The more obvious something is, the more oblivious you tend to be to it.
Sigh... You know my mini project? The one where I make stuff?
I'm SERIOUSLY behind schedule.
The first one sparkles, but somehow manages not to look good, the one that's turning out nicely is taking up WAY TOO MUCH TIME.
It'll better be worth at least 15 bucks.
Anyway, decided to start on another one and hope it turns out better, so I can show something nice. Might decide to tear apart the first one and start over.
I guess some (okay... many) (well actually, 95% of the population) may say that I'm overambitious to try to do something for sale without training, but that's just me. Somehow, I find it easier for a lot of things to start from the middle and feel my way to the ends of the rope. Can't work for everything of course, but if it can it works real well for me.
Plus I need some place to channel my overactive imagination, before I get too paranoid again. And since I'm not feeling particularly miserable, I've no inspiration for the typical teen poetry.
Anyway, Chrys, I hope to show you something decent soon, but meanwhile I think you might want to draw up a Christmas shopping list to pass the time. And if I don't produce something by then, well, you can try mimicking Legolas and use my picture for an urukai.
Next topic: My latest raves and faves.
I still love House. Muhahaha. But I'm guessing I have no need to elabourate on this one.
Next please.
Now that we've got Animax at home (YES!!), I've been watching this really cool (though very ancient) anime, Dan Dectective School Q. For all ye English-speaking fools who know not chinese nor japanese (and therefore may never have heard of this), as well as for those who are just pure idiots who can't guess what the anime is about from the really obvious title, it's about a student, Q (or Kyu, if you like), who successfully enrols in the prestigious DDS, a school that trains detectives, and solves crimes with buddies in his class.
I missed the first episode (WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH), but have watched from 2nd to 7th episode now. It's a bit like a lighthearted version of Kindaichi.
If I were to ramble on about all the cool scenes and situations in the series, I'll get no sleep tonight, or this morning, if you will. But I will tell you about the stuff that come after the end credits.
Up to episode 4, there's this guy (I think he's called Ryu) who appears after the end credits, helping out the police, or spending time with a cute little pre-adolescent girl in London or something, but he's never appeared in the actual show, except for a short time in episode 5. So it gets the viewers interest. In episode 4 he's seen flying off, and in the beginning of episode 5, he requests to go to DDS straightaway instead of to the mansion (what mansion? I don't know).
Then the episode goes on as usual, and after the end credits, there's a scene of someone bathing, and I thought, whoa, we're looking at a mysterious Ryu showering. After a few mysterious shots of showering, stepping out of the shower, getting a towel, we finally see the guy's face... and...
It is not Ryu.
Instead we get Kinta (one of Q's buddies), who looks out of the screen and demands, "Hey! What are you looking at?"
Talk about feeling cheated. But it was kinda funny.
Anyway, subsequently Ryu doesn't appear anywhere. But he's scheduled in the next episode. An actual appearance, apparently.
Oh! Today's case was solved mainly using the photograhic memory of Megumi, Q's other buddy. It's this totally amazing ability that literally mimicks the camera, taking "photos" of anything in an instant. For example, the victim in this episode (who, BTW, shared Megumi's ability) had just finished working on a white jigsaw (in case you have no idea what that is, it's a jigsaw puzzle with absolutely no picture, no line, not even a single dot, just plain white. CAN YOU IMAGINE DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT??? IT WOULD KILL THE MOST PATIENT OF PEOPLE!) When Kinta messed up part of it by accident, Megumi wasted no time in putting the pieces back in place, and she didn't have to start from the sides of the undisturbed part of the puzzle; she knew exactly where the pieces went, even though she'd never seen the puzzle before, and it was ruined by Kinta VERY shortly after.
It's literally having the ability to remember millions of details in a room after having seen it for a fraction of a second.
After the end credits, Megumi appeared to challenge the viewers to train photographic memory. She says, "Are you ready? Here it is!" And all of a sudden, a series of white numbers and letters appear against a black screen and, in the time it takes to blink, Megumi's back asking, "Did you catch that?" ZJJ and I were like, what??? I know there was a 79, but I didn't get the last digit, and I think I saw an AB behind. Megumi goes, "Let's try that again!" and the same thing happens...
You'd expect that I'd be able to get the full series this time right?
The number changed. I saw a 2 in front. And I didn't catch anything else.
ZJJ and I were like, WAHLAU!!! (We weren't the only ones. Q, Kinta and his fifth grade computer genius buddy were later shown gritting in pure agony and frustration)
Well, I guess I don't have photographic memory.
