I have come (REGRESSED, [kiros voice] that's what they'd say) to a state where I feel like 24 hours is not enough. This time is even more problematic than usual since my load at work is not that much, which means I must not been feeling well mentally. I cannot figure out what I truly want to get me out of this situation. Sometimes I feel like I need to "drag myself out of my mess" every morning so I have the strength to carry through the day. If not, I will not be productive for the whole day... at all.
(Trust me, when I say "procrastinator extraordinaire" in my intro post, I mean it.)
I kept forgetting to post this here.
So several days ago (February 22), Ludovico Bessegato posted this on his IG stories.
I wonder... is it for real?
If it is so, I wonder what the story and the main cast will be. The "OG" actors are getting older, unless they are going for "2nd gen" cast. Once it is confirmed, only I will start the guessing game on who the main focus of the season will be.
Khaled - Aïcha
Spotify Web
It is easy for me to remember this song because it has Arabic lyrics in it. Despite so, I cannot remember how I discovered this song lol. One thing I know, is that I watched a low quality music video of the song on YouTube... many years ago. I seriously cannot remember anything more than that!
The song was written by a French singer-songwriter, hence the French lyrics also present. Khaled is Algerian, so the Arabic is Algerian, I think.
And that concludes the [how the heck] special segment for now! As I have written before sometime before the end of 2022, I will prepare a next special segment for [how did you]... Stay tuned.
Not trying to find excuses for me not updating this journal for awhile, but this is what has been going on:
I am no stranger to Linux. I have this low-end laptop with dual boot setup: A Windows 10 (Home SL) and Ubuntu MATE 20.04 that I installed sometime in 2020 (see linked post for details).
I love the current setup and I love my Ubuntu MATE. It has served me well for light browsing and writing, but lately I have been looking at screenshots of GNOME 43. At first I did not really like GNOME's new design language back then in mid 2010s, but I feel like it has since matured. I want to try what it feels like! Unfortunately, Ubuntu MATE is, as shown in the name, a flavor of Ubuntu with MATE desktop environment, with a lot of MATE-forked applications that may mess things up if I try installing another desktop environment (DE) on top of it, so I decided I want to make a jump to a new distro while I am at it.
So I tried Fedora.
In case you did not notice, I created a new tag for this post. Yes, I am thinking of making a segment where I talk about my first Fedora experience as a long time Ubuntu user. I am not a "hardcore" Ubuntu user, so you will see things from the eye of a casual-ish user. I will talk about what is different from Ubuntu, my thoughts of Fedora in certain parts, and other related stuff. Perhaps this segment can also entice you to try Linux, if you are not familiar with it yet? There will be no fixed schedule for this segment, but I will make sure to post regularly.
Luke Vibert - Slipped Disc
Spotify Web
About one month ago I wrote my recent obsession with browsing WhoSampled. Has it stopped? Nope.
This is one of the songs I discovered from that website. Specifically, I found this while looking at THPS2 Main Menu music. There, the beats were sampled from a song which was, in turn, sampled by this song.
Lol hi there.
I thought I would be able to go back by the start of this week but well, as you can see, I could not. Oh well.
I should be back by tomorrow, starting with the next [how did you] post.
A bit of a sudden announcement.
I have something to take care of and I may not be writing here for a bit. This may take a couple of days. Once you see me posting back here that means I am back.
Also, I am well aware I missed a certain scheduled post. It will resume next week.
Thanks! I hope you are all feeling well.
Daisy the Great - I'm Fine
Spotify Web | YouTube Music Video
Hello!
Yes I know this is late I am sorry I forgot my schedule lol. Anyways, this should be quick because this song is one of the many songs I discovered while on an H&M store lol. I cannot remember much, but I think I discovered this sometime mid 2019, the last known good year before COVID-19.
An easy listening song. Right from the start, you are greeted with sweet harmony vocals that will accompany you for almost the whole song, with the "Hello!" part being the most catchy of them all. They play very well with the overall vibe the song is giving. You should give it a listen.
I do not talk about this often here, but I did watch Teen Wolf the series (the linked post said I would only watch until season 2, but I ended up watching all of it because I LOVED (and still do) the casts lol) and is still a fan of it, so I do not miss the fact that the Teen Wolf movie has been recently released. Fortunately, this week things have been really busy at work, which keeps me from browsing around. I do not want to get spoiled!
Honest to God, I am kind of nervous. Teen Wolf rarely keeps its world in status quo for too long, and has no problem throwing all sorts of difficult obstacles at the main characters' faces. For me, seasons 3B, 5A, and 6B were difficult to watch exactly because of this. It does create suspenseful story and makes the MCs' struggles worth it in the end, but still. The movie trailer does not help either. I better rip the bandaid quick by watching it ASAP.
There is also an announcement of a brand new TV series called Wolf Pack. It is an entire new story with a whole set of new casts. I do not expect it to be Teen Wolf 2.0, and seeing the trailer and the cast comments confirms it further. It seems the show will take on a darker and more serious tone (TV shows love going with this kind of tone, huh?). I am more curious about the story though. I hope I will enjoy it and it will stay around for awhile.
SALES - Chinese New Year
Spotify Web
Tomorrow is Chinese New Year, and the moment is just right for me to write about this song!
( No I can't.... )
I just found out that a sequel to Gash Bell* has been going since 2022.
Why... did I not hear about this? I knew I have been out of touch with animanga world but...
Gash Bell reminds me of high school times. I had a friend who owned a lot of Gash Bell manga so I borrowed them from him and read them all. I... think. For some reason I cannot remember the ending, but I can just read summaries online to rehash my memory.
What would the sequel be like? Let us see......
* Yes, I know Gash Bell is more known as... Zatch Bell in the US. No, I am not going to use the US localized names. Just... no. Sorry US citizens!
** YES I know it probably was not right either to refer to the manga itself as Gash Bell. It should be 金色のガッシュ!!. But, eh. Anything but Zatch Bell kldsfkldsfls
