the boring eGGie has returned... isn't that nice?

lah.

you know, it's not that i've intentionally been ignoring my poor little blog... it's more that i don't have anything interesting to write about.

sad really.

in case any one cares, i've been working on my ge0cities page... quite an improvement if i do say so myself; though do keep in mind that it's still a work in progress.

hmmmmm...

well, if you use firefox and have more than a passing interest in learning asian languages, here's a couple extensions that you might like:

• chinesepera-kun: chinese popup dictionary — is a fun and very useful addon. it's also a lot more interactive than some of the other language extensions i've found. note: the dictionary is installed locally on your computer, so you can use it even when offline.


• moji — is primarily a kanji dictionary, though there are a few other japanese-related dictionaries that can be added. like chinesepera-kun, moji is installed locally on your computer. unlike chinesepera-kun, you need to download the dictionaries separately; they're located on the same page.

and since firefox is so customizable, and i just love to play with things... i added the buttons for both extensions to the main firefox window.

the moji button


the main moji window/interface

chinesepera-kun doesn't have a window like moji, but having the on/off buttons easily accessible is nice.

can you feel the excitement?

yeah, me neither.

sigh.

hey!

want to do something exceptionally stupid?

go here and download a really old web browser... and actually install it.

then, after you've used it for all of 10 seconds, see if you can resist the urge to delete it.

'kay?

for some silly reason i downloaded lynx and tried to use it. if lynx were the only web browser available to me, i would probably have put forth a little more effort, but... i'm quite thankful that lynx is simply an alternative.

i'm sure that will offend some people that just love lynx... and all i can say is, i sincerely hope that one day you'll have a computer fast enough to use a better and more graphical web browser.

good luck to ya!

ever had a question about a particular food or ingredient?

if so, you might like this site... and, yes, they're very international. (that's how i found them to begin with.)

food is just one of the many topics covered on their site, so be sure to check out the main page.

do you just love anime and manga, and want to try drawing your own, but live in the middle of hell no where, surrounded by a bunch of redneck, ignorant, racist fools?

then you might want to check out some of the online alternatives when you need some art supplies: wet paint is a great all-in-one store, and deleter specializes in products for the aspiring manga artist.

isn't that nice?

yes. yes, it is.

:)

lah.

bored yet?

then this likely won't make any difference...

i've recently discovered the joy that is "russian rap music".

yeah.

and since my fluency in russian is non-existent, and i have no desire to change that, i'm quite glad that i'm unable to decipher whatever it is that they're cursing about. cursing and rap go hand-in-hand, you know. sad, really.

sigh.

now if you want to listen to good rap, and, yes, there is such a thing, then you should listen to japanese girl rap. there's nothing more amusing than listening to a japanese girl, that sounds like she might be twelve years old, cursing like there's no tomorrow... in engrish.

sometimes it's really quite therapeutic. of course, sometimes it really makes me want to kill people... but there's also the case that killing people can be therapeutic as well.

sigh.

i'm not sure that would stand up in court, but i'm sure the world would be a better place if more people listened to japanese girl rap while partaking in a nation-wide killing spree. i'm sure psychoanalysts would enjoy that, at the very least.

in case you were unaware, "the kill everyone project" was finished earlier this year... unfortunately, it was a virtual project, and had very little, if any, effect on our sad, little world.

sniff.

better ruck next thyme!

hope i didn't scare you too much little blog!
