音時雨 ～Regentropfen～

At first, please don't mind I using such a combined title. I was super impressed by Yoko Ueno's (上野洋子) "EXEC_METEMPSYCHOSIS/." last night (well, I was already impressed by it long time ago). Yoko's composition surprised me -- as a "new" A.T. artist, her work should be the most close to the "original" A.T. style, no? XD As I listen to that track, I can't stop willing to dance with the music, graaah~ I saw someone's comment on Youtube toward this song: "starts dancing". lol Sounds good! :supersun:

well... too much off-topic... :see:

What I want to say in this post should be...

「何やってんの？もう何週間たって何も書かないってなんだよ？！」

↑ don't mind if you don't understand~ :fan:

Yes, time to post something!! XD
and I'm going to initialize myself!

って、どういうこと？

hmmm.....
気にしないで、わたしは独り言してるわ～ :typhoon:

I think I've said in July, I watched "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" and liked it. So, in last week, I watched it again, while reading its fan-made (?) wiki spoilers (hey, it's not spoiler anymore since you've watched it once :P).
Its wiki site made me recalling the time when I had a NGE fever. I'd never known they can dig so much from that anime (really, never)!! But the wiki articles (and some fan-arts) are really fun.

Just one example, based on the last episode, got from its wiki site~

and some ASCII ARTs:

AAs are awesome! m(_ _)m

I believe the reason to rewatch was Yuki Kajiura's OST. Saw that information from a forum, and got excited. The first track is awesome! I haven't heard such a good track from Yuki for a long time. Yet, the rest tracks are not that impressive like the first one... hmmm, at least I have one track in love from that work, good, good~ :sunny:

Shoujo Kakumei Utena -- kyaa, she's cool!!!

I began to watch this anime a few days ago. Because... yes, because of its music again... (おい、お前って音楽と関係ないこと言ったら死ぬのかよ～)
But, but, the music is EXCELLENT!
Shinkichi Mitsumune (光宗信吉), the composer of Rozen Maiden (only watched this...), can really mimic classical style and write "fake" classical tracks. The most impressive track to me is "根室記念館 (Nemuro Kinenkan/Nemuro Memorial Hall)". Of course, there are lots of tracks he wrote having a strong influence from classical music. ------- Anyway, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS ANIME, AND ITS ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK TO ALL OF YOU!! No matter if you're yuri or not! --- Yuri? yes, a bit (?) yuri. well, don't care about this, you'll like it~ :tea:

ahh, mentioning yuri...
A few days ago, I was searching some Shoujo Kakumei stuff by typing its original title in Japanese, and then, my dear Google Japanese IME gave me the following suggestions...

Why shoujo-ai??!! Σ(ﾟДﾟ；ｴｰｯ!

Alright, now, just on last night.
By chance, I listened to binaria's "花紺青 (スマルト/Smalt)".
Actually, I have a strong complex about this song. I always want to make some image art for it, but... as what you hear, this song is so formless that no one can catch any solid "idea" from it.
Oh, my, you mysterious binaria girls! :foggy:
Anyhow, I eventually figured out... from zero, from scrap, from void (なんだか絶望かな、この雰囲気 lol).
-- Therefore, I wrote randomly beside my scrap...
「その歌は自由であまり、形にすることがほとんど不可能です。絵という形式は形がある。だから、この2つには本質的に区別がある。けど、人類の想像がね、いつか何でも形に出来るんだろう。だから、なんとなく、こんな絵が出来上がった♪」
↑ So... I may have a new drawing soon! (but I don't know when I can do it since I have a labmtg in the next of next week) XD

p.s. did it in last weekend~

As what I wrote in my last post, I began to use Google plus a few days ago. I'm not good at using social communication services, yet this time, I want to give myself a change -- Google is just awesome, and this is the simple reason for me to make the decision.

However, since my last post, I did change my mind about the usage of different services. Too many services will only make people crazy on deciding where to put what and then jumping around and wasting time. So, eventually, my google buzz, plurk, and twitter were stopped officially (as well as my Facebook, though I didn't care it much from the very beginning). Anyway, my g-buzz only contains stuff from my G-reader; plurk and twitter, it's so hard to use them separately since their functions are so similar, though so far, both of them look like places for people to spam. orz Therefore, there's no need to use them on this point.

Now the problem is kind of solved -- only G+ was left, and that's the thing I'll keep using. As for how to use it and what to post there, I'm still not that sure; it's really my first time to decide using such a service. But, we'll see. Just hope I won't stop using it quickly. :P

Also, for the game DragonNest that I'm playing. Before I wanted to put all screen caps onto G+, but now, I have made another tumblr microblog to put all my screen caps, so that my G+ won't be like a game image warehouse. After putting all images there, it's so easy to find out a special picture (FOR ME, I know people won't understand what I'm going to express unless I explain more!); I feel so good now for getting such a sweet game diary~ xD

Here I'll leave the address:

Add me if you want. :3

I just got onto Google+ yesterday. It's like FaceBook but it's much neater than FB. I love the design and the most important thing, it's Google based! I'm a big Google fan, of course! :3

However, now I'm still confused how should I use Google+, because I don't use FB that much at all. Plus, Google has a few other similar services, like orkut (don't use) and buzz (only used for shared reader stuff). Okay, I confess that I'm not a person who likes social communicating services too much. But, my problem is, I do love the interface of G+ and want to use it. OTL

Also, recently, I suddenly want to write something about my game life on DragonNest, since my screen caps folder has got more than 200 pictures. Time to clean and organize them! I always want to find a good image service that allows you upload images and people can view them in original size. But except those blog services, most microblog-like services will shrink the images and even I myself can't see the full size. That's not what I wanted! So far, after many times of searching, I gave up the idea to find out a good image service. Instead, I want to just use wordpress for uploading images (3GB and supports for hotlink), and then post them to... where? I'm not sure yet. It may be plurk, since it supports for multi images in one "thread", but plurk's interface looks too small to an image based "microblog". Though somehow I don't mind it, since you can enlarge the image and the original link will show below it.
Yet I want to use G+!!! LOL

I still need to have a good content balance between twitter, plurk, g-buzz, and G+. Okay, I know I'm really bad at using these, and maybe it's really the time to completely get rid of services that I don't use at all.

So, first I'd like to throw away twitter. It's such a dull service: limited text, bad interacting functions... the only think I like from twitter is the widget, which is decent enough to put into my blog.
Plurk, I do like its interface, but it has an ugly widget (if you're not logged in, there will be a red bar above the widget that destroy the entire balance of my blog colour scheme. *dies*)
Now, only G+ and G-buzz are left (which is normal since I'm a google fan xD). The issue is I don't know how to treat them differently. The only difference to me is the place to post. Currently, I'm linking my google reader shared items to g-buzz. I think I'll keep this, and also integrate things I used to post on twitter (especially things I saw online) into g-buzz.
The last one, the newest G+, alright, now it's time for my to-be-organized DN images. xD If g-buzz is the collection of stuff I see online from others, G+ should be a collection of my own stuff. Just a collection, not blog posts. So, G+ will probably become my online scrap book and contain mostly funny scr-caps and quick daily phrases.

How it will be? I don't know yet. I've deleted my twitter widget from my blog, and now, time to enjoy G+ and G-buzz more!!! Hope I can post my ~200 DN scr caps to G+ ASAP (ideally should done in this week, but who knows? :3)

What? You ask about my FB? That's already discarded months ago! lol
