Kenji's Random thoughts

oh damn, I keep forgetting. our climate is warmer than it should be.

i guess your temperatures are not TOO different?

well I'll have to wait for you to reply.

Well, it was 104 degrees yesterday, and it felt like it was a bit hotter today. Summer for us is considered to begin in mid to late March, but I say California summer doesn't begin until July, when it starts to get really hot. Also, we had a bit of an unseasonable cool-spell in June, so that's some of it too.

What are your new avatar and sig image from, Spleach?

Found them on photobucket. It's from the game Killer7 by Suda51 and Grasshopper Manufacture.

also, If we are recommending war films... I recommend none.
I'm more like yourself in tastes kenji. I don't like the depression of war so I tend not to watch them.

I hate anything to do with world war 2 in europe.. it's too close to home which is depressing enough even if it weren't to do with killing.

I completely understand your point here. As for me I grew up in a military family, so i didnt really have a choice if i wanted to have anything to do with the military or not. But, because i grew up in a military home i grew up with a military life style and point of view. So i watched war films to understand the circumstances of war, what to expect and not expect. See the bounds of friendship overcome the cruelist hatreds, to see how weapons work, chain of command, engaging situations, and above all to Honor those who died by giving up my time to see what they went through, and to see the tribute given. That sort of thing. But, i dont really think or feel that way about them anymore, not after the things i heard anyways.

*Kenji Murakami · July 15, 2009

Yeah, that's why I watch them, myself. The ones I can deal with, that is.

These crack me up, and I don't even roleplay much. :lol: :cat_lol:

I can recognize a few of these - from Uzumaki and Gyo - but can someone tell me what the other pictures are from, and what the stories behind them is?

*Kenji Murakami · July 20, 2009

Oh, and if anyone has a copy of the song in the video, or knows where I can download one, I'd be very greatful. :cool:

here in the tristate area, it's been incredible cool and wet. The last two weeks have been the only real "spring" we've had all year thus far. We have yet to reach the 90's... and yet now another storm is hitting us and tempatures may dip into the 70's again. I have to say, the weather really has been pretty mild, good for me, but pretty bad for anyone who loves the beaches.

*Kenji Murakami · July 21, 2009

Yeah, I've heard the closeness of the ocean acts to moderate the temperature. Happily enough for us in Redwood City, it's not so blasted hot here anymore, either. It's good not being baked alive, of course, and I love the cool breezes that keep blowing through lately.

Sorry about the nasty weather on your end, though.

*V Guyver · July 21, 2009

No worries, I've rathered enjoyed it a bit.

Got to wonder though, how is the hurricane season going to effect either of us.

*Kenji Murakami · July 22, 2009

Yeah, I wonder about that myself. :neutral:

*Kenji Murakami · July 24, 2009

One of my LJ friends is looking for time off to watch a marathon of the Guyver TV series. :biggrin: I always like it when I manage to bring new people into the fandom - though it happens so rarely - so this is really fun for me. :cool:

*Kenji Murakami · July 25, 2009

I've been getting back into some of my old projects lately, so that's been fun. And, as much as it freaks me out, I think I'm going to buy Uzumaki and Gyo for my manga collection. God knows I read them enough. ^^;

*Kenji Murakami · July 28, 2009

Well, I've ordered the manga; the freaky, messed-up, entirely mind-bending manga. They'll probably arrive sometime tommorow or the next day. Woe betide my remaining sanity, but you can't say they aren't a good read. :cat_lol:

In other news, I've got 115 out of my 137 Mood Theme images uploaded. :biggrin:
