Hiking - Nottveit støl

Went hiking today (yesterday today), and it felt damned awesome. Someone cancelled the sunshine we ordered, a minor ‘**** you‘ to whoever did it, but it was a great trip. I finally managed to take pictures, and even though the camera’s shite and the lighting was horrendous, Picasa managed to save them somewhat. Here’s the link.

I even placed them on the map! *beams*
Now I need sleep.

One Piece (surreally real?)

Some time ago I sat down to figure out what the differences between Naruto and One Piece were, and I’d quickly write down some notes about both series before I wrote a comparison post. It didn’t happen. I had so many opinions about Naruto, and only the energy to focus on a few points, if only one. When I was about to write about One Piece I encountered a new problem - being a fan with no dislikes in a series makes it hard to write about. I tried to write a pitiful fact-version that failed. I tried to just write a post where I pointed out why I loved it. It didn’t fail, it just felt empty and pointless. As you might have guessed time went by with no post about One Piece coming until today, or yesterday rather, about chapter 502; a chapter that struck me squarely in the stomach.

So what makes a normally uninteresting, interest-changing idiot that can barely latch his interest onto something for over a month into a fan? I had trouble putting it into words, and for some things (make that most) I still do. Then the other day I discovered why One Piece manages to reinvigorate my interest over and over again.

Chillout music

Maybe I should boot up the Last.FM plugin again to keep track of what I am currently listening to, mostly for other people’s benefits, not that there are all that many who care. Or maybe it’s me who doesn’t care. I’m not sure.

Also, I can’t be arsed to boot up the plugin because I’ve got so many services running on this machine I’m starting to get worried about performance. Every now and then the fan on my machine borders on squealing! Though that might be because there’re ample amounts of dust in there…

Whichever. Right now I’m listening to the di.fm Chillout channel (direct link here), and I’ve rarely left it. I had a short stint by GoaPsy Trance, but honestly, most of it sounded the same. Go figure, my dad was partially right about this kind of music. The bastard.

That reminds me of a track I heard the other day. It was brilliant. Two DJ’s making an entire session live, and it sounded coherent, wonderful… damn, just go check it out - Live Performances (there’s a +/- there).

One Piece 502

It really hits me every now and then how One Piece manages to not only strike the right chord with me, usually it deftly manages to smash it with impunity. This time around it’s about slavery and oppression, abuse and discrimination. Topics that really whips my chords around until there’s a knot in my stomach. That’s when it’s nice to know that no matter how bad it gets, you can count on Luffy to write out the right prescription for you. Check it out, chapter 502 is out, and the arc so far has been pretty gut-wrenching.

Oh, and here’s where I got it

Runaways movie?

They seem to have Runaways in the works as a movie. While Runaways doesn’t have the long history of the other titles we see them roll out, it’s definitely one of the stronger titles. I’m hesitant and exited about this. Kids can be such a drag in movies, that sucks. Runaways rocks, so that’s a plus. Which will it be? *crosses fingers*

Also, Jake Gyllenhaal to be the Prince in the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time movie. How can I not be excited? Gah! I’m a sucker for cheese.

And I’m hoping to see Indy today, or tomorrow. Will hopefully heading to town regardless.
