Currently having a liking to Matcha with red bean sinkers.

Wow! The five kages kicks ass! It's about damn time too! So they're basically telling us that Madara was that of a badass? Good grief, or could it be possible that the younger generations just got weaker?

Gavan and Goakiger? Seriously? Gavan is like seriously old. I think he was the first of the Metal Heroes, the second being Sharivan and the third being Shaider. Which I would like to point out that Shaider became famous around here because of the blatant panty shots being showed by his partner, Annie.

Guess what? My subconscious succeeded in finding a reason why I shouldn't buy the curve 9300. I just learned that my service provider has recently added the Curve 9360 into their lineup. This is a higher version of the curve 9300 but at a much steeper price. But I can get it cheaper if I get with with my plan. Although I have to shell out a few bucks for this, it's relatively cheaper than getting an open line phone. How cheap? Probably about 50% off the market price. But since my contract will only end by July next year, I have to wait until April before I can get this phone. *sigh*

Well, I doubt they're going to start phasing out GPRS anytime soon, as not everyone has the luxury of a phone capable of high speed mobile internet. Most of the local branded phones still rely on the old GSM network. But thanks for the moral support. I needed someone to push me to get it, as I tend to procrastinate when it comes to buying decisions. You could say I'm subconsciously looking for reasons why I shouldn't buy it.

Ah very nice. Keep it up and I won't have to do anything anymore. So two things will happen, either shizu dies or some sort of reinforcements arrive to save her. Did we forget about Aptom? He seems to be the most likely cavalry at the moment.

Is it me, or did we last see him munching more of his dope? I think the fight will still continue after Luffy is finished with Noah. Seems kinda cheap if Hody was defeated just like that.

Just wondering, is it really worth it to get a 3G enabled phone if you are a heavy data user? With my current blackberry curve 8520, I feel that the speed of the GPRS just won't cut it. I'm contemplating getting the Blackbery 9300 3G. Physically, its physical appearance as well as technical specifications are completely the same with my Curve 8520, with the exception that the 9300 is 3G enabled and has GPS, as well as support for a newer version of the OS.

Reading is good. It gives you a broader understanding of a lot of things. It's up to you to make the time to read. I'm quite busy myself, but I still managed to sneak in a few things under. Like say, when your taking a dump, you don't usually do anything there except exercise your intestinal muscles, so why not use that time to read instead?

Finally managed to get my hands on the books of Isaac Asimov. Currently reading Caves of Steel, which is supposed to be the second part of his robot series. Some quick info that I didn't know before: Bicentenial Man (the one which Robin Williams starred in) was also written by Isaac Asimov. I was really impressed with the movie and was touched at how things came to be. When I learned that this was based on the novel of Isaac Asimov's "The Positronic Man", I was immediately moved to find the rest of his writings. Finally, another author who will captivate my interest.

I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Because frankly, I'm not really good with nouns pronouns and all that english rules. One technique you might employ is that the japanese grammar is the complete opposite of english grammar. So the phrase "I like this bike" can be formed in japanese as "this bike I like". Hmm.... now that you mentioned this, Yoda (Star Wars) does seems to speak in Japanese grammar. So you may want to practice speaking Yoda to be familiar with Japanese grammar. And if you are serious in learning Japanese without formal lessons, read lots of raw manga with a Japanese-English dictionary on hand. This has worked wonders for me. I swear I learned Japanese through playing games before I actually had formal lessons.

perhaps you were aiming for this:

Another one from the all girl group Girls Generation: And a full unobstructed demonstration of the dance performed above. She's cute by the way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmQGZ0uyuLs

Wow! Is fear itself finished? I'm actually itching for it to finish before I read it. And Wow! Again? Nice! Too bad about bucky though....

by the way, the first Hunter X Hunter tv series had a total of 62 episodes, the next OAV, Genei Ryodan arc is considered as episode 63-70. The following OAV, Greed Island as episode 71-78, and the last OAV, G.I. Final as episode 79-92. One drawback here is that you have to watch these in succession. With the new remake, everything was reset back to zero.

Hunter X Hunter was aired previously covering up to the Greed Island arc which consists of a TV series and multiple OAV's. I would have been happy if they had continued the story in the last OAV instead of remaking the whole series. A lot of people are actually complaining why a remake was done. Hunter X Hunter was a unique show that after the TV series, they made OAV that continue the story. At least in Hunter X Hunter, there were no fillers, as far as I know. Once an arc was finished, they would stop airing the show, and once a new arc was completed, they would release this as an OAV. Although I haven't seen the whole episode of the new series, I'm quite saddened that they removed a integral character at the start of the series. The character Kaito was an important character that would be relevant at the end of Greed Island arc and the Chimera arc. Looks like they are trying to fast track the story in the remake.

Did I ever mention Hunter X Hunter? I mean, they do have some similarities with Naruto. Like the protagonists father leaving the child to their own devices, going through tough trials to prove himself worthy of his legacy and most important of all, the camaraderie. I remember this just know because I have recently seen the first episode of the revamped anime which started airing last October 2. Not to mention that the serialized weekly manga chapter seems to have normalized.

sex taped I know, it's shallow, but hey, I find it funny. sorry.

Or possibly that with your increased awareness of the language, and constant nitpick of the translations, you began to stopped caring? There was a time I was infuriated with the mis-translations, but now I only laugh at them. Anyway, it was unfortunate the Nodame Cantabile was not up to your taste. I particularly find the pervert Stresemann and how he introduced himself as Milch Holstein (Milk Cow) to be very funny, and how his professional career is so opposite of his real character. Especially how he selected a band of misfits for his special orchestra. Will start to watch Agito soon as I have already acquired up to episode 43.

Ah yes! That's exactly what I meant. Remember I was asking for that function when we were talking about skipping the spoilers? I'll check it out. Traditional wiki has them, so I'm not sure if those codes will also apply to wikimedia. Crap! I took a peek at wiki, and it's sooo complex. It has templates within templates within templates.

Say what? Uh.... can you explain that a little, I'm a little confused. Do you mean a command that can hide certain parts of the article to condense the page? We are talking about the wiki right? If that's what your talking about, I would also like to know if we can do that. As I plan to use that on the main page so I don't have to think about what needs to be said about any updated pages. However, we could do a separate episode list to contain the ratings, but we also need to put the summary and detailed information for each episode. Unless someone is stupid kind enough to do it, it's a task which I am unable to undertake at my current capacity.

Alright, here are the ratings for fourze, and basically, this is everything: ＃ Subtitle Broadcast date Ratings 01 Blue・Spring・Change・Body 2011/09/04 6.3% 02 Deep・Space・Very・Good 2011/09/11 7.2% 03 Woman・Ruler・Selection・Process 2011/09/18 5.5% 04 Transform・Illusion・Secret・Maneuver 2011/09/25 6.7% 05 Friend・ship・two・sides 2011/10/02 7.7% 06 Electric・Shock・only・way 2011/10/09 5.8% 07 Lord・King・the・rascal 2011/10/16 Do note that I took great liberties with the translation as the subtitles are 4 separate kanji that are viewed as independent but can form words or phrases. And the only way to preserve the essence is if I ignore the traditional direct translation. For reference on the ratings, I've already posted the average ratings of each rider series in the KR series page. For easy reference, click here. That's basically how the information is presented. Rather raw if you asked me. Which is why I considered to integrate it into the episode list of the respective KR pages. Because aside from the ratings itself, all the other information is already listed in the episode list. I'm also not comfortable having too many pages for a single title. Of course multiple pages are unavoidable, but in this case, I don't think it's practical to have a separate page for each of the ratings. edit: crap, the tables didn't show, had to re-edit them.

Yes, watch Captain America. Captain America may not be one of the original founders of the Avengers, but he is certainly one of the core members of the team, and had great influence over the team. I mean, everyone considers him as the "Living Legend". I guarantee that you will feel awestruck at the first half of the movie, looking at the struggles of a scrawny Steve Rogers and how he overcame his peers to become the first super soldier.

Perhaps I can point you lovely people to this thread:
