Woah!

Isoge! Isoge!!

I need to hurry up. My last exam for this summer starts shortly and I need to revise some last minute stuff I forgot yesterday.
When I was doing my daily good-morning-browsing through my internet bookmarks I saw that SC released another PV. I actually thought it would be out tomorrow! OH well~

Since I don't have a lot of time to make this post a longer one - here it is:

Berryz Koubou - RIVAL

Nearly done

Time for a short update!

My second exam is over and it was pretty pleasant, which really means nothing more than that. I have no idea if I passed or not.
Nevermind then.

One other exam coming up next tuesday after that I'll be able to get some more stuff done.

It also seems like next tuesday there'll be 2 new releases.

Laters~

Cute Boyfriend

Hey guys!

Just a short update inbetween revising for my upcoming exam on Friday.

H!F finally released another PV.

It actually was done last week, but SC decided to space the releases out a little so we'd get more exposure. That's fine with me.

Here's what we got for you:

Melon Kinenbi - Kawaii Kare

A beautiful song from the girls. We later found out that there was some kind of get-together scene at the end of the PV, which pleased us to no end. That's how we like to see our girls.
Unfortunately, the band disbanded in early May after nearly 11 years of making music together. We were glad that we were able to put out the other 3 PVs of the girls around that date in May and now here's the last one we had planned for that occation.
We're just a little late - sorry about that. But I was really busy with other stuff and then I didn't have the motivation to actually work on it. And now, since I'm back to study-mode again, my subber-motivation is back. HAHA! Yeah, that really happens every time I'm right in front of some stupid exam. Oh well. Let's just hope I passed this time!

Oh, before I forget it - here's a picture!

Another release is comming up next week so stay tuned!
A hint: There's a rival out there.........

First exam over...

this was Round One out of Three!! I hope the others go well too

Awesome Day

Have an awesome day!

And be at least as awesome as this cute little guy is!

(That's the stuffed pet my aunt had with her at the hospital yesterday.

His name is Hand-full, because he can easily sit in the palm of my hand)

New releases coming up!

Exams...

Hi there.

I'm feeling stupid again.

Exams are coming up and what am I doing? Working on Karaoke, again. Every time right before my exam week comes up I tend to fall back to this work routine. It's also, in 99% of the time, the time when I get most of my stuff done. Funny how that works!

Anyway.

Seems like my HD is dead again. On the up side - I was able to actually save all the data that was stored on it. I'm so glad! I’m going to get some more stuff done and then… well, we decided to make another run on ICC10 tonight. Not sure if it’s really going to happen, but since on Wednesday they’re going to reset the IDs we’re going to just try it.

Catch you all later!

... finally!

YAAAY! After another bout of wiping around the floor and generally having a lot of fun with those ICC Boss Monsters we finally made it past Lady Whisper's Horror Chamber and even got to do the Air Fight!

I don't exactly remember how often we wiped at Lady but I stopped counting at around 12 times.

I'm just happy that we got to have a great group, with great people in it, that said: "okay, we all died but then it was fun. Let's do it again!"

Thank you all for joining us. I hope we'll see you back at Boss Fight 4!!

It seems like our dream for a serious and steady ICC10 Boss Raid isn't just a dream anymore! WOHOOO!!!

First ICC10 Guild Raid

Today was our very first WOW guild-intern Raid in ICC10. Unfortunately we didn't get very far as we had a very hard thunderstorm right before we wanted to kill the Lady in the first wing.

We were pretty inexperienced but had a few experienced ppl in the raid which helped us a lot. We didn't quite wipe as many times as I thought we would. YAAAY!

Here's a first picture right before we wiped the very first time at Marrowgar. It only took us 3 tries to get it done properly.

Computer Crisis

Hello guys.

Thanks for all the (private) messages I got.
Unfortunately I couldn't save any of my files. The good thing is that my new external HD with 2TB Save just arrived. I'm quite happy about it. Will install it soon.

Hopefully I'll be back online and able to download again soon.

Greetings!


Addendum:
Woah - seems like my HD likes me again. I just saw that it works again. Woooot?!

Sad News

I've got pretty sad news.

First, sorry for not being around. Since I came back home from my grandparents place my home system is going bogus on me, I couldn't really work on anything and it is awefully hot here (sidenote to self: you definitly should invest in air conditioning *sweat*).
Then, the worst of the worst things happend:


HARDWARE CRASH!!


My Download/RAW/Anime/Dearest-to-my-heart HD  decided to tell me it's going to walkout on me. I'm pretty sure it's a rebellion. Really. Cause, right before I left everything was fine. I turned down the computers, unplugged them and even made sure there's no apparent electricity turned on around them. They should have been well rested when I came home afterr that week. I thought they would purr for me again, telling me: "Yes, welcome home! We're ready to work with you again."
Guess again.
Now I've lost around 500gig of the latest raws I had stored. All the anime stuff I still had wanted to keep and some other stuff.

My main HD is thinking about a strike. I think I can smell it - or maybe that's just the heat.

So, to come to a conclusion: Sorry, can't work on anything right now. Computer not working properly. Need new HD. *sigh*

Oh, and to make things worse..................... Exams coming up! HA!

just finished reading this. going to be home soon...

Last day in paradise

Time sure flies!

I really haven't realized yet, that I actually am going home today.
The two additional days with my grandparents were just mag. I love how they enjoy every day and it's nice to see the garden blooming outside; not that we had a lot of chance going out since it's been raining nearly the whole week. Well, okay, last weekend was very, very, veeeery sunny. But since then it's been constantly dark, cloudy and rainy, with a little hail and thunder inbetween.
I still think that I love this life. I definitly have to get a garden and a house one day. My appartment's pretty dark - maybe it's time to renovate? Up until now I didn't have a green thumb for anything that's considered vegetation. But I don't give up. If I look at all the wild flowers and the petunias my granny is potting I get this longing, though I really don't think I should start gardening in my miniscule rooms. It would be diffrent if I had a balcony. Oh well, since I don't let's dream on.

On a bright note - and with all the sunshine outside - I was able to finish translating three whole episodes in the last two days. I actually only planned on doing two, but ended up doing all the ones I still had with me - which is three. We're now officially at episode 16 - only another 10 to go until Connichi (I think the series had 26 episodes, total). I guess I'm actually going to keep my goal. WOAHs!

Since I still have some time left before my train leaves - it's not now (stupid typo - I always type it wrong in the first try) half past three and the train is going at half past seven. We're going to have dinner around five. Guess I'm going to get these two PVs done before I leave.


Beware:
Clover MV
AKB48 - Sakura no Shiori

I'm so glad!

Addendum day 6

Hey there again!

Sorry, I know - there was a flood of posts today but I wanted to keep up with all the affairs and started typing them out early this morning and tried to set the date of the post to previous days to make it look a little more realistic.

After writing up the last post of day 6 a few things happend - most of them not very "exciting" so I'm not going to share. There are probably only 2 or 3 more exciting news.

First would be  xD I helped out my gramps fixing a hook on this tractor (see pic on the side). The pic was after we fixed it, of course. One of the steel ropes he uses to haul tree trunks around was eroded and he decided to cut the piece with the problem off and make a new hook. Easier said than done. That was sweaty work - I tell ya! I really needed that shower after it. We had to hold the freaking cable with four hands (grannys and mine) while my gramps fixed the hook and stabilized it. I had a cramp in my left hand right after that - just before he rapped my left hand knuckles with his hammer. OUCH!

Luckily nothing serious happend and I had a relaxing shower and footbath right after that. I so deserved it!

Then when I was looking up train connections for my ride home tomorrow it seemed like there were no connections between 9.30 am and 6 am the following day anymore. WHAT THE HELL?!?!?! Up until now there was at least one more connection around 7pm for all the late travelers.
Seems like they cut the connection - huh.

Well. Since I don't want to be home this early tomorrow (would be home at around 11am) I decided to stay another day - because, amazingly enough - there's a 7pm train connection on Saturdays. Who would have though?! This is actually pretty logical - first of all I came late to my grandparents placed last Saturday when I arrived here - it was shortly after 6pm. I kinda messed up the whole day and ended up in bed pretty early. And now should I miss a whole freaking day again (this time it's a friday) just to be home really early and end up playing Warcraft because I'm bored out of my wits?

Well, guess again. I'm staying here. Right were I am - well, maybe not in from of the computer... heh

There's one other thing - unfortunately I didn't get a lot of things done. Family and relaxation came first. But on a bright note I finished translating one Anime Episode and I'm nearly done with Episode 2. Isn't that great? I'm happy I at least got that done. Whew!

Maybe I'll be able to get a PV or two done tomorrow and on Saturday! That would be great.

Well that's it folks! I'm going to bed after I finish translating that show.
Good Night and hear you guys either tomorrow or after the weekend!

day 6 - my last day?

Today is my last day here.
The weather seems to be fine - actually the sun is burning down and we're awaiting the thunderstorm that should go through here soon. At least the forecast told us so. Right now, though, we have blue skies, but that doesn't mean anything here. It only means that the thunderstorm later will be really bad.

Yesterday the weather was really horrible. The first time ever we had a tornado here in Austria. Everyone is still in shock. We can't really wrap our minds around it. Also, more than one person died due to the thunderstorm, hail and floodings that we had yesterday. It seems that a thunder also crashed in our house here but since we had everything turned out it didn't cause any damage.

My granny fixed something on the baldachin for Lisa - I told her she had to do it the other way around but she still did it diffrently the last time so now today she fixed it. Now it looks even better! I think my cousin will be happy.

We're going to have lunch soon. Potatoes, spinach and sausages. YAY! I'm looking forward to it!
After that I'll try to get some work done but since I'm going to go home tomorrow morning I won't be able to get a lot done.
It seems like the train times were shortened again and so there's no train going from here to Vienna after 9.28am tomorrow morning. Seems like I had my holidays but without having time to really do anything.
I didn't even have time to finish the books I took with me. Normally I'm able to finished 2 to 3 books in a week - but this week I barely finished one!!!!!

O_O''''

Oh well. I'll survive and everyone else will to if I don't get the stuff done. I don't really care anymore.
It'll be done when it's done.

Time for Lunch! ByE!

day 5 - it could only get better

That's what you'll probably think but yesterday was horrible - well, mostly.
It started out by me waking up very late. It seemed to have rained during the night because everything was wet. It was nearly 9.30am so I hurried to get some breakfast and then take my laundry outside. The sun was shining again and we wanted to do the laundry and hang it up to dry in the sun. The dark laundry was able to finish drying but after lunch and a well deserved nap it started to rain - and rain hard.
The downpour was really hard. It was grey and dark and our white laundry was still hanging outside on the line to dry - ha ha ha - well, now it was rain-washed, again. Since I just woke up from my catnap I walked down and got some hot cocoa and a small piece of cake. My gramps came back from doing some woodwork and he decided to also take a nap - so now, since it was dark and raining and we didn't have anything to do, we all took another nap.
I decided to listen to a radio play of The Three Investigators and crawled into bed while playing on my IPhone. Since it was raining so hard and we had a thunderstorm right on top of us I couldn't go and work on my computer.

That afternoon my aunt called and since my granny just finished making a fancy cake with cherries my aunt decided to drop by for cake and dinner. That was fun, but again I didn't have time to work on my computer. *sigh* Later that evening I watched "Stargate Universe" and after it I went to bed. I was still tired - seems like the weather played a trick on me - and fell a sleep really fast.

The day was funny. I loved having my aunt here and an old friend of the family came by too - unfortunately now the cake is nearly gone *cries* And I had requested it since I hadn't had a cake for a looooong while.

day 4 - working, or not?

Today I hoped to get a little work done!
I woke up early and was full of energy. After an early breakfast I helped my granny with cooking. The weather was fine so I enjoyed reading my book outside and generally enjoy the sun.
I didn't get a lot done today. We finished working on the piece for Lisa - it's a kind of baldachin for one of her dolls. It looks quite lovely. Now I've got the table for myself and can finally get some work done - hopefully.

But in the end I ended up doing nothing. The day went by in a breeze. I took an early shower and later watched some TV. One of my favourite shows were tonight "A home in happiness", where a crew of craftsmen renovate a very old house for a family that is not capable of doing it themselves. My grandparents decided to go to bed early and I watched the show alone. Later I found a few documentaries on TV - one was about the biggest kids in the world.... WOW!

It was after 3 am when I went to bed... *yawns*

day 3 - ouch, sunburn

After a fitful night of sleep we drove off to visit my grannys sisters. We were invited to lunch and coffee. The sun was shining pretty hard and after lunch we went outside. My gramps and the husband of my grannys sister went into the barn to check out some new equipment he bought. After that we all started to trudge around the property. The daugther of my grannys sister built a house right next to the one we stayed in and they were also renovating the very old farm house they had their business rooms in. Naturally we had to check everything out - and I was trudging around right after them, after I had all three furballs on my lap and they had their due scratching. I was covered in gray and white hair after that.
They had a really sweet and jung dog who was covered in loooong long hair and two seamese gray-brown cats which I pitied because it was scortching hot and they had a lot of fur.

For coffee all the other sisters arrived and we had a merry round. I really enjoyed the food but again I was not fit for conversation. I guess it's just not my forte if it's not about music, games or books. *sigh* I held on until shortly after 3 pm. Then I gently nudged my grandparents to go home. My gramps still wanted to haul in the hay this afternoon and my granny and me wanted to start on something for Lisa.

So off we went - and I had a nasty sunburn in my face and on my cleavage. Ouch!

day 2 - numb thumbs

Since I came here a on a very short notice only my grandparents and my favourite aunt knew that I was here. This sunday my Uncle, her wife and my cousin announced themselves to come over for Lunch and Dinner and to have a little chat and to catch up with current affairs. I was pretty lucky. My little cousin - who started to go to school last autumn - is really funny to play with. Even though I'm actually 25 I still enjoy playing around with her. I don't know why, but I'm not into adult talk. I wouldn't know what to say and I probably couldn't say anything anyway so I'd sit around, stare dumbly at a corner and hope nobody starts talking about me, student life in general or anything related to being fat or having to go on a diet. *sigh*
Those are basically the topics they always cover when I'm around - which is why I'm not around.

I snatched up my little cousin - by the name of Lisa, btw - and dragged her off to watch the Sunday Märchen/Fairytale on TV (each Sunday there's a new Märchen running on that channel and I really enjoy watching it). So, we were treated to a new running of "Cinderella", which was actually nice. They tried to go away from the Cinderella everybody knows from Disney and go back to a fairly accurate version of the märchen by the Grimm Brothers. I actually liked it - though they tried to experiment with mood coloring and music. That was pretty annoying, but oh well. I still have to say that I like the Czech version of that story the most - even though it's old and not very accurate.

After that Lisa and I started to play with her Nintendo DS. She wanted me to try to open a few gates in her new game - a game with a turtle named Franklin. We successfully finished 7 levels before my thumbs began to get numb. So later we went a little outside. I enjoyed the sun while Lisa gathered me a few dandelion leaves so we could start making a crown. That was fun. My fingers were all sticky and green after that, but Lisa hat a lot of fun which is what I wanted.

Later we had Dinner - my grandfather has his own schedule which is why every day shortly after 5 pm we have to have dinner, but today we were late. It was after 6pm and it was very yummy. After that Lisa went back to watching TV. Her kids shows started and if she's alone she's not watching them, but she loves to watch them - guess what?! Yeah, I was watching them with her. We were able to watch a few shows before her parents decided to go.

After everyone was sent off I kissed my grandparents good night and went to bed. I was able to finish the book I was reading - Glory in Death by JD Robb - and started on the third installment of the series - Immortal in Death.

day 1 - nothing eventful

It's been a while since I had my last real holiday. Amazing enough I consider a holiday at my grandparents place in the alps as the ultimate holiday. It's beautiful here. We're smack-dap in the middle of the woods with another two houses in the clearing. Round us there's lots of wood and grassy streches. A few feet from here is a small trickling stream which how longer you follow it the bigger it gets.
Spring's finally here. Everything is green. You can even see how the trees around us grow.

The first day was pretty uneventful. We didn't do a lot because I came in late. Just a late dinner and a little TV watching with my grandparents. After that I went to bed and read a little (as you can see in my previous post I was really tired).

Catch you all later!

tired

I finally arrived and pretty tired so I'm heading to bed in my Snoopy
PJ's and call it a day. Tomorrow some family is coming over, so no
time to actually get something done, but there's always Monday!! ....
hopefully @_@••~
