It's been a while since I last posted, mainly cause college = no free time. I picked up 3 new records recently: "Some Girls" (Rolling Stones), "Reggatta de Blanc" (The Police), and "Fly By Night" (Rush). My fiance brought me Rush's 2112 the other day, which I've been looking for for the longest time, and he told me that he saw the Stone's "Some ( Read more... )

The Petsmart by my apartment is selling 3-packs of Yogurt Drops for $6.50. (Normally they're $3.30/pack; btw for people who've never had rodents as pets, yogurt drops are treats that rats, hamsters, etc. LOVE and that help with digestion.) Naturally, I had to get something for the cats, too, so I got them some cheap little toys. I'm such a sucker ( Read more... )

This is essentially a few modified surveys I took off someone else's journal for the purpose of filling in my own responses and, well, killing time. It's from gifted_one's journal. I went there soley to find out why she despises people who watch anime, and she never explains it. :( She sure has lots of these damn survey things, though, so I ( Read more... )

Urgh. I've been really sick lately. I hate my sinuses. Anyway, in my last entry, I talked a little about how changes are sometimes made when video games get translated into English. My favorite example of this is Illusion of Gaia, a favorite SNES game of mine that came out in '94. There are two big changes that I recently discovered while ( Read more... )

First, I thought it might be cool to actually show some pictures of the two games I talked about last time. Here's some of the scenes from Majotachi no Nemuri:

I've decided that this entry is going to be strictly news with no controversial rants whatsoever. As fun as those are, it's nice to take a break once in awhile. Besides, ranting and raving all the time might give people the impression that I'm like this in RL, and in actuality I'm really quiet. I don't usually express my views unless asked ( Read more... )

Man, my finger hurts so bad. I broke a nail last night and it was bloody and gross. It'll heal in a few days or so, but in the meantime, it makes typing a bitch. The real news from last night is that I finally got to see "Farenheit 9/11." After watching "Bowling for Columbine," I learned to take Michael Moore's documentaries with a grain of ( Read more... )

I've finally gotten the chance to translate Hareluya 2 Boy! I've been wanting to do it ever since I found out it was one of my manga group's projects, but I could never get in touch with the project leader. Recently, I found out that the project leader handed it over to someone else because he was never around, so I simply asked to take over ( Read more... )

I've really gotta get something off my chest. I came across an old Animefringe editorial a couple of days ago that just really pissed me off. The article discusses how it is impossible for a manga to be 100% accurate because of censorship issues, and because there are so many people involved in the translation process. Now, I will start off by ( Read more... )
