Journey into Mystery

OH, FOR THE LOVE OF...

THAT CLIFFHANGER.

...There's more I'd want to talk about, especially about the Xing-tachi, but the cliffhanger and the scene before it sort of. Washed it away. hshjsf why you do that.

( FMA 98 spoilers )

I also did that eneagram quiz last night and got Type 4. I'm just too lazy to retake it to get the html.

And apparently LJ's location detector believes I'm in Asturias. Um, a bit more to the west?

DUDE. NO WAY. I went to Santa Cruz, the town nearby, because my mom insisted I should go to one of those tanning booths. I fucking hate them, but I digress. In the way, I stumbled into this shop, which has the most epic name a shop of their profession can have.



BUTCHER SHOP CURTIS

I kid you not!

I. I don't even know. This is the most bizarre and awesome coincidence ever!

And for the record no, the person attending the store was just a normal old man. If it had been a large, muscular guy with a beard, or a woman with dreadlocks, I would've died of LOL. And ask for a picture.

ETA: OMG the picture is so epic it summoned chapter 97 into existence! ♥ *downloads*

Wow, it's been a while since I last updated. BUT I HAVE JUST THE THING TO SQUEE ABOUT. IN CAPSLOCK.



FUCK YEAH XING EMPIRE!

LING YAO ♥♥ AND MEI CHAN ♥ AND FU ♥ AND LAN FAN ♥ AND LMAO LING IS VOICED BY MAMORU MIYANO?! AHAHAHAHAHA! (geez, BONES, your boner for Miyano is showing again) Oh well, no matter how rushed and bad this might get, at least I know anime!Ling will make me laugh. This is v.v. important to me, guys.

pfffft Mamoru Miyano brb lol'ing 4evah Sha, now you're compelled to watch FMA?

( Music meme, taken from lots of people )

Good things happening these days:
- New FMA chapter was so shiny~~~ ( Two-line spoilers )
- Vacations! I'm done with my exam and I'm confident I passed.
- crucetemporal, a Spanish multifandom dressing room. I haven't been able to hang out much, but I've got some cool ongoing threads right now.
- For my RP, I coded a little something in Javascript. It's a randomizer (well, pseudorandom) that simulates rolling dice and flipping coins. There's also one "eeny meeny miney mo" option where you give it a list of items, and the thing returns one or more random ones. I'm plugging it just in case someone may want to use it for something, even if the interface is not in English (dado = die, moneda = coin). The last thing could be useful for memes!

Bad things happening these days:
- My brother has a recovery math exam, meaning I'll have to stay here a week tutoring. UUUUUUGH. I had plans to retake Persona 4 this weekend! Now my whole June plans are ruined.

And a question?
Oh, by the way, those who own an XBOX 360. I'm planning to buy a model with internal memory of 512MB. If I don't play online, will that miserable amount be enough for three or four games? Besides buying an expensive Microsoft hard drive which I can't afford, are there more ways to store saving data? What about pendrives? Or normal USB hard drives? I can't download arcade stuff and save them on those, right?

ETA:
HONESTY MEME

Agsadfghsfh. In three days I've managed to get to the part I was in Persona 4, when I played the NTSC burned version. Maybe it's the fact I paid to own that game what made me so determined. I still suck enormously, of course, and Shadow Kanji beat the crap out of me. My main issue in dungeons is how I run out of SP so fast and the items to replenish are hard to get or made of fail -there must be something other than TaP cans. Fuck you, kitsune, with that price you could fill up my HP as well.

My head hurts, so... I'll take a break with that. I should play a Tales tomorrow instead, to relax.

kirarakim tagged me a while ago for these memes.

( Character thing: Tamaki Suoh )

( The other meme: I was given these fandoms. See tags for it )

I liked the first episode of FMA redux. Not perfect for an intro, true, but I had more fun watching it than I expected.

The opening sequence is gorgeous, I tell you. And yay for Hohenheim in it!

In other news, anon has enlightened me and I have now discovered I've spent a year roleplaying and developing a "pretty" character with "no personality" all based on my own imagination. Or something.

I'm not saying the characters in Apollo Justice aren't underdeveloped compared to the Phoenix Wright ones, and that their potential wasn't exploited enough in their own game, because they are. But to say there's absolutely nothing in any of them... I get a bit tired of these elitists pissing on them all the time because it's not Phoenix-Maya-Edgeworth. I find the main cast of AJ more likable and adorable than PW's, true, and that makes me this enormous weirdo. But even if I didn't, I'd still see the personality they have. It's not that loud because the game never emphasized in it, but it's there if you open your eyes.

Or maybe I was hallucinating while I played it, since I'm pretty sure my favorite character is Klavier because of his canon personality (that apparently is only in my head!!) Go figure: at the beginning I thought the pretty Gavin was Kristoph and I ended up not liking him nor trying to come up with traits. And I find Klavier attractive later on because of his dorkiness and honesty. I don't fangirl out of shallowness. I... just don't understand these wankers.

Guess who was finally able to reinstall Photoshop! ♥ The first thing I did was to fix my layout header which had been done with Gimp (which I barely understand) and looked like crap. The second was to make some icons to practice and remember how to use it. The bad news is that my copy is in Spanish and I'm not used to translated terms.

Anyway, GIP. If you get this icon, you're pretty cool by default ♣

I'm also almost done with that rants meme I hadn't finished. Here are the links:
→ Character: Touya Kinomoto
→ Theory: Before 1999, Kotobuki and Erii leave Earth, take their friends with them, and all four of them have adventures IN SPACE and away from Kamui and all those angsty crazies
→ Character: Tamaki Suoh
→ Pairing: Ling Yao/Lan Fan
&rarr: Opinion: Pongamos que acaba el manga de FMA, y Greed sigue dentro de Ling. (It's in Spanish; she asked me about my thoughts on Greed still being within Ling by the end of the manga, and tl;dr I said it's going to depend on how it's executed, but I do hope that subplot gets a resolution.)
→ Opinion: TRC: the good crack or the bad crack?

And now a similar meme.

Association Meme: Comment to this post and I will give you 5 subjects/things I associate you with. Then post this in your LJ and elaborate on the subjects given.

( kirarakim's picks: Okami, Xing, CLAMP, Terry Pratchett, Howl/Sophie )

1. I see FMA is still nightmare fuel. I approve, in a "sjhgfsg! DX" kind of way. I see Hohenheim sort of ships my OTP. I approve, in a "squee! ♥" kind of way. ILU Hoho, you pretty old man.

2. Everything has been said about Avatar's whiter-than-dry-cleaners casting news, so I'm not going to rant about it or comment on posts. Just mention I find it more depressing than rage-worthy. I think I'll just ignore the existence of this movie and people defending this disaster; I could've thought about watching it for the lulz before, but it wouldn't be funny anymore. I'm sticking with the cartoon, okay?

3. People who think Windows is the beginning and the end of operative systems, and find Linux/MacOS to be teh dev0l are ignorant, yes. But to be fair, I think Linux cultists who put Microsoft in the pedestal of evil, and are convinced that other people must see the light and convert to open source, are just as much of an idiot. Can't we just use the OS we want (or all of them, even!) and leave others to pick the fuck they want? It's software, not a religion!*

4. Do you guys know any good stock icon maker who won't f-lock their icons in a "members only" comm? I want to hunt for some for my Inksome account, which I haven't used because of my lack of userpicks. I prefer animals over random objects, if you need to know, but either are fine.



* Same thing could be said about console wars, ship wars, et cetera.

Viva la revolución! Chapter 89 of FMA, early! ♥

I love how this woman draws action scenes. That's a lot of military this week. HOLY CAMEOS AND RETURNS OF AWESOME, BATMAN! (this... doesn't count as spoiler, I think? should I cut it?)

Anyway. Hope there's a translation or a summary when I get back home tonight~
