   I'm Back!

I'm sorry for the absence. I don't know if you all remember. I was expecting a game to be delivered at the time of my last post. Battle for Middle Earth 2 it was. Well I finally got it! YAY! That game is REALLY addictive! O_O Well that's what I was doing all this time. Although I can't say updating my site wasn't on my mind. Now that I'm writing this, I feel much better. So, I'm basically letting you all know I'm still alive. If I can remember correctly, I asked everyone what song I should change my background music to from Advent Children. It looks like most people don't know the name of the songs in there. However, I got requests to put on Chocobo Music. Soooo... I think I'll put that on instead. ^_^ Anyway... I just got to watch the third Lord of the Rings film with Mum and CuteKilala last night. We were enjoying it. Although they don't want to watch the whole film at once so we have to watch it in parts. Because of it's length. CRAP! >_< Well we are going to watch the rest today. I'm really glad I got to watch the extended versions of the films. I really recommend watching them. They cut out some really funny bits! Really cool parts too... Like Saruman's death or The City of the Dead collapsing. I'll make a few clips for the next post! ^_^ Oh! We had snow in my area recently. It was great! Usually in Scotland, we can only hope for 1 or 2 inches of snow. But we got 8 inches in my area! YAY! Me and Mum went out at 2am to walk in it before it got ruined. It was BEAUTIFUL! The snow also brightened up the field nearby. It's usually in pitch black darkness at night. But the snow made it all visible. I could see the whole field clearly! Strange how snow can do that, huh? Mum said she also saw a few foxes wandering in the snow. I wish I'd seen them. Well, I'll go visit everyone who updated today. Yet again, I'm very sorry for the absence. Hope you all like the Chocobo music (FFX). ^_^

   Thanks For The Help!

First off, I'd like to thank everyone for the PMs. It seems ALMOST everyone's got through. ElvesAteMyRamen's PM never got through. There might be other people's that never got through, I'll have to check. I managed to figure out that the main problem with the PMs are in whatever runs the replies. That's where it seems to mess up most of the time. Or it could be because the MyOtaku are mixed up with the PM system, resulting in us all getting old PMs instead of new ones. But then I heard someone say that even if I told Adam, nothing will be done. I hope it does get fixed eventually... This update for MyOtaku sucks... Anyway, on with the normal post. I still haven't been doing that much. Just a bunch of downloading. I downloaded the "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Extended Edition)" since I only had the regular one on DVD. Now I'm downloading the second one. I heard that in the Extended Edition of "The Two Towers", the Ents help out at Helm's Deep. I have to see that. ^_^ I'm also waiting for BFME II to arrive in the post. I'm not going to have it until Tuesday... -_-' Well me, CuteKilala and Mum are going to watch "Lost" today. I can't wait! After what happened in the last episode I watched, who can blame me? ^_^ I have been wondering about something. Does anyone hink I should change the music on my site, for a change? I was going to pick a song from the FF7: Advent Children Soundtrack. Which one should I use? Or should the music stay the way it is? Sorry I don't have much else to say... I was going to post this video my Mum wanted you all to see. I told her I couldn't because it's copyright material, owned by the famous Simon Cowell. It was a music video of Chico, one of his new acts from X Factor. Oh well... Just a quick screenshot of Get Backers then?

A Chance Post...

I'm not sure if I'll get time to visit everyone today but I have something important to say before going to sleep. It's 6:48am right now. So I've been up all night. It appears I am still having problems with with my PM box. Still, not very many messages make it to me. So if you are wondering why I don't reply, that's why. The only message I received yesterday and managed to read, was Attic's PM. I think LordSesshomaru sent me a message, but it's only highlighting an old message. So I didn't get to see what the PM was about. I need your help everyone. I deleted EVERY LAST ONE of my PMs in my inbox to try and fix it. I need anyone who has time to send me a PM. It can be about anything at all. Even a "Hello" would be fine. I need to see how many make it through. I would reply to any that make it through. Even though I deleted all the PMs, for some reason, the computer says I still have over 70 PMs in the inbox. But there's nothing there! I love talking to people on PMs, I hate the fact that I've been unable to reply... Please... I would appreciate it. Anyway, if you must know how my day went yesterday, it was good. I watched Stargate with CuteKilala. We had a few laughs there. ^_^ We also watched a LOT of episodes of season 1 of "Fraiser". Very funny show. ^_^ I'm trying to download a lot of anime art-books from the internet. Not much luck though. Hey! If you are a LOTR fan, here's a nice wallpaper of Rivendell I found on the BFME2 site. ^_^ Well anyway, I'm off to bed. I REALLY hope to God that I'll be allowed to visit everyone today.

Hey everyone. Now for another late update. I kept sleeping in so I was trying to fix it. After all, my rule is if I don't update by 5pm (my time), then I won't update at all. Well I just watched "Spirited Away" and I have to say I loved it! Thank God CuteKilala made the right choice. I was worried as you saw in my last post. It was much better than I thought it would be. (I didn't even know what to think) We even watched it with Mum and she laughed out loud at the part where she ran down the steep stairs and hit a wall. I found that funny too. LOL! ^_^ Since Hayao Miyazaki did such a great job in that film, I decided to watch out for some other films. So I came across "Princess Mononoke". It's said to be the most successful anime ever produced at it's time (Except for America and Canada). I watched that and enjoyed that too. It's basically about this boy who got cursed by a demon boar after killing it. So he leaves his village to find a cure for the curse that threatens his life. It created a mark on his arm that made him stronger too. He's to ask the Forest Spirit to lift the curse. But then he get caught up in a war between animals and humans. Humans were destroying the forest to make way for expansion and the animals fight back. I don't think there's an actual Princess in it like me and CuteKilala thought anyway. (By the way, it's based in the Feudal Era) Well I really liked that film too! Lot's of action was in it. I'm surprised Disney translated it with all the violence! O_O Still, I recommend watching that too if you haven't already have. ^_^ I'll make some screenshots at some point but I'm in a hurry right now. Okay, maybe I'll just make one. ^_^ That's the main character of "Princess Mononoke". His name is "Ashitaka" and he rides a red elk instead of a horse! O_O I better get going now.

I've Been HACKED!!!

There are serious problems going on with my account. For example, I had 13 comments in yesterday's post, before I went to sleep last night. Now, it seems I'm down to 7! (Don't worry, I read them before going to sleep) Could it be a hacker!? If you are out there you lowlife, I changed my password, so don't you DARE try that again!!! Not only that, there seems to be problems with my Inbox too. Whenever someone sends me a PM, an old message is highlighted and I don't get the new one. My account is so screwed up. No wonder I haven't received PMs for a while! So if you sent me one and never got a reply, that's why. It's been going on for almost a month, I think... Let's just get on with the post, huh? Well, I've went to Glasgow yesterday, as I said I would. Strangely enough, I found out what it's like for anyone who is fasting. Someone who goes through fasting, doesn't eat solid food for a period a time. Well for the two days before and yesterday, I never ate any solid foods. I just wasn't hungry. It never hit me until until I ran up and down steep hills for a couple of miles to the train station. By the time I got there, I felt really weak! My stomach felt like it had built up wind, and my legs were weak. They still are. The fact I ate pizza while I was out, apparently made things worse for me when I woke up this morning. Because it's a "Heavy Food", I'm not suppose to eat that as soon as I start eating again... Well right now, I'm sitting here, with a hot water bottle in the shape of a penguin. I feel alright at the moment. We did manage to buy more anime in Glasgow. YAY! We got volumes 5 & 6 of Get Backers, volume 6 of Chrono Crusade and CuteKilala got "Spirited Away". Strangely enough, we don't normally buy anime until we have seen it on the computer and liked it. I hope she made a good choice... CuteKilala was also nice enough to help me buy volume 2 of the Full Metal Alchemist manga! She's a lot nicer to me than I thought! ^_^ I learned that in the manga, it was SCAR that killed Tucker and not the Military with a firing squad. O_O I see a lot of people think "The Emperor's New Groove" is the funniest Disney movie EVER! I can't help but agree. lol. ^_^ I was asked if I had played MGS2. (The question disappeared with the other 6 comments... >_<) Yep. I did. I also completed it. I just wish I was able to play the one with Snake as the playable character. Still a great game though. I'll go visit everyone now. I'll also keep an eye on the comments to make sure I'm not still getting hacked.

   Finally Updated

Not too much is going on. As usual... Well I'll be going to Glasgow today. Hopefully, CuteKilala will help me buy some Get Backers DVDs. I'm only going to have £20 to spend. However, CuteKilala will have over £100!!! I'll tell you, she's amazing at hanging on to money! (She doesn't like shopping that much, so she doesn't get to spend her money. lol.) Anyway. That's what I'll be doing today. So I'll get to visiting everyone when I get back. But before I go, I've got more to say about yesterday. Me, CuteKilala and Mum were watching "The Emperor's New Groove" together. I forgot how funny it was. lol. Well Mum was the only one in the room who hadn't seen it. She seemed to really enjoy it. ^_^ Also, CuteKilala was watching me play Metal Gear Solid 3. I think she likes it so far. It's just unfortunate that a character like "EVA" is in the game. *shudders* She's still to appear yet... I had also shown CuteKilala a few parodies of two cut scenes from the game, on the official site. She had a good laugh like I did when I first saw it. It's nice to see her laugh once in a while when it's things I show her. lol. ^_^ I also found out the meaning of the line "Kuwabara, Kuwabara" means that the character "Colonel Volgin" says when it's raining (I've been confused with what it meant until now). It seems to be something the Japanese say to ward off lightning. Which is strange, considering his body stores 10,000,000 volts! He's like Ginji from Get Backers, only he's a cold blooded sadist who enjoys causing people to have painful deaths. (Complete opposite of Ginji basically) Here's what he looks like. And this is Ginji for those who don't know. I don't know, maybe I'm just trying to find something to fill my post with. lol. ^^' See you all when I get back! ^_^

Late Update

Sorry for the late update. I didn't feel like updating earlier but now I do. I would feel much better after doing so. Mostly when I visit everyone. Well I haven't been doing a lot. But there are a few good things I'm going to do. I'm going to ask my older cousin, George, if he can pre-order "Battle for Middle Earth II: Collector's Edition" from Amazon.co.uk for me. Then I'm going to pay him in cash after doing so. I just found out it's a Limited Edition that I am trying to get, so I'm no longer going to wait to get it in the shops. Speaking of George, he's the same one I told you all about winning a contest to be a commentator for the Super-Bowl (Only heard in Britain). It seems that after all that commentating, he lost his voice! They told him to shout, so he did and that's how it happened. lol. Well I'm sure he's fine now. He'll be happy that his favourite team, "The Steelers" won. ^_^ Here's a page about him. http://www.greenocktelegraph.co.uk/readstory.php?id=6870 Also, I got a VERY late birthday present from my brother, Michael. YAY! He got me "Pokemon XD"! I've been trying to get it for Christmas, but couldn't. Thank you very much, Michael! It was a very nice surprise. I'll be playing that tonight. ^_^ My Mum got a Valentine's Gift from a secret admirer. It was sitting in front of our door step for a few hours. (She was worried it came from Mike Holmes, long story) We never got to confirm who the flowers and card came from, because it seems they were gone an hour later. Mum couldn't stop laughing. lol. ^_^ Maybe some really cheap boyfriend decided to pick up the first thing he sees, and decided to take the flowers. That's what happens when you live in an apartment building. I'd also like to say that I'm very sorry about the last time I updated. I failed to visit everyone. I couldn't get as much time on the computer as I thought I could. I'll make up for it tonight. EDIT: OOPS! I almost forgot! It's CuteKilala's Birthday tomorrow. Be sure to wish her a Happy Birthday. ^_^

   Not My Day Today...

Okay. I don't have a lot of time. I have to give my Mum most of today on the computer. I got distracted and took her whole day playing the Battle for Middle Earth 2 demo. I'm only allowed to update and leave comments on everyone's sites. Sorry, I can't answer too many PMs... Speaking of the demo. It was great! I think the game was really well made. Almost everything doesn't need to be modified by me. I was using the Dwarves. Don't know why, but when I told them to kill big spiders, I laughed when they said, "Crush the little buggers!" lol. ^_^ Galadriel is quite a fun unit to use. I made her summon a tornado and blew away entire armies! It was a LOT of fun seeing them get lifted up, spun around into the air and thrown back to the ground. lol. ^_^ I really can't wait to buy the full version. I found a British site that I can use a "Mail Order" to buy it. So I don't need a credit card. YAY! Anyway. On to things that more of you are more interested in. I managed to make more clips of FMA. It's from the same episode as the one I made clips from in the last post. It's when everyone was thinking of what to do with Hawkeye's dog (Before it had an owner). ^_^ If you can't watch the video, here's an ADORABLE picture of Hawkeye's dog. ^_^ Well once I'm off the computer, I have to think hard on what to do. See you all later.

   FMA Clips!

Hey everyone. I was really looking forward to today. The demo for "The Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth 2" is coming out for download! YAY! That will keep me busy until I buy the full game. I can't wait to use the Dwarves! ^_^ Apart from that, I have to give part of my day to Mum since I took so much of yesterday. There's a chance I MIGHT not be able to get to everyone's site, but I'll try my very best. Okay. I have two clips of FMA. Someone asked me to put on an entire episode. I'm afraid that's not possible. Not only is the video too big to upload, it's illegal too, I could lose my ZippyVideos account if I do. The video clips I have here are from episode 13 of Full Metal Alchemist. The first one is Roy's opinion on dogs. The second one is when Lt. Hawkeye first gets her dog. Since nobody had a specific request, I picked them myself. If any of you think of one, leave a request in the comment box and I'll be happy to make it. ^_^ Oh aye! I almost forgot! I found something in FMA that was not meant to be found. Here's a screenshot of what I mean. This is meant to be a "Town Deed", to the coal mining town that Ed conned Lt. Yoki with fake gold bars to get. I would say they both got conned. Nothing on the piece of paper says ANYTHING about owning the town. Here's what it says. "Investing the working of nature is at the very root of science and is one of the most significant of the intellectual endeavours of humankind. Britain was the centre of the 'Scientific Revolution' the process where by, by heading itself upon experiment and observation, science was established as a legitimate field of study." Then it keeps repeating it several times. Does that sound like a town deed? Not only were they both conned, but it seems like Ed and everyone else in that town, are COMPLETELY incapable of reading. lol. ^_^ About me and CuteKilala scratching D.N.Angel off our anime list. Maybe I'll just watch it in Japanese by myself. It's not the first time I have watched shows by myself. I'd hate to miss out on an anime that's supposed to be good, just because the dub was horrible. I better get going. Mum is going to nag me if I don't give her a shot. *Sigh*

   Finally Online!

That's me finally online now. I found it really hard to get on MyOtaku because everyone in the house kept swapping their days in the middle of the afternoon. So whenever I got given the day, it was too late to update. GRR! Oh well. This time I woke up to find a message on notepad saying I can have today, so I'm using it for MyOtaku right now. It was originally CuteKilala's day, but now you guys are stuck with me. Hope you don't mind. lol. ^_^ Anyone seen those riots on the tv over the way Prophet Mohammad was portrayed? (Him with a bomb-shaped turban with a fuse lit on the end of it from what I hear) What kind of idiot drew that cartoon and thought he could get away with it? Well it's good they never published the cartoon in this country, that's the last thing we need... The newspapers in this country are bad, but I guess even THEY won't sink so low as to publish it like 12 other countries have. I read a couple of mangas of Get Backers. It's definitely not the same as the anime. I can't say that I enjoyed it as much so I stopped after a couple of chapters. Too much ecchi. At least the anime version had NONE AT ALL! Sure it had it's funny parts in the manga, but ecchi just ruins it for me. I'll stick with the anime. I also just watched the first episode of D.NAngel with CuteKilala. It wasn't too bad. But the dub was just plain HORRIBLE! I asked CuteKilala if we can watch it in Japanese instead, despite the fact I knew what she was going to say. She doesn't want to watch ANYTHING in Japanese! (As I thought) That's one show scratched off the list of anime we watch. I heard good things about it too. Oh well... What else happened? Hmmmm... There were other things I was meant to mention, but I forgot what they were. ^^' EDIT: OH! How could I forget!? My older cousin won a competition and now he will get to commentate on the Super Bowl! (I think he already has) He's on the newspaper. Although he's only going to be on TV over here in the UK. Here's a link to the page on the Newspaper's website. http://www.greenocktelegraph.co.uk/readstory.php?id=6841 No time for screenshots or videos today, sorry. But then again, if any of you can name a clip you want to see of FMA, I'll make one for the next post in 2-3 days. ^_^
