Cielos, pues sí que hace tiempo que no me paso por aquí...
Bueno, en estos meses han pasado varias cosas que supongo debería comentar. La primera de ellas es que desde el mes pasado estoy trabajando a media jornada. Mi empresa no tiene pedidos, y como siguen necesitando de alguien que lleve el papeleo, no les queda más remedio que reducirme la jornada. Estoy buscando algún empleo decente, pero... Como os podéis figurar, dada la situación, lo que encuentro es pura bazofia. Yo al menos tengo suerte y sigo trabajando, porque mi compañero fue despedido este mes y no me di cuenta de ello hasta que, después de dos semanas de ausencia en las que me habían dicho que estaba de vacaciones, se me ocurrió preguntar. Un desastre.
La verdad es que la empresa no va bien. Apenas tenemos pedidos y algunos de nuestros clientes no nos pagan. Nos han llegado a enviar un pagaré sin fondos, y tras seis meses de perseguirlos (dos antes del pagaré y cuatro después), se les ocurre entonces decir que no tienen dinero. Maravilloso, porque esa no era la única factura que tenían pendiente.
Como estoy ahora libre por las tardes, mi madre me secuestra para dar un paseo de hora y media. Llevo ya un mes haciéndolo. Está bien porque es un buen ejercicio. Por lo demás, tengo un bloqueo de escritor de los legendarios. Odio esas cosas.
Por ahora, ese es el reporte actualizado. Intentaré contar más cosas más adelante.
Really, it has been a long time since I last came here...
Well, there last months some things happened to me that I would like to comment. The first one is that since the last month I'm working half-time (or whatever you call it). My company doesn't have orders, and since they still need someone to make the paperwork, they didn't have other choice but to cut my working hours in half. I'm looking for a decent job, but... You may not know it, but here in Spain things are quite bad, and the few jobs I find are pure rubbish. At least I'm lucky and I still work, but my co-worker was fired this month, and I wasn't noticed until, after two weeks of absence that I was told he was on vacations, I thought about asking. A complete disaster.
The truth is that our company isn't going very well. We barely have any order and some of our costumers don't pay. We even had a paycheck that didn't have money, and after six months of calling them (two before we received the paycheck, and four after that) then they decide to tell us that they don't have any money. Great, since that isn't the only invoice the have to pay.
Since now I have my evenings free, my mother "abducts" me to take a walk of about an hour and a half. I've been doing that for a month now. It's nice since it's a good exercise. Besides that, I have one of those legendary writer's blocks. I hate those things.
This is the updated report for now. I'll try to tell more things later.

Ayer fue mi cumpleaños así que este sábado, como ya es tradición, nos fuimos unos amigos y yo a cenar a un japo. Nos lo pasamos bastante bien, hablando de videojuegos, mangas, y todas esas cosas de las que hablo cuando me junto con cierta gente. Puede que los regalos no parecieran tan espectaculares como los del año pasado (Kim me mima demasiado), pero los tomos del 1 al 34 de 3x3 Ojos en inglés todos metiditos en un DVD siguen siendo uno de los mejores regalos que he recibido en mi vida (lo repito, Kim me mima demasiado). Además de un videojuego de la PS2 de la gente de los Art Tonelico y los Atelier, y un fanfic para mi solita. Sí, me miman demasiado.
Ya el día de mi cumpleaños, tuvimos comida familiar, solo que no estaban dos de mis hermanos. La mayor estaba por ahí de vacaciones con su familia (y dado que solo los ve los fines de semana, es enteramente comprensible), y el menor de los dos chicos se había ido a ver a sus hijas que estaban de campamento. El mayor sí que vino, y me trajo el Sonic Chronicles, juego al que me he enganchado de mala manera en dos días (¡malditos seáis, Bioware!)
Así que aquí estoy... siendo un año más vieja XD
Yesterday was my birthday, so this last Saturday, as it is our tradition, I went with some friends to have dinner at a Japanese restaurant. We had plenty of fun, talking about videogames, mangas, and all those things I talk about when I'm with this people. Maybe the presents weren't as spectacular as they were last year (Kim spoils me too much), but the tomes 1 to 34 of 3x3 Eyes in English all in one DVD still are one of the best presents I've gotten in my entire life (I'll say it again, Kim spoils me too much). Also I got a videogame from the guys that made Art Tonelico and the Atelier games, and a fanfic just for me. Yeah, indeed the spoil me rotten.
On my birthday, I had lunch with my family, but two of my siblings weren't there. The eldest of them was on holidays with her family (and knowing that she only sees them on weekends, it's completely understandable), and the youngest of the two men had gone to see his daughters that were camping. My older brother did come, and he brought me the Sonic Chronicles game, to which I'm hooked on in two days (damn you, Bioware!)
So here I am... a year older than before XD

Esto se lo achaco todo a haber estado viendo Princess Tutu.
Estaba buscando ciertas piezas de música clásica que recuerdo de hace tiempo y que me gustaban. He conseguido encontrar datos de la mayoría de ellas, pero una se me escapa. Si alguien me echara un cable, le estaría muy agradecida.
Creo recordar que la obra que busco se llamaba "El desfile de los animales". No recuerdo el autor, y lo único que realmente recuerdo eran dos piezas en concreto: una con celesta, que representaba a los peces, y una con xilófono, que representaba a los fósiles (esta última era mi favorita). Si alguien la conoce y tiene datos sobre ella (como si me he equivocado de título, el compositor, etc.), le estaré muy agradecida si me deja un comentario.
This is all because I watched Princess Tutu a few days ago.
I've been searching for certain classical music pieces that I remember from some time ago that I liked. I managed to get data from most of them, but there's one that I can't find anything about it. If someone could help me, I would be most grateful.
I remember that the piece I'm searching was called "The animals parade". I don't remember the composer, and the only thing I seem to recall are two of the parts in particular: one played by a celesta (don't know the English name, is an instrument similar to a piano, but it can't maintain notes as the piano can) that represented fishes, and one played by a xylophone that represented fossils (that one was my favorite). If anyone knows about it and has data about it (such as if I gave the wrong title, the composer, etc.), I'll be very grateful if he/she leaves a comment.

All right, so a friend of mine turned me into a big fan of Vocaloid songs, mainly the ones made with the Japanese vocaloids. Funny enough, I haven't seen anything made with the English ones, or at least, anything nice (I saw one version of Kokoro sung by Leon, the American accent made me run away screaming my head off. Give the "man" an English song, for Eilistraee's sake!!!). For those around that don't know what this "Vocaloid" thing is, Vocaloid in itself is a program made by Yamaha that allows you to give an artificial song voice to a melody. Even though the base software was created by Yamaha, the complete program with the voice is made by other companies. One for the English voices and two for the Japanese voices. And I say two because Gackpoid, also known as Gakupo, the one made with Gackt's voice, is from a different company than the other ones.
So, visiting a website looking for Vocaloid lyrics, I saw something about a new Vocaloid, made with Nakajima Megumi's voice. Which made me jump and run to read something more, because Nakajima Megumi is the seiyuu for Ranka Lee from Macross Frontier, and I must admit that I love that voice. She did a really good work at that series, and I love both Seikan Hikou and her version of Ai Oboete Imasu Ka. It seems that the company that released Gakupo is the one releasing this new program. The name is Megpoid, and the name of the "mascot" is Gumi.
Ok, so the drawing for the cover isn't the usual and may seem a little "ugly" to those used to a more canonical look, but Gakupo's drawing isn't that nice, either. Also, the first you see the drawing, you're tempted to shout "RANKA!" at the top of your lungs, because the color scheme is the same as her "Seikan Hikou" dress, as I call that frilly, hideous thing (not because of the color, but because of all the frills). But if you stop and study the design, it's quite clever. Staying with the Seikan Hikou coloring seems a good idea, and they did brilliantly in this part. Also, the dress is much less frilly and a lot more daring, and even classical, even with the see-through undershirt. The drawing was made by the Masami Yuuki, manga artist for Patlabor and Birdy the Mighty among other things. The style may digress from the usual, with less round cheeks and a bigger nose, but I wouldn't call that ugly. In fact, at first I was a little taken back by the art, but the more I see and study it, the more I like it.
That said, I must confess I'm surprised at the incredible wave of hate against the design for Gumi. Ok, so I must admit that I'm very emotional about things I like and dislike (as a friend of mine can testify about the designs made by the author of Death Note for Castlevania), and I suppose I should wait the same from others, but... At this rate? I mean, man, you have to look under the stones to find someone who likes it O_OU Well, I may be exaggerating, my friend also likes the design and we were talking about this.
I hope to start seeing some songs from next June on with Gumi's voice. I'm hopping for a duet with Gakupo, I think those two voices will be pretty good together.

Well, maybe I should explain it better.
Entreri was our old computer. It ran on Windows 98 and the poor thing was nearly 10 years old. I started to call it Entreri after the second time it went to hell and had to be formated because of the stupid anti-virus. Mostly because my feelings towards that computer were pretty similar to the ones I had for the character. After about three years of being our only computer (soon we would get back our first computer, that runs on MSDoS and is STILL ALIVE), we had to buy a new one because our internet connection and most of the new things used USB ports and Entreri didn't have any. That was when Entreri was sent to our house in the town, and my father bought Lolth (bitchiest computer ever, and I have witnesses of what I'm talking about)
Two years, and five or six trips to the computer repair store, later, I went berserker and asked my father to buy a new, decent computer. Since the computer had never worked right, my father agreed, and we got Theon (yeah, I have a name for nearly every computer we get), that has worked fine except for a few times, and that shows a heavy dislike for any gamepad I buy for playing games. Anyway, since my father didn't want to get rid of Lolth, he ended up carrying it to our town, and brought back Entreri. Since then, Entreri had been my mother's computer. She played card games and used it to write things like contracts of letters and the like.
And, a few days ago, Entreri died.
I think, since my father was told that the thing was beyond repair, that the most probable cause is that something fried the main disc unit. It's kind of a sad thing, because I hoped that it would go on, much like the MSDoS one is doing (Uhm... Maybe I can call it GLADoS... yay for Portal jokes). Also, my mother liked the thing a lot, and she was pretty sad she had lost all of her games.
My father has bought a new one, because it was already a problem with both of us trying to use the computer, and him driving me nuts every time he tried something and it didn't work and "what the hell is going on with this thing come and solve it immediately", and now my mother would want to play cards when she had a few minutes to relax. My father tried to make the thing work, drove me crazy a few times, stole the USB mouse I had for my laptop, complained about it because it's transparent and has a blue light, told my mother about said mouse (she already knew, since she has seen me with my laptop a few times), stole the thing that allows Theon to connect to internet while I was using it, shouted for me to make the thing work a few seconds after, and ignored any advice I gave, even when he asked for them. So I started to hate the thing with a passion, even if I did not touch it in any way.
Man, I haven't touched Entreri for months, and now I'm missing it. It didn't give me these headaches.
Any good names for the new computer?

Hay veces en las que cojo una cosa de la estantería sin saber si me va a gustar, y acabo encantada de la vida.
Después del trabajo, he decidido irme a la Fnac, a buscar unas pocas cosas que tenía interés en conseguir. La primera visita a la sección de videojuegos no ha sido especialmente fructífera, pero no esperaba mucho, salvo poder decirle a Kim que no se tenía que tirar al cuello de la distribuidora que tendría que haber traído el Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2. Subrayo el TENDRÍA. Obviamente no lo ha hecho.
Segunda parada, la zona de películas. Aquí, a comprarme ya de una vez Historias de Terramar. Tengo que es la segunda vez que me pasa esto con una película de Ghibli. Con Neko no Ongaeshi, estuve dudando durante cerca de un mes, hasta que se me ocurrió echarle el guante. Había oído de Historias de Terramar (Gedo Senki), pero no mucho, y la verdad es que la consideraban un tanto inferior a las obras de Hayao Miyazaki. Pero seamos sinceros, Hayao Miyazaki es, en el mejor de los casos, inigualable. El caso es que, con mis dudas, cogí la película.
La última parte de la visita, a la zona de libros. Tras coger El Trono de Espinas, la última de Trinity Blood R.O.M, y encontrarme con el último tomo de Inu Yasha, me paso por información, para ver si por una puñetera casualidad tienen el segundo libro de Record of Lodoss War. Pues sí, lo tenían. Y la chavala entendía. Yo hoy iba de sorpresa agradable en sorpresa agradable. Encima me encuentro una caja sin nadie. Vamos, me faltaba ir dando saltitos por la calle.
En el autobús a casa me estuve leyendo el tomo de Inu Yasha. Para cuando llegué, estaba ya en modo fangirl histérico.
Y de pronto, me encuentro en una tesitura que no he visto en semanas: mi madre lejos de la tele, mi padre en la cocina viendo el futbol, y la tele del salón y el lector de DVDs abandonados por completo. Esta es la mía. Me hago palomitas, y en tres minutos estoy sentada en el sillón cual niña pequeña. Y ya acaban por darme la sorpresa del día. No solo la película me gusta, ¡me encanta! ¡Dragones, por Diox, dragones! ¡Y magos! ¡Y unas mujeres que a veces tienen más valor que los hombres! Vamos, que la he disfrutado de lo lindo.
Probablemente mañana, con unas cuantas horas de sueño y más tranquilidad, le empiece a encontrar fallos. Pero de momento, estoy feliz de haber comprado la película. Me ha gustado mucho. No es Mononoke Hime ni Sen to Chihiro, pero sí está al nivel de Neko no Ongaeshi, y cualquier cosa a ese nivel la considero muy buena.
Ojalá mis días fueran siempre tan buenos como este.

So the muse came today while I was looking at DeviantArt and hit me with her mace and made me work on the book I've been planning to write for Eilistraee knows how long. The last time she did that, I changed an entire ending and caused some of my companions at work ask me why did I have to write something so sad. This time, she got me out of a minor block and made me write for two and a half hours straight, to finish what seems to be the first chapter. After fighting with it for a few paragraphs, it nearly took me by surprise that I was able to pull a few pages.
I mean, my muse, whoever it is, tends to just step in, tell me a few things, and let me write the thing my way.
But at times, when she gets aggro, you better listen to her. Or else. So I had to go running into my room, get the pendrive where I have the document, and start writing like mad. I'm very happy with the result for now.
Maybe she should get aggro on me on more occasions XD

The day before yesterday, I was playing at PSU with a friend. This friend logged off from the game, since he was going to have lunch away, and I went to the bathroom before doing a few things and switching characters. When I came back, I found out that I had been kicked out of the server, and couldn't log back. I thought it would be a server manteinance, so I went to the computer to see when the server would be back. I even couldn't load the page. 'It seems all the Sega America servers are down', I thought, 'and I suppose they're having a lot of trouble, so I suspect that I won't be able to play for the rest of the day'. Since it was nothing I could solve, I decided to play Fate/Unlimited Codes instead.
Yesterday, the servers where up again, but I didn't want to play it and instead kept playing Fate/Unlimited Codes because I wanted to unlock Lancer's EX mission (I'm still laughing my head off with that mission). Today I came back and seems everything is normal. After playing for two hours, I decided to check for a few things that I was trying to find in the game. It was then that I found out that the Sega server incident was bigger than I expected. PSOWorld had an announcment about what had happened, with links to these two news:

It seems some idiots decided to cut a fiber-optic cable that led to some company's servers back at Silicon Valley, leaving a lot of places without internet and mobile phone connection. It doesn't anger me because of the PSU servers, since it's just a game. But they left hospitals and companies without communication and did a lot of harm to a lot of people. It would be understandable if, as it's said in one of the links, it was accidental. Those things happen and you can't blame someone for cutting that accidentaly. But doing it on porpose means that they didn't worry about the damage they could do to other people.
Also, it's worrysome that we depend on such a fragile thing. I mean, they cut about a dozen cables and a lot of places are unable to communicate in any way. Reminds me of .hack and all the background it has and makes you wonder if something like that could happen, and all the disasters it could cause. It's scary.
Well, I really hope they catch them. People should learn that actions have consecuences.

I'm playing Phantasy Star Portable, which is kind of a spin off from Phantasy Star Universe for the PSP. The game is quite nice, very addictive, and it is a very light version of the PSU online mode. One of the things that I liked is that, as you meet some of the NPCs, sometimes you get a conversation with them. But then you get some "WTH?" moments, just like this one.
( I swear to the Holy Light that I was just checking in for a mission )
Still, having some of the characters to talk to you in a more personal manner, just as if you have found them when walking down the street, is pretty nice.

Por fin he podido ver la quinta película de Kara no Kyoukai. Como ya dije antes, no había podido acabar de leer esa novela, así que no sabía del todo lo que pasaba. Solo diré que es una de esas cosas que satisfacen mi lado masoquista, porque lo he pasado verdaderamente mal en algunas partes (en serio, lo que no le pase al pobre Mikiya...) Así que hala, review al canto.
( Solo frikis de Type-MOON e interesados )
Ahora tengo ganas de ver la sexta, y a saber cuándo sale >_<
---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- ---
At last, I've been able to see the fifth movie of Kara no Kyoukai. As I said in my previous post in Spanish, I wasn't able to finish the novel, so I didn't know everything that happened there. I'll just say that this is one of those things that satiate my masochist self, because there were a few moments when I was feeling really worried (truly, what does not happen to poor Mikiya...). So you get a review of the movie.
( Only Type-MOON geeks and those interested )
Now I want to see the sixth film, and who knows when they'll release it >_

Pues estaba intentando encontrar un MP3 del tema de la cuarta peli de Kara no Kyoukai, Aria, y me encuentro con que los de GG y Mirror Moon ya han sacado la quinta, Spiral Paradox. Y yo con estos pelos. Justo la novela que no estaba traducida del todo y por lo tanto no sé realmente lo que pasa. Así que nada, a descargar... Y todavía tengo una cuenta pendiente con Utawarerumono... No, si a este paso sale la nueva de Slayers y yo tengo todavía cosas pendientes que ver... De buenas a primeras Gundam Seed (que no Destiny) y Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagan (¿sabéis que el Lagan es un río de Irlanda? Lo descubrí gracias a una canción de The Corrs) subtitulados por Nanikano, y Gundam 00... No, no me puedo quejar de no tener anime para ver, aunque sea todo de mechas.
Y bueno, lo siguiente es un rant, así que podéis saltaroslo.
( Mekton Z y Macross Frontier, mala mezcla XD )
Vamos, por pasar, paso de traducir el tocho a inglés. I'm sorry, Ehren ^^U

¿Cuánto hace que no me paso por aquí? Si hasta las telarañas parece que tienen vida propia.
Como el journal tenga ahora los "Ojos Místicos de Precepción de la Muerte" se va a encargar de él Aozaki Tohko, porque lo que es yo...
Llevo una semana o así pensando rescatar esto de las cenizas. También en volver a la remodelación de elfmaid.net. Eilistraee os pille confesados.
Ah, una chorrada que me he encontrado por ahí:
¿Pasa algo? Tengo cinco corazones con él en Macross Ace Frontier, y adoro el VF-27 Lucifer. Además, así tiene más fans que Alto en la página web :P
---------------------------------------- -----------------
How long has been since I last came here? I think the spiderwebs have developed a life of their own...
If the journal has gotten the "Mystic Eyes of Death Perception", Aozaki Tohko can take care of it, because if it depends on me...
I've been thinking about rescuing this journal from the ashes. I'm also thinking about returning to the redesign of elfmaid.net. May Eilistraee find you all confessed (I hate to translate Spanish phrases)
Ah, there's one silly thing I found:
Any problem with it? I have a five heart relationship with him in Macross Ace Frontier, and I just love the VF-27 Lucifer. Besides, that way he gets more fans than Alto in that website :P

Una está tan feliz jugando al RO con un caballero tio bueno haciéndole de tanqueta, y le hacen cerrar su partida para leer cosas como esta:
http://www.meristation.com/v3/des_notici a.php?id=cw4794960ef2dcf&pic=GEN
Ya es malo no tener vida social por culpa de los jueguecitos de marras (Kim, si me estás leyendo, tranquilo, el RO no impedirá que vaya al cine a ver pelis con mis colegas), pero de ahí a matar a un tipo porque estaba en otro clan... Es completamente enfermizo.
Mi fe en la humanidad disminuye por momentos.

I was happily playing RO, with a really hot knight acting as a tank, when they made me finish my play to read something like this:
http://www.meristation.com/v3/des_notici a.php?id=cw4794960ef2dcf&pic=GEN
Long history short, some people in Russia killed a guy because their clans in Lineage 2 were having a war and decided to bring the problem to real life.
It's already bad not havin social life because of the games (Kim, if you're reading this, don't worry, RO won't stop me from going to the cinema to see films with my friends), but killing someone just because he was in another clan... That's sick.
My faith in humanity is dropping by seconds.

Ayer me sacaron la otra muela del juicio, y ahora estoy bastante echa polvo. Me molesta, me duele, y tengo un flemón enorme. Para quitarme el dolor, tomo Nolotil, que me da más sueño que un discurso de Castro. Hoy no he ido al trabajo porque estaba la cosa como para intentar llevar pedidos.
En definitivas cuentas: ¡menos mal que esto se ha acabado ya!
---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- -----------------------------
Yesterday they removed the other molar, and now I'm quite ill. It bothers me, it hurts, and my face is really swollen. To take the pain awain, I have Nolotil, that makes me sleepier than one of Castro's speeches. I didn't go to work today because there's no way I can manage to do the paperwork.
All in all: it's good this is over already!

Esta mañana he hecho algo realmente estúpido.
Mi madre me había mandado a comprar la leche y el pan. Para comprar la leche tenía que irme a una panadería que hay en una calle que es paralela a la nuestra. Cuando he llegado, he visto a dos chavales, moros por el acento, que estaban molestando a una chica china que estaba sacando dinero del cajero. Y sin pensarmelo dos veces, les he empezado a dar voces, que qué cojones estaban haciendo, que la estaban molestando, etc. Al final, los niños mierda (porque eran niños de mierda, también si lo pienso me lio a hoxtias con ellos y los tumbo de un puñetazo, pero con esta gente nunca se sabe lo que te pueden sacar) se han largado y la chica y yo nos hemos ido en dirección contraria. Yo creo que si no han sacado nada es porque les estaba dando tales voces que estaba llamando la atención de la gente al otro lado de la calle. Pero si lo pienso, la verdad es que he hecho algo muy, muy arriesgado. No es que me arrepienta, porque no me gusta ese tipo de gente (la verdad es que pensaba que la iban a robar a la pobre), pero, pensado en frío... ¡que miedo!

This morning I've done something really stupid.
My mother had sent me to buy milk and bread. To buy the milk, I had to go to a shop that is in a street running parallel to ours. When I got there, I've seen two kids, from Morocco if I didn't get the accent wrong, that where disturbing a chinese girl that was taking money from the bank. And without a second thought, I started to shout at them, asking them what the hell were they doing, that they were disturbing her, etc. At the end, the stupid kids (because they were nothing more than kids, if I think about it I could have started fighting the and knock them down with a punch, but with this type of people you don't know what they can take out at you) went away, and the girl and I went the other way. I think that they didn't use any weapon because I was being so loud that I was driving the people's attention towards us, even from across the street. But if I think it now, the truth is I've done something very, very risky. It is not that I regret it, because I don't like that people (the truth is that I was thinking that they were going to rob the poor girl), but, thinking about it now... How scary it was!
