Veth's Journal

Folks from f!s friending meme (digivolution, t_funster, tadashi_chan): HI NEW FRIENDS :B I'm planning on going back through and trying to add some more people, so expect a HI NEW FRIENDS PART 2 at some point later I guess, but I hope you guys can hang out while waiting for the rest of 'em to get here. So yes, this is an example of a typical post from me! Also I don't think I've posted it here before, but I'm vethica on AIM too if you or anyone else wants to message me. It's always nice to add people to my woefully small buddy list.

So, sorry for not having been updating. Haven't had too much to talk about, I guess. While I was home my life was being eaten by The Sims 3 (remind me to post pictures sometime), and now that I am at school it is being eaten by school. I'd forgotten how miserable I get when school happens. The night I got back I was just feeling too crappy and unmotivated to do any work, so I did not get any work done and stayed up till 5 anyway. \o/ So I'm not proud, but I'm working on doing better. Hopefully it will be a reminder of what not to do the rest of the semester. Hopefully.

On a Homestuck note: I don't have much to say about the latest updates, mainly because everything I wanted to say has probably been said by other people. Pretty much all I have is this: ( not much ) Buuuut I did go and translate the kids' and trolls' Sburb titles into Latin while I was supposed to be doing my actual homework. I think they look pretty cool! (Spoilers for Gamzee's title.)

( I like how two of these are variations on 'equus.' )

This has the added bonus that now I will never forget any of their titles.

Also, reading about hiimdaisy's hiatus, while sad, has inspired me to go back and reread the comics. I'd forgotten how funny they were. Seriously, the lady's a comedic genius. I also discovered that they have some amazing fandubs. (But on the downside now I will be sad if I ever play a Persona game because they could never live up to these versions.)

Finally: I am going to Webcomics on Ice* this weekend! HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE COOL and I can glare at Andrew Hussie for spoiler. :B
*disclaimer: no actual ice

I promised alacranita I'd do a post of foreign Disney song recs, so here it is. yaaaaay
( Spoiler: Norwegian Tarzan rules )
Man that took a while. Also I thought I had more songs than this. :|

And, uh, look at what I found while doing this:

Looks like Japanese Fropin is canon. :B

Not much else to report. Worrying about college is taking up most of my time. Also, joined VDex. You know, that Pokémon thing. I doubt I'll keep up with it, but it's fun currently. Obligatory link to my dudes:

Okay guise, dilemma time.

So for my English project I was thinking of incorporating a clip of Shaman King. I'd be presenting this to the class. Now should I use:

• the Japanese version, which has subtitles that people might not be able to read?
  or
  
• the English version, which is a piece of crap?

Opinions plz. :(

( A pet peeve )

( Vethie's Super-Special-Awesome-Guaranteed-Never-Fail Capture the Flag Strategy )

( Languages of songs I have on my iPod )

:B

Um. So you know the Team Rocket song? Apparently it appeared in the show. On the one hand, I thought I knew the tune from somewhere. On the other...I don't remember seeing this. D: I like how they adapted it into English. I also like how James is subtly crossdressing. :D

Other observations:
- Probably the best version of the TR song that I've seen is the Italian one.
- Officer Jenny is "Officer Rocky" in German. I can't take that seriously at all.
- The Jigglypuff song is really pretty in German (though it's also quite pretty in English).
- Although for some reason Jigglypuff still says Jigglypuff, even though her name is Pummeluff. Then again, English Charizards and Onixes still say "Lizardon" and "Iwark", apparently, so.
- The German Pokérap does not change the order. So it really doesn't rhyme. Even though they could do that really easily. :\
- Is English the only language that came up with new songs?

Also, this. Watch it. You will thank me. Or possibly be really disturbed. (I can't decide whether I prefer that version or this one.)

And if anyone gets what I did with the "my music" thing, then...you're awesome. :D
