“Tripping the Rift: Season 1” (2004)

“T.A.T.U.: Screaming for More” (2004)		 post 345 ~ this week… more canadian and russian tastes…

  • this week ~ it’s a calm week so far… working, reviewing, editing the latest tech manual on my plate… tedious but i get to do it from home ;)))… chatting with and … watching episodes of “fate stay night” during the day… and episodes of “damo” during my nightly workout…
  • tripping the rift ~ lol, about this dvd… i stumbled upon this canadian series by chance last week, while visiting “best buy” to get some new CD/DVD sleeves… so after getting it via netflix yesterday, i must admit, definitely eye-poppingly “R” rated… just think of “southpark” and “futurama” smashed together into a 3D/CGI universe… even funnier is that the sexy cyborg character “six” is voiced by gina gershon! cool, huh? LOL ;)… i’m giving 4 of 5 stars b/c some of the blood-and-guts violence is a bit too much, but still something to check out! ;)))
  • t.A.T.u. ~ now, thanx to and her posted collection of musical tastes, i was reminded of the russian duo “tatu” ;)… yeah-yeah, i know i’m a few years late, but then again, i didn’t have limewire until this february… so i finally downloaded 15 of their tracks, haha!… and guess what?… as trance artists, i’m surprised i like ’em better than “kirsty hawkshaw” and “conjure one” and “sia”… yup, they’re actually good!… hence, i’ve added their dvd to my netflix queue, why not? ;)))
  • okay, back to work…

post 338 ~ ten days…

post 338 ~ okay, ten days… i’ve been away FAR too long, hehe ;)))

  • hey, thanx to everyone for all the b’day wishes and comments and meals and gifts… including gift certs to outback and red lobster ;)… an outback lunch with kim ;)… a cheesecake factory lunch with vanessa and her sis ;)… handfuls of icons/walls from like this one featuring tricia helfer of “battlestar galactica”, lol ;)… and a cute silver Targus mini-mouse from for my laptop… thanx! ;)))

  • lol, funny that both cylon “number six” and cyborg “maj. motoko kusanagi” are both artificial females with deadly intelligence, power, and beauty ;)… hmmm, i wonder if the transgenic “max” (from dark angel) would fit in here too, hehe!
  • meanwhile, work’s been so-so… same technical editing in the first-floor “dungeon” or from home… plus researching for some communication-skills training videos/dvds for our professional/customer service depts (yeah-yeah, sure sounds like HR work, don’t it? lol)… but since we don’t have an HR “department” at the moment… argh ;)
  • otherwise, been spending time watching dvds (what else?)… finished the BSG 2.0 episode “pegasus”… amazing, so far season 2 has been great; haven’t really noticed a sizable drop in action/drama… and also finished “gankutsuou” disc 3 (amazing!) and “full metal panic: fumoffu” disc 1 (hilarious!)… and when these netflix discs are returned, i’ve continued working out with “babylon 5” season 4… yeah-yeah, okay, no laughing please ;)
  • if not dvds, then i’ve been downloading MP3s, emailing, chatting, and working on another photo/photoshop remix for , well, actually, for her sister… lots of details to clean-up before the actual “remix” can start… we’ll see how much i can do over the weekend…

post 326 ~ keeping an eye…

by
post 326 ~ well, for those who don’t know, my left eye has recovered back to normal… but still wearing my dark glasses at work, still wearing “my sunglasses at night”…

  • still watching tons of dvds… star wars episode III extras, “battlestar galactica” series, “dark angel” series, “gankutsuou: count of monte cristo” (5 stars), “in the realm of the senses” (3 stars), “all about lily chou-chou” (3 stars), “oh, my goddess!” (not seen enough to rate yet), etc…
  • yet it seems my LJ activity has become more and more infrequent… as a consequence of work of course, but not necessarily a bad thing… more and more colleagues are relying on my efforts, which is satisfying albeit draining… half my time planned for GE documentation, the other half planned for application user guides, and the THIRD half spent on urgent editing projects that drop into my lap… yup! ;)))
  • and all while keeping an eye on my eyes… not overworking them… on the screen, on the TV, on the highway… so i think i’ll take a little nap ;)

post 319 ~ finally!

by
post 319 ~ thanx everyone for your best wishes regarding my gran’ma and myself… i appreciate it… and now for some news…

  • LJ ~ updated the look of my LJ to match the look of my website :)
  • DVDs ~ received the “chrono crusade” collection in the mail!… resumed at about episodes 17 thru 19, when i last watched via netflix… ah, getting good! ;D… meanwhile, finished my netflix of “24” season 2 disc 4… likewise getting good! ;D… and also resumed my “dark angel” season 2 exercising… still tons to go, including “gits:sac 2nd GIG” disc 2 still unfinished…
  • PC ~ a-ha!… after years of dreaming, and considering others before myself… after grandma passed on, and work piled on… i started 2006 by FINALLY treating myself with my first notebook/laptop (to match jen-shaka’s, hehe)… quickly qualified for a 12-month no-interest credit card, and clicked “submit” (ah, that feeling of power!)… only about $100/month for the next 12 months, not bad!!! ;)))
  • HW ~ yeah, homework… i brought home the 150-page training doc that needs revisions by jan 6th… unfortunately, there’s another doc i’ll be starting on the 3rd, due the 4th, argh… so i SHOULD do some work before the new year’s break ends… but still, i need all the holidays i can get to rest and relax… ah well, we’ll see… update ~ was able to start with 2 hours of reformatting… not too bad…

post 312 ~ man, the work week is speeding by!… mailed my christmas package to my family in new york… ordered my jen-shaka’s new DELL laptop… trying not to get burned in the fire between two LJ friends… meanwhile, last night, after several nights, finished my first “matrix” illustration in almost TWO YEARS! ;)))
