You know you've worked at Subway long enough when everytime someone says a word that starts with "to", you'll automatically decipher it as "tomatoes". Same goes with one-syllable word, followed with an "and" and a two-syllable word -- I'll automatically think "salt and pepper".

I've been watching .hack//SIGN~~ I've seen up to ep. 12, and it's nothing short of excellence, visually at least. It's got some of the prettiest backgrounds I've ever seen in an animated series, not to mention really inspirational shots and stuff. I mean, seriously, watching it gives me various awesome ideas for artwork. I think it's where I'm gonna turn to when I'm at loss of inspiration~ I also love the character designs (Yoshiyuki Sadamoto = kewlness), and the animation is really well done. I love the songs too =3 Oya... I also really dig that cat.

Yay, finished watching all 26 .hack//SIGN episodes X3~! I really like it~~~ As I mentioned before, the design, animation, backgrounds, and art in general are very nearly flawless. I admit the ending seemed a bit rushed at first, but it made a lot of sense, since .hack//SIGN sets up the story for .hack//INFECTION and .hack//LIMINALITY, both of which occur after .hack//SIGN. I still like Maho very much =3

When someone tells you that wheatgrass tastes like puke, you better believe him.

Gaaaaaaaahhh I'm so tired =_=; I worked my butt off today revamping the site. It really is in deep need of one~~ I restructured and reorganized it from bottom up. It wasn't easy -- especially since when I first started, it was such a small site I didn't even bother to put files into directories and such. It was a gigantic (50 MB) mess :P Now everything's a lot more civilized, but none of it's really online yet. I've also got a new layout to go with the restructurization (gosh does the site need one O_O; This layout's been around for... ages..), and I'm going to transfer the whole site to a new host as well... which means some guestbook, counter, and weblog reinstalling. Wow, loads of new things at once XD; There are many many ways in which any of those plans can go wrong, but let's just cross our fingers. The change and revamp should be effective in the next couple of days, so look forward to it~

Hrm... so I finished moving, revamping and updating all the stuff in the site~ Now just waiting for the domain to be transferred. If that goes well, then it'll be a really smooth transition for such a huge change. I moved and reinstalled my counter script (dud one O_O; Must get a better script), and my guestbook. They should look familiar, since I changed nearly nothing. As for this blog.. well... I'm now utilizing the amazing powers of MovableType =3 It's really awesome~ It can do so much more than you can ever imagine (blogs are really just 10% of all its capabilities), plus it's very easy to install and use. I couldn't believe just how easily I could import my 2 year's worth of Blogger entries over. It looks good, too :D Excellence. No more screwy Blogger servers for me X3;

I'm hooked to .hack//SIGN OST~ Especially the ending song. The opening one is really neat too, but the ending is really addictive. One I can't spend even 24 hours without nowadays, heh.

Hrm... the DNS changeover for the domain name isn't 100% complete yet -- apparently some people still see the old site, and yet others see parts of the old site within the new one -- which leads to a lot of broken links for some people, yet none at all to others. This, I've been told, is normal~~ I hope it's over soon though; wouldn't want people looking at the 404 error page more than is necessary ^^;

I went to Crown Entertainment Complex in Southbank, Melbourne today, and I found that the arcade has SOUL CALIBUR II. For those of you who aren't in the know, my lovely city of Melbourne here is a bit uh, SCII-deprived. I know the game's been out in the US for a while now, but Melbourne's a bit slow on new games, and SC wasn't that popular in here I think. But anyway... it wasn't on a big screen or anything like that, it was just in two modest everyday arcade consoles, put on a quiet corner. When I saw them, I couldn't believe my eyes~ I tried to convince myself at first that it was SC, instead of SCII, but nooooo, it WAS SCII. My head was spinning from the excitement. I spent probably AU$20 on that game. It's such an EXCELLENCE. Nothing else fits it better. The graphic is breathtaking, the characters awesome, and the game system is better than ever. I was... just... speechless. Even now, I don't know what to type ^^; Exhilaration, excitement, etc. mixed together here XD;

On a random note, I currently want: Phantasy Star Online 1&2 Design & Material Collection, Kingdom Hearts Visual Art Collection, aaaand many many Genso Suikoden artbooks.

I finally got enough gold to buy my Gaia avatar an Emerald Forehead Jewel! Darn, that minuscule thing is expensive (2000 gold! @_@), and since I don't post at the forum, it took me quite a while to collect the gold from posting art. At long last :D I know it sounds stupid, but I have this... perfectionist tendency, sorta :P It says that if my avatar looked anything like Apsylus, it's also got to have a green gem stuck onto its forehead. Ha.

Aaargh I got a programming project that's totally impossible to do from home due to the UBER-LAG on the SSH connection ><; Guh..
