  • One hundred seventy first entry - huh...? 2006-07-31 23:34:19 Time - 10:18, Noise - Silent Hill 2 OST - "True"

    Uh... SuperFusion... did I do something to offend you? You seem to be trying to antagonize me, and I'm not really sure why. Getting weird quick comments doesn't make me angry. It just confuses me. In fact, trying to antagonize me at all is really more confusing than anything.

    However... if this is your version of playful banter, then I have to say that I'm still lost. I get the feeling that you only did this because you happened to see my username pop up one day in the journals.

    Anywho, uh... I'm terrible at multi-tasking, so I'm going to end this here and go back to IRC.

    Nighty night, loves.

  • One hundred seventieth entry - stupid fucker... 2006-07-31 18:08:55 Time - 4:50, Noise - Final Fantasy VII - "Beyond Midgar (OC remix)"

    You know, I usually get along with my brother just fine, but he's being a really stupid fucker today. Last night, one of his friends was making a joke about him dating my best friend - which everyone knows will obviously not happen. Just kidding around with him, I said that if he ever did, I would kick his ass.

    Just a few minutes ago, I was making a comment about certain people composing the music for a videogame. He said it wasn't true, and got all pissy with me about it. So, I responded with the expected, "geez, you didn't have to snap at me." He said, "well, consider it payback for last night." I didn't have a damn clue what he was referring to, so he mentioned what I had said about him dating my friend. I told him that I was just kidding - again - and he still insisted that it was something that didn't need to be said.

    I don't think he realizes that getting all fucking defensive about it makes him seem even more suspicious. So, I told him that, and he called me paranoid. Excuse me? I mean, what the hell? I think he's just being an asshole today.

    Aaaaand... I'm definitely not joining the Japan Revolution MEP now. The coordinator just proved what a pretentious bitch he/she is. I don't appreciate people who say no to an editor just based on what editing program they used. For fuck's sake, list any editing program and I'll find you a good video edited with it. Seriously, I mean it.

    Now I'm just pissed off again. Damn it. Sure hope my brother doesn't try to talk to me anytime soon.

  • One hundred sixty ninth entry - of my best interests...? 2006-07-30 16:20:26 Time - 2:47, Noise - Final Fantasy IV - "Absolution in White (OC remix)"

    So... I got myself some remixes to tide me over for a while. I only found a few from Kingdom Hearts, but I'll keep searching.

    You know, I'm in a really bad mood today, and I'm not sure why. I woke up late, and then I didn't want to get out of bed at all. I just know that I'm going to end up snapping at someone today. I took a shower a little while ago, hoping that that might soothe my nerves, and I think it helped, at least a bit.

    Listening to these remixes has made me want to work on some of my own, but none of the projects I have started right now are particularly promising. My best one is a medley between the music of two games, but it's not very impressive. I mean, I've been listening to this music, and it just doesn't seem like anything close to what I'm doing right now. Of course, it could be a difference in programs, but FruityLoops seems like it's capable of some good stuff to me. It's probably just me. Just like my video editing is subpar, my music creation isn't much better.

    You know... it's kind of upsetting. The things I enjoy doing the most are the things I'm not very skilled at - well, with the exception of one thing. I like editing, making music, and sketching, but I'm not particularly good at any of the three. In fact, the only thing that I really enjoy doing that I AM good at is writing - and that reaches such a small audience that I wonder if it even matters. Now, I know what everyone will say at this point: "you should be making things for yourself, not anyone else." Truthfully, I DO. It's just that there's only so long that the things I make will entertain me for - and that's when I think it'll be fun to share it with others.

    Of my interests, though, I haven't even shared two of them. I have had a deviantart account since June 3 of 2004, but I've never uploaded a piece of artwork. Also, since I have never finished a song, I have never shared my remixes with anyone. I have posted four of my stories on AFF and have uploaded all of my videos to the .org.

    Yergh... I don't know what to do. I think I'm going to load up FL and see if I can get some interesting song started. Maybe.

  • One hundred sixty eighth entry - renewing my efforts 2006-07-29 23:38:02 Time - 10:14, Noise - Masashi Hamauzu - "Coi Vanni Gialli"

    So I decided to renew my efforts in downloading the entirety of the top ten percent. I was doing it a few months back, but I stopped for a while. After starting it up again, I'm down to video #140. Basically, I'm just curious to as what sorts of videos made the list. Most of them are really good, but there are a few where you can tell that they made the list just because they used a popular anime, or were some of the first videos for a particular anime.

    Still, it's a good list of videos. I intend to watch them all. Well, most of them, anyway. There are always going to be a few stragglers at the end that get bumped off and put back on, as well as the videos that aren't available anymore.

    I watched 'Save the Last Dance' last night. It's a really predictable movie, but it's okay. Kind of a chick flick, really. I'm not really into a lot of movies like that, but I had seen that particular movie before, so I didn't mind catching it on TV. I was so bored last night - just didn't feel like doing anything. I guess that's why I'm downloading AMVs in mass tonight. Gives me something to do.

    On a different note, I should try to look for some sites with OC remixes of Kingdom Hearts music. The idea of KH remixes always interested me, but I haven't heard any. I heard a weird version of the Organization XIII theme (which Yoko Shimomura - the composer - supposedly wrote herself) in an AMV recently, but I haven't heard anything like it since.

    I've been craving new music in general as of late. Remixes of game music, mostly. Haven't heard a lot of good stuff floating around.

    Hmm... what else was I going to say? Oh, I forget now. Probably just something about Japanese made games being anime, but I'm tired of that argument. I'd rather go watch some good AMVs and clear my brain. Although... *yawn* ... I'm a bit tired. z_z

    Nighty night, loves.

  • One hundred sixty seventh entry - thoughts on AMVs... 2006-07-28 20:41:54 Time - 7:08, Noise - Loveless OST - "Michiyuki"

    So like... I watched 'Jihaku' again, since it came up in a Super Search. I hadn't seen it in a long time, so I got it. And it occured to me... that video sucks. I'm not kidding you. I really don't understand how it won four categories in the VCAs - the most prestigious of which was "Video of the Year." It had fast editing, but despite what everyone else seems to think, it really doesn't have a concept.

    I don't know. A lot of people are probably going to think I'm crazy for not liking it, but I don't, and I don't think it deserved the awards it got.

    No offense to Tyler_yj, naturally. He's made some good stuff, but that one just isn't what everyone makes it out to be.

    Anyway, I find myself being more generous with my star ratings lately. I'm not sure why, but I've been handing out a lot of fours to videos that I normally only give threes to. In an odd counterpoint, my opinions are getting harsher. They're also getting shorter. I've all but dropped my normal intro, simply because I didn't feel like doing it anymore.

    On another note, I don't suppose I can get anyone to give me a free opinion on The Chosen Two, can I? Can I? I hate having nine opinions. I like nice, round numbers - like ten. *nod nod* That's why I don't want to give anymore opinions. I hate to ruin that nice, perfect one hundred I have going. Okay, so just kidding about the last part. It's actually my goal to eventually make it onto the "Most Opinions" list. Stupid goal, I know, and I have a long way to go before I can get anywhere near it. Still, unless this site mysteriously goes down for good, I might just make it there.

    Let's see... life is boring, as usual. I was offered a babysitting job last night, but I absolutely detest children. I'm not taking care of a three-year-old. No thanks. I have never babysat before, nor do I ever intend to. If my siblings have children and want to visit, they're just going to have to get them put in a kennel like all of the other mongrels. : /

    I think that's everything for now. I should be editing, but hell if I'll ever actually get around to it.

    See ya, folks.
