It happens to me a lot. I understand, people love me. Give the public what the way, etc. etc.
So The Time Traveler's Wife is coming along quite nicely. It's rather interesting...also rather...15+?
I was quite surprised when it got to the sex scene actually. I didn't expect it to be that visual. But ah well, that one paragraph was probably the most exotic material I've ever read, but I doubt, as long as I continue to read this, that it will stay that way.
I've looked at the cover of the book more often than I've read it, due to certain people distracting me and taking my life away. Very good at it, might I add.


On an unrelated and never before mentioned topic, I have my pudding enduced eyes set on a new camera I may be able to purchase shortly. Hoorah !
For all you people wondering how much of a noob I am, Olympus FE-20. That is the limit of my price range. But who knows, in the next few weeks I might hit up a brothel and we'll see how many hoes I mug.

I finally finished The Book Thief.
I didn't get a chance to finish I Am The Cheese - it belonged to the school, and we had to hand all our books in before the holidays.
Got bored with Diary of a Teenage Girl.
But the other day I bought "The Time Traveler's Wife", which has been on my list for only a short time now.
It seems really epic. Quasi-sci fi/romance?
We shall see ;D

Heaven is where the police are British, the chefs Italian, the mechanics German, the lovers French and it is all organised by the Swiss.

Gosh. So many books.
Right now I'm focusing on I am the Cheese by Robert Cormier. It's not a very popular book, but I'm liking it a lot. The author also wrote The Chocolate War.
I'm -also- reading the Diary of a Teenage girl series - up to Book 3 of Caitlin "Who I Am".
I'm ALSO reading The Book Thief - which I have been forever. I really want to finish it.
I still have my generic list of books to read, but I keep finding more I want.
If anyone knows of any books based during the war or post-war, then please tell me ε›
I'm progressively more and more into the 1930s/40s.
Which reminds me.
My love of Audrey Hepburn is growing!
A few weeks ago my friends and I went to the Op Shop - I found a video tape of My Fair Lady! My gosh, I still need to watch it. But wow xD
I also found a DVD of Lolita- which is apparently on TV this Tuesday anyway. It's really good. <3StanleyKubrik.

HURR.
So I downloaded a bunch of scans from here but it was tedious to download them all and rawrrrr >_<;
So I popped them all into a .zip for anyone who wants them o;
Samplesss:


In Order:
Robot Meets Girl, Lilliput, The Swan Princess, Snow Attack, A Thumb Princess, La Ballet, Fabulous Plastic.

I think most of them are roughly around 400x500px. Most of them are in JPEG but there's some PNGs too /:
If you want a specific category, then comment me and I'll work something out ;o

Also, I didn't take the photographs because I'm 15 years old and can't afford to hire models, prop creators or the sun. Also I suck at photography. Yey:

Finally have it. I've been waiting months [since Decemberish].
It was either I didn't have the money, they were out of stock, or they didn't have international shipping.
But FINALLY. :DD
And it's the most simplest thing ever. You just need to drop and drag some installation files into the MicroSD, then you can drop virtually anything you want in there. MP3s, ROMs, even text files [:
Videos are a bit different; You have to convert them to .dpg format first.
I swear this part is relevant sryyyyyyyyyyyyyy o;
When installing the R4 kernels [downloadable from the website], it's equipped with Moonshell [I think it's referred to as the Media Kernel], so you don't have to download it from the Japanese site.
Unfortunately, this means you don't get the video converter included >_<
BUT !
You can download it from this really nifty tutorial: clickit.
- It's listed at the top as "DPG Tools".

OR.
You can just use Super, which is a really awesome video converter. Does just about anything. P:

[Scroll to le bottom.]

The R4 website has a manual on how to install the kernels and stuff [:

I've got a couple of videos on there already ^_____^

It's a Smash Bros. Brawl version of Caramell Dansen, that they seem to have removed from Youtube. xD

The interface is also pretty easy to work around. I think you can make your own skins, too [:


I also made a crappy pixel today. Cade was asking for any kind of 50x50 avatar so she can use it in her nav. bar or something.
Here you go, Ms. Cadebutt:

I really don't like it that much xD



And that's all my rambling for today, thank you! [:

The Book Thief, Death and Chocolate, p.5.
 
- A Small Theory-

People observe the colours of a day only at
it's beginnings and ends, but to me it's quite
clear that a day merges through a multitude
of shades and intonations, with each passing
moment. A single hour can consist of
thousands of different colours. Waxy yellows,
cloud-spat blues. Murky darknesses. In my line
of work, I make it a point to notice them.



The Book Thief, Death's Diary: 1942, p.329.


I actually feel quite self-indulgent at the
moment, telling you all about me, me, me.
My travels, what I saw in '42. On the other hand,
you're a human - you should understand
self-obsession.

LOOKATIT. GODDDD. IT'S AN OLD MAN PLAYING CHESS WITH A FREAKING ROBOT.
Not to mention how completley trashy the robit looks - it makes him seem warn out and cheap. A very nice touch. P:
