Got my Buddy back today. He's got a new powerful fan so temp on the graphics card in idle has dropped to about 28 C. The tech guy also did some tweaking, shifted the HD and said my PC is not being used to its full power because the motherboard is not good and drags it down. Looks like the guy who put my buddy together didn't do a very good job at it. Anyway, it loaded pretty quickly and seems to be working fine. That's a huge relief. Stay well, Buddy!

X-Men: First Class

The movie wasn't that great but I guess I just needed to practice writing long indulging critical posts.

Even after the epic failure that was the 3rd movie I decided to give it a go. Although I found the whole missile crisis plot kinda ridiculous it was a decent watch. But as with the trilogy it has little to do with the comics. I think Marvel did a very smart move turning their universe into multiverse. Even the comics have a lot of discrepancies. But the movies just ignored most of the events and character backgrounds and barely two weeks into the fandom I found it unsettling.

First of all the movie title is so misleading. I translated a couple of the First Class issues and let me tell you that it was whole different class. Charlies was just directing at that point and the only member that was there at the time was Hank who still looked perfectly human.

I had to lol at the young Charlie. Who knew genetics cold be such a good way to pick up chicks? Fun fact: Due to his powers, Charles lost all of his hair by the time he graduated from high school. Guess they reckoned it wouldn't look as impressive. And Poor Sebastian Shaw had nothing to do with the Nazi. Also I didn't like Mystique. I really loved her in the trilogy actually but here she's just an insecure teen girl and this whole little touching story of Charles/Mystique/Eric is pretty lame in my book. According to the canon she should have been about 80 by that time.

My shipping radar went off at all the Charles/Eric scenes. Then again that has to be one of the oldest ships ever. Slowly but surely I get pulled into the Marvel multiverse.

Oh, I forgot to write about Monday insight. Since we finished the book (thank god!) we do whatever the teachers come up with, so Abe-sensei decided to give us a brief introduction to Japanese phonetics. I almost wish she didn't because that was the day I found out I was pronouncing 'dog' and 'rain' incorrectly for the last 7 years.

Shou (Alice Nine) & Shin (ViViD) video comment for「MOSH」magazine

This is the most adorable and awkward thing I’ve seen this week. The part that got me was:

Shou: For the first time these two…

Shin: I’m happy. Thank you very much!

Shou: Thank you very much!

Shin : Since I like Shou-san very much.

Shou: I also like Shin very much.

Shin: Really?

*awkward half-hug*

Junon 2013.06 (Extended delusion)

This interview gave me too many ideas...

I First of all, there's the obvious...

Shou: Everyone’s character is so different so it’s interesting.

Hiroto: First of all, Shou is super S (laugh). Normally he’s quiet but when he’s playing a game or something you can see it in his eyes that he becomes an S.

Tora: There are times when he shows his S side but you can say he can’t help being a super-M.

I had to ask Akinojou to make sure I wasn't making this up but guess not. Like, really, Tora? Whatever gave you that idea? I mean even Shou himself said he's an S.


II But it gets better:

Shou: Tora is a Popular Magnum. (laugh)

Tora: Let’s drop the Magnum talk. (laugh)

Shou: Tora is popular and I think he’s the best man for a woman to go out with. Since in our band he’s the only person who’s not airheaded. He’s a bit like a bird of prey.

I don't even have anything to say about this. Shou, you...


III But it didn't end here.

Tora: A person with a gentle character is good. Also my type is a level-headed reliable woman but in reality I end up falling for people who are the complete opposite. (laugh)

As I was re-reading what Tora wrote I just suddenly wondered: "Sorry, but if his type is a level-headed woman then is the type he ends falling for air-headed men?" Ok, that was far-fetched, I know. Yet...


IV And finally today someone asked me about what Hiroto meant when he said Shou wants to be defeated by an SS. And as I was explaining it to her it stuck me:

Tora: Though I am kind of like an overbearing husband.

And when I read this before I was kind of surprised and didn't know what to make of it but today I was, like... O_O This suddenly makes more sense than it should.


Maybe it is my ability as a shipper to connect the dots in such a way that is doesn't interfere with my theory, even aids it. It's probably some kind of enhanced shipper-vision and it's so out of control.

I am currently working with Avengers Academy. All the teenage angst is kinda lame but that's not what I'm on about. There's this girl named Hazmat who basically just leaks radiation out of her body and the sad thing is I kind of feel I can relate to her.

Living with a chronic illness is a huge ordeal. None of us know when, or even if, we are going to get better. We could have to live with this for the rest of our lives. Facing that prospect is tough on its own, without living with the symptoms.

Many of us can’t hold together a job, or go to school, because we are ill. This takes away chances of a future and leaves us worrying about how our life is going to turn out. Those of us who can do these things often have to spend evenings and weekends resting, taking away the chances for social or leisure activities, leaving us isolated and lonely. This is one of the reasons why mental illnesses like depression are common amongst those of us with chronic illnesses.

But often we are told that we are ‘lazy’ or ‘not trying hard enough’, or even that we are ‘making it all up’ and we should ‘man up’. This is wrong. Just because you don’t go through what we go through, it doesn’t mean that you can ridicule us for it. We didn’t choose to live like this, constantly fatigued or exhausted, or in pain. Nobody would. If you were constantly suffering, you wouldn’t want people to make fun of it or tell you to pull yourself together, so why do it to us?

If you know someone living with a chronic/invisible illness, please make sure that you don’t look down on them for it.

Don’t get annoyed with them for cancelling plans with short notice, we can’t plan when we will have good days or bad days until they happen.

Don’t give them ideas on how to get better, like keeping busy, exercising or losing weight. You are not a doctor. Keeping busy and exercising often can cause ‘flare-ups’ making our symptoms worse, which is why we don’t do it. Although being overweight can increase the risk of certain illnesses, some people can’t do anything about it. To people that can’t exercise or take medication that has a side effect of weight gain, telling them to lose weight is an insult. Don’t do it.

Don’t force them into doing things. Even small things like showering or even getting out of bed are daily struggles for us. Don’t tell us that we can come round for coffee because it doesn’t take much energy. It might not for you, but it’s much different for us. If you want to see us, make sure you ask whether we are well enough on the day and make sure that we aren’t going to get exhausted with what you have planned.

Don’t ignore them. Stopping work or school or doing things with friends is guaranteed to make us feel isolated anyway. Stopping contact is not a good idea. We feel isolated not being able to see you in the flesh, but you could at least try to send us a text every once in a while to see how we’re doing. Don’t stop inviting us to things either. Yes, we may be ill, but if we’re on a good day, we might want to join in with things our friends are doing. As much as you shouldn’t assume that we can do things, you shouldn’t assume that we can‘t either.

This is so painfully accurate it almost made me cry. The girl who wrote this has CFS and she's probably the most mature-sounding 15 year old I've ever seen.

One of the worst feelings for me is when I get a present that I know a person spent their time and money and tried hard to please me but I just don't like it at all. It's so frustrating like ughhhh. I got two presents like that this year. They were similar to the things I wanted but not those things so now I'm stuck with 2 things I don't want but it would be awkward to buy similar things that I actually want and people who gave the present would get upset. I know I'm a difficult person but I can't help it. That is why I hate birthdays.

Also Mum gave me some money to buy the stuff I want but I only want to order stuff online and I can't do that because I don't have an eligible card. Also I haven't received my salary from either job yet. I'm hopelessly poor... Mada mada mada....

J-Melo. Fucking finally

Somehow the J-Melo that I was waiting for for 1,5 months was disappointing. I'm not even sure why. Maybe it's because I just upped the value like it was with the Super VK Battle or maybe I was bitter because I wasn't a part of Affection project. And then there was all the Shou/Hiroto fanservice and none of ToraxShou. Either way lately there have been too many of disappointing things. And disappointment is always your own fault, the cost of clinging to something too much.

In other news, lately Hiroto looks like a 10-year old girl. Like, seriously, wtf is happening?


Perhaps best part of the shouw... Sorry, honey, but I do love your legs better than your voice.

Marvelous Job

So it's been a week since I got a new job. The essay writing for rich lazy kids got old pretty fast proving to be pretty tiring and severely underpaid. Not to mention the school season ended so the chance of getting a good task is even smaller.




Anyway, I saw a new opportunity and I grabbed it so now I'm here translating the comics form none other than Marvel. It's a job one can be proud of and I'm trying to do the most of it. I'm very slow like I always have been doing about one issue per day but that just shows my great dedication.

I reckoned it would only make sense to pick one series and work on it. Which is why I'm working with X-Men. The order is very chaotic though and the 4 issues I worked on have all been from completely different series, released in 1990's and 2000's but chronologically decades apart.

I have never been a big fan of American comic book but I quite like the superpowers and all, so it's interesting enough. The Marvel universe is huge though and I have a really hard time trying to figure out what's what. I tried watching the movies though but I think it did more harm than good because the movie plot are all over the place and have little in common with the comic storyline apart from the setting itself. The first two movies were pretty good though. But the 3rd totally ruined it for me. Such a waste of resources.

The project is just in the early stages of development so it's pretty complicated. My boss most really be having a hard time but she's really nice. So far it's only confirmed until the end of June so I want to work hard until then. All of my other projects will be going more slowly but I think I can manage my time well enough. Anyway, sometimes I feel very stressed but I hope it gets better and all in all it feels really good knowing I'm really doing what I'm good at and getting paid for it.

А вот еще кое-что. Решила зайти к моим молодым кохаям-соседям и посмотреть произошло ли оплодотворение. Оно призошло и эта парочка ведёт себя как обычно. Едва я успела переговорить с Шином, Рено утащил его в спальню. Ни стыда, ни совести.

[K] Don’t you ever fight with your lover?
[Tora] Rather than fighting, we’d be discussing our problems. Thoroughly. It would be the kind of discussion where we would listen to each other, where we could say how far we would forgive each other, how far we could accept what each other said. [ORICON PSP1800 vol. 022]

I almost dislike reading Tora interviews. I mean it's the same thing I had with Yoochun. When he talks about relationships it makes me want to cry because it hit home so bad.

In other news I kinda overdid it with the cut again. I don't regret it since the summer is in full swing even though it's fucking May. But yeah, I ended up looking like a dyke yet again.
