La la la la. A friend and I are discussing how the S and SuperS Sailor Moon dubs by Optimum/Cloverway suck hardcore. There's this site called like... umm... well, I forget the name, but it's this site where all these neurotic people talk about how bad the Sailor Moon dub(s) is/are and mention *every* inconsistency that takes place as well as bemoaning the fact that a certain couple became cousins and a certain Amazon became female. And I'm like, dude, yeah, the S and SuperS dubs really suck, but throw them a bone here, eh? Personally, the S and SuperS dubs suck on their own, even without cousins and gender bending. Hypothetically, if a team of dubbers or translators or whatever were gonna get together and dub S and SuperS, it would be *perfectly fine* with self for them to relate and gender-swap certain people, as long as they actually watched the whole season before airing the first episodes and had IQs that had progressed from the single digits. My friend tells me mostly Optimum is at fault, not Cloverway, but I think both of them are very very stupid and ought to be shot. They can't get things to agree *between episodes*. However, once I realised that, I stopped foaming at the mouth to every inconsistency because I was aware of the fact that Cloverway and Optimum were permeating morons and it was probably an accomplishment for them to remember what the main character was named.

Let's Ranting about DiC vs. Cloverway

When I first saw the DiC dub, I was like "dude, this dub sucks." And when I saw the first episode of S, I was like "dude, Cloverway r0x0rz and DiC can go eat haggis." But then I watched more of the season, and I was like "dude, Cloverway sucks even more than DiC." And then I was like "hooray for DiC." Wanna know why? I'll tell you why! Cos Cloverway, or Optimum, are STUUUPID

My friend says DiC used Optimum too, but it's all this one lady, Janice Sonski, who screwed everything up and she didn't work for Optimum when DiC was doing the first season and R. So, Janice Sonski can go eat haggis, and I hope her toenails fall off and her nose rots off her face.

The site was also talking about how people who watched the VKLL fansub of SMS were confused because they accidentally subbed it as "Kaolinite" instead of "Kaori" or "Kaoli". I didn't even notice it because I could actually hear the Japanese people speaking and noticed that they said "Kaorisan" and not "Kaorinaito". Some people are deaf. I feel sorry for them. And sometimes I forget that everyone can't read kana O_o Like I think that same site was talking about the DVDs with subtitles, and the episode where Mako-chan is in a pinch was subtitled differently although "you could clearly hear Usagi say 'pinch'," and I thought "and you can READ that is says PINCHI, smart!" but then I was like "....wait. Most Americans don't read kana." And then I just like, sat there.

If you're reading this, and you read the first one, then I just tell you that I wrote *both* of them before there was even a blog site for me! Isn't that groovy?! I was having some layout trouble because frames are the devil. Then I put IFRAME-- or rather I'm GOING to because I haven't yet-- and all my problems went / will go away. But Netscape users couldn't see it. So, if you use Netscape, go eat haggis. Or get Explorer.

I still haven't beat Deus. But I did go to the Lighthouse and Emeralda is SOOO COOL as a grownup, and Big Joe r0x0rz. XD That is such a funny word. O_o r0x0rZ XD KYAHAHAHAHAHA

Yesterday I went to the closing sale of the WB Company store at the mall... I bought a pink Cardcaptors shirt with a cute piccle of Sakura-chan, a green Batman shirt with orange thread that's really groovy, and a Harley Quinn beany thingum. Haaa. We also got Pokemon the Movie 2000 cos we didn't have it, and there was this ugly little coin stuck in the cover, and I ripped the plastic to get it out, but it turns out the plastic was actually the cover, so I ruined the cover. Bah.

::listens to "Forces" from Berserk:: Sweet-o.

I went to Mr. Gatti's tonight and enjoyed myself immensely. This guy said "Hi, Catherine" (to Catherine, not me) and I thought he said "Hi, Catheter." So I said to Catherine, I said, "did he just call you catheter?" and she said "I dunno." So I said to the guy, "did you just call her catheter?" and he said "no, I called her Catherine." So I said to Catherine, "Can I call you catheter?" and she said "No." Then Patrick said "Violence is not the problem, it's the solution."

Patrick is amoosing.

I wonder if anyone is actually reading this... that's kind of creepy... ohhh!! I had a dream last night that I met Brad Swaile! XD I shall tell you about it.

Okay, I was in Creative Writing class, and it met in this shed or something. And we were all supposed to be nude, but since it had gotten toward the end of the year a lot of people weren't following the rule anymore and were wearing clothes. O_O (by the way, in real life I am *very fond* of wearing clothing at all times except in the shower.) But I still wasn't. O_o And I was really embarrassed about it. =D()() Heh-heh. And I sat next to this guy who in real life is a guy I really hate, but in the dream I didn't hate him. And all of us together wrote some really funny thingie, but I totally forgot what it was, except that during it the dream melted into that episode of Pinky & the Brain where Brain is doing voice-overs and says "IN July, peas grow there"... you know the one. Then we performed the thing we had written for an audience (but I was wearing clothes this time) and the audience loved it excessively. Part of it required me to use a big helium balloon to float around and I enjoyed that. It switched to Super Mario World style, and I was floating through a level of SMW with the helium balloon. Then I landed and gave the balloon to some guy who was supposed to float with it. But he was too heavy to float. And I was surprised because for some reason I thought I would weigh more than the guy did. O_o There was also a special guest brought in to help us perform the thing we wrote, and it was Brad Swaile *_* And he'd dyed his hair blonde. ^^() And I really wanted to go talk to him, and was thinking about all the times I'd told Yoshi how I'd glomp if I had the chance, but I was too shy. And AnJa was there and I was like "I wanna get his autograph but I'm scared!" so she started bothering him. O_o And she had these two cans of dog food and she held one of them to his neck and he said "AnJa, please stop that." But I was still too shy to go talk to him. Then the performance thing was over so I left, but I really wanted to talk to Brad Swaile, so I went back in and wandered the halls of a building that was school in the dream, but, you know, totally isn't. Somebody had left a dark-skinned baby with colourful clothes in a basket behind, and Brad Swaile picked it up and handed it to me and said "Do you know whose this is?" and I was like "No." Then I think I took a piece of paper from my drawing stack and was planning to give it to him to sign but I don't remember if I actually did or not. I also saw a chart that had data on both Brad Swaile and me. O_o It had some stuff I don't remember, but the one I do remember was "BIRTHDAY". And for him it said "1983". And for me it said "JAN 12." And my birthday is on the 28th, NOT the 12th. ;o And I don't know what year Brad Swaile was born, but if it was 1983, then he's like 17. And I think he's in college already. But I read somewhere that he was 8 when he voiced Ace in My Little Pony Tales, which aired in 1992, so that works with my dream O_o And a couple nights ago I also had a dream that there was an article in Reader's Digest about Brad Swaile and his mom, and it said he was 17 in that too. And he had a little sister who had been brutally murdered. O_o And one of his "likes" was Schick razors.

Maybe I'm a little over-obsessed.

I hope he never sees this site. He'll get scared. I don't want dear Brad to be scared of me. I want to capture his heart with my fantastic hair and this move I do where I take my glasses off and bite the earpiece. ...okay, it sounds dumb, but lemme put it this way: Whoever said "guys don't make passes at girls who wear glasses" never met ME. Actually, someone did make a pass at me a couple weeks ago. I had just made a pay phone call and was walking across the street to a Chinese restaurant, and I heard a whistling noise, and I turned around and there was this guy in a truck waving at me. I was too shocked to do anything and then I thought it was amusing. Then I thought maybe I should have adjusted my glasses with my third finger, but the guy had already driven off. So.

Tonight, after Mr. Gatti's and church (go on Saturday night, can sleep in Sunday, hurrah!) we went to La Palmita, this Mexican restaurant. I didn't eat cos I'd already eaten at Mr. Gatti's, but I was going to get a piece of homemade cheesecake. Only it was actually homeade cheeescake on the menu. But they were out of it anyway, so I was sad. Then I came home and ate a piece of cheesecake left over from my birthday party that I had four months and 20 days after my actual birthday. Isn't America grand??
