listening to: Matsutoya Yumi - 7 Truths 7 Lies
Eheh. I'm amused.
Was just doing my rounds a few minutes ago and checked Myspace bulletins, and found one from BLOOD announcing that they now have an account at mixi, which is sort of like a Japanese Myspace-like community site thing. So I went there and was just going through the process to add them to my friend list when Kiwamu pounced and went into "Hey, do you have mixi?! I just added you to mine ^_____^" (only slightly paraphrased). I dunno, it just amuses me to no end that he actually hunted down my profile there and added me before I even had a chance to add him. Dork.
Anyway. Remember a couple posts ago when I had the idea to delve into the world of fansubbing? Well, not long after that I started translating episodes of the no-longer-running Japanese variety show D no Arashi. I've finished 8 episodes now, not counting one frickin' line in #5 and a couple in #7 that refuse to be perceived as intelligible over various background noise. Currently about halfway through episode 9. To give you an idea, in my first 2 days spent obsessively translating these things, I finished 2 episodes. Wonder if I'll ever have a prayer of finishing all 116 of them? Heh. Yeah. I'm just looking forward to getting up into the 20s or so when they start getting really goofy and amusing. But yeah, if I can actually motivate myself to finish a good chunk of these and turn them into fansubs, I'll be really darn proud of myself.
Speaking of time-killing stuff, I now have the sixth and final season of Xena on DVD, the first two volumes of Death Note, a legal copy *cough* of Advent Children, the first 4 eps of Haibane Renmei, and *gasp* Final Fantasy X. Indeed, I now own a PS2. I'm finally human! So yes... I have much to keep me busy for the next several weeks. Assuming I can manage to tear myself away from translating these videos.
I miss kitty, though. WOW better have her back online soon.
Oh, I discovered something cool yesterday. Apparently AZNTV is actually running J-dramas again, Sunday nights at 11. I can't even remember the last time I saw one on that network, but I know it was back when they were still the International Channel. The one they're running now is Nodame Cantabile, and I'm not sure how hard I should try to get into it since I'm sure the one I caught yesterday couldn't have been the first episode, and I have an annoying aversion to watching things out of order.
I'm still trying to figure out a new J-drama to download too. Last one I finished was Kisarazu Cat's Eye, which was... not a masterpiece, but had its amusing moments. Interesting cast, too... ahem. Anyway, I know I want to see Majo no Jouken soon, and of course the rest of Stand Up, but a certain fansubbing group hasn't finished fansubbing them yet and, the way things are going, probably won't for several more months. I've also been wanting to see Yasashii Jikan, Yoiko no Mikata, and Minami-kun no Koibito, but they're not subbed at all. Grr. Maybe I'll break down and get Gokusen 2 after all, even though I heard it sucked compared to the first season... or that Kindaichi Files thing, though the only one I've found downloadable is the third season and I was hoping to see the first two before that... bloody elusive oldskool series. Hmm, I guess there's also Itoshi Kimi E and Koori no Sekai... and stuff...
How have I bounced around between topics so much? Guess this is what happens when I don't post my rants often enough. Pardon my thinking out loud.
I'm tempted to watch Mukodono and Hana Yori Dango again, though... evil addictive things...
*slaps self*
I think I'll go start playing with my new Xena box. Too tired to concentrate on translating but it's too early to sleep.
