Sluggy Freelance

I read webcomics. Used to read a whole bunch of 'em but dropped all of them at one point in the past. Now am only reading Sluggy Freelance. Quite interested in some that I read before but I really don't find it important for me to catch up and follow them all. This is the one I like most and I'm sticking with it even though it does have it's slow days or weeks. It's okay with me because I usually check it out once a week anyway. Prefer my comics in week sized doses rather than a single day shot ;)

Demam

Got meself a lovely gift together with the training program last weekend. A full blown athsma attack. I was planning to sleep early but ended up I coughed and gagged the whole night long. Did get a few minutes of sleep. Maybe an hour in total but it was very shallow sleep. A light doze where I'm aware of my breathing and level of phlegm in my chest. When it reaches critical point, i.e when I would start gasping and gagging again, I would wake up and cough up the phlegm into the large paper napkins I kidnapped from the kitchen.

Still have it right now but it's not as bad. Was worst the first night, Friday going into Saturday, and Monday night. Got a fever on Monday night.

On something completely unrelated, I seem to lose track of time a lot nowadays. I can't seem to remember what day it is most of the time. I can't recall very well what I did on which day too. But funny thing is my deadlines are all properly met even when I forget the days. Maybe my internal work-scheduler has a working clock and calendar. It's not sharing with other parts of my mind though...

New Blog

I've started a new blog. This would still be my personal blog, where I could rant and complain when I feel like it. The other one is my spiritual blog. Whatever that means to you. To me it means it's a blog related to my advancement in life.

Seeking the Truth of My Existence

Scrappy scrappy Doooo~

Well... I do love a good scrap whenever the time's right. I enjoy it really. The verbal kind not physical. Never noticed it before. But well, I just enjoy a clean scrap, where I disagree with someone sensible. That makes for a nice and useful debate. Too bad it's so rare to find anyone who could disagree and yet talk about it.

The thing is, I usually push for the person to acknowledge that my points are valid to me. Well, most never do, they just want me to see things their way. I acknowledge their points, telling them yes that's your point and then I present mine just showing how things are for me. When there's no effort to meet in the middle that makes it an argument rather than a discussion. I usually stop presenting my point halfway through in an argument. No point to be made so adios~

Maison Ikkoku!

Aha, there's going to be a drama series this year based on Maison Ikkoku. Am quite surprised because Maison Ikkoku aired in 1986-1988, the manga was 1980-1987. Almost 20 years before they decided it's good material for drama. (Note: major spoilers are in this wiki page. Don't read below "spoiler warning" if you want to watch this series and hate spoilers)

Don't really watch j-drama much but i'll make an exception this time. If it doesn't carry the series well... then I'll dump it and watch the anime again :D

Misaki Ito would play Otonashi Kyoko. She doesn't look much like Kyoko if you ask me but the way she carried her character in Densha Otoko does make her a good candidate.





Taiki Nakabayashi Plays Godai Yuhsaku. The only info I could find about this young chap is that he's born in 1985 and his blood type is A. Too new to have much info flying around on the net maybe.



Oh, I can't imagine who would play Yotsuya-san succesfully. He's so..... Yotsuya.

Other news about Ikkoku... I've been searching for it's discography set or at least an OST set but so far none are selling i Malaysia. I do have the full quality downloaded version but the sets would still mean a lot to me. Pictures and everything nice in there.

Well, here's to wondering how a 1987 series where quite a significant bit of the confusion was lack of communication due to wrong place, wrong time issue would be played back in 2007. There weren't any handphones back then and it was so sad/amusing/funny/sad to see Godai getting misunderstood again and again. Ah well, I'll just wait and watch

Anime

Today I'm going to about anime. I was introduced to this strange form of entertainment a few years ago. I forgot exactly when but it was around 2001 or 2002. The first one I actually watched was Love Hina and it cracked me up real good. Funny, silly and so seriously unreal.

I was watching some whenever I can coz my bro, the great supplier literally had boxes of CDs full of anime. When I had holidays all I did was watch anime and that was what actually got me off games. A steadily increasing addiction to anime. Some other ones I watched early in the days was Noir which I still love but never got to wathching it again and Slayers. Watched all the Slayers series but actually loved the first one, just Slayers, not next or whatever.

Ah, but the real topic of my post today. Maison Ikkoku. My bro pointed it out to me when I asked for a good one because I was running out of 12 - 24 episode animes to watch. He just said, "Heard it's quite good", or something along those lines. Well. It was good. It was extremely good. More so than I could ever explain here. All 96 episodes are full of anime goodness and I almost went days without sleep the first time I watched it through. I would sleep for about an hour or so and get up to continue watching. I think I finished all 96 episodes in just two weeks. It was crazy and I was crazy to do that but I just couldn't help myself. Now am watching it again for the fifth or sixth time.

Funny thing is I usually skip the oh-so-romantic-lovey-dovey series. This one is considered a love story and a pretty long one but it's just great. Ah well, maybe I'll write up some synopsis on it later. I just want to finish it now. Got up to episode 22 now. A bit more to go there....

Project Planner

Am going to compile that piece of software in this computer. Tried it out on my mom's laptop and me like it. Easier to try things I may want there first because I got ubuntu installed there and usually it's just a simple apt-get command away.

Anyway another computer related news. I assembled a computer and loaded kubuntu, which I warped to edubuntu, for my auntie. She seems to like it at first glance but time will tell how she takes it. The thing is unless you really want gaming windows isn't any better. A debian based distro like ubuntu also make it easy to install new things.

Well, enough mumbo jumbo for now.

Okay now about life. What is more important? Truth or right? In most cases they aren't the same.
