Random Mumblings
And I type this from my new HP DV5 1102tu laptop which I bought a few dats back. I had stored 14 GB worth of stuff on it and then, on the very first day I started giving problems. It would boot just fine but wouldn't show the desktop. I tried just about everything and I was going to try removing the RAM and putting it back in but my dad insisted we go and get it fixed at the shop. I told that guy THRICE that I don't want to lose any data but oh he went right ahead and fixed it without backup. Basically the past two havent been very great. But still, I got it back fine and it works and everything. I had Percy Jackson.
Also, my CET exam got over on 12th after that I've been drawing like craaaazy. You can check out my drawings on My DeviantArt Account.
Oh if you're having the same problem with your laptop you can do this: shut down, switch on again press 11 as it boots and Advanced Setup -> Recovery -> Backup -> Start. There are loads more solutions on many other sites just check out google.
Anyway, I really must start watching Bleach. Apart from that, I've finished Fullmetal Alchemist, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, xxxHolic, Vampire Knight so far, till whichever chapter has been released. Currently I'm reading Death Note and watching FMA Brotherhood and Tears to Tiara. I'll be watching Gurrn Laggan on Animax starting tomorrow. Now I think I'll draw something nice. I have no idea what but I always end up drawing Yuuko so this time I'll refrain from doing that XD
Next time , then.

To hell and back again
Anyway, I had to go to my hometown to give the stupid exam. I hate that place. Their bathroom is tiny and there's never any electricity and oh, by the way, most of the things in the house belongs to us, why do you give us so much attitude? Unlike my mother, who loves grumbling about it all, I didn't really care. But a girl like me needs my morning milk. A nice big mug of it. The food: disgusting. I barely ate anything. Plenty of hygiene problems too. The water tasted... wow, you don't want to know.
And the centre of the exam. Dusty, hot, and everyone looked dazed as though they were going for a movie or something. The canteen was like a road side dhaba. Worse even than that. And I had to spend two hours in a stuffy underground room while I waited for my next paper to start. They called that place an "office". Really.
And I want to strangle the idiot who decided to release Percy Jackson 5 only in the US and UK on 5th May. I almost diiiiied.
And my computer's not better. Still useless piece of junk that does not deserve to be called a computer. And the worst part is, its all I have.
Anyway, it might not be completely hopeless. Might now, if my dad will spend a bit for us for a change. Today evening, hopefully, if nothing goes wrong and we don't draw out our swords and bare our fangs, we'll be going to check out some laptops.
Next post, I'll write about my anime and manga rush. *Yawn*
Till next time: sdfjdsjkdldf

K'eye'd in
So only after the ordeal is over can I start with something. Dance classes? Art? Film? NIIT?
I'm not the kind of person who regrets something but I'm thinking I should have given the NIFT entrance exam. Plus, I desperately need a careen counseling session. Engineering is like a mountain which I'll take upon myself and be crushed to death by the end of those four years. What a waste of a life.
Actually my main problem is my greatest sin: Sloth. I thought it was Wrath, but now I'm sure its Sloth. Brains I have. Ability I have. Patience? No. Energy? No way. Do I even care? Nope. See my problem? And I've been so addicted to Anime.
The new season of Fullmetal Alchemist is airing on Animax. Plus I watch Tears to Tiara, God Save our king, xxxHolic. I finished watching Tsubasa Chronicles and even finished reading the manga so far. I know. I'm nuts. I just want this stupid study thing to end.
Sigh. Such is life then.

TV!!
SO I'm in my anime mode right now. It all started out with me watching Fullmetal Alchemist, then on to Inuyasha, then Cardcaptor Sakura (after which I've become half a purist because I didn't want to watch the horrid, incomplete American version of it) and now I've finished watching the first season of Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles, seen a couple of the second. After I finish this post I shall watch the first few episodes of xxxHolic. I know. Crazy. I'll be getting glasses anytime soon. Does anyone know how to remedy that?
Also I finished reading the Inuyasha and Fullmetal Alchemist Manga.
From 4th of April the new Fullmetal Alchemist season will be aired in Japan, which will follow the manga storyline. SIX DAYS AFTER THAT, ANIMAX WILL AIR THEIR DUBBED VERSION ON THEIR CHANNEL IN INDIA ALSO. God bless them =D
So much addiction... Sigh. And there's so much I want to watch. Bleach, Naruto are must-watch anime shows. Oh well.
Apparently tomorrow some weird virus thingy will be on the net, so I'm not going to risk watching anything tomorrow (right) and watch ANIMAX!! HAHAHAAAAAA *evil laugh*
So, basically I'm content and also totally screwed because I have to study for CET which starts next month. Doom, again. STOP, PLEASE!!!
Arigatou for reading the post =D (50% purist see?)

Breathe...
Well, the exams are over but I haven't exactly gotten real relief. Because of CET. Parents sure act weird, especially when it comes to academics. My father wants me to go for tuition which I abandoned a hundred million years ago (last August actually) and have already put it out of my mind. I thought I'll prepare for it on my own but nooooo he wants me to go all the way to that horribly depressing place and torture myself to no end. I mean, they have sample tests online too and I can manage those. I shouldn't even have joined the stupid thing in the first place. I mean, yeah Dad spent a lot of money on it, but alright fine. I'll return it someday man! Though I haven't told him that because if I did, I wouldn't be able to post anymore. You get the picture. Blood. Lots of blood. And warheads.
And both my parents want me to give Karnataka CET so I can stay with them for four years of engineering. I want to stay here, in Mumbai. To do that, I'll have to stay in a hostel and really slog but I'm so lazy, my parents think I won't be able to manage it. First thing, people: I don't even know if I want to do engineering! Second thing, who the hell cares? Mom is worried about me staying away from them, but that is the point people! I'm tired of staying with them. After a certain point, all teenagers want their own freedom and want to become independent enough to be able to live their own lives. I suppose, even if God appeared in front of them and told them to leave me alone, they wouldn't understand. Such is life, huh?
Plus, all their friends are telling them it'll be better for me to go there. Damn them! Who asked for your opinion anyway?
Moving on to more cheerful topics. I went out with two of my tuition friends yesterday. We went to Oxford first, where they had an 80% sale (probably on an old, unheard-of book, because I sure as hell didn't see any discount more than 30%) I bought Golem's Eye because that was the only book I was lacking in the Bartimeaus trilogy. Jonathan Stroud has a new book out too, I want to read that. Then, we went to Barista and had a fat, chocolate brownie (ymmm) and a tall frappe (each, silly). We were talking and laughing real loud and cracking silly jokes. No, we didn't care what other people said. Ha.
Then I went for Abracadabra night. The magician's english rocked (right). And we basically sat and did nothing till around 10 when the DJ session started. He was playing songs from the pre-historic age eg. Hips don't lie and Temperature. Pleeeease. But everyone else seemed to be enjoying themselves, so I and my friends just helped ourselves to some food and we hauled butt.
So that's what. I'll get back to watching Carcaptor Sakura and trying to tune out my mother breathing down my neck about cleaning my room. Shoo!!

Been a while...
So well, I and my friends went for "dinner" yesterday to IMSC. We basically hogged on junk food. Ice cream, black and french fries. I guess you can't go wrong with that!!!
And today I had to go to college to submit my stupid CET form. And then I went to the parlour and got my hair washed. They stank and looked heavily oiled and had enough dandruff to make dandruff-fall in my country. Ok no it wasn't that disgusting but like I said, I like to exaggerate.
I finished watching Inuyasha and even finished reading the manga. I must say, it ROCKED!!! I loved the ending and the way *spoiler* Naraku was killed. Now I'm watching Cardcaptor Sakura (Japanese, English subbed). I'm done with about 10 episodes. Actually I started watching like, a few seconds of Blood+ after I gave up on getting good quality English dubbed version of Cardcaptors but too much blood. Maybe once I'm done with it, I'll watch Blood+
Tomorrow I have to go get the Set Top Box form. Finally getting cable TV! And then there's a stupid "Abracadabra" night at IMSC followed by a DJ night so we'll go for that even though IMSC parties suck. Not like we have anything better to do.
My computer's not behaving much better either but I guess I have to live with it for now.
And my mom sleeps in the computer room at night these days so no more night TV for me... =(
Oh well that's it for now.
Later!

Exam time!!
And I have the worst of the worst coming up this week. So, cross my fingers!!
Well, otherwise there is not much going on. I have to watch the first movie of Inuyasha. So that's it. Until next time, goodbye!!

Boards and birthdays

Well, well. The day is over. I think it was one of my most peaceful birthdays. Nothing too exciting but I actually liked the day. Plenty of wall posts, messages, scraps and calls. I started my day with watching Inuyasha (hehe). That went on for about the whole morning. Then I had lunch (...) I finished one tiny chapter of Chemistry II - Synthetic Fibers. Very small thing. I met up with Nikeeta Dutta. We went to the park and talked crap for about an hour. We had a Coke bottle, what did you expect? Dad got a small cake. Mom, dad, my cousin brother and I shared it. It was pretty nice. I think it was Devil's Delight. Then I surfed the net for some Sesshoumaru pictures since I've gotten so obsessed with him these days. Then everyone went to sleep. I tried drawing him, but hey, it was my first try. He looked very anime but not very Seshy. Fluffy hahaaha. So that was it. And now comes the terror of the EXAMS!!! OMG!!! Day after tomorrow!!! NOOOOOOO!!!
Happy birthday to me!!!
Even if it is only and English exam. Its hopeless studying for that subject because only luck can give you marks. Then there physics 1 and 2, chem 1 & 2, economics, math 1 & 2 and then IT. Sad life I have. One good thing is: I got a new keyboard!!!!! Its so sleek, black and hot. Best part is: the y key works! yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
Thanks to my obsession with anime (it just has to happen during my exams doesn't it?) I am trying fruitlessly to get some work done.
Well, I got plenty of messages from friends wishing me. And along with this month's pocket money, dad gave some extra cash. Cool right?
It's really boring. I;m feeling trapped, exhausted, restless and pissed off at the same time. At least I don't have to wait too long. Just two weeks more. Then I'll be free!! Not exactly, I'll still have to study for CET. Oh well, such is life I guess.
Long live Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru, Edward and Alphonse Elric, Hawkeye and Roy Mustang!!!

Hacking and coughing into a bowl of tears
Anyway, I finished watching Fullmetal Alchemist and the movie a few days back. The process involved sneaking into the room at 1 a.m. connecting the stupid Kingfisher airlines earphones and watching till 3.30 a.m and getting red-eyed. Not only because it was too late and all, but also because there are times when I actually cried. Like, boo-hoo this can't beeeeeeeeeeeee!!! It's the only show that's touched me soooo deeply. I really love it, but its bittersweet. I can't think about it without getting all sad about how he'she died, how it all ended. So I'm going to try and find solace in the manga where the ending is not yet here.
Enough now. I get too sad.
So once I'm done with my boards, I'll watch Inu yasha and card captor sakura. Its been years since I saw them. I'm trying to refrain myself from doing that now. And so far so good!!
I finally got my Windows re-formatted. I still need a new keyboard. The comp's behaving better. And I've not been studying as I should. I'm doomed. I've mentioned this before, but still - I'm doomed!
My cousin is coming from Bangalore and he's going to stay I don't know how long for some stupid training course of SIX F***ING months in his aviation thingy thingy. Damn him. Couldn't he go somewhere else?
So that's that. I'm doomed in more way than one. That's as eloquent as I can get now.
Bye.

KLAAS

KLAAS
Klaas’ fascination of putting on electronic sounds was aroused within the Cologne club scene in the late 90ies: He debuted with several releases and approached ambitiously the art of mixing sounds. Soon after, the open-minded Cologne based DJ moved forward to the energetic electro-sound producing his first electro-vinyl Slip & Slide with Micha Moor for the Cologne label Scream and Shout Recordings, which paved directly the way onto the playlists of reputable DJ celebrities. From then on, there was no way to stop him making a go of his passion.
The releases Get Twisted and Confession were placed in the Top 5 of the German Dance Charts. Following remixes for several DJs like Dr. Kucho & Gregor Salto, John Morley, Chrissi D! and Jens Lissat, Klaas prepared the UK Chart-Act The Freelance Hellraiser and, together with another Sony BMG UK-Act, the remix Klaas vs. I’m Finn – I Love You at the end of 2006.
His distinctively energetic style of sound is also convincing for his Swiss followings. Accordingly, no less than DJ Antoine ordered a Klaas remix DJ Antoine – This Time, which is included within the current Egoiste release.
Following the worldwide resonance, remix inquiries of pop music celebrities won’t be long in coming. Only a few weeks ago, Klaas mixed the recently released single Version of “No Angels – Goodbye To Yesterday” by transforming the popstars-like sound to an electronical house-mix – excellently suitable for clubs.
However the Cologne whiz kid is unstoppable: Despite several remixes amongst others for Eddie Thoneick, Erick Decks and Aston Martinez, he focuses constantly on his own productions: So, the new release Micha Moor – Music is Dope produced by Klaas&MichaMoor came in april – one more time with strong vocals and sounds and ready to rock you!
Also for his Scream&Shout co-worker Micha Moor he worked out even a dual-remake of the forthcoming release “Micha Moor – Space” and delivered two as usual massive but independent mixes. The “Klaas Club Mix” became a worldwide success and topped both the Beatport and German Dance Charts at number 1 slot for weeks.
Finally in November of 2007 Klaas.. higly anticipated third solo-single “The Way” is released, by which Klaas is setting new standards. With his three solid clubmixes he shows his wide range variety in the electrohouse genre. At once in the first week “The Way” was placed at number 2 slot of the German Dance Charts.
Just back from his almost three-week dj-tour through Australia and Newzealand he made in the beginning of 2008 his new reworks of well known classics like „Guru Josh - Infinity“, „Horny United - Crazy Paris“, or “G&G – My My My”. All of these records made the way to the top 10 of the German Dance Charts.
Further dj-tours of Canada and Australia make his fourth release only in May 2008 possible. To “Feel The Love” he contributed again three strong mixes and thus he proved once more his extreme flexibility and versitality as an Electro-House producer.
See? That's what his account on MySpace says. He's got some real good stuff going about him.
Of what I've heard of his music he experiments a little after every couple of tracks with a slightly different sound. They're all upbeat and whichever Klaas track has vocals, it's catchy because of it. Day by day he's becoming more and more global. Like Armin Van Buuren. In his case, not only house, trance and progressive buffs have heard of him but also those who listen to pop and watch Mtv and Vh1. Between Micha Moor and Klaas, I vote: Klaas! His tracks have variety but they seem to blend in together and they're not very repetitive.
Inspite of "Infinity"'s massive success, I think he could have done a better job on it. His remixes of "Pilling me" and "This Time" are more energetic and vibrant but hey, I'm not complaining as long as he's around and doing is own thing.
He sort of blends electro and house along with some pop-ish tunes (like the vocals and electric guitars here and there). The end result is fun, fresh and I love it!
My current favourite is his remix of DJ Shumilin's "Roller Head". It's stuck in my head!
Well, anyway, that's the end of this post. Go Klaas!

10 hours of buzzz
And I've started coughing again. Oh, I soooooo needed that. As if D-day wasn't enough. What am I being punished for? Sneaking into the kitchen at midnight to have those delicious chocolate cookies? Why dear god, you wanted them? you should have told me!
One good thing is that Dad is planning to buy a new computer. This one is worse than a pile of short-circuited wires with a clown hat on the top. My y key doesn't work so I have to keep copy pasting the damned thing. The monitor keeps going off on its own and you'd have thought it liked winking too much. I don't even want to get started on my CPU. Here's the gist, it would have worked better if I threw it out my window and then plugged it in again. And I live four floors up. I mean jeeeeeeeeeeez you're the machine, not me!! I haven't been programmed to struggle for half an hour to get you switched on!!
So dad's going to buy me an external hard drive. yay!!! 150 GB nothing fancy but still... And I have heaps of music, movies and pictures and that HDD is my only hope. Amen.
So, well. Today wasn't very bad when it came to my progress in Doomsday preparation. I did Magnetism and its numericals, Ethers and a bit of Integration.
Tomorrow, I'd like to do a special on Klaas. On this blog, not my studies. Duh. A taste of him, a taste of me, eh? If you're a house or an electro house buff, you'd have heard of this guy. He's been around since the late 90's though I got into house just last year =D Ok, so more on him tomorrow!
Byyyyyyyyyyyyyyye

Yawwwwnn - 2nd edition (already!)
Yeah well I'm pretty out of it today so it'll be best if I shut up because I'll only whine and it won't be the kind you could enjoy. Smash your monitor more like. See? That's the best I could come up with!! Arrrrrrrrrrrgh
Ok bye

Yaaaaaaaaawn
Not even sharpen my blade, get red eyes ( I mean RED ) and grow claws. Who would that be? Hmm...
And no, not even sneak out, get on a helmet, fly out of Nofra in a motorcycle and save the day! er..night.
No what I do is....nothing. Depends on your meaning of nothing, but I gave you my meaning of not nothing. Get it?
Take today for example. Tip toe tip toe, wish you were alone, tip toe tip toe, put the Pepsi in the fridge to make it cold, tip toe tip toe, open the door, tip toe tip toe....And watch Prince Caspian. With Lays. Some American thingy thingy flavour. It was ok. And not a roach in sight!!!! hah! So I was up till 4 a.m. Lot of good that did me. I woke up at 9.30 and obviously there was no running water. Huh. A running nose yes, not running water. And I prefer the latter.
I like plain running too. Speed, to be more preise. Hence my liking for cars and Edward Cullen (but speed's just one of the reasons, if you catch my drift). It's not anything my Internet connection is good at. That's why I have to keep the stupid thing on for 16 hours straight for a 300 MB file. Loser. And I'm supposed to be eco-friendly. Balderdash when it comes to this fat chunk of wires, plastic and nothing else. I want a laptop!!!!!!
I don't think I'll be going to a hostel after all. Dad's staying till end 2010 at least. Great. I haven't had time to weigh the possibilities of that. I'll let you know when I do that. And tell you if the whole thing will lead to an unfortunate, untimely and totally undeserved death of me!!
Sorry for the morbid state of my future expectations. I'm not morbid. Not at all. Get it?
macabre
sick
unhealthy
unwholesome
cadaverous
corrosive
dark
diseased
dreadful
gloomy
grim
grisly
Hmm... I pick unhealthy. Skinny as I am. No! No! Honest! I don't have a morbid personality! As you know, I'm scrupulously honest =D
Yea well, I have to go study now. I wished they taught us better things like making machine guns, tanks, poisons....Not morbid! Not morbid!
Wish me luck. Doomsday is 21 days away! (20 for the French haha)
RPL
Today, I'm a student. Gag.,\
Really, most times, I think I should just give up civilization and live in a forest. Or something like that. Or give me an enchanted something which I can use to transport myself into fantasy world. Better.
But noooooooooooo here I am, stuck on poor planet Earth. She who's heating up a tad bit too fast for anybody's liking. But I supposed She's used to all sorts of crap. A billion years ago, she was just a few pieces of rock. Now, she's a planet! Woot!!
Yeah well, I'm still a student. Wonder how many million years it'll take for me to get older? I guess I'm not very different from a few pieces of human right now. My brain's in tatters and so is this dratted computer. Loser thing. Dad's going to reformat it. PERCY JACKSON!!
O' greatest of all days, (I really hate my y key. Fingers like a hammer) 5th may!! Can you not come sooner? I shall go cold and grey by the time you arrive; my life a meandering wisp in the stampede of other poor souls that walk this planet.
I wouldn't mind you either: 12th march. Some relief but not quite.
Actually I'm waiting for 8th May.
Oh well.
Thank you, O! reader of this post. I'm sure I've confused and befuddled your mind with my crazed mumblings. But do come again and you could get dazed rumblings.
Peace man.
First Post
Hoot to Aashna =D
Go Gory!!!
Glory?
Foooooooooooooooooooooooooood
Ok that's it.
Shut up.
Fine.
Fine.
