So, what am I up to now? Currently, I'm in the midst of multiple assignment deadlines. I've having fun finishing the assignments.
Anyway, I'm now catching up on Gundam 00. The only anime I'm following this season is Special A - and a lot of TV shows I'm following now are due to end next week. Rock Band is due next week as well. Seems like a hell of a coincidence. :D
Look properly at the one who hasn't been seen entering but has always been there. Look again at the one who has been seen inside but hasn't been seen entering.
Look once more at the one who has been inside but doesn't have a map.
Look once more - and you will find the one who knows everything.
A week ago, I followed Shockrave on his quest for a new printer. He settled for a brother HL2140 from Officeworks - which I think is a decent laser printer. On the other hand, something else caught my eye:
The Energizer USB battery charger. It's no secret I'm a big fan of Energizer USB rechargable batteries, I have over 16 of them littered all over my apartment in many many devices. It's a nifty little device that charges battery via USB, and it even works with those USB adapters you may have laying about. While to most people this may not be a big deal, to me it is - when I travel, carrying one USB AC adapter and several USB cables saves a lot of space. (I chose the green coloured one simply because that felt like the most "Energizer Rechargable" brand oriented.)
The cable coils nicely around the device and the USB plug tucks in neatly into a slot built into the charger. Some of you may not value this simple aesthetic yet functional design, but I do.
Fully uncoiled, it looks like this:
Like other Energizer chargers, it supports charging AA and AAA batteries (it actually comes with two 900mAh AAA batteries.
The AAA batteries charge using the familiar fold down piece.
Curious about what it looks like inside underneath the batteries?
This charger can charge just one battery. (Handy for those who use rechargeable in mice like the VX Revolution that only use one battery.)
Once you've loaded the batteries, and closed the cover:
Then, download their software, plug it into the computer and:
(The timer did correct itself to 4 hours after a while. Not sure why it went down all the way to 9 hours 14 minutes.)
I'm not going to lie, it was an impulse buy, and serves little purpose to me now. That being said, if I need to charge only two batteries, this is a lot more convenient than the slightly bulkier travel charger I bring around. It serves its purpose, and like most Energizer chargers, the batteries don't get as hot as some other chargers do - and if you like having a small USB device that can charge batteries lying somewhere in your room near your computer - don't hesistate to pick one of these up. :D
In 2006, I made an impulse decision to buy two resin statues of Magic: the Gathering characters. One was of Eight-and-a-Half-Tails and another was of the Kodama of the North Tree. While I'm not gonna post photos of them, since they're no longer out on show like they used to be in my Arrow apartment, and they were pretty stupid purchases since nobody I knew appreciated them. Anyone who knows me also knows that I'm pretty bad at controlling my spending. I buy loads of random stuff on a whim, and it's usually worked for me.
I tend to think a lot when buying stuff, and this is one of the two really impulse purchases I've ever made. The other one is a story for another day. So, like always, I bring back some bulky box into my small Arrow apartment, stuff them into the storage (my apartment was a corner, so it had a small storage space). Anyway, I took them both out to examine. I found one of them lightly damaged, nothing I couldn't fix - so I put up the other one with a view to alternate every once in a while.
Needless to say, having a fox on somewhat of a stage/pedestal that looks like some kind of extravagant deity in addition to my already slightly strange behaviour - led to my housemate asking me whether or not I pray to the thing. And he wasn't kidding. *sweat*
After moving to my new place, I didn't display either since I didn't have the table space for them. (Arrow had these low drawers that I couldn't really do much with, so I just put the resin statue on one of them.)
Well, so here, there are in storage and not doing anything at all! Cool eh? Well - at least no one will think I pray to a nine-tailed fox deity and a monstrous looking forest spirit - right?
I've recently lost a hard drive worth of data. I lost roughly 80GBs of replaceable data, and managed to recover all of the data I lost that was irreplaceable. Either way, it is one of the many distractions that have come up with every day life, and just like how you (may or may not) have enjoyed my regular 3 day interval posts, sadly, that has to come to and end as I am now coming up on what must be among the most difficult set of exams yet.
I haven't actually seen the papers or have that much of an idea of how difficult they are, but I think that if I fool around any more, I'll be quite dead when exam time rolls along. This is coupled with other factors like gaming and writer's block - so expect a disruption in the scheduling of posts - again.
Blogging isn't an essential part of my life, and so takes very low priority. And yet again it will suffer erratic updates.
