I HAS A RAIHO

THAT IS ALL

Man I love this remix:

Lenka - Trouble Is a Friend (Eli Escobar Mix)

There's a local radio station called BFM 89.9 that has a branding campaign that play on the letters BFM. Basically you have huge adverts like "Bankers Flee Mortgages: BFM89.9", "Bankrupt Fannie Mae: BFM 89.9" on the back of taxis and car stickers.

Today I saw a particular advert on a taxi that had me sniggering for quite a bit.

BRAWN FOILS MCLAREN

The mother-unit called today and told me that she was 'doing some cleaning up' which generally means 'I need room for my stuff so I'm throwing out yours! :D'. After the usual routine of 'THROW THAT ONE BOX OUT AND DIE' from me (and my siblings too, I bet) she mentioned that instead of throwing them out, why not just ship the box to me?

"Well, apart from the shoebox that you told me Not To Open Until Doomsday, it's just a bunch of your old books."
"Oh yeah, my old comics and books from school."
"I don't see why you still keep those comics, they're--"
"THEY'RE TINTIN AND THEY'RE COLLECTORS' ITEMS. TOUCH THEM AND DIE." (See, this is where all the sibling-units say the same thing. XD)
"What about the rest? How about the pile of mythology books?"
"Oooh ship those!"
"All right."
"...."
"Yes, we'll send the money for it tomorrow. >_>"

Anyway, a friend wanted to know if my reading interests actually changed throughout the years, so...

School:
- Icelandic sagas
- stuff about ancient Egypt
- Franco-Belgian comics (Cinebooks UK have absolutely fab releases if you're interested! And for Certain People, OMG THEY HAVE YOKO TSUNO)
- NINJAS
- Beano annuals XD

Uni:
- Yet more sagas
- stained glass art. CANNOT REMEMBER WHY.
- medieval costumes. I'm trying to remember why. o_O
- medieval warfare. Partly because some people at uni tried to build a trebuchet. LOL
- horror folktales
- historical mystery fiction

Now:
- Southeast Asian history
- the occasional dose of NINJAS
- random philosophy and psychology books
- European medieval history...
- heraldry...
- (pattern emerging, anyone? XP)

So, the rest of you! Were your reading interests/habits throughout the years Samey-old Samey-old, Total Chaos And I Love It, or This Is An Awesome Intellectual Growth Plan? (As for mine, roomie summed it up in terms totally unfit for print LOL). Cookies and tunes for answering.

Nothing much up there for now except for KITTIES.

This is me hoping that what I just saw in my neighbour's backyard is a Really Big Dog and Not A Cow. O_O

Just the other day at the office:

"Anyone remember watching this TV show called Supergran?"
"......"
"Oh come on, it's got that Scottish old lady with superpowers? Has a spiffy bike? Anyone?"
*a few very cautiously raised hands*
"Oh good!"
"Pardon?"
"I'm not that old! Or even if I am, so are you lot!"
"... we hate you."

There you have it, what really goes in embassies! :D

(Here's an episode on good old YouTube:)



Rest of the episode here, here and here

In point form because I am lazy.

• 
  yeah i know it's juvenile humour but it made me smile today >.>
  
• 'Classic records lost in time and format, re-emerged as Pelican books. Just for fun.'
  
• Minagawa Osamu - Kuroneko no Tango <-- My boss was singing this the other day. MY BOSS. OMG SO WRONG.

• One of my PS2 memory cards just DIED. Spent - and still spending! - ages to replay some of those games. Much revisited fun over katamari-rolling, taking pictures of ghosts to exorcise them, skulking in the jungle eating snakes, and beating the crap out of THOSE FILTHY GODWIN DEVILS. Especially that last one.
  

Just spent ages watching Chii's Sweet Home eps. AAGH SO CUTE

Whee gameblog. Anyway for those who found the previous post rather nutty, here's how the whole game really starts off:

In a post-apocalyptic version of Tokyo sometime in the 21st century, survivors of a war known as the Great Destruction live in underground shelters awaiting the day when humanity can be rebuilt. These survivors, lead by a group known as the Seven Philosophers construct a massive tower which eventually became know as Shinjuku Babel. Others retreated elsewhere to underground shelters; you start off in the game near one such shelter.

Lately I keep reading 'nifty' as 'ninja' for some reason. @_@

I should go out and do some shopping (the fridge, it is EMPTY O_O) but I bet there's massive traffic because of Thaipusam. Oh well. Cheezels and milk = healthy meal yes yes yes ohohoho. >_>

edit: omg this track is so cool. o____o

Posted for jokersama's benefit:

Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine Online went to open beta some time ago, so yours truly decided to give it a try. Haven't seen much of the whole game yet since I just started playing uh, 2 days ago (and because I am a pathetic n00b and I suxx lolz). The controls are a bit awkward and it took me a while to get used to 'em, but after an hour or two I was running around.

The game system's like the old-skool Megaten games. You get to negotiate with demons; talk or threaten them into joining you or giving you stuff, and you need a good supply of magnetite to summon them. You can build up your relationship with your nakama by use of the 'Care' command; none of this hair-yanking bribing them with expensive crap bullshit.

When you start the game you can build your character around three kinds of builds; Meleer - close-range physical attacker; Mage - mid-range magic user; or Gunner - long-range physical attacker. (There seems to be a lot of Gunners around... hmm. Prolly 'cause at the earlier levels, it's easy to deal with some of the bigger demons if you're a Gunner?)

Lots of different skills to level; attack techniques, knowledge (gives your character passive skills) and special Chain Expertise skills. Like some other MMORPGS, you can basically tailor your character into a more specific build or a special hybrid as you level up.


O HAI
