It’s not fair
2003-05-19 07:00:22
Acen and Anime North… Sometimes it totally sucks to live on the other side of the globe. :( Sounds like everybody had a fun time. *sigh* I’m just waiting for the summer and Animecon II back here in Finland. It’s the SECOND anime convention in Finland’s history and it’s a part of a bigger con. There is even a “video showing” there what ever that means. I hope that you people realise how fortunate you are with your big anime conventions.
Simpi from our studio is in Japan right now. *double jealous* I want to go too. :(
I did have a nice weekend even if I wasn’t at some anime con or in Japan. I was actually so busy that I didn’t have time to write here. On Saturday I was with my family at one of my dad’s friend’s 50th birth-day party. It was kind of special because we made an hour and a half (one way) train trip to Porvoo with this museum train that ran with gasoline and not electricity. The railroad was also a museum rail-road meaning that it’s not in daily use. It’s one of those once in a lifetime kind of experiences so it was enjoyable.
On Sunday we had my little brother’s 18th birthday party. I got to show videos to our guests. ^_^ Whit all of this partying I was really exhausted on Monday morning when I woke up. I had to decline two offers from my friends over the weekend. First one was to this music festival, which would have been great, and the other one was to one of my friend’s party.
Onward to studio news… Rain is making us a logo. He’s a graphic designer so it’s turning out to be really good. It has eight wolves in it in 3D and a moon, a mountain and some trees. I swear to you that the wolves weren’t my idea. He even promiced me that he would do one wolf which is grinning whit it’s tongue stuc out on the side. That would be me. XP
I finally have Arctic Tribe forum’s link for you:
http://venomila.homelinux.net/forum/index.php
The conversation is in English. We have one forum where the conversation is in Finnish but you can’t see it unless your part of the Arctic Tribe. Venomi made me the second site admin of the forum. He just said that I’ve been so actively involved. It’s so freaky to see the text “site admin” on top of your avatar. O_o I’ll get used to it (hopefully). I haven’t had time to check what I can do as an adminstrator.
I have a feeling that I’m doing things the wrong way again. I’m already an active part of a studio but I have no videos.
I got tickets to the Matrix-Reloaded on Wendsday. It’s a private premiere. I was so sure that I couldn’t get tickets to the premiere, but I got a tip from a friend and now I have tickets. =D -
The windows cried all day
2003-05-16 16:21:27
I'm not talking about OS this time all though it has made me almost cry few times. It rained all day. I was at my grandpa's funeral. It was a small ceremony with only the close family. It's amazing how little there is left of the human body after it's cremated. It proves just how insignificant we truly are.
It's strange how most people are scared of dead bodies, coffins, urns, cemeteries and funerals. I'm not. I've had my share of them all. Cemeteries are actually very calming places. And contrary to common belief their use is not for the dead people but for the people who are left behind to mourn for their loss of a dear one. It's a place where you can go and remember the dead person and "talk" to them.
My eyes feel swollen. (And BTW apparently I look like a vampire because two people have commented that I look pale and besides that my eyes are quite red.) I don't know if my eyes are red from over reacting to the birch pollen or from crying. Could be both. I actually cry very rarely and never so that other people see. The last time that I cried must be about half a year ago or something like that. It's not that I haven't felt like crying. I have felt like it many times but nothing just comes out. Life has made me hard and tough to break. It has it's good sides and bad sides.
On the AMV front it has been fairly quiet. I haven't downloaded anything for a while. I'll get back to it in a while. I think that I'll have to put my own AMV to hold for a while too because I want to make a video for my grandma. I'll capture footage of my grandpa and dad from our home video collection, edite it in my comp and put it on a VHS and give it to grandma. I just got this idea today and I'm not sure if I can pull it off but right now it's more important to me than my own AMV. I'll still be involved with Arctic Tribe 100%.
Oh and before I forget I got a hair cut yesterday. Now my hair is 2-3 centimeters shorter. I wish that I had longer hair. It's over my shoulders but I would like to have hair that reaches my waist. I'm so vain. ^_^;

Arctic Tribe’s forum founded
2003-05-15 00:38:49
Our Studio has it’s own forum. Very wittily named as Arctic Tribe. ^_^ We (actually just Venomi) founded it yesterday. It’s still searching it’s own shape but I can call it home already. I’d give you the link but it’s on my home computer.
The reason that our studio had a “meeting” in IRC this time was to discuss the future home page. One of Venomi’s friends is going to do it for us. She’s a graphic designer.
I watched two episodes from my DVD yesterday. The series is as good as I remembered it to be. Also the video quality is so much better than in the fan subs that I had. The only annoying thing is that they’ve translated (English subtitles) some things quite oddly. For example the translation of a “hydra” is “hidora” and they didn’t translate “beholder” at all. They just put the Japanese word of a beholder there. Amazingly enough I find the fan sub’s translation to be better than this official one.
I went to see a doctor yesterday about my allergies. There really isn’t much that they can do about it. I got some new medication and it’s helping a pit. I just have to deal with it for a month or so. But it’s really affecting me. I feel like I’m out of breath all the time. It rained yesterday and also this morning. I can breathe freely after a rain. =D I’m also very tired physically all the time. Bleh… it’s only one month a year, right?
Today is the last concert of this season. It’s summer vacation with my music hobbies after that one. Tomorrow I’m going with my family to our grandpa’s funeral. I’m taking the day off from work. -
MY DVD arrived!
2003-05-13 13:30:33
Woohoo! It's here! All the way from Belgium (in regular mail). If I remember correctly I ordered and bought it on the 20th of April. Three weeks... three long weeks. But it's finally here. =D Now I don't have an excuse for not doing my first vid. Darn...
Hakura gave me the most positive feedback that I've had so far concerning me as a creator. I said that "I'm not a creator yet".To which she said that "Don't worry. You will be." =D I hope that I can live up to that.
It rained today! It's so much easier to breathe after rain. If it would rain every day for the next month, I would be happy.

Allergies suck!
2003-05-13 02:25:36
I just spend like ten seconds staring at Priuscomet’s journal’s title: {‘¤_¤’} . That emoticon was hypnotising. XO
My allergy is really getting to me. I feel just awful. It’s even hard to breath. Running or climbing the stairs is totally out of the question. Imagine that you have a bad flu and your eyes and nose itch so bad that it’s driving you crazy. I have to get some stronger medication because this is no good.
I have my last viola lesson today. Have I practiced? Nope. I’m screwed…
I spend so much time in our studio’s IRC #channel (no that’s not it’s name) that I don’t have time to write here. Nice and short journal entries for the people who like those short of things.
