suddenly it decided to rain.

it’s like heaven is saying to him, “oh hai there here i am fucking with your plans atm =D!”

D=

but make no mistake, i actually love the rain. though admittedly i also associate it with the melancholy.  i’m very thankful for it for its ability to wash all the dirt and sorrows of the world away.

i just wish it would let me have ice cream tomorrow though argh (commuting is hard when it’s raining!)

and i also feel some kind of melancholy that my dreams of spending the rain in a place that i could call my own and my own only… would most likely never happen.

but i’m not saying goodbye yet.

two days exactly now before hell and misery starts… i can’t help but feel the dread.

1. i don’t know if i was just that busy being sick or being stressed or being in denial or farming copper zaishen coins, but i actually forgot changing the calendar  aldkjfldjfldsjfldsk. and it’s the end of May already too.

so last week, i finally ripped the page…

Masa+curry+that sweet Masa smile. suddenly all is right with the world XDDD.

and, a few days ago too, in my quest for finding another obscure beer brand:
 

most likely not a new thing anymore lol, but it’s delicious*____*~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

2. omg David Cook on local tv days and days ago. akdsfhlsdhfldsfklsdjflksajfldsk couldn’t watch his concert tho due to work. argh X___x;;. i swear workforce changed my schedule >__<…! (though honestly i’m a little thankful for the schedule changed, because i was really sick since last wednesday and really needed long bed rest…)

i have this special fondness for David Cook due to something in common i have with him, aside from that he is one genuine, great person =).

3. reading too much Ryo fics actually ryo x uchi fics recently kind of rekindled my affection for Nishikido Ryo.

i have also read one of the most epic fics i’ve ever read.

argh. this is dangerous =.=…

not to mention that in sidereal astrology he is considered a libra. argh.

and everytime i see him, i can’t help but grin and say internally, “no matter what you do, you’ll always be the dark character of Kanjani 8. ahahaha >XD”.

strangely, he reminds me of my dark side too.

4. and, speaking of kanjani8, i can mostly distinguish members now XD. most accurately, associate the face with the name/nickname and distinguish the difference. i can easily recognize everyone now, except for Maru^^;;. and Uchi (sometimes…!).

fanfics and fan wallpapers did help, apparently XDDDDD (also, reading that epic of a story in LJ X3…).

… i suddenly feel accomplished XDDDD.

5. ( and i feel sick. )

massive flash update. OMG.

and in… 180 minutes??? XDDD.

seems only the show in Shibuya. i thought it was snippet from one show to another. but anyway. 180 MINUTES *___* <– is this actually for real anyway???

will he go Alex on stage?? =D?

july. august. i swear, some god of money out there must be laughing at me >__< ;;.

oh, hai. been coughing out my lungs recently.

verdict: i would have really loved Total Video Converter if it was actually consistent X_x.

consistent in the terms that the same kind of video quality will be encoded everytime -especially- regardless that you rip and burn and convert the same video into different video codecs -without- closing the program.

TVC would have been ok as it’s the only instant rip-multiconverter so far who can do timecode ripping, i.e., rip a specific timeframe of video to the millisecond that you specify. but it has a tendency to crash, video quality codec encoding deteriorating if you use it for a long period of time (i.e, not closing the program at all and just rip-converting the same video over and over again only in different codecs), sometimes rawvideo couldn’t be screencapped on playback, and do other funny things i couldn’t understand X__x (i.e, it talking parameter gibberish)

Aimersoft is almost like that too. no exact to the millisecond rip-converting, and most importantly video and audio sometimes does not sync specially at almost hour-long footages =/ (e.g., Baba’s Tetsu dvd).

rawvideo, huffyuv rawvideo (and sometimes h264 and auto huffyuv) seems the way to go though.

(this is one of the times i wish i had an ipod. actually, a nano, but not the latest nano. i’m the 3rd-gen lover X__x, the squarish nano. just so i could finally watch all those videos i’m longing to watch for a long long time. because i couldn’t be with my computer all the time, always on the go and frequently bored in between)
