Anime Trading LAN on June 22nd
copyright? what copyrights? its japanese
Quoting Melchior from the KSU Anime Society Forums:"... We are having an anime trading LAN at Lorain County Community College on June 22nd though, so if you can make that you might be able to get it there too. Email me and I can get you the details, or you can check out there forums, although you do have to register for them to see any posts."
Time to buy some hard drives, CD-Rs, or DVD-Rs and get a ton of anime for next school year!

A surprising surprise
So Spirited Away got the Oscar for best animated picture. Everyone
thought that Lilo and Stitch or that stupid horse movie would win, but anime
has actually pulled through. Spirited Away definately deserves it
though. People were sure that the Oscar would go to a Disney movie
because, well...Disney is Disney. Besides, everyone in the world now
hates America, so why not feel good about ourselves and give us an award
that means nothing at all. Wait, Disney owns the U.S.A. rights to
Spirited Away, so I guess it all works out. I've seen the beginning of
Spirited Away, and it's pretty cool. You would need a DVD to watch it,
because I doubt a fansub would do the movie's graphics justice. Jo
tried to rip it but forgot we don't speak Japanese and couldn't get the
subtitles. Baka.
Jo's new website design is up, you can
see it at http://www.krhainos.tk. I was going to rant about some picture of
a girl slitting her wrists on DeviantArt, but I realized it would make me
look like a jackass so even though its a fake picture and I don't like it,
I'm not going to go off about it. I had to buy a new battery for my
laptop, because the old one stopped working, and its not very useful without
a battery. It just stopped one day, quite the gay. By the way,
if anyone wants to buy my laptop for about |

Boring Weekends
Hey, I think this picture is cool, so it's going to be on the left side
of the webpage until I think of something else to put here. I had to
write something or all my loyal fans would think that I have died or
something. I can't really think of anything, so I'll just write about
what's up. Last weekend I did nothing. It was great. I
didn't have to go to a LAN Party or do massive essays or clean a lot of crap
up. I could sleep in. I could play
Quake 3 Arena all day if I wanted
too. I was free. Friday night was the anime club I always go
to, because I have nothing better to do on Friday nights...nice to know a
lot of other people don't as well. Dan and Mike didn't show up, but it
was still fun. Went to dinner at subway with most of the club, and
then Mark's dorm room afterwards. Joe Yash and him played yugioh while
I looked through his anime music videos. We decided to make our
own...yeah, I'll let you know how that turns out. We were out really
late, like 2am. I went to breakfast with my dad at the Stow Cafe
Saturday morning. So much for sleeping in. They make the best
breakfast sandwich there. It's scrambled eggs, cheese, and bacon all
in a croissant bun that is awesome, and I hadn't had it in forever. I
really enjoyed it. After breakfast, I played some games and played
online, waiting for people to wake up. Doing nothing sucks! I
was awake for like 6 hours before anyone else. Finally, Jo came online
and a little later we went to best buy. Best Buy sucks. We
always go for some reason, but you always get there and it's the same old
stuff at the same high prices. The good thing was that we ran into Dan
and Tim there and ended up at a makeshift LAN Party at my house. When we walked into the house, though, my mom said "hey!
you guys can move my couches into the basement." Oh great, sorry guys.
We moved the couches out the front door and all around the ice patches to
the back door, it sucked. My mom's getting new couches on Tuesday...ok
so that's yesterday, and the big couch went into my room. Looked kinda
crappy at the LAN, but I fixed it up after everyone left and it looks cool
now. I'll get pictures up at the end of the week. I didn't have
my camera there. Codex and Trewr seemed kinda mad they weren't
invited...but this wasn't your normal LAN Party. It kinda ended as
soon as it began, but we all had fun, I think. Woke up Sunday morning
to go to the computer show in Akron.
By myself. It was ok, a lot easier to get around by yourself, so it
didn't take me long. RAM is really cheap right now. Unlike gas.
Damn war. This had better not affect Quakecon, is all I have to say. Wait, wasn't I supposed to sleep
in this weekend. Oh well, I haven't slept in late for like a month, so
I don't miss it anymore. I upped my RAM to 512MB as well, a necessity
these days. Or I couldn't let Yash have more RAM than me. haha.
Spent the rest of the day getting a bigass cake from Yash and working.
Then it's back to school. So hard doing nothing these days. Oh,
and I guess if you guys want, we could watch some anime movies at my house
on Friday, since anime club is cancelled. Tell me if you're
interested.

Stuff
OMG I am so mad right now. You see, I had this rant all written out and 3/4 of the way finished. BAM! Blue Screen. Thanks a lot Windows. Windows XP Pro has been really bitchy to me lately. You don't often see a computer like mine blue-screening while typing. Maybe if it was Morteus's Computer.. It all started at JelOH while I was playing Doom on my SNES Emulator. Holy Crap is that game fun using a gamepad, its a whole new Doom. But on E1M3, it blue screened and wouldn't boot for like 10 minutes. Once I got it to boot, it insisted on running scandisk as slow as it possibly could. It took 2.5 HOURS to scan my 100gb hard drive. Luckily, they were still playing CS or Natural Selection or something, so I didn't care. Jo and Tim took the opportunity to play a game of Q3 without me though. Bastards. I helped Tim out a little because Jo is getting much better and was owning. Did I just say Jo was owning? Congrats, Jo! Anyways, my computer is a bitch and I might do the classic sell-everything-buy-better thing that everyone these days is doing. Microsoft Longhorn is the devil (See why here).
The new shoutbox technically works, but it throws out a lot of errors. I made it all black so you can't see it unless you highlight it. Hopefully that will work by next weekend. You have to scroll all the way to the bottom, and then click the expand button to post. Knock yourselves out. The only rule I have is no posting under other peoples names.
JelOH was ok, other than my computer having the problems I
mentioned above. It started with me driving past Fred Fuller park at
50mph in a 25mph zone. It's awesome how Fred Fuller Park never has any
cops around. Shit, there's a cop. You expect me to stop?
Hell No. The light ahead is green, so the light in my head is green
too. I shoot around the corner and fly to Kent State University before
I even see him pull out. (I knew he had seen me) Hiding in the
Tri-Towers parking lot, I bought some food for the LAN and proceeded to go
there. Haha Cop, I win. The LAN started slowly with a lot of CS,
which I didnt really care for. I talked to Big Ed while he was there,
a whole 20min. He got a new pickup truck. Its not the same Ed
without the blue neon-ness! Then my computer died.. 3 hours
later it was back to
normal.
Played some Natural Selection. I was on the alien team the whole night
and the first round, I rushed them as a weakling, before they could get
their gun sentries up. I took out the entire team and won the game 1
minute into it. Normally the game takes hours to finish, but I am so
l33t that I single-handedly won. Ever see Monty Python's Holy Grail?
Imagine me as the killer rabbit, thats what it looked like. No one
could hit me. It ruled. Later, in the new game I used the weak
alien again and managed to dodge every single sentry and slide my way past
all their team to their command center and I destroyed it myself. It
didn't win the game, but boy were they f'ing surprised. I am so good
at the little alien its not even funny. Jo helped me
stealth my
drives, which looks hella awesome.
The KSU Anime club is meeting 6-10 Friday nights and they are showing Azumanga Daioh, which is an awesome comedy about some "average" schoolgirls. You should come check it out. They are showing it because I brought it in one night when we couldn't watch Jungle Wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu. I have the whole series if people are interested. Actually, BobOmega has it too, so ask him :D
