As you can see, I made some little changes in my Blog layout. Replaced the static images of BoA with moving ones and my download block is right above it. (The links expire after a month without downloads.)
Going to make some new buttons as well, with possibly a new blog category called Movies. Every week, I'm going to talk a bit about a movie I watched that week. Expect the first rant to arrive next Sunday. I'm unsure which movie will be first, but I'm thinking about Tae Guk Gi - The Brotherh
Met up with IXI today and, as always, we had a lot of Burnout fun. Crashing into each other, blowing each other into little pieces... Awesomeness. Also, IX gave me some money to buy him an album; 2 Days or Die by Atlas Plug. We've been after that album for years now, literally.
Also got some more music... A lot of songs by Dragonforce, which sound awesome. Got some Ayumi Hamasaki songs as well, they're great too. I also have a trancey remix of the song Aces High, it's sweet. Some songs by BoA
I got a new signature and avatar. They're still BoA, don't worry. They're made from pictures from this year's Olympus camera company photoshoot, who casted BoA as their model. And I'll be featuring these photos as my signoffs in my blog. One at a time, so get collecting. You'll need to click on the thumbnails for the full versions though...
Well, I know the title of BoA's latest single, which is called Winter Love and it features the following songs:
CD
01. Winter Love
02. Candle Lig
I hate being ripped off. Especially when it's by the phone company. That's right, I got a large phone bill last week. It appears that I called a certain phone number 89 times.... in less than 2 hours! (The entire amount of the bill was €62.01.) So I called them a couple of times and they said that they made no mistakes. And when I asked if I could get the money back that I paid too much (they took the money off my banking account the day after I got the bill). And they said no. And I don't accep
OMG, HOMG, ZOMG... Hawwah...
Just found out that BoA's latest single is going to be a ballad, celebrating her 5th anniversary as a singer in Japan as wel as her 20th birthday. Her ballads are always great.
She'll also kick off her acting career soon, soo that's even more exciting. Even though I'm worried about the tension being too much for her, but that's just me.
I would link to the article, but since it's on a site with forums, I'm not allowed to.
Something different:
I hate infections, especially when they're on your middle finger. Had one this week and it didn't feel good. Playing first-person shooters didn't really work with the WASD layout. <.<
Feh.
Moving on to some other things...
Almost completed my side of the requests in the Teahouse. Dunno how far IXI is with his requests. Might make another edit tonight as well, maybe even some Terragen landscapes. I hope Terragen won't crash on me again. -.-;;
Hmm...
I could make a bunch of s
As you might see, I've adopted my new sig/av theme and I love it. It's based off BoA's latest single Key of Heart, which is the ending theme of the Japanese version of the animation movie Over the Hedge. (The song People Say... by BoA is the ending theme of the Korean version.)
Ordered a new dvd. The Love & Honesty 2004 Tour by BoA. Found it for only $17.99 somewhere.
The Antaeus didn't make it into the LGD finals, unfortunately. Ah well, more pieces and better luck next time.
I
Key of Heart...
...
Sorry.
Finally got around to watch the Key of Heart music video by BoA, which was filmed in California. The music video looks great. Thus I'll shed my Dakishimeru av/sig theme for the Key of Heart theme when the LGD contest is over.
Also got around to check a certain website about my status for the Official Global BoA Fanclub and my registration is complete.
Finally. Now I gotta wait for the package whch will contain a fanclub ID card and a letter etc. Can't wait.
Well, my LGD 4 entry is posted right here. So vote vote vote (when the voting topic arrives)!! Might make a single seater version of it when the contest ends.
The Teahouse appears to be in a slight state of chaos, going to have to work on it with IX.
My latest edit is somewhere on page 4 or 5 of the Bionicle Artwork I forum now... Bummer.
Went to IX today. We had fun with Burnout Revenge (as always ) and IX also took the pics for my entry. Thanks and Kudos for you Pixie. ^^
Al
Well, my LGD entry, dubbed TS-DTM-040² Equilibrium, is done. All I need to do now, is to take some spiffy pics. I'll tell what's behind the registry number of the Equilibrium in my entry topic. And yes, I named it after a movie.
~~~~~~
Well, I bought Iron Maiden's latest album this week, which rocks my socks off. The songs on it are great. Also, today also saw the arrival of Key of Heart and Resolution, the singles I ordered a couple of months ago. I knew what KoH sounded like, but I didn
...And the quick fix became a little disaster. The replacement didn't fit. It was too big.
Oh, bugger...
Anywho... Got around to watch my latest dvds and they were sweet. Equilibrium is just too awesome. And Scary Movie 3 is just funny. Too bad it isn't very BZP appropriate...
Still need to watch the Best of Soul Perfect Edition dvd, but I don't know when's the perfect time. Maybr tonight, maybe next weekend. Who knows?
Listening to some great classical/piano covers of X Japan songs
Dear diary. ( )
As you might know from this entry by IXI, we had a lot of fun today. Especially when the blackout occurred.
Resident Evil: Apocalypse was awesome, gotta have it on DVD.
Speaking of DVDs, I bought Equilibrium and Scary Movie 3 today. Going to watch one of them tonight...
I'm listening to the CD First Rain by The TRAX right now and it's still great. It's refreshing. Like the thunderstorms earlier today.
And...
Oh noes... just found out that the Best of Soul Per
Life:
IXI came over today, we had a lot of Burnout fun again. Crashing... exploding... even finishing at the exact same time once. Had some nice revenge takedowns as well.
And my vacation is officially over now. <.< Bummer.
Orders/Music:
My orders have arrived, sort of. My pendant is hanging around my neck, but the BoA and TRAX cds are still over at IXI's place. Also going to buy IXI a wallscroll next week. He already gave me the money for it, so that isn't a problem.
And my nex
Hmm, seems I got Blog of the Week. Sweetness. And surprising.
My thanks goes out to everyone who made Possum's Hideout as popular as it is right now. And let us keep it that way.
And I think I'll keep this entry short.
Music/Orders & Life
Everything's going as planned right now: The orders are on their way, the Lordi tickets are in and I still have one week of vacational relaxation left. Going to spend it wisely. Online and offline, of course.
Ow, and err.... The new order con
This little cool pendant is on its way as we speak. It's so awesome.
And I'm a bit torn as what to buy right now. Shall I buy BoA's Love and Honesty Tour 2004 DVD or BoA's Best of Soul Limited CD + DVD Edition (Overseas Version)? I can't decide.
BOS Perfect is a strictly limited edition version which is for sale for only $19.99...
L&H is a bit more expensive, but it's at a limited discount for $ 26.90.
Hmm, any advice? And if I do BOS, I can buy the latest album of The TRAX
You might have noticed it already, but IXI and Valenti have opened their own little teahouse/ banner and avatar shop in COT. So I say, come over some day and have a look around.
And I made some more changes to my blog's appearance. Added some categories, along with corresponding buttons... Removed the calendar etc. Hope you like this little makeover!
Heh, I'm acutally closing in on the 3200 posts as well. And that's sweet, even though it's nothing compared to the 13748+ posts I have in CO
Hmm, maybe it's time to give you guys some insight in my blog entry titles... As of some time ago, I started to use song titles for my blog entries, but why? Why would Val use song titles for blog entry titles?
Well, the answer is quite simple. It's my own little version of the "What Are You Listening To..." topic. That's right, the title is from the song I'm listening to when I finish my blog entry. And it also saves me the trouble of thinking of a good title for my blog.
As you might ha
Mreh, I was so close in buying the latest albums by Slayer and Stone Sour, but then I remembered that I still have to pay my mother money for a DVD player... <.<;; So I'll have to wait. Again. And again.
I was really looking forward into buying them today, especially since they aren't officially out yet. Oh well... At least I got some new headphones for my mp3 player.
Well, all my orders have arrived (except for the pre-orders), so that's also a definite plus.
Going over to IXI
Finally, vacation! No need to rush for 3 entire weeks!
Woke up a little grudgy this morning, because I realised that the chance to become a member of the Global BoA fanclub has plummeted. Because those darn people at the bank forgot to enter the frackin' banking account number of the recipient! Going to have to give them a call tomorrow morning.
On a much better note, 2 orders have arrived: The one from Nippon Export and one Yes Asia order. So I'm happy again.
So that's 3 orders left
Time for a new blog entry, I guess...
I finally picked up the Guns n' Roses/Bloodsimple/Stone Sour photos yesterday with IXI accompanying me. Also picked up a BoA album.
I was glad that the photos were pretty cheap, but I got rather disappointed that the pictures weren't the best. So much for a decent post or topic about them...
On a slightly better note, I'll be receiving 3 of the orders next week. I'm very curious about the Jade Empire soundtrack.
Also posted a showcase in Artwor
Just a quick one this time.

So I was cruising around the city with IX yesterday, and some German(?) dude asked me the way to the nearest coffeeshop. Which made me laugh my head off. (You know why if you read one of IX's blog entries.)
Different subject.
One of my latest 4 orders will arrive either tomorrow or next Tuesday, so I'm pretty excited about that. The second one arrives in a week's time. The third one will arrive the week after that and the last one will arrive some time in August.
And I might be able to
Ya know, it was a very relaxed day today. Had some fun at my...joblike thingy and to hit the nail on the head, I slammed with my hand on a piece of wood that had a nail in it. Painful, but I didn't care. I had too much fun.
Yesterday was fun s wel, since I got to blast IXI apart again with the rocketlauncher. He sniped me back though... He owns me a lot in Halo 2, but I don't really care. I think.
Also started a transfer to may PayPal account to buy him a poster. A nice looking poster. Th
Ack! I was so close... Went to a market yesterday and today and I was so close in finally buying a sword... Until I found out that I didn't have enough money. <.<;; I asked my mother for some money so I can pay her back later and she refused.
Oh well...
On a slightly better note: I finally received my package this week. It contained BoA's debut album and the thing I was really waiting for: The Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children soundtrack. Japanese version. Possible next order wil
