Just because. There's really nothing much to write about. People know that I don't blog often because I no longer feel the burning need to plug in a post as often as when I first started doing this. Call me smug. I just don't feel it in my fingers... not when I've been doing this for what? 5 years now? Oh yea.. that new swanky archive list is telling on me. It has some statistical information.
Anyway, I can't begin to gush how much I appreciate DVDs nowadays. I've watched Trinity Blood like say... at least THREE times now. The early episodes at least once via the screenings on NTV7. Then I got pissed off at the normally not very great transmission and occasional non-existence of subtitles.
 | So what did I do? Go get the Trinity Blood, Ep. 1-24 (End) from a shop like Tower Records. Didn't manage to find the DVD set so I settled for the VCD. So I watched it all and listed down the 2 reasons why I should go get an exchange for a better set... there were FIVE annoying video blackouts in Ep. 9 and the audio in Ep. 18 did not sync to the video. So back to the shop I went and talked to the girl there. She said I was lucky that I didn't come a day earlier. The stock just came in. Would I like to exchange it for the DVD set that comes with the soundtrack too? Hell yeah I would. |
Btw, did I mention that the DVD set was cheaper by RM 9? That meant that I had to seek out some cheap DVD and VCD to make up the RM 9 difference... shop policy, no cash refund. But I wasn't going to complain coz it is giving me a chance to get a reasonably priced original DVD (found one I wanted).
And so anyway, back to watching Trinity Blood but on the DVD this time round. Finished Ep. 11 as of last night. I am extremely glad that I exchanged that darn VCD set for the beautiful DVDs. The colours are jumping out instead of the pixelation thing that is a known disease for anything put into VCDs. I know I am babbling. But I can't help myself when I can appreciate the beautiful artwork in its entirety.
And so people... this I present to you as my posting for the month of February (and it might be the only one).
