  • Ah, my two favorite movies turn 10 and 50 this year! A very happy anniversary to Kung Fu Panda 2 and A Clockwork Orange, and may you continue to bring me joy for years to come.

    I somehow skimmed over the "and 50" and went "Wait what suddenly time is not real?"

    Both those movies are so similar that I don't know how you can tell them apart.

    To be fair, Kung Fu Panda 2 is a lot darker than a movie called Kung Fu Panda 2 has any right to be. So, I mean... both movies are very dark. We can easily take the leap and say that makes them one and the same. :clara_ani_lili:
    At work, we've been using a giant binder to store all of the Print tickets and job details, divided into sections for all four of us, that way we can easily keep track of who's taken and completed what jobs. The problem is, it gets difficult to open and put tickets into within a week or two of emptying it out, so we finally caved and decided to just keep track of individual binders.

    We all chose a different color binder to easily tell them apart, but that didn't stop me from further customizing mine.

    Nnnnn... I started out being so proud of this cover, and now it sounds like literally every cover I've ever done: uninspired. Boring. Dull. The kind of thing no one would want to listen to. I'm calling it the Saki AI Syndrome.

    How are people Good At This? Teach me the sorcery of being talented at anything.

    I got to the point where it mentioned the victim mentality, and how we have to take responsibility for our own actions and faults and such. I read on for about ten minutes, but the whole time I couldn't absorb anything; all that kept repeating on a loop in my head was "I take responsibility for the fact that I'm no good. That's no one's fault but my own. I'm not trying hard enough. That's no one's fault but my own."

    Maybe tomorrow. Maybe tomorrow I can get that voice to shut up.

    *hugs* I'm going to be honest with you, I didn't actually read it past like the first paragraph (I was just looking up "imposter syndrome" in my browser and it showed up because I must have read it a loooong time ago). I think you're right, just take a break for now and see how you feel later.
    It’s official. After much kicking it around and dragging my feet, I’m making the plunge.

    If anyone’s interested in purchasing a discounted, boxed Kiyoteru Rock, lemme know, because I’m about to buy his Complete.
    Oh! Well hello there, gorgeous. I figured it'd be at least another week before I saw you!

    I think the worst customers I have are government workers.

    ~~~

    “Do you have a Rewards account or a Store Purchasing Card with us?”

    “I’m with the city.” Great, I’m happy for you! So do you have either of those cards or are we gonna run this as a normal transaction?

    ~~~

    “Due to the way your government card works, I can’t use this gift card with this transaction. You’re free to use it for personal transactions however!”

    “Can you not just give me cash for it?”

    “That’s against both company policy and state law.”

    “I WORK for the state!” Oh, well that changes everything! Lemme just break the laws that you should already be intimately familiar with and risk getting us both fired, fined, and jailed because you’re so important that you DESERVE to use a gift card alongside a card that the GOVERNMENT IS ALREADY PAYING FOR!

    ~~~

    They’re so... condescending. Not a single one has ever treated me or my coworkers like we weren't inherently lesser than them. I don't like them.


    It's like she didn't get the memo that they were supposed to look ethereal and I'll never not love it
    POV: Cyber Songman dishes out some disturbing threats, but you're okay with it, because it's Cyber Songman.



    (It struck me at work today that he might sound good singing this... I dunno. The jury's out on that one, but it would be fun to do in the future!)
    Well, after a lapse in memory and logic, I've located Xingchen's tracking info! She's taking her sweet time, but so long as she gets to me safely she can take all the time she needs.

    Just... hopefully not TOO long. Please. I want my girl. :kaito_lili:
    Nnnnnnn... I don't guess I was expecting much of anything going to the bookstore tonight, but I figured they'd at least have something I could order.

    They had exactly one book on the topic of Slovak that they could order, and it only had one chapter about Slovak itself. The other chapters covered other languages.

    I know it's not a super-in-demand language in the States, but so far I've found more official resources for English speakers learning Klingon than Slovak, and damn if it's not annoying as hell.

    And I love and appreciate you! I just... wish there was more I could do myself, y'know? I want to be able to read up and learn new stuff during my downtime at work, and I learn better with something in my hands. Thank you so much for always being here :akasakiminato_lili:

    We can try searching some resources together!
    My New Year's Resolution: move past my bitterness towards Fukase brought about by his more toxic fans and appreciate him for who he is, and maybe even buy him.

    First step: acknowledging and appreciating my Fukaship.

    Ah actually it's a joke between me and Peachy :clara_ani_lili: we playfully poke at Ppoiyo and while I def don't outright hate him I do have my gripes with him, if you'd like I could explain why some might not like him! ( Also he does get hate? :marie_ork_lili: not saying he doesn't I just personally haven't experienced it! )

    @patuk Oh that's okay I don't mind!! And yeah only rarely I've come accross people putting him down, mainly on SC since that's about the only place I'm around :clara_ani_lili: Other than that I would say he gets more love than hate thankfully. He's not my absolute fav and I can't stand his high notes but I do like his newest voicebank and think it's a major step above his old ones.

    ANYWAYS sorry for derailing the Fukase talk lol

    If it's okay then I can explain yeah!

    His high notes, as you mentioned, are really strained and he gets into that range too soon for my liking and I find his mids and lows too monotone and filled with engine noise to be really usable for me personally, usually you can resolve monotony with good pit but from my experienced, he responds poorly to it and ends up sounding really uncomfortable isntead of emotive.
    And I actually feel the opposite way :clara_ani_lili: I consider Light to be ( tonally ) the worst voicebank of his, while I appreciate the lack of weird EQ on his samples and the extras the issues I have with his tone not only persist but are amplified, I have to yet find usage of his Light vb which I like.

    Overall I don't think he's horrible, I just find him to be ( by today's standards ) MQ, little dated, utau hyped up by nostalgia and the fact he was retired for few years and I wish he was more recognized as that and respected for being veteran vb and not put on pedestal by the community as much. Which where my main distaste for him comes from tbh.

    Some things about this might be subjctive and ofc I respect his vp and it's ofc fine to like him. Just explaing in little too much detail where some of us might be coming from cvbnmvbn sorry for the esay. I hope I wasn't too harsh!

    Superbuy: "So you've got three options for shipping. Two of them are $20, come with no tracking, will take up to two months, and we offer zero compensation in the fairly likely chance it's lost or damaged. The other one is a decent fucking shipping service for $70."

    Me, already crying: "I'll do it for you Xingchen. I'll do it for you."
    I got a $25 gift card to Sephora for Christmas, and I still don't know what to get. I was thinking about a Laneige lip mask, but I just ordered two of Fourth Ray's new lip masks, so I feel that would be redundant... any suggestions?

    I love TO! (Currently using their glycolic acid as a body spray to help with acne.) I’m just not sure what else from them I could introduce into my routine. I haven’t had a refresher course on them in a while though... I’ll give it a look. Thank you!
    Whoo! If Google Translate isn't deceiving me, Xingchen departed from the Guangdong post office about two hours ago, so she'll probably be at the warehouse within the next twelve hours! I paid extra (a whole $0.89) to have her booking process expedited, so I'm praying all this happens while I'm still awake, so she can be shipped out ASAP...
    She stood before him, not only offering herself to him, but granting him the honor of looking upon her. Untouchable, yet already his, of her own volition. And how a goddess in flesh and blood could so wholly love him? He'd never know, but he'd never object.

    ...I'm very thankful I ended up never finishing and publishing this, because damn, I wanna use that for a Vocaloid fic. Untouched it's very KaiMeiesque, but a few adjustments and it would also very nicely fit with my portrayal of Kiyoteru's relationship with Gakupo.

    I wish I was half as good at writing now as I was mid-mental breakdown in 2017.

    I'm just embarrassed that my best material was for fucking Kung Fu Panda. Nothing wrong with it of course, but like... c'mon. Now that I'm writing for humans/full humanoids, can I please have an inkling of my old talent back??
