TGIF! (August 18)....

It's the usual slow Friday here, but things have picked up a bit since school is back in session. Hopefully the new storage system -- used to be FTP and shell access (ssh), now it's changed to this "MyDrive" thing accessable through SFTP, WebDAV, and a web interface -- we've moved to in the past week won't cause too many issues (^^;;)

Day didn't get started too well for me here -- got here later than usual, then had to wait a while to get on a bus since three (three!) Orbit buses came by full, and I mean full, packed, no more room for even one more person, so I ended up missing Korean class ＿|￣|○ Classes yesterday went fine. Asian Culture sounds like it'll be interesting, and East Asian Cinema should be the same. Only catch with the cinema class is that the films aren't shown during class hours, they're shown Monday nights from 6:30-9:00pm at the library. So, either I rent them and watch them by myself, or stay at school all day long on Mondays. Can't drop the class since there aren't any other classes I could take that would go towards my major... oh well.... one of the things we'll be doing in that cinema class is a group project about a certain genre of film. Detective, big monster (like Godzilla), so on. And animation is one of the topics that she listed, so I'd BETTER be in the group that does that -- could finally give my lecture on the central themes of mahou shoujo... probably not ;) I'm hoping I don't get in a group that does anything too weird.....

Anyways, some random stuff for now.

Pretty much the same content, but now in fancy flash for the second season.

Utawarerumono Radio
I'd read on the blogs that it was pretty funny (and popular enough to bring down Onsen's servers) since Ryouka Yuzuki (Eruru) was pretty crazy during it... and that she is, she's completely out of control -- calling guests "nuisances" and generally being mean to them, messing around with co-host Rikiya Koyama (Hakuoro), so on. During last week's broadcast (number 6), while Daisuke Kirii (Oboro) was on:

(after Riki-chan brings out a paper Hakuoro mask and puts it on. There's a photo of him wearing it on the page now)
Yuzu-chan: "Moeeeeeeeeee! Choumoeeeeeeeee! It's Hakuoro-san's mask.. it's so cool... haaa... it makes my heart race.... Look at me, Look at me.. look at me! [lots of heavy "haahaa" breathing] Ha, Hakuoro-san! Hakuro-san! Haa, haa, haaaaaaaaaaa!"
Kirii: "...okay for me to leave now?"

....no comment (^^;;) If I had that clip I'd put it here for y'all to listen to, but this laptop doesn't seem to be able to record the audio output like my old one... Anyways, if you want to listen to this week's episode, go to Onsen's site (it's one of the Friday programs). No annoying guests this time, so Yuzu-chan was quite excited to be alone with Hakuoro-san (^^;;)
