I still remember old PE classes where you had to do 20 push-ups every time you did something with a ball that it was not designed for, e.g. take a soccer ball in your hands or kick a volley ball...

So... I just nuked some pulled pork but left it in the microwave way too long. Was edible but kind of like jerky. Just a heads up, ya know.

I'm watching The World God Only Knows, I'm on episode 07. I took the 'B' choice on this one, I almost always take the top-choice rip but didn't think I'd enjoy this one that much. It's actually been great so far but I haven't really found any of the girls that cute, Elsie is definitely *cute* but not to my tastes. Otherwise, I'd probably go DL the 1080p rip... Anyway, it's a top-notch show so far, very entertaining; was easy to watch and never got bored at all.

Oh hai, looks like this should be post #203; that's about 120 in 48 hours I believe. I must be coloring these boards with my elegance and charm so feel free to praise me. Hmm, I'll have to pull out more anime references in the future, obscure ones, obvious ones, obnoxious ones....

Too late, i left a sausage in the microwave for only 2 minutes, it felt and tasted like a rock with a hint of charcoal, i think i threw it away after only eating half of it.

don't even own a microwave  I'm still burning my food on a gas stove (although I bough a small electival oven for frozen pizza and bread)

Hmm... election this Sunday. Unless I got a major hangover, I guess I will go troll politicians by voting for Pirate Party or something 

[lololitas]

According to the wahl-o-mat (an application that takes into account the programs of each party and then determines which party follows your interests the most) I'm supposed to vote for the FDP (85% the same interests) and pirates are second with 60%... Hmm... it seems I hate those stupid middle-class people that want to tax the high-earning people more than they are already taxed (which is 49% without social expenditures). I might note that if I wasn't a student right now I'd already have to pay around 35%...

The bigger problem is I already sent the sealed election letter from hungary, but I forgot who I ended up voting for 

[Saras]

I was very left when I was in the lower half of my teen years, however, I've been going further right with each passing year. Minus the religion aspect, fuck that.

Getting the new X1 Platform cable TV instead today from Comcast.

[Tiffanys]

If you're worried about MAL disappearing just save your list for offline viewing and then go and export your list from MAL. Some other lists can import your MAL list so if MAL goes to shit you can always import your list and if lists are lost you could always import it back as well. And you still have the graphical list just so you can see your stuff in a nice manner during downtime.

[LillyTown]

I have no feelings in regards to politics, I'd prefer things stay as they are as I'm happy right now and aware things could change for the worse just as easily as the opposite. Religion has no place in my life.... Nanoha flash-steps through the heavens and starlight breakers celestial beings into cosmic dust.

Haven't heard of the X1 Platform but checkin' it out now.

I've been up over 24 hours now, my eyes hurt but I think some coffee will help.

Chapter 49 of Shingeki no Kyojin is damn good.

Which volume? I got my ninth volume few weeks ago. I've held off on reading volume 8 since both 8 and 9 are linked together.

[Gh0st93]

Has anyone here read Gokukoku no Brynhildr? It is from the creator of Elfen Lied, And from what I've read it isn't bad.

[Tanis]

I spent about a hour updating my MAL profile, then copying the information into an excel file.

Read a +50 chapters of Terra Formars, great manga. Can't wait for more.

What I learnt today: Never trust Google maps to give you accurate directions in London. It's always been great in Cardiff, but when I was in London today the tube station it insisted was nearest my destination was in reality a 50 minute walk away. It would actually have even been quicker for me to just walk directly there from Paddington station, and would have only taken about 10 minutes if I'd got the Bakerloo line to the station that was actually closest, instead of the (utterly horrible) circle line to somewhere totally different. ¬_¬

So, yeah. Google maps sucks. Lesson learnt the hard way there.

[Tatsujin]

I bought all 5 manga books of Usagi Drop, got them before yesterday and showed them to my sister yesterday. She knocks on my door about twenty minutes ago telling me she read all 5 books and wants the rest, demanding it! Hmph. I'll buy them later. I'm on tsundere-blonde quest! I need to sleep before I go to my night shift, ... well ... this is out of question now. Bahaaahh!!

Yeah, I've always used the country's own services. Google really tries to be everything, but they haven't gotten there yet.

Yeah, I actually did end up using Transport for London's own route finder to get to Gloucester Rd, since the route Google gave me was very obviously retarded. But I foolishly did so working on the assumption that Gloucester Rd was actually the right station =/ If I'd just put "Japanese Embassy" instead, it would have given me a far better route.
