I am at A's place! I'm housesitting, as the family is going to visit her extended family over Christmas (even though none of them really want to, not even A. Is for A's Mama's benefit, so I guess she must be pretty awesome), and someone needs to feed the animals! Which is me. It's always kinda weird to be at someone's house when they're not home, but it's nice to be given the responsibility, too.

I've also been giving free run of A's eldest's external HDs to nab shit off, so. XD;; ( Talking about tv shit )

Delivered E's bikkies, today, though she wasn't home. .o/ That's done too yay!

Tomorrow is CHRISTMAS~! :D I have to a) get up early, b) drive back home, and then c) have an awesome day!* My present is really big, I really wanna know what's in iiiiit~ :x :x :x I hope my parents like their presents~ :x

Bed now! Need to sleeeeep. >:

*hopefully. But it should be at least fun~ As long as there's no towels...

Day!

tyger: Kid's face in black, white and blue, as a flashbang goes off. (Magic Kaito/Detective Conan) (Kid - blue flashbang)
Didn't do much today. Derped around with Az, mainly. Bought foood, because I do like that eating thing. Makes living possible.

Did five pixels; up to 75. Watched DC movie #3, The Last Magician of the Century, which is fun. Was kind of railing about the fire at the end, though. ALL THAT PRICELESS STUFF! Geeze, some people are just fucking evil. :(

Kid and Conan are the best frenemies, though. :3 Really looking forward to getting up to them in the manga (and anime, though obviously that's gonna take aaages, slow torrent is really slow. Currently telling me 60 days remaining! That's pretty good, for it. =__=. It'll probably fasten up a bit once movies 1-10 are done - telling me almost 4 days, now - since I throttle the torrent during the day. But still!).
tyger: FFVII!Yuffie, grinning.  Text: Yuffie (Yuffie - :D)
Don't know what I spent most of my day doing, honestly. ¬¬;;

Have been sloooowly downloading DC; the one direct download I've found with decent .avi files takes. About 2.5 HOURS to download an ep. They're only ~250MB. (It seems to cap out at 30kbps, so.) =/ Found another place that's much faster, but they're seriously shrunk files, so they're tiny and not as nice to watch. =/ So, kind of been um-ing and ah-ing between them. (The torrent is at 0.15%, and is almost always not downloading at all, so. If anything does happen, it'll be SLOW.)

I think I'm going to try and download the better files - use the larger gap to make myself do something - but if it's, for example, the evening and I just want to watch a few episodes and knit/make pixels before bed, then download the small/quick files. (On the other hand, I kind of want to download a whole bunch of shit before the end of month downloads reset on the 3rd. Anyone got a different anime they'd rec, maybe?)

I ended up doing 10 pixels, today! :D Total is now 32. Out of 1935, siiigh. And out of 289 white ones. At least I'm more than 10% done with that? Tomorrow I'mma try and get to 45! Then I've just gotta do that 43 more times... *sigh*

Being transferring files over to Chell most of the day, too. Going to see if I leave it overnight my entire One Piece folder will transfer. Not sure if it will; it's a little 145GB all on its own, so uh. Yeaaah, might error out. BUT WE'LL GIVE IT A GO! >: Not like I'm gonna be doing anything to the computer while I'm asleep! (It's saying ~6 hours, right now, too. Will definitely be asleep that long! >:)
tyger: Vanitas fanart, looking really grumpy. (Vanitas - grumpyface)
Shiny thing, first up: got a 3TB HD! \o/ Wired, but it was only a little more than half-again for the 3TB than the 1TB portable one, so uhhhhh. Yeaaaah.

Anyway, her name is Chell, because awesome and black and it's almost like robotics. Close as I ever get, anyway. Heh. And after a quick reformat - I don't know why, but the manual was insistent, and given when I plugged her in the :( we are worried maybe try plugging it into a Windows box and dismounting it properly? message came up, I'm inclined to believe it; that's the only reason I was looking at the manual anyway. She's an upright, too, so I don't need to find a way to stack her; she fits into a corner neatly, which is nice.

But! Two rageface things.

( Cut in case you don't need rage-inducing things in your life at the moment. )

Only did 8 pixels and one row of socks, today. But I did five of the pixels while in transit into town, whee~!
tyger: Axel and Roxas eating ice cream on the clock tower.  Text: 親友 (Axel/Roxas - 親友)
Didn't do much today, either. Did write some fic, though! Only ~500 words, but. Hey. Writing is good.

Played some 3D, did some translation, got my next rec post coded and into tumbles, FINALLY YAY - I've had to put the queue back to 2/day, because I can't keep with with 4/day AND work, blarghface. Though maybe that'd change if I was there long enough to get used to it; right now it's just TOO MANY THINGS IN MY BRAIN, if that makes sense.

Also I bought some games! :D I got directed to The Humble Indie Bundle 5, which is a pay-what-you-want pack, including Psychonaughts, which I've heard great things about, and Bastion, which Madb has been raving about, if you pay more than the average (currently less than $8USD!). So, awesome games, super cheap, DRM free with eternal dl links, Windows/Mac/Linux, if you pay more than a dollar you can download them through Steam, OSTs included... hard to say no to, given that I do have the money to get them. :3 Some of the costs go to charity, too, which is. Kinda amazing, really, heh. Anyway, I haven't managed to start any today - page, and also Sibling wanted essays looked at, and also Korra, and then Aqua's been REALLY SLOW, so I probably need to reset sometime soon. Have started shutting things down! Just need to get everything sorted. So, maybe will start one tomorrow after work. :3

...dun wanna go to work. Working is cruel. Why do we have to do it? (...this is exacerbated by my 8:30 start time and lack of the thing I'm SUPPOSED to do, but. You know. *siiiiigh*)

Bleh.

Didn't do much today, at all. But I'm not feeling up to freaking out about it. Have reached the 'meh whatever' stage again. ^^;; Maa, maybe it'll be better tomorrow.

Did find, download and watch the canon One Piece movie, which was... well, kind of like essence of OP, both the good and bad points. (There are a lot really good things about OP! But the fail is really really bad.) Also watched its prequel thing, which managed to be half about Roger without actually saying anything about Roger a;gsdgj; fffff. Odacchi is a SUPER GIANT TEASE and I want to punch him a lot.

Also, speaking of essence of OP, One Piece in Six Minutes [youtube]. Which is, well, what it says on the tin. Obviously kind of spoilery! But also possibly worth watching if you're on the fence about it? Iono, I only saw it afterwards, so.

Am downloading the anime, episode by episode. It's a challenge! |D There's over 400 episodes, after all. But they're all in an easy-to-access place with Megaupload links, so it's not too bad. If I make it through it all maybe I'll do the same with Conan! ^^; ...I still need to finish watching Slayers, too. And Tiger and Bunny sounds like it'll be my thing, though I'm trying to wait 'till it ends and watch the whole thing in one run. As I do. ...and other things, but, you know. Let's not aim for too much at once. Heh.

Going to go read some stuff for thesis now. Then maybe watch OP ep. 1 before bed, depending on how quick I get braindead.
tyger: Demyx.  Text: Pain is nothing that a downpour won't erase (Demyx - Pain is nothing/That a downpour )
OKAY SO. I'm seriously considering just shoving all my music online somewhere so I can just push people towards it when I find out the don't have ___ holy shit. Good idea y/n?

Also, if yes, what kinda music you want me to upload first? Because I'm totally not uploading 30 gig at a stretch, not even I'm that stupid.

(Speaking of uploaded music! Machine Head - Message In A Bottle. This cover. It is so brilliant I'm not sure whether or not I like it or the original better. And I really like Sting.
This is the sort of thing the band usually does, for comparison. (Also, AWESOME, but they're very different sorts of awesome, so.)

Music sharing o'clock again! :D
Today it's Black Gold's Rush (Mastered). It sat on my desktop in a zip long enough I don't remember who I got it from, but it was probably [livejournal.com profile] evilsimon, or maybe [livejournal.com profile] jelliclekat. Pop-Rock? Upbeat and bouncy, but not exactly dripping in princess fluff.
