Time for a new blog post, huh?
Actually, I myself don't know how to write this time, because everything happened recently was so dispersed and hard to be organized into the same post. -_-'
Anyway, I'll just write randomly (which means, not in order of time) and see how this post looks. xD
Gmail's new look
Google has released a new post about their new gmail look. Before I saw that post, I've noticed the difference in g-calendar and my iGoogle homepage. The transparent top bar became black. At first, I was like "What? Did I do something wrong in the settings so it gets a weird color?" But later, I was finally sure about that's a general change for all google users. Gosh, now google looks like My Opera homepage! xDD
Yet I do like the new "preview" theme of gmail/other google services (switch to it under gmail's themes tab~), though I think it currently doesn't have a good integration with some gmail lab products, e.g. putting g-talk widget in the right makes that widget very weird. So hope they can figure out such bugs as soon as possible, I really love this neat theme!
Opera's new look
OMG, this should be written before gmail's! I've upgraded Opera Browser to the newest version, which is v.11.50. Nothing too much about other new features or fixed bugs, I just want to say the new Opera look is SO PRETTY! I like they changed the "unread new tab notification" from a blue dot to a folded edge of the tab. It's so cute. Also, the entire interface is much neater than previous version, which includes the top-left "Opera" main button~
However, I have to use Chrome instead sometimes when some conflicts come out between google stuff and Opera... ^^;
A new way to use my gmail
I spent some time to send myself all my past blog posts into my own gmail inbox. Why? Comparing with using MS Word to save my posts, using gmail is a better way to access them anytime, anywhere as if I have Internet access. And without Internet access, I can't post to my blog. Should be a more organized way to find out a specific post too, I believe.
So will my inbox become a writing pad? lol
Anime Times!
Long time no watching animes, and I watched 3 in all in last week!
"Angel Beats!", "Puella Magi Madoka Magica", and "Bungaku Shoujo OVAs". To summarize these three animes briefly, maybe I should use "excellent", "crazy" and "kinda boring"... orz
"AB" is really excellent, no matter from the plot, character design, settings, cast voices, and music. It makes me want to know what happens in next episode. Like other Key-related animes, there are pretty many of amusing scenes, and suddenly it turns into a more formal ending (The original ending was so touching, yet I don't like the "another epilogue", it looks sort of... well, depressing, maybe). So it's just my warning, to get a satisfied ending for it, DON'T watch "another epilogue".
"Puella Magi", the beginning was no much difference between this anime and other magical girl related animes. But there are still some unique elements. I mean the witches' barriers (and I really love those scenes). After, maybe ep3? The anime got overturned. Later, when I read the staff list, the director's, the story writer's names, I suddenly realized why this anime is so special! Anyway, not want to spoil to people who haven't watched it, so I'll just stop here. xD
"Bungaku Shoujo". To be honest, I watched it only because of the heroine's cast voice from "AB". Even not because of the music since I can enjoy any good music without knowing any about the anime/movie/etc itself. The OVA's are short, so that's why I watched them first. And I just felt bored with the story. Or maybe the previous two animes were too exciting comparing to this one. However, I'll still watch the movie soon, since there is more Hanazawa Kana's voice in it! lol
Angry Birds
Another "old" topic, huh? I ever saw a friend playing this game on her iPhone, and noticed a chrome ad about the game's chrome version.
The result was, I got addicted to this game.
But I think I need another individual post to talk about my tie to this game, so I'll just leave this topic in the beginning here. Maybe tomorrow, or maybe later, I'll post about it again~!
Dragon Nest~~
DN again? Yes, I'm still a big DN fan~
Since last September, a lot of things have happened in game, and now, I've made my main character (though she was the last character I created) to lv50 in last night!
Same reason as above, I need an individual post to talk about my game life... so that's all. xD
A monthly blogging event, can I do it?
I was planning to do this since a while ago, but haven't decided. That is, to post my monthly top 5 songs. Or maybe weekly, since last.fm keep track my online music weekly (it's so stupid last.fm doesn't have a feature to collect your monthly tracks, which should be a more useful span -_-).
I remember there is one blog I follow, and the author ever made herself a weekly plan, to post a song each week. As a result, she quit (or this or that kind of forgetting of posting). Probably my plan will be the same as hers, so I'll keep quiet at this point right now. :3
The last thing before I end. Summer has come for real. Bad luck! :P
P.S. Suddenly realised today is Tanabata... so the title will be............
