Future Updates.

I've realised that i actually haven't posted a lot.
So something to look forward to in the nearby future is my posts on
Kara no Kyoukai.
Hellsing Ultimate (OVA 7 is cool!! Seras has AWAKENED!! >D >D >D!!!!! )
Aria (the manga)

Possibly Railgun, Tales of Symphonia, The Five Star Stories(movie).

I might suggest you follow me on GoogleReader. I tend to be more active there, sharing interesting stuff.

But over here, i'm "actively" posting comments and thoughts, where GoogleReader i just share whatever i find interesting. One of them was a Starwars Death Star in WaterMelon mode. XDD and other random news, e.g. Android being ported onto the iPhone, Steven Hawkin's thought on contact with aliens, some guy getting a lifetime ban on iPads, some FailBlog stuff. etc...

So yes, while i've been actually posting less, i'm not actually dead. So keep in touch~

Eden of the East Movie 1: King of Eden

As usual, i'm not going to do any summary of the movie. So if you haven't watched it. I say go watch it, especially if you enjoyed the series.

From where we were left off last time, with Takizawa apparently got his memory wiped (again xD) and had his request to become King accepted.

He also had left his phone with Saki.

I found this interesting. To be a King but without the power of Juiz. Wonder what he was thinking.
Nontheless we found out he's doing pretty well and meet the other Selecao. To which i'm surprised in the choice of Selecao no.6. Wtf is with him? The previous guys i can see something interesting to 'save' japan. But.. no.6....?
I'm not sold on him. i don't like his character. I found it happily that Juiz seems to not no.6 too xD

With more action picking up in the second half, it seems like all hell breaks loose with No.1's requests. Dam that bastard for his request. It's now akin to a 1 on 1 duel. (well... more like 3 on 1?) But then there are a few other Selecao who have yet to make an apperance if they ever will. But with No.1's information gathering ability against Takizawa's amnesia, its going to be a fairly interesting duel.

Almost like Nurture Vs. Nature.
No.1 is who is he is after gathering so much information and experiance with life.
Takizawa is... who he is himself naturally. Having no memories, his almost a blank slate and his so called 'base' nature is there.

Though this time, he's got Saki with him. So wooot~

Anyways, i'm looking forward to the next upcomming movie >__

hot water tanks.

well, after another 10 years since the fixing of our hot water tank. it has decided to fail a component, thus rendering our house with no easy access to hot water.

In light due to efficiency, our house had a gravity fed system. thus requiring less power for hot water to run. However, in light of modern times, this was phased out for the more modern hot water pump or solar hot water. With the tank no longer in the roof, but either outside the house or ontop of the roof. This in affect allows easier installation and access for maintenace. at the cost of efficiency.

So now, we have decided to 'modern' up on house. By installing a hot water pump.
In the event you are asking "Why not Solar you enemy of the earth!".
Well.. accordingly to feng shui of sorts, it is not good to have solar panels on your roof because it opens it up allowing good energy to escape and bad ones to flow in. How accurate this is, i don't know. I'm not feng shui master. I'm no academic of Feng Shui. I'm no practioner of Feng Shui. I don't have the spiritual senses to consciously detect anything beyond the 4th dimension. Non the less, installing a solar panel by putting a hole in your roof is no good.

Thus, leaving us to a hot water pump system. Due to our recent 'free' installation of insulation, we had lost that extra rebate -_-
*sigh*

thus further indebt we go.

But these 2 weeks of old fashion wasing. (Boiling hot water, mixing with cold water, scrub and rinse etc....) i believe has reduced our water bill a little bit =D afterall, the amount of water i use in a shower is frigging ridiculous. But being a stupid human, i shall still have hot long showers that burn and feel great.
perhaps this might be difference if i start using the ensuite.

Non the less, hot water is now available, and in good time as the weather is slightly cooling more at night now.

Anyways, i need to go. my thesis is awaiting me. fark.
