He's dead

"Osama's Death Will Ensure A More Peaceful And Safe World "
- Comment from a certain local politician

Seriously?


So by now probably half of the people across the globe is celebrating for the death of Osama, with a small number doing the opposite, lamenting the loss of 'freedom fighter', 'defender of faith', 'global Islamic fighter', or whatever (yes, we get some of the latter here too).

As for me? I couldn't care less. I never approved of his modus operandi - and his own view that he's godsend - so naturally I wasn't moved when the news came in. Rather, what gets me instead is how most people are quick to jump into the bandwagon and say, "finally, that terrorizing bastard is dead!", thinking that removing this guy out of the picture would solve the problem that's going on right now. Well, do you think that REALLY make the world more peaceful and safe? You don't think another Osama will rise up somewhere (or rather, we will 'create' another one), and another bloody cycle begins anew?

And you keep voicing out against terrorism - but what about the other more serious shit that's going on?At this rate, I think hunger, overpopulation, and pollution will get to us before terrorism does - but this is not the place for me to discuss that. At least, not yet.

Well, I'm honestly quite ignorant when it comes to geopolitics, so I think Needless post makes a better job at discussing this issue (the picture at the end is ace too).


Yes, I promised earlier that I won't be here until the next 2 week, but I just gotta get this thing off my chest. It has really bothered me, honestly. Hope you excuse this ranting...


'tis but a distant dream...


As for me, I'm done with another paper today - the last 2 papers won't be until next week. So off to the studying table I go...


How's everyone else doing?

I could not take it easy

I don't know if it is indeed a conspiracy, but as with a few fellow bloggers, I've also contracted some sort of stomach illness. You know, the usual - stomach being mixed ala blender, having to go to the toilet practically every 2 hour (it disturbed my sleeping pattern, even), and generally not being able to take it easy. I spend the first day of the sickness lying in bed all day, that I had to ask one of my friend to buy dinner from outside.

Something like this

Musing and ranting on the Touhou series: the fanbase, the future, and some case studies of similar series

Title says it all.

After the last post which seems pretty much to concur with those who don't really like the series('s fanbase), let's now take a closer look at the issue:


(Incoming wall of text below: this will be partly ranting, partly serious discussion, and contain items which only the Touhou fans could understand/would care to read)

Not exactly trolling, but...

A joke is a very serious thing?


I'm just giving a bit of flavour for my next post (which will come in a few more days - I've became busy of all a sudden). Worry not, for it's not going to be as silly as this one (I think...).

In the meanwhile, enjoy some fanworks off the new Touhou series:





The rapidity... it's amazing

Also, what's up with Blogger resizing my image? Made me to link that one big pic up in photobucket, it did...

Well this is a surprise...

Apparently the demo for Touhou 13, Ten Desires, can be obtained at this website.

I would've played it straightaway, if it's not for my shitty internet that doesn't allow me to download it at all hurrrr. Anyone have tried their hands on this yet?

EDIT: The demo could be downloaded through a mirror via mediafire.

In the meantime, have some screenshot as posted by a certain Touhou fan that I know from FB. Credit goes to him for these:



Some new faces


And old familar one (surprised??)

And yes, I'm very much taking it easy now~

Deadline and test is tomorrow, and I'm surfing the 'net~


It's the final week of the semester (before study and exam weeks), so I've been burdened with a lot of tests and assignments, which would hopefully be finished once the weekend arrives.

Apologies for not frequenting blogs much (which would include this one haha). I have this one large quasi-discussion/semi-rant/wholly nonsense post that I have been keeping in the backlog for a while, and I might just put it up once my hands aren't tied (I actually have one small test and an assignment due for tomorrow, so back to the chopping board I go...)
