Song: You're Unbelievable, EMF
GUESS WHAT SHOCKING THING HAPPENED. Honestly, I've been using Paint Shop Pro for the last 2 or 3 years. I love the program to death and despite what everyone else says, it's certainly NOT the "second best" compared to Photoshop. So back to that shocking thing...I GOT PHOTOSHOP TODAY. No, not the trial version, but the actual version. I can SAVE ahahahaha. xD You know what was funny...I spent the whole day trying to figure the thing out. It took a lot longer than PSP to open/load, and everything was so complicated. O.o A simple step in PSP would take an extra 3 or 4 steps in PS to get the same effect. I think that's what bothered me the most. I was annoyed by the end of my 5 hour stab at how to use the crappy thing. But hey, I did it. Yes I did. This is the FIRST LAYOUT I have ever made in Photoshop. *shock* Today's an important day in history. =P Do I hate PS? Not really. I definitely don't like it as much as I love my PSP. xD Bah. Swell.

Now that I've gotten over my initial shock, onto other matters. I got the chance to watch the dubbed INUYASHA yesterday while babysitting. I've heard that people were content with Inuyasha's voice, but not with Kagome's. So I thought I'd see for myself. Honestly speaking, I am swearing that Kagome's voice actress is one of the senshi in the dubbed BSSM. I can recognize those heart-attacking voices everywhere...or maybe they just all sound the same. Inuyasha's voice was better, but not the greatest. I think I like Kappei (original seiyuu of Inuyasha) too much, so this may very well be coming from a highly biased point of view. =P Shippou's voice was awful too ;_; The poor guy...so unemotional. I didn't find the originally amusing scenes half as funny as I had when I saw them for the first time subbed. @.@ Now Miroku's voice is a darling. :D I loved his dubbed voice ^_^ It's a lot like the subbed, and he's actually funny at times. Although, they all said Naraku's name wrong, =_= sort of like the Sakura name in dubbed CCS. They certainly like to stress the middle syllable rather than the first ne? I watched Cowboy Bebop too :D The voices were actually pretty nice ^_^ It was pleasing to my ears not to hear squeaking once in a while. Faye's english voice actress is very deep compared to the squeaking girls of the dubbed BSSM. Still, I must admit, the dubbing is getting better to some slight extent, only on Adult Swim though. The warning on Adult Swim, saying that viewers must be 18 or over...that's just bullcrap. The stuff they show don't even have the slightest ecchi-ness to it, unless you count how Miroku's a lecher and feels Kagome and Sango's butt a couple of times. O.o Ah, speaking of which, Sango hasn't appeared. ^_^ I hope her voice actress won't be too hard on the ears. x_x

This layout is very wintery, shall we say?^_^ It's freakin' icy over here, we've already gotten about 5 inches of none-stop snow since the end of November. Christmas is only 3 weeks away =_= I really need to start shopping for gifts.

[EDIT] W00t! Go check out this! Kirby rocks! XD

WOOHOO! New layout! Photoshop IS harder to use than PSP but I like it. :) The dub actor for Inuyasha is the same one as the 2nd dub actor for Ranma (his name is Richard Ian Cox, he used to be Alec Ramsey in the Black Stallion TV show and I ADORE him ;)
BTW, the layout stealer actually had the gall to direct link. Soooo, I replaced the .gif of it with one stating that she stole my layout ^^ Mean but effective

Lol, first layout with PS? The layout looks very gorgeous!

Well PS is not that complicated once you're getting used to it (I myself is confused using PSP ^^;;) but yes, the loading time is loooooong!

YAY! ANOTHER PS-er!!! Photoshop is wonderful, I don't kow what I'd do without it. *hugs it*

Nice new layout! You have no idea how freshing it is to me, when the temp. outside is in the 30s. What is that image thing on the layout? Looks a bit like science equipment, a conical flask like thing. Or... it looks a bit... well... dirty. *winks* J/K!!! ^__^
