Last night, after wandering aimlessly through the local Borders store near closing time, i was surprised to find a CD that I swear i’ve looked for there before - Imperative Reaction’s latest disk “Redemption”. More industrial synthpop to feed my silly angst. (speaking of IR, if you check out the lyrics to “diminish me” off of the “Ruined” disk, you’d swear that the song was written for a certain character of mine 
As usual, i also meandered through the manga section. I picked up Genshiken volume 1. I love Genshiken, if only for the reason it is exactly the kind of Manga that Kimiko would give Shimoku Kio a serious verbal lashing about 
That and for Ohno-chan. The nice thing about Manga is you can read it fairly quickly, so it’s easier to find cracks in your time to read chunks of them. Anime is a bit more of a pain… Cortana is trying to get me hooked on Gokujo Seitokai… damn them. It’s bad enough he taunts me with other things . No, i don’t want one for my desk. Really.
I spent most of the day yesterday turning over dirt and cultivating this garden area in the backyard. I tell you, i have a lot of respect for people who’ve made their living digging ditches throughout history, for farmers who who in ages past used to have to do this stuff by hand, and for hydraulic power equipment. I always joke with Seraphim that i want to get a skid steer loader… I think i know what i’d do with it now
I make that link in jest, because about six months ago i had made a link to the Caterpillar front page (CAT makes, like, most of the world’s heavy machinery) in a rant as part of a joke about how i felt like the week had run me down with a front end loader. A week later i got an email from someone at CAT wondering where the hell all the traffic was coming from After a few emails explaining things, he said that it’s too bad that the traffic wasn’t getting there via paid advertising - i probably could have bought one of their base skid-steer loaders for all the click-thrus.
Damn. now he tells me
- pirotunes: Silent Records - Ambient Temple Of Imagination - Thee All Importance Of Imaginat -
Ah, proof that people do actualy read the rants. (Or at least look at the pretty pictures).
oOOooOooOo…pictures….=P~~
^_^…I think our pallet jack at work (which is at Borders ^_^ ) is a CAT product…I think…don’t remember…I just like to threaten to run my supervisor over with it every time he taunts me that he just barely missed being Fred at WizzyWigs a couple months back…^^;;…
Anyways…good luck with your garden, Fred! =D
Diminish Me, huh? ^__^
Darn. Maybe CAT could give you compensation? xD
If you check out http://www.myspace.com/imperativereaction they’re playing a show in Detroit on June 8th. Just in case you want to go see them.
Re: most recent rant.
Awww. I was really looking forward to seeing you and Sarah again at SDCC this year.
Well, I hope there’s a lucky twist of events that’ll enable you to come by anyway. It would definitely make my week.
Wow… I always hate it when you found out later that you could have made a sizeable amount of money on something and didn’t…
As to yesterday’s comic… well, I have what I showed to several of my friends on AIM:
OVERKILL!
::Player Scify has been fragged by Japanese Overflow
The last bit was a link to the main page.
Bwah… I just realized that that could sound bad, so… it’s not. The comic was, as usual, stellar… I just need to get back into my learning of Japanese… maybe in college…
Silly of me to be so nervous just posting a comment, ne?
Forgive me for saying this here, but other efforts have failed to gain attention.
Fred-rin, I’ve found several items relating to Kanon and Air that I think you might like and I would like to send them to you. Details are under “A question for Fred-rin” by okami_shiroi (or shiroi_okami) on the second or third page of FAF Drawing Discussions thread (not originally posted there).
Again, please forgive my abuse of this space. ::bows::
A legit comment this time–I promise. I just found the lyrics to “diminish me” and you’re right, Fred-rin, they fit very well.
i lission to that band and there really good i like them alot XD.
I enjoy Gokujo Seitokai, and I’d have to say that I really recommend it. It’s pretty funny actually.
