Crap, it's hot as fuck, I'm bored as hell and I don't have the strength to even raise a finger. I've been all day like this. I don't feel like watching anime, sleep, fuck, eat or move. All I can do is listen to music and sing occasionally (j-pop obviously

) while I browse some forums. Yes, I know, I'm useless. If someone wants ta have a little talk about how's life or simply how many times did you shit last week I'll be at my msn (sakura.hiyama@gmail.com, it's on my profile). If I don't answer it's because I fainted of uselessness or I fell asleep

40ºC??? OMG, where do you live? Here it's only 25ºC but there's 0 wind and the weather is quite humid so it feels like more. I remember we had some days on past summers (not this one yet...) with 40ºC. I couldn't even think. All I did was lying on bed... I can't bear high temps, I like the cold more

. For me, the heat takes away my will to do anything... I prefer dying of cold under 5 blankets in bed than to be sweating like a pig (actually pigs don't sweat) and not being able to do anything... cold gives you a reason to move, on the other side hot gives you a reason to die =/

Great. I just learned that my parent's internet connection runs on a minimum contract runtime. I wanted to order a faster connection for their house and now I can't.

That's common unless you're customer of Alice or congStar

Its almost minus temperatures here. Bastards.

And every train station I've been through has shown signs of it having hailed, but I've not seen it actually hail anywhere.

Trains home were HORRIBLE. That'll teach me to travel on a bank holiday.

Yeah, though I wonder... our contract was made in April '07 and the contract runtime is usually about 24 months, so I should be able to make changes...

This is so pathetic. TSMAA did Kanokon ova1 BD subbing as hard-subs inside .avi container. AnimeKyun ripped TSMAA hard-subs to soft-subs and encoded it inside .h26 container. AWESOME WORK!!! Thank you AnimeKyun for providing us soft-subs.

But, Animekyun had problems with subtitle timing. see this and this and this and this picture.

So what is pathetic? Actually, the thing is that Kanokon OVA's aren't so remarkable shows. And despite that I decided to re-do whole things from hard subs with correct subs timing during my x-mas holidays. And I even re-encoded the vid to mp4 x264 720p. But the worst part is that I subbed it to FIN language :|

So can you go lower than that???

Happy holidays :|

Haha, sun? What is that? Some kind of mythological bird or something?

Yeah, weather here was pretty shitty - at least about a week before Christmas we had nice, -13ºC to -20ºC temperatures and shitload of snow, but since then it's all melted and everything is covered in mud. And i didn't see sun in weeks - though that may have to do with my lifestyle recently $:-\$

Perhaps your provider made automatically a new contract with a 24 months minimum. If you/your parents don't say anything by the end of the contract that happens a lot.

How big is it? Post pics?

I only have a "26 widescreen, but I am completely satisfied. Last TV I had was a "13 so no complaints from me.

only thing I would like is to have it hanged up so I can use the table it's standing on to eat on.

Yeah, they last long. All in all, I think that electronic devices from sometime around 20 years ago last longer than the new stuff being produced these days. Though our old CRT TVs started to die slowly this year. Now we have only one left, and if that one breaks down, well... no more CRT goodness.

Not that I care much about TVs. I don't even own one, or to be precise, I don't have a TV standing in my student apartment. TV sucks too much these days, nothing's worth watching it, except a few stations...

mizore · « **Reply #11298 on:** December 30, 2009, 05:00:04 AM »

I wanted one for movies, anime, etc. With the exception of a few sci-fi shows, I don't watch TV series. Most series are a mind-numbing waste of time.

But, yeah, it's a 42" LCD. <3 <3 It will remain connected to my computer considering most of my media is digitally stored.
