I'm up, and with head pain. From sleeping too much or just going through rainy days (but I always say that), and it's been quite rainy and windy. This morning is quite dry. It looks like a typical Spring day.

So I had a new long dream, and it wasn't angry. It didn't make me angry nor was it scary, but it was another "driving" dream. Actually, I bought a used sports car from a nice family, but it was just laying in their backyard? A white GT-R (apparently), but I don't think GTR's have manual gearbox.

Not sure what this means. Driving a car in a dream seems to imply that you have an ambition and you're taking direction, or you are free without worries. In most of my car dreams, I had trouble driving due to a fault in the car. I usually feel scared, but this time the fault was the gearbox. Despite that, I didn't have much problem driving. So the dream was alright.

And it was so funny. I could interchange the gearbox because there's a little "track" where the floor-mounted stick was. In other words, I had different types, such as a "H pattern" and a straight "automatic" pattern. I could pull one out and put new gear in. Thus the title's name: "Lego Gearbox". And the lady said something like "Take these with you too".

(Shrugs)

Recently, I did perk up. The dream is probably a sign.

Very random because...well, Formula One on the brain. Occasionally can catch European races on TV at work (and beautiful Ferrari models). And all I seem to blog about mostly is crap life and what I watch. Sometimes it's games and sometimes it's books.

What is the cause for most car crashes in competitive racing?

Is it mechanical failure? Or is it the fault of the driver (such as in overpass)? Weather?

2nd thought, what is the lead cause of automobile crashes? Alcohol? Distractions (phone, smoking, etc)? Weather? mechanical failure? Lack of understanding in the rule of the road?

This is all rhetorical. Maybe I can do a new theme here, something for me to blog on.

Also, I am finally playing ACE ATTORNEY! Pretty good.

Like I said before, I am embarrassed at showing my work. But then, I came up with the idea of showing excerpt of stories using photos.




I did a fanfic based on Future GPX Cyber Formula, particularly on its OVA series "Zero". Only a few people, or at least I know about two (Car dummy Miki Shinichiro did one as well?), has done Cyber Formula fics. That is especially in English.

And since I was impressed with the series, the TV show being smart and about a boy and a machine, and the OVA being dramatic with interesting visuals (my fun slowly being thrown away like shoveled sand due to bad subs, repeated footage, and Asurada oversteering its tail nearly into a circle and passing through a curve successfully to pass also, no K-sensei...), AND since I like cars, I wanted to go for it.

( Spoilerish about ZERO series, but if you don't mind )

RC Type!



Game footage. A nice rivalry against Knight Shumacher. There's also Kaga, Shinjyo, Hayato, and I think Hiyama Nobuyuki's character, Andrea. It's hard to tell because he has a scar on his forehead. Sounds like him. BGM is Identity Crisis.

Long time no sniff...

I can't say that I'm happy with babysitting. There are the rewards of the niece enjoying my company, despite her being very mischievous, but what's even more aggravating is the childishness, arrogance, and ill will of her parents. Or maybe I'm just annoyed by the mischievous.

Also, I'm totally broke thanks to vehicle maintenance.

Maybe in the far future, I can live in the U.P and ride a bike.



I finished Fafner in the Azure (蒼穹のファフナー; Fafner of the blue sky) tv series. So, this means I have to watch the movie "HEAVEN and EARTH" and the special "RIGHT to LEFT".

I don't think I can...

I don't want to hear "Soku Iru" again.

Fafner's story is incomprehensible. Eureka Seven, Eureka Ao, Fafner, Gundam, maybe I can't fully enjoy Sci-fi because I seemingly have low comprehension. Again, Fafner keeps being compared to Neon Genesis Evangelion, yet I can't compare the psychological deficits of Fafner with Eva, with the island being a fake paradise. I don't think they have the same intensity. Still, I couldn't stop watching. For some reason, it was interesting.

Again, in Sci-fi, you put in an atmosphere where you expect to know what's going. Or you just engage into the series with the knowledge that you already have: biology, nanotech, machines, etc. I guess it didn't fully help. Eureka and Fafner had this strange jargon that kept me guessing; what the @#%$ was a Mir and why was it so important I kept wondering? I have trouble finding it mysterious when it apparently plays a significant role. There's the German machines and connection system (that Soushi uses), then there's the security system named after a King of Israel.

And Soshi...why care?! Why care about him so much?!

Ugh, there is so much for me to research on.

Of course, I wasn't confused with everything. I was intrigued that the adults of Japan were unable to bear children so they made artificial fetuses on Tatsumiya. They are immune to the radiation of the first Fetsum, but apparently, they suffer from the effects of losing their minds when piloting the Fafners.

Here's more:

- What in the hell with Kazuki's mom?

- Kasugai. Nearly cried for him.

- Mamoru was a shock. I actually felt sorry for his parents

- Enjoy the court scene with Tomi's father (lol!)

In the end of it all, it's about aliens understating another lifeform. AGAIN! After all of that destruction.

There's too much to explain. The Festum attacks were always fun.

Tokusatsu and...
I have too much on my list, and it may be a good idea for me to put some series on hold along with Legend of Galactic Heroes. I actually progressed a bit in Hurricanger, which looks interesting. It'll be difficult to not watch Gokaiger, Zyuranger, Hurricanger, and morphin' time Gobusters for a while.

At the moment, it's Shinkenger, Kakuranger and Kyoryuger. I've reached the second season of Kakuranger, and $%#T's GOT REAL!.

I could use a new Kamen Rider series, but which one?

On an upside, I'm WATCHING PATLABOR!

Speaking of Michigan...
So, Michigan Radio...Detroit is bankrupt, police officers robbing drivers, U-of-M med student is shot, etc.

Ted Nugent is coming to his home of Detroit for a concert; American Idol was holding auditions in the same city.

What else is there?

CATS
Lately, I''ve been wondering about cats. Because I'm such a big dog person, and yet there are many cats that need homes, I just felt like I've been too ignorant. Maybe in the future, I can own a cat. SO far, I just adore the company of dogs. I'm the type who loves to come home and see someone delighted to see me...or so that's what it looks like.

For the longest time, I thought that a cat purred because it felt pleasant, but that's not the true case?

VID TIME! KAZE TACHINU TRAILER! PLANE TIME!

A good last week, and I start off this week half accomplished and half discouraged. Sounds strange doesn't it? I was on a on-the-job evaluation for a couple of days and didn't make the cut because of physical weakness and pacing. Aside from that, I was told to have a great personality and that I pay attention to details. It was a lovely place too, people and atmosphere. I really wanted to work there; at least my resumes changes?

WHILE I understand this QUITE well and I carry no ill will, I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so I'm a little disappointed. I thought I just needed more time to make progress.

It was great to see niece overlord welcome me back when I returned.

Let me congratulate someone real quick: DANICA PATRICK! First woman to enter Pole Position in Daytona 500 qualifier!

I have to wonder. She has such strong physical and mental strength, despite being a racer. She isn't very tall and has little weight. I am similar to her even, and wanted to join the Sports Car club. Wouldn't my physique still be a problem?



GRRR!

Here's a song for her and me


Has nothing to do with encouragement or American football, but...it's still good. Gets me in a good mood. Apparently, it is a "reject" song?

It's Saturday and I'm attempting an all-day watch marathon; also, Maplestory training? SO far so good, I finished GARO (1st season), and I watched the Gundam Unicorn #5 and HELLSING Ultimate #9.

GARO
GARO?

So, I have two "movie specials" (Byakuya and Kiba Gaiden) and Red Requiem (Full length movie) to watch before starting season 2 (Also 25 eps?). Goodness. SO much.

First season? Or my impression of GARO so far? I almost regret watching it sometimes ;) When eating. Like MS IGLOO, "GARO" shows the worse in people. Never seen anything like it, and so many ragdoll beatdowns too.

I have my questions but maybe I'll read about it later after finishing the series completely.

GUNDAM UNICORN

I'd really enjoy Unicorn a lot more if...

IF I could fully comprehend what's going on. When everything is put together nicely, it's a winner. Characters, combat, story, etc; Gundam is about mecha, politics, war, etc

Can I really become a good fan? Is this just a weakpoint of mine? Or maybe this animation is a mess and is getting too much credit. It's either that or I'm military fiction-retarded after all.

Gonna do seiyuu meme, and I have to update katsuki_masako.

Time for comedy.

August!

I spent last week recovering form my cold. Not much was happening, and the Olympics began! As soon as I got better, I was back on my feet and driving again, grabbing groceries, cleaning, etc. Sheesh, lack of rest.

Because July was terrible, it's like I forgot how it felt to be healthy. Still, I feel like something is missing.

Also, I need a new TV.

And you know you like twitter too much when you openly talk about constipation and diarrhea. I'm looking at you K-sensei. I wanted to tease her so badly..
"So, did ya go?"

Also, I watched and finished MACROSS Zero. Beautiful and strange; I watched it a long long time ago but never finished it. Shin Kudo seemed selfish at first, but that changed rather quickly. Omg, I love dogfights, especially F-14. That's quite not nice to put a F-14 against a variable fighter. In this case, the SV-51s, but Shin actually lasted a good while. And we learn that flares are apparently immune to OTEC weapons ^^; Takayama Minami wss Nora! ARKAN?!

I wonder if SV means Sukhoi Variable. I'm still...not completely used to CGI.

And, I remember that I can have really really bad curiosity (related to SCHOOL DAYS video game), and I can get really bitter when it comes to shooting deaths.

Video time!

Am I immature for liking this?


Macross ZERO's first fight!
