Holidays! Two whole months!!! Not officially, it's supposed to start in two weeks... still yay!!
More importantly, I have my propedeuse diploma... it's the thing I absolutely need to potentially get into other colleges/universities in the first place, especially since I never graduated from HS. I'm glad I don't have to worry about that anymore. Hah, not bad at all for someone who screwed up four years of HS :> My weak points showed up a lot, but I pulled through in the end.
I'll be doing some work on relatively slow pace during the holidays... read books, write stories, make websites and more websites... Practice is good.
I realize I haven't talked about anime much recently... well, I am currently following Hetalia and Pandora Hearts. Also started on Haruhi 2, but I felt entirely unmotivated after the second episode. Perhaps later. Completed East of Eden, but it didn't do that much for me.
UDDUP is still awesome... although I don't read much manga, it's just perfectly balanced, which is so rare. Hmm, scanlations are up to 69, and it's quickly going up to 82. I like that.
it's close to midnight

I promised to do this, like... ages ago, but it never happened until now. It helps that this band is going to release 4 studio albums within a time period of one or two years. I have to get these out now, otherwise it will be too much to take in! :D New connection over fiberglass was installed recently and it's blingingly fast! I uploaded all of this within less than a half hour!
Okay the music is horrendously catchy and obviously part of why I love this band. I also not so secretly love Foreman's beautiful voice and his amazing lyrics.
Switchfoot
Known for their energetic live shows, the three guitarists in the line-up often operate simultaneously, building on the pop sensibilities of Foreman's songwriting, and, rounded out by Fontamillas's work on the synthesizer, bringing his industrial roots to the sound, the band works up "the Switchfoot sound" – a melodic crunch of densely layered sound featuring some electronic experimentation, and often driven by hard-charging guitar riffs, while throwing in a few softer, spacey ballads as well.

calm
Everyone has things they blog about. Everyone has things they don't blog about. Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me something I don't blog about, but you'd like to hear about, and I'll write a post about it. Ask for anything: latest movie watched, last book read, political leanings, thoughts on yaoi, favorite type of underwear, graphic techniques, etc. Repost in your own journal so that we can all learn more about each other.
- THAT again.

contemplative
Guess what? I am reconsidering the fanlisting biznis again.
Now that I've gotten more ~insight~ I figured I might as well return to where I started designing at all and... it's like a good sandbox to test on. This is not an excuse to get my hands on-
Anyway, I'm going to start completely from scratch - scripts and everything. Although the first fanlisting won't be new at all, a couple of months ago I was given the chance to re-adopt the Switchfoot fanlisting, but I was too down to actually do anything. Making work of this now. Need new fl collective name, new subdomain, two new layouts, etc. Before that happens I have to catch up on several things, so you may not see anything until the end of June.

Last night I was freaking excited, because there were two chapters out. The sudden amount of politeness astounds me.
The art has really changed since volume 1, for the better of course! I was thinking of doing a timeline of how the art has progressed.
This is probably one of the most awesome manga images I've ever seen. *__________________________*

Giving Windows 7 RC a test ride. Has been nice and quick so far. The official release is tomorrow, but it’s already out on the torrents…

numb
After that crazy shit of yesterday I still feel.. shock.
In other news, I managed to complete the listening of my entire music collection, which took me almost half a year to do. Now the time is to filter and delete out the unworthy stuff on my HD.
I should probably get my blog more active now that it's got a shiny new layout. Not self-made, but the look is fantastic. Added loads of plugins to get the most of it, however most of the content is outdated, except for that one review.
I still have no idea what to post there exactly, since it's completely public and chances are no one's reading that thing anyway. Design-related stuff is somewhat boring, so I scrapped that a long time ago and decided I'll just bring what I have to the table. What? X-post the interesting stuff from lj? Updates from the site itself?
What do I do about my current lurker status, which isn't actually helping anything in terms of 'getting out there'? I haven't really been posting on forums since a very long time... I (used to) mod in lesser known to huge forums... I guess I do miss those times, even though I do not actively seek out fame or anything. I guess I'll start with whatever I'm passionate about. :)
One more thing to do is adopt the Switchfoot fanlisting back. I'll most likely make a simple layout...
