't mind do you? I thought it would be better, since if the server craches out it'd be a bit hard to e-mail you. Plus I'm in the habit of actually checking my mail regularly since using Mozilla. If anything pops up i'll forward it to you as soon as I get it~
~Kimi {{ silence }} {{02:55 p.m. Tuesday, July 15, 2003}} Yeha, I kind of thought you were either away or you internet was screwed up or something -.-. It would have been nice if you'd told me you were going to be away so I didn't rant on about nothing, but anyway. Doesn't really matter now~ I dunno what to do actually... By the look of things our account hasn't changed and we're still on the larger plan, but I'll have to ask and see which plan has been processed and which one has been cancelled. Agh, I never knew renewing could be so confusing... Bah, must dash off to Chatswood. Getting another inking pen~ Yayness...
~Kimi {{ silence }} {{12:27 p.m. Tuesday, July 15, 2003}} I have been away for the last five (?) days, so give me a break. Re: Hellsing. Oh, yeah. I need to take that off - Hellsing's been licensed now. *sweatdrop*
~Kam {{ silence }} {{12:22 p.m. Monday, July 14, 2003}} "We've received your order of payment and we've cancelled the previous billing. We have also put in for the transfer and renewal of your domain name. If you have any further inquiries, please don't hesitate to reply." Well that doesn't exactly answer my question of what happens because we've downgraded. I still don't know who's payed for what either, or which plan we're on.... *sighs*. I assume by the above comment that we're on the smaller plan but that doesn't bode well for our sudden influx. We have about 5 meg of space. As for that I think I know why our bandwidth has jumped and our space has shrunk, and it has to do with your Hellsing files. It's the only explanation i can find anyway since they take up about 70 meg and people keep on downloading them. If this keeps up we might have to switch plans, get an upgrade or just stop hosting them. *is getting frustrated at lack of communication*. Where are you Kam... I'v been talking to no-one but myself for the past two weeks.
~Kimi {{ silence }} {{11:16 p.m. Sunday, July 13, 2003}} Since something is going wierd with the server I did a bit of checking through our e-mail lists to see if that message I sent to you actually came through, which I assume it was fowarded to your yahoo account anyway. But I also noticed an e-mail from your father which had the title "Already payed". I'v mailed the people at Cyperpixels to try and sort out this mess of a domain renewal. Why in didn't you tell me your father had already payed? Has he already payed? Hell I don't even know if he has, since I haven't heard from you at all in the past week. A domain isn't worth getting into an arguement over, but would someone please explain what the hell is going on? People never seem to tell me anything lately. I want a word goddamnit. An explanation for what is going on, because I'm damn confused o_O
~Kimi {{ silence }} {{09:53 p.m. Sunday, July 13, 2003}} Hark, Kam, where art thou? Have payed~ Joy, now I won't have to look at little red boxes in a few days. Went for the cheaper option however, of the neoPixel plan. Dad wondered why we needed all this extra stuff we didn't need, which had to begrudgingly admit was true. Well, if we should need more we can get upgrades for a buck a month anyway. It's not as if we're locked into the constraints of the plan or anything. Have mailed them about what happens to our existing files and whatnot because we're using a different plan, but hopefully everything should transition smoothly into the new year of hosting. You know, as it nears the end of registration you beging to apreciate how nice it is to have your own domain~ Not having to upload files to Geocities and hope if people will actually be able to see them or whatever. *sighs and pets our little angst-boi.net* Edit Okay, WTF.... how in the hell did the main direstory of our domain get so much bandwidth? 600meg, what the hell? And what happened to our space? *investigates while grumbling* Great, just when I think I'v payed for this and everything's fine this damn thing scares the shit out of me... we're going to have like 3meg of space unless I find out what the hell is clogging up our domain
~Kimi {{ silence }} {{03:01 a.m. Sunday, July 13, 2003}} As a side note, Animania is coming around again this year in October, on the 11th and 12th. Baying wolves could not keep me away I tell you. I still use that Hikago fan I bought there last time. And I'll actually have money as well. There's nothing better than actually going to a place with spiffing things to buy and being able to actually buy them. I'll probably be a stickler and buy cheap posters or something again. Half of it's bootlegs anyway... I wonder if I could cosplay. The idea makes me irk for some reason since I remember that bad sailor moon cosplayer we saw at that con, but er, anyway. Me and cosplaying aren't two words that seem to fit. But you never know. I'm probably too lazy to try and do something flashy anyway. Maybe I'm too much of a chicken to go up on stage. But it would be fun, I think, to do something different. Might make an ass of myself, but hey, you only live once after all. I never did do that Karaoke thing. Alana said the people who went up were terrible, so maybe I won't seem out of place. Actually I don't think I sing that bad, but er, yeah.... lots of people, looking and expectantly waiting. *twitches* Think you'll be interested in coming? It's a while off, but we'll probably be able to 'round up some other people from Devart and such. Alana said she's going to try and get Dave to cosplay as Kaji from Eva XD... They don't have anything up on it yet, but they'd better have an art comp. Having got a Daily Feature at Devart I feel more confident that I might actually get nearer to winning something for a change. Next time I won't let them have my sketchbook tho. But then again this won't be just after a school camp. Organisation is such a lovely thing isn't it~ But it's late, and I feel like I'm going to ramble off into incoherency soon.
~Kimi {{ silence }} {{12:27 a.m. Sunday, July 13, 2003}} Wow.. slow week at the blog. I cannot stop sniggering lately... Or grinning... or somesuch like that. I've been RP-ing with my friend Hikari from NZ~ It's slashy o_O. Only mild slash mind you. Cuddliness and all. Cannot believe I wrote that. No actually I could have written something else but then people would think me even more odd.... Good Lord it's damn funny tho. I've commited character murder on half my people, which thankfully has not spilled over into my attempts to write my fic. I have no practice RP-ing slashiness of any kind.... But it's just so damn twitchy it's hillarious *hunches over keyboard laughing*. You know you're doing it for the humour when you create a freak storm just to strand your people in a hotel. Yes people... a hotel. Do you know what goes on in hotel rooms? o_O... Not enough by Hikari's standards, but anyway. I cannot write slash I tell you, so don't anyone go asking me to put it in my fic, or anything else for that matter. It makes me laugh too much. Not to mention it just wouldn't work... I shall reserve evil thoughts for RP-ish humour, thankyou~ Do all fangirls go through this stage at some point? Are we doomed to be beckoned by the dark side that is slash and all its incarnations, or is it just our natural curiosity? Like watching a painful car accident. You know you shouldn't... but you can't help looking. Maybe we really are one step away from twitchy pairings. Gah, help me now, I can't stop grinning~ Or twitching for that matter, but that might have something to do with the cold. Oooh, Mozilla mail is cool. It has a nifty anti-spam filter which actually works, as opposed to most other ones. Did you get my e-mail I sent you a week ago? I have like two days to pay for this thing and your dad is supposed to cancel something or whatnot. I'm cold... Arrgg~

Was in Ancient and talking about the founding of Rome with Romulus and Remus. I'm not going to be able to look at either name without feeling slightly forlorn -.- Bugger.... The Crucible is so... depressing -.-. The ending has a certain resonance of futility about it as well. Aggg, ending scene.. 'snif'. Very powerful scened toward the end tho.

~Kam {{ silence }} {{01:05 p.m. Tuesday, July 1, 2003}} Okay... maybe I came across a little strong in that last post, but you'd mentioned a server switch about a week ago, and a home server wasn't what I was expecting. I was in a bit of a 'WTF? o_O...' mood.... But I'm not pissed off about this, so I would apreciate you not getting annoyed at me. It's not that I'm mocking your want for cheaper and less constrictive serving. I talked with my brother about the whole thing yersterday, and he agrees that it simply doesn't seem like a great idea. There are so many things that could go wrong, so much energy that would be needed to get the server running, and I don't think you would want to run into issues with your ISP over running one either (Many ADSL providers block the http port, and monitor such things. The last thing you want is to get fined or banned or something). Nor would you want someone hacking into your computer. It just seems like too much hassle for something that doesn't really seem worth it. Sometimes just paying for a good decent service is better than trying to work around price and get something cheaper
~Kimi {{ silence }} {{05:34 p.m. Monday, June 30, 2003}} You have until the weekend to convince me why this is a good idea, but i warn you I will be hard pressed to find it more viable than paying for a server. As I said before, there are a lot of reasons why people don't use their home computers as servers, one of them beign the fact that you're not even supposed to use residential connections as servers (I would check the terms of your ADSL agreement before doing anything). It's not that I'm totally against the idea. It's just I don't see it working, and if anything it might turn out to be more expensive. Download limits can also include uploading, and you said you get charged for exceding you limit don't you? Not to mention the speed of residential ADSL just isn't fast enough to support a domain. And what's the point in getting ADSL if it's just going to get clogged up with people downloading? It's like running a file-sharing program 24/7, and a waste of good money in my opinion. These people have dedicated servers with stacks of memory, fast HDD's, powerful processors and secure connections running at megs per second, not the feeble 50k or whatever we have in Australia. Not to mention the firewall protection you'll need to for your computer. I'm all for cheapness but I really don't see this whole thing working to an acceptable standard. I'd rather pay the 150 bucks a year for something stable, reliable, and less hassle for the both of us.

There's this place called Project Zen run by an online buddy of mine, Red, and you upload high quality scans and things like that. Well I'm wandering in the forums and stumble across a thread in the wallpapers area, to find someone made a D.N.Angel wallpaper with one of the images I'v uploaded. All's well and fine, good for them for making a wallpaper, but then I see some of the images on the Dark gallery on their site... Strangely familiar. I fact they're the same, pixel for pixel, as two D.N.Angel images I uploaded, including the huge poster that took me quite some time to scan. And what else do I find? There's no credit, no "This images I got from [link], and were scanned by [suchandsuch]". *twitches, and not in a good way* What makes it more annoying is that they feel fine to let people know they don't mind if they take their images. I mean, bloody hell, hasn't anyone hear of website ettiquite? You give credit, or I get peeved. I was always hesitant about uploading some of those images, and now I feel like asking to have them taken down. People can scan in their own stuff, thankyou very much... And unless you want our domain to expire, would you care to ellaborate on what exactly you have found? I though cyberpixels was quite good actually...

No. That's right, give him a shity childhood, kill his best friend, throw him into prison for said killing of best friend, make him escape and live on rats, imprison him again and then kill him. Lovely. The puppy is dead and Remus will have to howl by himself. No more exotic birds bearing letters, no more sarcastic comments concerning Snape, no more dog chasing tail or running alongside a train, no more eating of newspapers, grooming of Buckbeak, or growling at Ministry bastards. No more Sirius. The puppy is dead. ~Kam [Edit: And another thing. Where the FUCK was Remus when all this happened? Wasn't he supposed to be Sirius's only surviving best friend? Oh, sure, we all know where Professor Lupin was but WHERE THE FUCK WAS REMUS?!!]

That'll be a few years I suspect. {{ silence }} {{09:00 p.m. Sunday, June 22, 2003}} I seem to be feeling more dissatisfied with this book all the time, and for that it annoys me greatly. Hell maybe I just need to read it in a less sleep-deprived mood. Something struck me about CC's words when she said how joyless the HP world had become. I think in some ways it has What... really annoys me about this book was the futility of Sirius's demise. I think I understand now why you didn't like his death scene. I liked it for the simply put eloquence, that stark falling back into the veil, that final moment when Remus spoke the words we didn't want to hear. But now his whole death is starting to frustrate me. It was so bloody... pointless. I mean, why? Why in the hell did Sirius have to die? To teach Harry a lesson? To make him more angsty? It was so frikking preventable it makes me want to scream. I felt like kicking Harry somewhere hard when he went to use the fireplace to contact Sirius, and yelling at him "You bloody idiot, don't you remember the package he gave you!". And he wasn't even protecting Harry at the time, it wasn't a life or death sacrifice of significant meaning, a sacrifice for the son of his best friend. He was deuling with that cousin-whatshername of his, and the situation was almost completely under control except for that. I'm starting to feel sorry for Sirius being killed off so shamelessly. In fact, I think my whole perception of Harry Potter in general has been seriously thrown out of whack. I'm going to have to read Azkaban again. But It pains me to say I won't be able to look at it the same way again, knowing what happens, knowing the senseless death of one of my favourite characters is waiting a few books away. Knowing he will never again grace those pages, and for what? At this moment that makes me rather depressed. I really, really need to read over Phoenix again when I'm not half asleep. The last chapters have become so scrambled I wonder if it wasn't a dream Oh yes, the living together made me sqee as well. Especially when they were both talking in the fireplace~ *stares around as people look at her oddly* Oh, come on.. I have to grasp some redeemable features from this book or I'll bloody bite someone's head off. I liked the beggining of this book, a few sparce paragraphs toward the end, and that was about it. But the whole explanation at the end... eurg. I just want to hurl this book at someone while reading the ending. *scoffing* Prophecies?? What in the name of buggery... Voldemort played such a nonsensical role toward the end as well, which I find totally absurd and rather demeaning. I just... Arggggg!! I can't talk about this book any more!! [As a side note we should archive this with the mourning layout, in remembrace of our futile railings at the unfairness of it all...] *stares down* Cool death? What the hell was I thinking when I wrote that?
~Kimi {{ silence }} {{05:35 p.m. Sunday, June 22, 2003}} I squeed more when Sirius and Remus were alone in that house together. Short-lived but sweet. No. I hated Sirius's death, not just because it was Sirius but more of how pointless and wasteful it seemed to be. I can not put it into words so I'm going to get someone else to do it for me: CassandraClaire. I don't agree with everything she says but I do about Sirius's death and the themes revolving around it. And Ginny. If we're speaking about Peter I feel Hyphen did a better Peter than Rowling herself. A shallow, pathetic character like that? Too predictable, too cliche. I hated it. I've always felt that he should have some depth, some reasons for fawning over James and turning to Voldemort other than he was "a weak, spineless rat." *frown* We have pretty much the same views reading your rant: but the point you made about Sirius having possibly just left home was one I had missed. It shouldn't be an excuse for poor behaviour but understandable. I got the impression from Lily that Sirius and James had been doing ever since they learnt their first hex, however. Sirius may have been suffering all his life - being the "black" sheep of the family - but wouldn't you normally learn from experiences such as these? Wait, I take that back. Look at Remus. James's comment on Severus's existense was a horrible, snide comment that I would have thought only possible from Malfoy. If you've read Nemesis's Best of Friends, you'll notice that her characterisation of James may not be all that far off. I was thinking about Hagrid's comment to Harry about how it was the way Sirius would have wanted to go. I suppose so; he would have wanted to die protecting Harry, it's kind of like his redemption isn't it? For failing James. No, I think that's pretty much it. As Leareth puts it: He really has "bit the dust." We all know what the archway symbolises, and what crossing the veil means, and the name of that room. I think he's had it but that doesn't mean his name won't play some important part in the future plot. Stupid Harry, why didn't he look at the mirror first before sticking his head into the fireplace, Sirius probably would have been carrying the other half as he was tending Buckbeak. IS that the irony Rowling's attempting to achieve? It IS Harry's sin that his godfather died, just like it was Sirius's with James's death? What I loved the most was Phineas's reaction. He may spew and pout about how much he hates his great etc etc grandson, but his sullen silence and dissappearance pretty much explains his exact feeling concerning Sirius. Oh HELL, I can't bear to listen to "Hoshi no Love Letter" anymore! No, I'm not going to think about it anymore. It's ripping my heart apart and I can't stand it. Don't get me wrong, this does not mean I don't love Sirius anymore (I could no more do that than stop breathing) but I won't dwell on how futile his death seemed. So.... pointless. Another thought. I think I'm gonna put "dog star" on the back of my jumper. "Siriusly" would have been more amusing but it seems to be abit insulting to his name now that he's gone. Crapulence, I said I wan't going to think about it!
~Kam {{ silence }} {{05:51 p.m. Sunday, June 22, 2003}} Because life is just a dream that never ends...
Never seen a blue sky
Things have turned a deeper shade of blue
Everything is clearer now
~Kimi {{ silence }} {{02:30 p.m. Sunday, June 22, 2003}} Bah, yes, spoilers for HP #5.... Okay, so I can only be so ambiguous. But I never actually said who dies... Doesn't really matter who started it I guess anyway. We've already ranted so much~ Hmmm hmm~ *flexes fingers* Erg, I never was one for deep analysis of books when I could avoid it. But I'm feeling ranty... On a whole I think Rowling demonstrated a good touch of character development for Order of the Phoenix. That one flashback in the Pensieve was really quite well done. One couldn't help feel disgusted with their behaviour in that scene. I think up to this point we have seen the Marauders as being perfect delinquents, and fandom has certainly made them out that way too. Mischievous in a Fred and George type way, having fun and all that, but reserving hatred for the right people. Retaliating only after being antagonised. And for a couple of pages that illusion lasted. But in sympathy for Harry one has mostly stuck on the defensive side of accusations again them. Snape, as the villain who shows such eternal loathing for Harry, you couldn't help but jump on his views as wrong. But then of course, realism kicks in. Things aren't perfect one sided affairs. Arrogance out of jealousy has turned out to be arrogance in truth, and so where do we leap from there? How much of our own views have twisted things? I was glad for that snippet, glad for the depth it provided. Well, except for maybe Peter... he seemed far too stereotypical and simpering, like a fawning lap-dog. Better would it have been is she portrayed him as simply having a weak character, instead of being a shallow character. I sincerely hope they managed to get over their bad habits though. Everyone has flaws, but a marring taint on their personalities such as that... Perhaps itfs like the current generation, like the words of Lupin in the third book when he scolded Harry for gambling the life his parents had given him for a bag of magic tricks. Maybe the nearness of death during that fearful time knocked them out of their arrogant stupor, or maybe they just grew up. Although near death experiences don't seem to have tempered Harry's misgivings in that respect. But... I think at that time Sirius had adopted an uncaring attitude. This would have been at the point where he left his family, so his attitude could stem from that. When you're that fed up you don't really give a damn. It was just bad for Severus that he was the brunt of Sirius's disgruntlement of life. It doesn't excuse his behaviour of course. But it lends an understanding. And James, well... he doesn't really have much of an excuse except for a swollen head, which only made things worse for Sirius's behaviour. He'd just rejected his family. I don't think he wanted his best friend to reject him, and compounding their two personalities together was sure to amount to a whole lot of despicable behaviour. I think I would be in fear of repeating what you said about Snape, so I'll just have to commend Rowling as well... Snape has come from a rather 2 dimensional character into being one of the more deeper and sympathetic. Just goes to show you don't need to have angsted in Azkaban to developed a deep and likeable character. I now have a much greater respect for Severus, I must say. The books have certainly taken a jump in a good character development direction. There's a level of humanism in there which was missing from the other books. Hmm, I'm not sure.... I was satisfied with his death scene. There was something about it which struck me as almost eloquent. I have a feeling, too, that Sirius's apparent death was not what it seemed. It reminded me a whole lot of Wheel of Time when Moiraine fell through the ter'Angreal when battling Lanfear. Does anyone really know what lies behind the veil? The whispers of the dead, maybe, but who can say they're not alive... Sirius had a vivacity for life, one cannot deny it. Confined in his own unhappiness for so long, it's hard to blame him completely for his actions. I don't think Sirius really wanted to grow up, but Azkaban forced it upon him. When he was in Azkaban, when he was in his mother's house, he wasn't doing anything, he couldn't do anything. To live out those moments which had given him so much happiness, to experience life in all it's richness. When faced with freedom after all that, what would you do? Vivacity made him reckless, but maybe he wanted to recapture as many of those stolen years as he could before they were taken away again. He was always at his happiest when he was doing something, when he was challenging the bounds that had restricted him. Actually it reminds me of a quite from Macross Plus.
I dunno. I'm a bit mixed about this book. Some elements struck me as being wonderfully written, others fell flat. Maybe Harry just suffered a bit too much from his fathers... traits at that time, and so I couldnft really empathise with the books as much. Maybe I was just too sleepy to take it in. Remus seemed a bit neglected too... Oh yes, we squeed when he came along no doubt, but it would have been nicer to see some more character interaction.
But Sirius... will always live on...
EDIT: I noticed that too, when I was flicking for other people opinions on this. 'Bit the dust' is perhaps not the words I would usually associate with the death of a character like Sirius. It seems a bit... insulting to his name.
Unfortunately brothers seem not to posess a great deal of tact when it come to that. But strangely when I was mulling over the book at 5.30 in the morning it was something akin to that which hit me. That it was the final word. The final chapter in the story of a character that has enthralled us from that insignificant sentance in book 1. From Azkaban to the Order, there are no more tales, no more moments. There is nothing left but a shimmering veil, a broken mirror and unsaid words. And that... that is the painful truth

Shut up if you have nothing good to say, shut up. I feel like slapping him: went to bed with a empty desolute feeling in my stomach, woke up with a aching heart, but it wasn't until he said that when it broke and it hit me: he's dead and Remus will never see him.

{{11:00 a.m. Sunday, June 22, 2003}} **Rant warning and SPOILERS for Order of the Phoenix.**
I most certainly did not start it! You're the one who started going on specifically about events
Actually, I haven't sobbed about his death, yet, I suppose. I thought his death would have killed me like it did with Nighteyes but it didn't. I think I suspected it was coming when Artermis told me Rowling had been going around crying over something. Or maybe I haven't come to grips with it. And really; Sirius Black will forever live on in the minds of his fans.
I disagree with you about his death. It was the most unsatisfying death I have ever read, second only to the death of Fuchsia from Gromenghast. In fact, Sirius could have competed with her lousy death scene. Did not do him justice at all whatsoever. Sirius deserves more than a paragraph falling. Gee.
Cho annoys me. Lupin didn't get enough screen time, but I understand since this is meant to be Sirius's book and Harry.... Well. Harry should GROW UP and stop being such a complete and utter self-centred bastard.
I earnestly sympathise with Severus, and in my heart I only hope that James really turned over a new leaf in his last year since I can't stand him anymore. I think the Fandom has taken on a very Harry-listic view of the Quidditch captain. He was a good person, honest, righteous, brave, daring etc etc. But no one mentioned to Harry that James was a arrogant prick with a head the size of a small elephant. It is good that Rowling included that chapter, no more of this Perfect image of James; the model student. I can find no words to pardon James from his actions. I hope that what Remus testified was true: he was only a child and he grew out of it, enough for Lily to change her mind about him. Which brings great hope to Harry. One has to wonder, was rescuing Severus in the Shack for Remus or Snape?
Sirius, in his past kind of disgusted me too: He is allowed to act the bully simply because he is beautiful? Does being stylish, charismatic, drop-dead gorgeous give him the born right to treat any human being, Slytherins included, the way he did? How is he any better than any of his relatives? He may not be casting forbidden curses on Muggles but his endless torment of Severus makes him just as bad if not worse.
And Severus, grown up in a house of discord and unhappiness: ingredients to a character of privacy and self-dependence, can not help what he is or the fact that people do not like him. Already Death-Eater material, along with the suffering from those Two (or should I say Four? Remus was no help, more later) can it really be helped that Severus turned to Tommy for revenge? (I noticed Dumbledore still calls him "Tom," the name he detests. It's kinda of... whatsthatword, demeaning if you know what I mean.) Can it be helped that Severus hated James and consequently Harry, his son who shares James's looks and many of his undesirable traits (pride and arrogance)? I applaud Rowling on the marvellous development of his character: Severus may not look like a SexGod and probably needs to wash his underwear more often but his amazing strength of character shines through; the strength to leave Voldemort and serve Good alongside the people he hates most in the world. Well done, Snape.
Remus Lupin. Dear studious, kind-hearted, polite, loyal Prefect. Stood by and said nothing as his friends bullied, not just Severus, but the majority of the school (according to what Lily said). It makes him no better than James: maybe worse. He is a Griffindor, is he not? He knows it is wrong and he knows, too, what is it like to be singled out because of being different. Why was he not brave enough to say something, anything to save Severus? This act of cowardice is something I would have expect from Peter, not Remus. To sit by, ignoring the fight flying above his head is irresponsible, careless and needlessly cruel. It is good that CurrentRemus is ashamed of his school years - all the times when he stood back and let James/Sirius have at it. The result of what Severus became (Death Eater) falls onto him. He never drew the line with those Two.
And Peter. Pathetic. Expected better from Rowling. I hoped she would give him more depth than just some shallow creep of a boy: no will power whatsoever. Although with a leader like James what can you expect?
Sirius never grew up. Deep in that heart of his he's still just a boy, which is why he gets frustrated and reckless. Hermione is right; Sirius is just trying to relive his school years through Harry (And Harry's not helping either, what being like his father and all). Maybe it's a form of denial: of James's death and his guilt, of his years in Azkaban, of loneliness and suffering, of betrayal heaped atop betrayal. Sirius just wants to return to those days when it was just him and James laughing over a prank pulled at the Slytherin House table. So perhaps, he really will be much happier in death than he was in life, and besides, I don't think this will be the last we'll hear of him.

{{10:21 a.m. Sunday, June 22, 2003}} *sighs*... And so the final page has been turned... we know who dies.
I suspect this shall be the topic of many a forlorn discussion in the comming days. But... I think deep down I hoped it was Remus... well, maybe not specifically Remus, who I daresay ranks second in favouritism, but just someone else. Not until the coming of the final chapters did I really think it would be Sirius. Although then again you don't tend to openly dwell on the death of your favourite character. Maybe it just felt like we were finally getting to know so much about him. His past, his situation... before we had never really understood Sirius to a great extent, and now suddenly at this level of heightened understanding he dies. Which I guess in a way is rather suiting. Better to have been understood in death than to misunderstood. But the prospect of the following books without Sirius's grinning, mischevious presence leaves me disheartened. In the books after #3 there was always that grinning anticipation, and now it's gone. *feels a hollow gnawing in her stomach... which may or may not have something to do with the fact that i'm really hungry...*. I think Rowling did him justice in his death scene though. There aren't many other ways I could imagine him dying. He was himself to the end really...
Oh, and anyone who stumbles upon this blog. Sorry if we spoiled it for you~ I tried to remain spoiler free, but she started it... *Nods head to side at Kam*. Oh well, I was getting bit tired of trying to remain ambiguous anyway...
I think I'll have to read the book again in the holidays though. By 5AM my head was getting a bit fuzzy, and I think I gnawed a hole in my cheek by the end of it... From about 9pm to 5 I don't think i closed the book once. Well, except when he died... then I had to shut it with clenched fists and go "Noooooooooo~!" *snif-snif*.... Arg, must do assignments. Bah..
