ephemient

“…basically the opposite of moe”.
“…envy, as in ‘Wow, I wish I was as cool as him’”.
“…characters and individuals who are so overwhelmingly manly that your own masculinity is absolutely *buried*, leaving you naught but a whimpering, swooning girl-child before them”.

Anyhow, since apparently two of my readers have apparently been dissuaded from watching 300 by my previous “review”, I just thought I’d clarify.
A little anti-moé every once in a while for the sake of contrast won’t kill you, guys.  ;-)

(Speaking of which, apparently Guts won SaiGAR 2007.  Bleh… I can’t stand Berserk…)

*ahem*  By the way, the art style of manhwa is still taking some getting used to.  I opened up 1001③ today, and had a moment of cognitive dissonance before realizing, “oh! that’s supposed to be a pretty lady…”  See, with manga, that would have been a lot quicker.  xD

(I failed at counting the first time I tried to compare them.  Computers are really much better at this than I am.)

Both dwm and xmonad are minimalistic X11 window managers, roughly equivalent in goals.  Not that comparing anything to C is ever fair, but note that dwm, written in C, is nearly triple the line count of xmonad, written in Haskell.  xmonad even supports Xinerama, which dwm doesn’t do.

Surprisingly, dwm only contains about 20 lines dedicated to memory management and not much more dealing with linked list management, while xmonad contains 180 lines for a rotating stack data structure.  i.e., dwm is unusually small and xmonad is unusually large, for C and Haskell projects.

さくらんぼう エンドレス — Those of you on my Xanga page will already have been bombarded by this clip.  :-P


Ootsuka Ai - Sakuranbo — Thanks to J for finding the full version of the song.  Less headache-inducing, more sugary.  :-D


狂気の陰陽師は大変な物を ver2(Luna) — It’s like somebody thought, “hey, all of these songs have the same structure, and I can fix them so that they have the same tempo and key too… let’s put them together!”  xD


Anything Yuki can do — Chang showed this to me – I was seriously laughing out loud.
