\\*pics?*//

Inability to post the objects mentioned in the title is making me very, very, very frustrated. If thou doth encounter a similar setback, do inform me over sms, so we can form a "Hate you blogger until the end of this 'inabilty to post photos'" group. Going to search for news now.

Anime:
All the newly created episodes of the current broadcast of Haruhi have been exhausted with the latest episode, leaving only further repeats.

Newtype has already published official schedules indicating the remaining four episodes are repeats from the original series, so unless the final episode is modified in some way (or replaced entirely), a prospect which Haruhi-ists will doubtless cling to until the bitter end, the “Disappearance” arc initially promised for the new series has entirely disappeared.

There is some speculation that continuations may come by way of a new PSP game or the entirely hypothetical Haruhi movie, but otherwise it seems the franchise will be dead for another three years, if indeed it ever revives…

game Consoles:
A chance observation by 2ch has led to the surprising discovery that some Japanese movie theatres are actually playing their films from PS3s.

The tale begins with a 2ch denizen’s visit to a Sendai cinema, where the audience’s viewing of Kara no Kyoukai was rudely interrupted by the appearance of an onscreen warning to recharge their controller.

Opinion was quickly split as to whether this was a fine advertisement of the PS3’s capabilities or a rather miserly move on the part of the cinema.

Soon the news spread through 2ch-watching blogs and was picked up by a site which apparently managed to confirm by way of Aniplex that the showing was indeed using a PS3, though not using Blu-ray as some had thought.

It transpires that full HD at 1920×1080 was being stored on the PS3 HDD, with the quality apparently indistinguishable from more typical projector-source hardware.

A number of cinemas are apparently using this method, though it might be hoped they are rather more careful about keeping their controllers charged

Women:
New survey results compound previous findings with the news that 46% of Japanese women admit to cheating on their partners.

The survey, conducted by StyleWalker, asked 2,000 Japanese women in their teens and twenties “Have you ever cheated on someone?”

23% confessed to some prior acts of infidelity, giving the usual creative excuses or remorseful vows never to do it again until the next time.

A further 9% admit to “unintentionally” cheating, giving such highly convincing excuses as “I was dating someone, but he confessed to me and I couldn’t refuse…” and “I fell for someone else even though I was dating him.”

4% actually acknowledged they were currently cheating on their man, some even with more than one person…

However, 54% of women asked would not admit to cheating on their partners, though whether this implies innocence or discretion is certainly open to question.

These results seem extraordinarily similar to another, previous survey; that put the proportion of cheating women at a close 45% of the total, suggesting the results may be quite reliable.

Hatsune Miku...oh sorry, Hachune(????) Miku:
Hachune Miku, the chibi version of virtual idol Hatsune Miku, will be launched high into the heavens in a rocket this month.

The rocket, along with the Miku figurine, is taking part in the eXtreme Performance Rocket Ships (XPRS) contest, held by NASA in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada from September 18th to the 21st.

The project is being handled by Social Media Satellite Development Project (SOMESAT, formerly HAXA), the members all having met on NicoNico Douga, itself famous for popularising Hatsune Miku.

Somesat’s eventual aim is to launch Hachune Miku into space, though this launch will see them aim for a lesser altitude of some 2km.

The figure will showcase some technological advancement, which includes an electronic mechanism that is used to “wave” its signature “negi”.

Sales Disaster:
When confronted about its mockery of the remaining Haruhi fanbase with the four disc Endless Eight DVD release, even Kadokawa itself can only say “it would be nice if they sell.”

Their animation department responds to enquiries thus:

“Even in the company hardly anyone knows why it took eight repeated episodes spread across 4 DVDs with two episodes each in order to unravel the mystery thoroughly. We are aware of the fan reaction, but…”
When asked directly about whether they think these tactics will result in sales at the level of the first season, even Kadokawa is less than enthusiastic:

“Well… All that can be said is that it would be nice if they sell, wouldn’t it?”

Weird sculpter:
The same enigmatic chainsaw carver who previously sculpted Nagi-sama and Hatsune Miku from blocks of wood has turned his hand to creating a wooden idol of Mio, with quite spectacular results.

Apparently, he resembles like Jason from that horror movie. If only i could post photos.....oh well.....
"Jason-san" in action, i suppose...

Me:
Tiring days.....tiring days....my head is throbbing from thinking too much...
As you know, i write. And writing has always been my passion. Lately, however....writer's block has been...well...blocking my way....
Now i'm torn between my romance/action novel(la?) and my current fantasy one which features almost all of our outstanding people in our class, namely Marin, Jen Yang, Keith, Wayne, MK and yours truly. It also includes our beloved people (reasons are stated behind their names, Haffidz (a truly great group member), Low Yu (for his attempts, and failures, to try and increase his randomness level to fit my expectations), Naunidh (for.....well....his turban?), Zheng Jie (for his amazing like-ness to Mr. Tay) and Hong Sheng (for being named HL Milk in the beginning of the year. Just kidding. For being a total dartboard for my insults).

Guess that's all. Long live Moemon. Long live Vocaloid.

By the way...for anyone who knows the vocaloids....

Hatsune= hatsu+Ne = Hatsu(first)Ne(sound)
Megurine= Meguri + Ne = Meguri(Circulate)Ne(Sound)
Kagamine= Kagami + Ne = Kagami(mirror)Ne(sound)

Hatsune and Kagamine have a relation to their characters.
Hatsune Miku is of the very first vocaloid, so thus Hatsune.
The Kagamine family comprises of Rin (originating from the english word: Right) and Len (Left) Kagamine. as they are twins, thus Kagamine, Mirror + Sound.
however.....Megurine remains a mystery to why she is named so.
By the way, Rin's the girl, even though Right sounds very male-ish. And Len's the guy, even though Left sounds like a female-ish name.
