HAVE WE BEEN LUCKY BASTARDS?
Update on lyfe, the universe and everything:
% My brain is officially dead-on-vacation and ignoring the exams-that-are-fast-upon-me.
% Rewatching Ghost in the Shell was the best idea I had all year. Solid State Society left me screaming with happy tears of confused but determined joy. Oh, Togusa. ♥ You're so shiny when you're trying to take control of your own life and everyone elses', and all at the same time, too!
On the same note, listening to the English dubs makes me want to cry. Y-y-y-you turned Saito, the worlds most squishy, prickly, poker-winning silent sniper voiced by Toru Okawa (Roy Mustang, Rufus Shinra) into some squeaky adolescent boy! Batou's voice has been put through a cheese shredder! Aramaki sounds like a disgruntled ape*!
*more than he's usually allowed to, too!
Some pretty pretty Solid State pictures because nghghgh (rollover, mice, rollover!):
% Final Fantasy Tactics make me scream too, but in less life-affirming ways. God damned chocobos mutter mutter mutter.
% Anyone know a good place for iconsesses? I do need some new ones, oh yes I do.
% The internet is made for distractions. All this time, I've thought that the alt tag used in coding for images was used as a "tooltip" mouse-rollover-description-thingy and as the alternate text shown if you disabled images in your browser. NOT SO. Apparently, IE - in all its infinite wisdom - confused the two. "Alt" tags should be used only as a text shown when images are disabled - tooltips should be written under a title tag. NEVER KNEW THAT.
Firefox, however HTML compliant, unfortunately truncates tooltips, so my insane rants up on the images above can't be seen. D: Workarounds: install this plugin or just right click and view. :D People who read XKCD should know. *g*
