I started watching Koutetsu Sangokushi, and it took me about 2 episodes and the assistance of Wikipedia to find out that its characters are based off of the historical novel, Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The anime is pretty interesting, which was a surprise to me since I wasn't really expecting anything. The fact that it reminds me of Dynasty Warriors is also a plus (which reminds me, I need to catch up on those Sengoku Basara episodes...) I'll update more about it after I finish the series though.

All I really wanted to say was that I despise technology. And you ask, why would I, a new media student who is currently studying web development, ever hate the very thing that comprises not only my future career but also my current internship, especially since I spend most of my waking hours on a computer? Well, let me tell you. I just spent $70 because online shopping is so fucking easy that it's ridiculous. At least with the books I bought I saved some money, especially the last group of volumes; I saved about $25, but still. I need to save money and the easiness that comes with today's technology just makes it that much harder. I hate you, online shopping. I really do.

But I suppose something good came out of it. I do really need to get back into reading books. I haven't fully enjoyed a book since middle school, and I'm already supposed to be a senior in college (erm, yeah, according to the credits I currently have, that's not happening). My use of vocabulary and my way of speech is really shitty compared to what it should be like as a university student. I'm going to try and read better material, sans the 2/3 of the previously mentioned order I placed consisting of books that are meant to entertain rather than heighten my intellect :P

Well, better being a little bit late than never hearing about it at all. Thank you, Brain, for that random Google search!

Taken from Virtual Japan, from this article.

The Hiatus is a Japanese rock band formed in 2009 by Takeshi Hosomi of the band Ellegarden. The Hiatus is considered by some Ellegarden fans to be Takeshi Hosomi's solo project, but the project is a real band featuring talented musicians from other popular Japanese bands including Thee Michelle Gun Elephant, Radio Caroline, and FULLSCRATCH. The members of the band as of their first show included Hosomi on vocals along with Kouji Ueno, Masasucks, Takashi Kashikura, and Hirohisa Horie. Like Ellegarden, many of The Hiatus's lyrics are sung in English.

The Hiatus was formed following the announced hiatus (get the irony) of Takeshi Hosomi's extremely popular previous j-punk/j-rock band, Ellegarden. Ellegarden announced their hiatus in 2008 and by the spring of 2009 the new band, The Hiatus had played their first show at Punk Spring 2009. The Hiatus released their first album, "Trash We’d Love" on May 27, 2009 on Sony Japan.

So, apparently, Ellegarden is on a break (I figured, since they hadn't made an album in a while), and The Hiatus is Takeshi Hosomi (a.k.a. my husband)'s new band :) I have yet to hear their album as I'm hoping to find a /gasp/ version of it on the net, but I haven't searched yet. Even though I'm more partial to Takeshi's Japanese stuff, him singing in English isn't nearly as bad as some of the other bands I've heard before, but who knows.

So... I kind of like 2PM now, and I blame it on Super Junior and SHINee.

That is all.

I have verified your information and changed the last name on your account from Deanne to Santos as you requested. Please keep in mind it may take up to 90 days for the name change to reflect on your online account.  I have also added your email address to your account as well.

Okay, first off, Best Buy, 48-hour responses my ass! Second of all, what the fuck are you doing for those 90 days that it takes to update my account information online? And thirdly, as much as I appreciate you adding my email address to my account, uh... I ALREADY DID THAT WHEN I SIGNED UP. Seriously, wtf?

I do give them a thumbs up for their people skills, though, and the fact that they were helpful when they found the time to answer my two freakin' emails. But I figure they must get a lot of questions, being an electronics store and all. That's just basically putting a tattoo on your head that says "Hey, idiots, ask me any kind of stupid question you want 'cause no matter who idiotic it is, I'll help!"

Oh, and I was cruising the InTeRnEtZ and looking at computers (I'm procrastinating and severely bored), and I came across this in one of the reviews:

[The computer] is fast, and not giving me any problems. I know how to take care of my computer I do cleaning, defragmenting and doing other stuff and maybe that is why it is not giving me any problem. I would say I bought the right desktop for me and it is really worth it.

So, I had no animosity towards this person at this point because 1) he obviously cares more about his computer than I do about mine because when it comes to defragmenting and disk cleanup I'm like "Wha??" and 2) he doesn't sound like a complete idiot, which is nice considering this is something from online. That is, until I got to this part:

I just hope they change the CD/DVD drive because sometimes when I'm in a hurry and don't put the CD well it get stocked inside and it is really hard to get it out but thats the only problem that I am experiencing and nothing more.

Okay, seriously, dude, you're going to give a computer 4/5 stars just because you're apparently a dumbass who can't even put a CD in correctly? Forget the fact that you have enough time to defrag your computer and run disk cleanup. Obviously, checking to see if you put in a fucking CD in correctly takes up way too much of your valuable, computer defragging time.

You're ridiculous. Just incredibly ridiculous. And I think you should be karate-chopped in the neck because you need to spell-check your shit. I found grammar and punctuation errors and, on top of your dumbassery in that review, I just really want to punch you in the face if I ever meet you in person.

And secondly, don't CD/DVD drives come with that pin you can insert to do a manual eject? Because you should probably think about using that before you submit a review that makes you sound like an idiot.

P.S. I don't think having the company change the CD/DVD drive for you will help.

"She walks as the warm sun shines down on her, the clouds above nothing but thin layers of moisture in the sky."

The weather was really nice today, at least by everyone else's standards. 'Tis a shame that I had to walk in it.

BestBuy used the wrong name when it made my membership. Apparently, according to them, my name is Alyssa Deanne. Like, wtf BestBuy? wtf. Seriously. I think it was the chick who inputted my information at the store. When I gave her my license she apparently thought my name was Alyssa Deanne not Alyssa Deanne(middle name) Santos. She's awesome. She deserves a gold star sticker that's been torn to shreds and then dipped in peanut sauce and then stuck on her perfectly ironed white shirt. I don't remember what she looks like though, it was so long ago :(

So, I contacted BestBuy on their online contact form thing (since I'm lazy and I don't call people. Like, what are cellphones again?) to ask if I can somehow fix it. It's going to bug me until it gets fixed. And plus, if they do check my I.D. if I order something online to pick up at the store, I think they'll be like, "Uh, your name is not Alyssa Deanne." Of course, my middle name is on my driver's license too, but I'm a prick and I want my last name on there instead.

Damn you, BestBuy! I don't get this shit from YesAsia (even if you are two completely different stores and YesAsia still kind of sucks anyway, but still).

I want to buy a new computer now. Not because I want a new computer (although it certainly wouldn't hurt considering my computers are at least 6 years old), but just because I want to buy the Sims 3 and play it. That's the worst reason to buy a computer. And it's only for one freaking game, albeit an addictive game, but still! That's ridiculous. Buying a computer just to play Sims 3. Gosh. Alyssa. Geez.

I just love playing the Sims. It's so stupid how addictive that game really is. I used to play it all day, from the time I woke up until the time I went to sleep, leaving barely any time for myself to eat because I just couldn't stop playing it, and I would continue on like that for months! It's horrible. UGHHHH. I hate that game. I hate it, BUT I WANT IT SO BAD T_______T

Dammit. I should be paying more attention to my internship and worrying about school in the Fall than wasting money on some stupid game.

THIS ENTRY CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR Gun X Sword.

So, I was watching Gun X Sword and I just realized how fucking convenient everything turned out after episode 12. Van turns into some psycho and somehow manages to defeat his friend even though he had trouble defeating him, like, 5 minutes ago. And then the other dude, Ray, gets in touch with his psychotic side and goes crazy. The only sane ones are Carmen99 and Marie. I would include Joshua, but the kid fucking stepped in front of a bullet and saved the man his brother was trying to kill. Like, wtf Joshua? I knew you were annoying and a little bit stupid, but I didn't realize you had a fucking mental problem that inhibited you from being able to know what common sense fucking was.

Seriously, what the fuck is up with this series?

I'm super pissed right now, I don't even give a crap about how many times I've used the F-word in this damn entry.
