Rambling of an Old Woman

Hello everyone!!
Hey minna!!
Konnichiwa, Ohayou, Konbanwa!!
Sabahul khair!! Masa'ul khair!!
Good morning, good evening and good afternoon!! (that just sound like a line from Lo's Evening News).

Sound a bit demented after a short hiatus. Though, more than a week in the tech world is actually long. A lot could happen in just a milisecond. Work has been hectic as always, especially few days back when some of the workers created a havoc. Normal labour relation trouble that I bet a lot would have to go through handling much too young workers.

My reprieve?

My PC with internet connection of course (sounds pathetic, thee hee).

Even so, I happened to skip checking my mails for 3 days. Just 3 days and there it goes, 60 unread messages exluding hundreds of spams in the bulk folder. Missed 4 days of learning kanji through e-mail, stuck at letter 'su' for both hiragana and katakana.

Cause?

Too caught up watching 'Kimi Wa Petto' on Youtube. The loading takes about 30 minutes max for a portion so sometimes I managed to get 2 full episodes in a night. The title sounded totally kinky to me at first sight. Some box set translated it as 'Pet Lover', some 'You're my Pet'. About a highly successful journalist who kept having trouble expressing herself, dubbed as the kakashi or noh doll behind her back by her collegue. The weird part came when she found a box filled with a young man covered with blood. Rain fell, she took the box in and cared for the young man. He woke up, felt indebted and wanting to stay with her. She agreed - only if he becomes her pet. Yeah yeah sound kinky but its not in the kinky way but still kinky in some way, nothing to do with sex. Being pet as pet. Like rearing a cat - feed them, take care of them, wash them and all that. Weird. But funny. Jun was in it, thee heee.

Then, watching the movie Azumi that took forever for the download to finish. It was an old movie. Old as in 2003 release. About an orphan girl, Azumi (obviously) who was reared along with other 9 boys as an assassin group. The mission was to hunt and kill leaders who becomes a threat to the Tokugawa reign. Watching the movie just remind me a lot of Kill Bill. Blood and gore, though Kill Bill was a whole lot unrealistic with blood that basically sprayed out like it was coming out from a hose. The starting of the story was like a cliche. Girl was found beside mom's dead body. An old man walked by with some boys spotted the girl and took her in. Few years passed by and then the characters fell down like dead flies, beginning with the final ritual of being an assassin - killing your own best friend. Demented. Lowdown - Joe Odagiri, the hero in Shinobi became the most psycho killer, hunting down Azumi's group. The psycho killer part I could stand but his character looked like a total pansy with too much powder on. *Sighs.

Scary.

Not because of Azumi.

Just that I've realized that I somewhat have reverted back to my old secondary school self only that now I have a job.
