Skype-Hype......

After looking high and low all over the internet about Skype and if it got spyware/malware or not, I still am not convince it doesn't have spyware/malware or something like that.

Before anyone shout "IGNORANT BASTARD!!" right at my face, I would like to say that there ARE articles and people out there in the Weird Wild Web that also doesn't trust Skype at all. And the ratio is almost 50-50 for believers and non-believers.

I have been called silly, ignorant, stupid, weird, insane, very stupid......and such because of my distrusts of Skype just because Skype was developed by the people behind Kazaa. I don't trust Kazaa. And naturally I sure won't trust something that is being developed by the people that is related to Kazaa.

Instinct tells me that Skype can't be trusted. Call it what you want. Call it Paranoid. Call it stupid. Call it ignorances. Call it very stupid even. When there is a time where you instinct tells you something, do you listen to your instinct or do you just ignore it?

24 days into 2006.......before that.....

And in the US TV series scene, some new series for 2005/2006 got cancelled or went into hiatus.

Heather Graham's debut series Emily's Reasons Why Not crashed and burned after episode 1 was aired.

Out of Practice runs out of practices and is now in a hiatus!

I don't know what other Desperate Housewives's fans are thinking, but for me, I think the housewives are getting too desperate!

Killer Instinct got murdered by FOX network 9 episodes into it's first season. Case still unsolve!

Nothing is insteresting in new series Book of Daniel and South Beach. Nothing to shout about for either.

Dr. Molly Anne Caffrey's Threshold plan failed and the alien race named "Cancelled" took over earth. THE END.

Ted finally met his (supposed)future wife in How I Meet Your Mother, but is this just another red herring?

All three CSI's are hitting the heavy blows and don't looked like stopping.

Lost is still Lost to me. Don't think it is that exciting or groundbreaking.

The wedding between Luke and Lolerai might not happened after all in the second half of Season 6 of Gilmore Girls. Apparently, Luke found out that he has a daughter that he doesn't know until now and can't seem to focus on anything other than trying to make up for lost time while Lolerai who managed to patch things up with Rory, has to endure a delayed wedding or no wedding. The Lolerai Wedding Jinx is still alive and well!!

Meredith Grey lost Dr. Shepherd in Grey's Anatomy not on the operating table but on the love table!

Defective Detective Adrian Monk continues to solve cases in Monk but no where near curing his own phobia's and the murder of his wife Trudy!

Over in UK, David Tennant took over the role of The Doctor in Doctor Who (2005) from Christopher Eccleston. The new Doctor invaded Christmas 2005 and is looking forward to Season 2 of Doctor Who (2005).

Cassie Hughes dies leaving Thelma alone to fight against Cassie's evil son Malachi in HƎX. Ella joins in the fight, but in the end, they couldn't stop Malachi. Is this really the end for the good guys?

Over in Hong Kong, TVB's new lineup for the year end 2005 and the first half of 2006 doesn't look promising with some series that isn't up to par. Series like 隨時候命, 胭脂水粉 although I managed to finish watching them, but both this series aren't up to par in storylines and acting. Although 阿旺新傳 was the best so far, while series like 識法代言人 and 妙手仁心Ⅲ I couldn't finish them for the moment. The storyline was uninteresting. I hope TVB's next few series would be up to standard.

Over in Japan, a few series are hitting a high for us Jdramers. And a few animes are hitting a high too.

Manga turned Anime turned live-action Hana Yori Dango took Jdramers by storm as it's unusual episode number of 9 was good enough yet it left people wanting for more and the 3 words at the end of episode 9 was an indication that there will be more rich guys and rich girls and a poor girl.

Although for 2006, there doesn't seem to be a hit Jdrama series, however, most of them are more than decent to watch which is way better than TVB 2006 lineups!

New animes like Kasimasi - Girl Meets Girl and Aria the Animation just to name a few. I can't list all of them, since there are too many. As usual, Animes don't disappoint at all.

Shakugan no Shana (灼眼のシャナ)

---

Sakai Yuji was a normal student, but one day his normal life was gone. He was assaulted by a monster, “Kuze no Togara”. It was a monster which came from another world, and was able to turn a human turn into a light to eat. It was a girl with red hair and red eyes that saved him, who was too surprised to move. Then, that girl said to him “You don’t exist anymore”. What she meant was...

---

What she meant was that he is actually already dead. Sakai Yuji real self is already dead, only the remainder remains in a form of a blue flame. However, he is special. He is not call "Torch", but "Mistes"


Torches are normal people that will burn out overtime.










She is a Flame Haze. She doesn't have a name. So, Sakai Yuji gave her the name Shana because her sword is known as Nietono no Shana. Her hair and eyes changed to flame red when she is in battle form!


The locket that Shana wears. It is the source of her power and also her advisor. It is call Flame of Heaven, Alastor








Another Flame Haze in town. Her source of power is from that book and her battle form is by turning into a werewolf kind of creature.


Fuzetsu. A spell that causes normal people to freeze but not those who aren't affected by it such as Flame Hazes and Mistes.




One of the Guze no Tomogara and the huge baby and ball thingy is his minions!


Enemy or Foe? Still unknown as he is call the Corpse Retriever!

Due to a deep trauma at school Sakurada Jun has refused to return. He spends his time in his room, surfing the web and ordering anything that takes his fancy, only to return the items just before payment is due. One day, he finds a web site that tells him to put his order in a drawer of his desk. He does so thinking it to be a joke, only to find that the letter disappears and a strange package arrives soon afterwards. It contains an exquisite doll, that, when wound, comes to life. She treats him as a servant of little worth, but over time helps him come to grips with his fears and in the life-or-death fights that soon follow her arrival.

Note : To those who don't agree with me, fine. At least tell me or give me a list of what you think is "Great Enough".

Note 2: This post is not complete yet, nor will it ever be complete. I will update it from time to time when I have watched more Animes/TV series and listened to more songs and themes!

Note 3: If you think I need to change something, please feel free to tell me and I will go check it out for myself.

Note 4: Instead of flaming and sending me anthrax, you can always give me a list of or "sell" me what you think is "Great Enough".

Note : In the anime Gundam Seed, "SEED Mode" is the ability for an individual, whether he is a Coordinator or not to go into a "bezerker mode" which allows for enhanced sight, hearing, and reflexes. This ability is usually triggered by extreme situations or from recalling significant traumas.

2006 and beyond.

2006. The year of the World Cup. Bleh. Uninteresting year.
Everyone will be annoying me with insane World Cup talk. Which team will win. Which team has the best players. Which team has the freaking advantage....etc.

I hope my soccer crazy friends will take a hint and stop bothering me about a stupid sport that isn't Beautiful in the first place.

And before anyone flame me. I don't have a favourite sport, but I just Hate Soccer.

Anyway, more TV series to come for 2006, and that's is more exciting than seeing 22 + 2 idiots on the field.
