Word Pressed

Somehow the decline is getting pretty obvious.

The recent patch-up by WordPress seemed so not okay this time around. Aside from making homage links pop in and out for no good fucking reason, it also screwed up the flash uploader function. Now I can’t do multi-uploading since browser uploader only supports one-by-one uploading. How shitty can you get.

I would also like to know if any of you guys experience such problems as well, so I can confirm if this is just a problem on my side or if everybody else is experiencing the same stuff.

To Aru Majutsu No Index 3: Necessarius

So, another magic trick pulled out of the mage’s hat, I guess. INDEX having the lead for something so grand an Angelic Healing Spell, Komoe-sensei sure is in trouble!

Without any clue, Komoe tries to tend to Index, but INDEX promptly tells her what to do since there isn’t really much time left. After preparing the magic circle and activating John’s Pen so she can use magic, she asks Komoe-sensei’s cooperation for the spell.

Anybody who can provide translations on what’s on the table?

Again, the use for placeholders is given importance. Aside from the mainstay use of blood for a magic circle (which some people find macabre, but not for me), certain items and locations inside the room are given a placeholder. Clips, memory cards, paperweights, toys, erasers and such, are used to represent beer cans, closets, tables, and people. Also, by means of magic, any changes on the placeholders also affects the items they represent. This is shown again when Index’s placeholder had changes after the healing spell.

Toma was pretty much depressing that every time he tries to do something, his right hand would be a major letdown. It would prevent him from using magic, it would make him encounter insane magi who play with fire, his unluckiness would affect his means of finding a cure for Index, and Imagine Breaker would definitely nullify Index and Komoe’s healing magic if he were to stay there. But hey, Toma. You got it where it counts. That’s what mattered.

HALLELUJAH!

Soul-Searching On The Month Of Souls

Like a vampire fresh out of its coffin, I come back to life.

Apparently I tried to somewhat get a hold of myself together this past month (or something like it). I mean, I did take the month off work just to be able to do something. Unfortunately, I was about to do A LOT OF SOMETHINGS, so to speak.

First, there’s the pay-respects-to-the-dead thingie. Well, it’s an occasion, what gives in celebrating it? I don’t really have things for the dead, or the undead, if you include those who don’t want to rest in peace (like Owen), but hey, it’s November. Then again, I’m pretty much included among the undead. It’s November, and it’s that time of the year where spiritual vibes go haywire. It’s never wrong to go batshit maniacal crazy (though I’d like to reserve that basically because you wouldn’t want to, but yeah, I could come out of your monitor for keeps, hee hee hee).

Sounds like I’m making excuses here, eh?  Well, I am. I’m trying to find reasons on why I was on the Intarwebs while not even being able to touch the blog. Guess all that shit talk about losing the drive on vacations do happen, after all. There’s the random crip-crap going all along, then the schedule that seemed to fix it up but had me uptight too much. It’s just like juggling from one shit to another. Decision-wise, if Tonberries were real, I would’ve been dead by now. And it’s Halloween too. Talk about how appropriate that is.

Now, let’s see. A shitload of animu and manga to blog, then games, then webcomic and sketches, then other stuff. Sweet! I feel like this would be killing me before I can even get to work next week! But enough complaining. I guess I’m just going to take responsibility for it.

Then again, was I even responsible?
