Comments on The Hollow Man

mrr, grr, or prr: 
amused
Sometimes I love watching movies with my mother. We watched The Hollow Man as it was on TV tonight. It engaged us halfway through, but towards the end my mother kept saying "this is shit!" over and over again.
Its a film about a guy who gets injected with an invisible science liquid, then goes on a killing rampage as he goes insane. They torch him, spray him with ice cold liquids, electrocute him, and he still doesn't die. Once that stuff began to happen and he kept coming back, my mother declared the film unrealistic and shit. I agree with her.
Her final comment "What a load of bollocks!" during the credits. Ah well, it was amusing anyway. I don't think I've seen my mother get that angry at a film in some time. And it makes me smile.

Well, not really.
Anyway, I have been playing "Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney" since I picked it up on Thursday this week. I've played through the first four cases (which are just fancy touch-DS ported versions of the GBA game that was never released outside of Japan) and now I am playing the fifth one. I will more than likely have finished it by tomorrow.
But yeah, this game is awesome. You wouldn't think a game about a lawyer would be fun, but it really is! Not to mention the main character is very likable and amusing (and a bit of a goofball to boot). I already have an idea in mind for a short fanfiction, but eh, would need to keep going through the game to see if there's any canon coupling and so forth. But yeah, if you own a Nintendo DS, I really recommend it. It got me hooked. And I would happily put it on my favourite games list among the Sonic titles and FFVII. Which is saying quite a bit.
I can't say I ever liked a Capcom game before, but in a way I am happy they've done it. Because Capcom make sequels like crazy (just look at how many Megamans and Street Fighter 2 incarnations there are). There's already a third NDS Phoenix Wright game coming. The second was only released a few months ago.
But yeah, I really like it. The characters are also quite, quite cute.

Additional: WTF?

Additional Material: I am... stunned. Shocked even.
I just looked up 'poojabber' on Google, it was a word we used to use in our childhoods liberally. It was a funny non-harmful insult, usually designed to irritate the other person.
Example: "Shut up, you poojabber!"
I had no idea it was related to homosexuality.

What an utter dissapointment. Another fun seemingly innocent insult turned gay. =(

Blagh x 10.

mrr, grr, or prr: 
aggravated
Blagh, when did Livejournal start looking like this? It's kinda... evil. How disturbing.
/katmari reference.
Blargh. >_< I am annoyed as heck right now. See, my 'new' bed is uncomfortable and there's a dang bar in the middle killing my back. I don't know how my brother was able to stand it.
Lemme explain this properly.
My brother moved out yesterday, which is technically two days ago as the time clicked over and it's now a new day. At first I was neutral to the decision - we all grow up and move out of home some day, sure enough. And my brother is doing it to make room for this Gina-girlfriend lady that's coming to stay with us in late May. I dunno how I feel abotu that really, I don't know who she is. It's gonna be a bit awkward there. I claimed his room (its bigger than mine, and not right next door to the bathroom, so you don't get attacked by shitty toilet smell), and thus gained the loft bed within.
But now that my brother's actually gone, it's... weird. He's only like... drive to the end of my street, make a left, make a right at the roundabout, travel down the road to the next roundabout, make a left, go halfway down the street, make a right, make a right, follow the street to the end and there's the house he's living in now (that distance is about near a kilometer or so for those who want the actual distance), but it's still weird. Even more weird is the fact he's living with somebody who was in my grade during primary/high school (he left in year 10).
It's gonna be hard to get used to. I should be selfish and go "har har this be my stuff now and I can be annoying". But eh. My mother's being DANG annoying listening in on my every move. It's freakin creepy. Then when I move from one room to another, she asks "oh you're there now, are you?" Grrrr. WHY YES. I AM. WHEREVER I GO, THERE I ARE. X_X Jee-ziddly, stop freekin bugging me!!
I can almost see why he moved out. With my brother gone, my mother won't stop stalking me. It's really annoying. O__O I am usually a pretty low key person, I keep to myself most of the time, do my own thing, and I an content doing that. I love my alone time. But... to have it encroached on every five minutes asking me if I want anything... NO I DON'T IM PERFECTLY FINE, THANKS. Now she's banging on the wall outside of my room, doing god knows what. I'm buggered if I know why.
Generally also, I also get kinda edgy when my mother walks into my room (my current, not my new one). I dunno, it's just got my stuff in, and it feels like its mine. You can move your stuff in when I've moved mine out, but stop doing stuff in here while I'm still arranging crap, okay? BLARGH. She's just.... really really annoying. She has nothing else to do, so she keeps coming to find me, and bugging me asking if I want anything, or just asking if I'm there. LOLZ I SHULD SAI NO ONE DAY EKS DEE.
Oh, as for the bed in the new room, I lay on it for about ten minutes or so. There's... a bar jabbing me in the back. Maybe I'm noticing it because I'm too awake, but eh. I'll give it another chance later on. For the meantime though, it's uncomfortable. And climbing up/down that thing every time is a little annoying.
I'll get used to it all in time I suppose. As for my brother, I will miss him, but I am not depressed or emo that he's moved out. It's good to get out in the world for yourself. And not be asked where you are every two to five minutes.

Kick me for never updating this
Feb. 8th, 2007 | 05:05 pm
mrr, grr, or prr: 
discontent
So yeah, I never update this. Ever. And I suck for that.
I don't know what last things I reported, but eh...
My brother's moving out. He announced it this week. I don't know how I feel about that. Happy for the fact he'll stop stealing my food (which he doesn't much anyway, he mostly steals my soda), not really happy for the fact that he's just... leaving. Fair enough, we all have to leave home someday and this day was coming forever. But eh. He's hardly ever here as is anyway, so it's not like there will be too much of a difference. And he's moving only a few streets away, so it's not like he's OMGLEEVING forever. I dunno what to say about it really. I get a free loft bed and a desk and I don't have to be in this tiny pokey room any more, but eh. I dunno what to say.
Also started college/TAFE this week again. I don't know how I am going to balance it with work, but we all manage somehow in the end. I have car payments coming up again, and I'll be happy to get rid of them. So yeah, not really in the best of moods, but not depressed. Just kinda numb and unhappy. It's weird. I think "discontent" best fits it.
Woo.
Additional: Shivaeru arrived earlier this year and I am SO pleased with her. She is a dragony ball of love and evil.

A Rant About Postal Stuff
Nov. 30th, 2006 | 05:18 am
mrr, grr, or prr: 
crushed
Greetings LJ readers,
I wish I had something happier to post, but...
I haven't been this upset over an inanimate object in a long, long time. But this post is is just a general note to serve as a warning to random readers if you do mailing or so forth. I honestly hope my experiences never happen to anyone else, especially if somebody is mailing you something that would have been absolutely treasured.
Never ever use Sea Shipping as a post option. Don't care about how much cheaper it makes things - just... do not use it. Even if it knocks $10, $20 off the shipping price, just... never ever use it, its just not worth the heartache. It's the most unreliable and useless postal method that exists. And there is a higher than normal chance that your package will never reach you.
This has happened to me now, not once, but twice (two out of two times people have sent things to me by sea mail too, NOT a good track record!!). My most recent loss to it hurts the most - My BabyLondonStar custom-created Shivaeru plush has been lost to it's void, she's been lost in the mail somewhere along the way. She's not coming. It's been 12 weeks now, sea shipping is only supposed to take 4 - 6 weeks.
Oh, incase you were wondering what this lost treasure looked like: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/398
(DO NOT send the artist DA notes about this issue - she knows and I am currently discussing it with her privately.)
This is NOT the first time it has happened, either. Back in December 2005,![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
locita had an eBay seller in the US mail me the entire Death Gate Cycle book series. The eBay seller sent them by sea mail to save a few bucks on shipping. After four, six weeks, it seemed like the package was never going to turn up.
They eventually did however - in June 2006. And some were mising (my friend had bid on a complete set to have sent to me and some were missing I think?). The package-box they came in was... CRUSHED, and the remaining contents were stuffed haphazardly inside of a US Postal bag (they were eBayed as new books too, I think? Don't remember that one... but when they arrived to me, chunks and scuffs had been taken out of them). Because the receive-time was over 90 days, the auction went stale and was deleted from eBay's archives, so that eBay user could not even get a negative feedback comment or a warning about the crappy postage option he had chosen.
What hurts even more with the case of my Shivaeru plush, is that if I had KNOWN the artist was trying to save money on shipping, I would have PAID the extra postage charges to them just so it could be air-mailed. To add insult to injury, there's no tracking on the package. So I don't know where the heck it is, and there's no point going to my local post office about it because they have no way of tracking it down. It's essentially vanished into a void.
I'm just torn up and really upset over it, more than I should be probably. I don't want a refund. I just want my Shivaeru plush. If she ever turns up, even four months later in the same state my books did, I'd at least be a little happier. But right now, it just seems.... hopeless.
So yeah, never ever use the Sea Mail shipping option, because two out of two packages going AWOL is not something anyone should have to deal with, ever.
Sometimes however, Sea Mail people think "Australia" is "Austria". That actually happens so much that Australia has a section in the GPO to deal with that, I think...
Blargh.

RP character bitching
Nov. 18th, 2006 | 03:29 am
mrr, grr, or prr: 
exhausted
Fweh.
I love Roleplaying. Don't get me wrong! I have like, ten developed dragon characters, a regular 'boring' human, a very favoured character, a bunch of OC offspring from said character, and a few A/U incarnations of that character himself, as well as supporting cast that got developed. If you count OCs, dragons, said character and its A/U incarnations, that's approx 32 characters in total. So yeah, I like my roleplays.
Not so recently (like, back in March), I got involved in Gaia Online, which is not so bad, until I stumbled across the Breedable/Changable pets area, which is basically the Neopetted forum version of Gaia, only the "pets" are user-created, user drawn, and the shops that sell them are user-governed. Nothing there is "Gaia Online intellectual property official" aside from the items and Gold you pay to get artwork/Certificates of said pets.
Now, because I still like one paticular character in question (and probably always will), I was willing and highly tempted to take on a version of him at an RP shop I visit on Gaia. I won him in an auction, I slapped an A/U background on him to fit the setting and whey-hey, Kat can now RP this A/U incarnate at the shop! Now again, I've no problem with the RPing. But when people expect me to RP said chara to their perception? Computer says NO.
This is probably why you shouldn't take on an existing character, rather just invent more useless OCs to RP. Okay, sure once, I used to like the character differently and aimed for a different take on him, but those days of Kat's fandom are long over. I prefer accuracy to "omg this is cute" any day of the week.
But where do people get off thinking that the character in question is automatically gay / lovable / in-love with some character that he doesn't know?
Also, if my character is angry, it does NOT necessarily reflect how I feel. IC is not OOC/RPmeister behind it. So, if my RP chara is angry and its justified in the setting, its within his characterization to fly off the handle, lunge out and punch the crap out of people. And then I'm accused of being angry/violent towards the RPer? LOLWHUT?
If you can't deal with the fact that I RP a sarcastic asshole of a character, whom is hot tempered and easily driven into punching people in the face, then don't RP with me.
Geh...
I fear what will happen if I purchase an A/U Edward Elric incarnate to RP there. Somebody would probably request to RP him getting bumraped by Roy Mustang. Which really sucks, because after watching FMA, I really want to pick one of their characters up at some point. Ah well.
End this pointless rant.

mewlings: Sprit In The Sky - Gareth Gates
BUGGER NETGEARS UP THE ARSE WITH A BENT STICK SIDEWAYS.
Netgear routers. Never invest in them, they're fucking useless. I was gifted a WGR614v4 Netgear wireless router by Jenn (which I really appreciate, was a really nice gesture), and it worked great for the first few months of it's initiation. Then, it began to spazz a bit. It would drop out, causing "This Page Cannot Be Displayeds" on IE, and my messengers would drop out, and my P2P apps would go to 0kb/s. Thought nothing of it at first, but when it became more and more frequent, my patience got thinner and thinner. Thought, yeah, the internet is probably screwy. Called Optusnet, they got a dude out to look. Serious street problem, they fixed it. They gave me an inhibitor device and never came back to get it again.
Thought everything was OK again. Dropping out returned. Called Optusnet again. They blamed the router. Gave up and tried playing with that. Nada. Called em again, same thing. Disconnected the router, still got dropping out. Let this go on for a week. Called Optusnet again, they finally sent out a tech dude.
Techy Support Guy from Optus: *mumblemumble* There's an inhibitor on this thing... *takes it off and leaves* Btw, guys are gonna look at the street.
Uh huh. That was last... Friday? Reconnected Netgear router. Dropping out returned. Finally said "fuck this crap" and bought a new one, a WGT624v3. Yesterday. Connected that up and guess what? DROPPING OUT X 1000. It was fine last night, but this morning? Ich... either there's something wrong with my compy (and it's an excuse to reformat), or Netgear routers in general are just general banes of existance in little plastic cases.
So I called Netgear Australia's tech support number. The guy ran me through the configuration process, and blamed the ethernet cables. What the fuck?
Thanked him, hung up. Netgear got even more ditchy. So I've ditched it for the time being. Too cranky right now.
So yeah, my advice? Don't buy any kind of Netgear router if you can help it.

UPDATE OMG.
So yeah, Kat is playing the "hunt down triggers" game with the dietician I saw on Thursday. For my two week challenge, I have to eliminate fructose/fructans (element of wheat that breaks down into fructose and glucose). Which will suck immensely if it turns out that I am sensitive to fructose. I love my wheat/sugar based nummies, it will suck SO SO bad if I am not allowed to indulge in them any more.
I am seeing a little improvement though. Perhaps I just need to moderate... blagh.

Which will suck immensely if it turns out that I am sensitive to fructose. I love my wheat/sugar based nummies, it will suck SO SO bad if I am not allowed to indulge in them any more.
I am seeing a little improvement though. Perhaps I just need to moderate... blagh.

Rant - I'm so sick of people's ignorance.

Well now that I've written about it publically, I suppose it's time to begin ranting. I'm sick of trying to explain to people that I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I wish I had an information card to hand out for all the times I get asked "eww, what's that?". Educating people is fine a lot of the time, there are a lot of understanding people in this world. Unfortunately, there are also a lot of ignorant people who only think of how much of an inconvenience I am to them. Or, that I am just using my IBS as an excuse to avoid them because I don't want to see them.

Kick me for not updating this thing more often, rawr. I'm not sure how long ago I last updated this, but ah well.
Anyway, life update. Kat is back at work and college now, though some days are still iffy. After all the chaos that happened around the beginning to the middle of this year, it was discovered that I have IBS (Irritable Bowel Sydrome), D type. Same as my grandmother of 92 years old has. Lucky, lucky me. It's triggered by fats, and hard fibers (the hull casings from grain, wheat, etc). This is still livable, but it's made my everyday diet really really boring. No more pizza, KFC, or McDonalds for this kitty. Nothing but plain vegetables, rices, pastas and fat free meats. Have I been obeying this? Not completely. I push the line every few days and try to eat things with a bit of taste. It doesn't always work out, but eh. What ever does?
So yeah, that's what is up with me now. I am back at work, doing around 4 - 10 hours a week. It's not much, but it's something. At least, while I am doing college it's convenient.
Can't think of much more to say for this morning.

Sucky RP people on Gaia.
This is for a Soquili (horse pet) contest. I read through some of the entries and put in my own rambling piece of text. But some of the other entries are just... well... shit. Here, this is what some random knobhead wrote:
-------------------------------
One winder day among the cold and misty snow was a little bird who was traped near a frozen cold pond the bird couldnt survive any longer infact it was on its last legs drooping down nearly on deaths doors the little bird glimpsed up to see a beutiful creature its purple main blowing in the wind and its shimering eyes filled with stars from the midnight sky as the creature got closer the bird realised it was a creature from the gods a soquili but most of all this was no ordanary soquili but infact a amethyst.
Her beaming smile melted the snow as the snow melted the little bird got up and flew and sat on the soquili her purple fealthers with full of care wraped around the little bird and started to heat the bird up as the winter passed the big motherly amethyst cared for the little bird as its own and in the hot summer days played with the bird her big hoofs dug into the grass making a heart shape the little bird flew to the eadge of a cliff and fainted in mid air the amethyst ran to save the bird and jumped of the cliff her wings came before her which she didnt know she had them because they were hidden under her tummy she glided down and down trying to save the bird he fealthers on her wings glimpesed the sun and reflected to all the other soquilis the soquilis maniged to save the little bird.
The other soquilis started to make a rainbow in the sky but there was one missing as amethyst flew up into the sky with little bird she made the rainbow complete she was in the middle and showed the rainbow to the world so everytime to see a rainbow remember the story of amethyst and birdi
-------------------------------
I don't even like RPing horses, let alone RPing them with morons (turn them all into dog food I say!!), but blah... if I win, I will laugh.
Ah well, posted for amusement. Stupid and sad it is. I don't give a crap about the story of amethyst and birdi and will punch somebody in the face next time I see a rainbow.

Such a strange cat I have....

mrr, grr, or prr: annoyed
So, I own a Kyo beanie hat. It looks just like this: http://www.toysnjoys.com/fruitsbasket/k
I was wearing it just now because I was cold and hadn't worn it since I got it (and since it was missing since I got it). In any case, my cat tiredly ambled into the room to sit in her chair. She took one look at my Kyo hat and immediately raised the hairs up on her back and tail, adopting the defensive cat posture. Took me a moment to work out what the heck she was doing. So I took the hat off and showed it to her, and then she backed away from it like the coward she is. Now the Kyo Hat is just sitting ontop of her.
Silly Codie... weirdo.
Ah well... there's never a dull moment when you own pets..

Kat wants to respond with "dump both males and buy yourself a 'self-love' tool", or "Go ahead and leave, I don't give a shit". You don't need to leave a site to work on your love life, the baka. I sure as hell didn't, even through all the pathetic excuses for a 'boyfriend' I had (and ended up wanting to kill). If I gave up the internet to persue love, I'd end up a really sad pathetic mook. The concept of leaving all your friends behind for a boyfriend sure as HELL won't sit right with them either.
Eh.
Ah well, laugh at this moron.

Kat visits many forums. Some of them are amusing. Some stupid. And sometimes, I get random messages like this in my Private Messages inbox:
It's no fair that panda bear on your head. So my mom gave me cream and bread and I hate cream but I ate it and I said to my mom I hate cream cheese so she was all ok and she changed it to shaving cream and so I ate it and then when I went to school there was foam in my mouth so my teacher thought I had ravys and so my teacher was all yo you need to go to the nurse 'cause you have ravys and I'm all no I don't and he was all ya so I'm all no and hes all ya and he pushed me into the nurses office and shes all omg get away from me you have ravys and I'm all no I don't and shes all ya you do and then she sent me home and my mom took me to a doctor and the doctor said I'm fine but my mom sued the doctor and then they found out I didn't have ravys and I was happy and then my mom and the doctor ran off and got married and now I have 17 step brothers and step sisters.

Make of it what you want to, but I do not even know how to begin responding to that.

Hooray I have money again! Hehe. My bank paid me out my holiday pay, so I've killed all my final debts (for the time being) and can now concentrate on patching up the giant savings hole I left in my interest bearing deposit savings account. I can also actually refuel my car again for the first time in about 5 weeks. I'm actually surprised that I managed to get everywhere that I needed to using only 30 litres of fuel in five weeks, though (I have a 40L tank). The needle on the dashboard says that my car's tank has just under 1/4 left too, so there's still a bit left. The environmentalists would be proud of me. Ah well, I'll be sure to take off my car's muffler and fuel regulator so that tons of burning fuel smoke gets chalked into the air once I'm working again. *grin*
But still, it's finally nice to see the other side of this chaos. It really wore me down for a long period of time.
