EDIT: At the moment, this post is largely irrelevant, insofar as it involves anything but subbed 02. Others with larger collections and more motivation have uploaded where I have not:
http://elektra-alpha.livejournal.com/85075.html - sub, 27-35 of 01 http://www.digimonspirit.net/episodes.htm - dub http://splash.livejournal.com/237959.html - sub, 1-26 of 01
Digimonspirit.net lists every episode (of 01 through Frontier) for download. ryuu_rogue has 01 subbed up to the Garudamon episode as of this edit, and wpp-fansubs.com has subbed 02 up to episode 20 but the trackers for many of them are apparently vacant. Also, bittorent can be slow - it was serious snail's pace when I downloaded the old 02 episodes the first time, although I think Ryuu_rogue's batch torrents, being newer and batch torrents, move much faster.
So if you want any...
Though I may not have much else of interest, I am in possession of the entirety of digimon adventure, 01 and 02 alike, on my hard drive.
(Subs I have 1-26 in 01, 1-19 in 02. Dubs for the rest and for more than a few of the ones I have subbed as well. But the dubs I have are VHS rips with commercials intact and youtube rips.)
If you need any episodes, comment on this entry. 'cause dammit, there are too many people out there who can't watch this awesome series.
( episodes here, uploaded 1-10 and 24 thus far in 01, 1-17 in 02. )

-Marathoned 11 episodes of Kenshin with mongoosehwrs yesterday. Was fun. Dub > sub, Kyoto arc > Tokyo arc, wishing I had better observations, but I still enjoyed it muchly.
-Cutting class right now. I don't know how to handle burnout, except by dropping one again. (But then I'm out for textbooks, and my claims to be able to handle five classes like a normal student go out the window... Maybe Columbus Day weekend will refresh me.)
-Stopped chickening out and worked up the courage to try therapy again. Appointment on Wednes. It probably won't help, as I have an unfortunate tendency to acknowledge good advice, know in the back of my brain I should do something, and then proceed to not do so anyway. And I don't see what a professional can do that everyone else I know can't...
-Somewhat annoyed by EU3 at the moment. 50%+ warscore, maxed war exhaustion and Vijayanagar won't even cede a province. In Nomine supposedly handles rebels and great power wars better, but no one's ported the bluemap mod, so I can't play it. (Guess I'll white peace out and take a relatively isolationist position while upgrading techs and stuff. Or go back to kicking ass as Italy after having turbo-annexed the Ottomans.)

Haven't followed baseball much this year - watched two or three games all regular season. Keeping track again now, because playoffs and I'm a New Englander and all that.
The Tampa Bay Devil Rays are in the ALCS. They are favored. They won the division. WTF, world?
(Not that it matters much, but... Go Sox!)
Otherwise... It's nice to have a D&D campaign again. Dwarven Barbarian this time around.
Feeling a little burnt out academically, but still passing all my classes - got a couple test grades I'm really not proud of and should probably buckle down, and my dreams of magna cum laude are probably over (probably. It's still early, my bad test grades were more "forgetting my book on an open book quiz/mixing up qualitative/quantitative" than "Too depressed to study" and I've written solid research papers when I was worse than I am now - found writing them a helpful distraction.) but even like this I should be able to graduate; I didn't get a single warning grade. (I'll probably need to work a bit harder than I am for grad or law school, though, and what can one do with a four-year history degree? This should be my wakeup call, dammit!) Heck, I have an appointment tomorrow, so even the sleep issue should go away.
Gundam 00 S2 isn't looking good so far, IMO. Hope it gets better.

2:01 pm - This year wasn't a *total* disaster.

I honestly don't think I've ever had as much fun following a series as I did with Code Geass R2. Maybe Digimon adventure, in its golden age - digicity and megchan's and endless shipping wars. Maybe. (Bulbagarden was up there at times, but not the anime board.) I barely read any fic for it - a bit of crack on /a/, but /a/ is after all an imageboard. But... coming back from cons, I was excited to log on /a/ and see the shitstorms which came with every episode, the new Suzaku nicknames, the chess matches, the guns loaded with babypowder.
(Code Geass R1 is a serious anime with interesting themes of decolonization and reform vs. revolution. It had its schools and mechs and CLAMP designs, but I could still take it seriously, massacre princess and all. ...and I didn't watch it with /a/. XP)
It's monday now. /a/ is supposedly watching Gundam 00, but not really. I'll be watching - it's *GUNDAM* and I'm a sucker for politics anime - but honestly I'd rather read good Geass fic. XP
(Any recs? I miss my Gayass.)

In retrospect, 3 am despair does not make for good lj entries. I'm not this bad most of the day. (It looks worse than it is because my default response to despair has become "emo in lj", while my day-to-day life of EU3 and anime doesn't always inspire updates.) Maybe if I was, I wouldn't be so afraid to go back and try therapy again - or maybe I'd be too hopeless to even try. x.x
Apart from that... First Gundam. Saw it again, first time in seven years. Looks even more dated, but the story's so good you kinda forget in the middle of it. Very fitting music, too. And the beginnings of an excellent storyline.
(I was watching with a friend, not on comp, so I can't make a detailed list of fun observations.)
EDIT: ZOMG. SUNRISE'S LOGO. IT'S HARO. next thing you know I'll be pointing out the S in the playstation logo. [/baka]

Another late night.
A realization that my destiny is that of a NEET, for when one goes from "okay" to "borderline suicidal" in a twenty-five minute stretch when trying to fall asleep (and this while using sleeping medication) there truly is no hope.
Optimism cannot be sustained when the situation is objectively hopeless, after all.

Japan's PM reads Rozen Maiden.
Yes, he's a nationalist right-wing blowhard. Yes, I'd vote against his party were I a Japanese citizen. BUT HE READS ROZEN MAIDEN. AND ACCORDING TO HIS WIKI ARTICLE, 10-20 MANGA MAGAZINES PER WEEK.
(Yeah, I have nothing to update with.)

8:28 pm - Toonami is dead. But on our backs, and in our hearts (and in Jetstream) it lives on.
|
Two hours left. Goodbye, Toonami. You had a great run. CN, you are fucking morons.
Hope something else can create the new generation of otaku.

It's probably a bad idea to be this alienated from my surrounding culture, but it gets worse with every convo I eavesdrop on. Sex, alcohol, music, parties, clothing, classes... it's all they talk about, and it all seems so boring and mundane. And they're annoyingly conformist, as well - or maybe it's just that their standards are ones I really don't want to conform to, while conforming to otaku or internet culture is no big deal.
Screw all that. Even if it means being sad and lonely, I'll be in my dorm, watching anime.

10:24 am - I haven't said anything too inflammatory in a while...

Terrorism is not an ideology, nor is it a concept which can be defeated in battle. It is a tactic - and in many cases, the only tactic the weak have which can defeat major powers. That they target civilians is horrendous, but at the same time, armies generally kill more civilians accidentally than terrorists kill intentionally; innocent people dying is a fact of wars. To declare war on terrorism is nothing more than to declare war on almost any groups who fight against the status quo and would get smashed in conventional warfare, no matter how awful in some places the status quo may be.
That said, Al-Qaeda are a bunch of islamist nutballs who deserve only death. And I still haven't forgiven them for making CN drop First Gundam.

2:40 pm - Status update.

In case someone reading cares about me...
I... haven't recovered. I'm still sad and lonely and enormously bitter and wishing I had the strength of isolation I once possessed and way too broken up about this. Saying "I'm okay" is premature, I think; there was still a part of me, somewhere in the back of my mind, which hoped the LHC would create a black hole and destroy the Earth.
But... I've stopped hating myself. I've found that thing called "self-esteem" that people seem to need. And... I've finally gone a week without contemplating suicide. Which means, I think, that I've regained the will to live. ^_^

- Flist talking about it. Only way I'm doing NaNo this year is if I get a serious editing blitz going and have the first 50k words edited by november. - Nia is freaking moe. "Pissing off person" and all. Starfire's voice, sounded piyomon-ish. Also, I should've listened to whoever told me to watch Gurren Lagann earlier. - What does it mean when you spend an entire volume squeeing? (Yeah... pokemon special fanboy.) - Cut class by accident today. Hope I'm not so idiotic about my schedule in the future... x.x - NaT, HaT is so sad. I don't know why I'm *not* crying right now - think I'm just out of tears. six tear-free days and counting w00t. Still immensely bitter. - Watching a hands-off paradox megacampaign. You'd question my sanity if you knew what I was talking about. (One century down, eight to go.)

Yelling "kawaiiiiii" is, in and of itself, kawaii.
My Gligar has a suitor. I'll have a pokemon TCG battle next thursday.
Classes... three good ones, two I'm afraid will lead to emotional breakdowns. I'm too misanthropic for human behavior, but it is a requirement.
Offline!social life... AE was fun. But it says something about me that I left after four hours, I think. And didn't have the guts to express romantic interest in any of the n00bs. Not like I have a clue what I'm doing, anyway. so ronery ;_;
Online!social life... I need one. x.x

I haven't been a New England separatist since the mooninites attacked, but I'm still not particularly attached to the idea of the US. Quite frankly, I wouldn't give a shit if Alaska did secede, and I don't understand why so many people are passionately against it.
Nonetheless... if you're trying to be VP of the USA, it's probably a good idea to not be tied to secessionist groups. Republican failures make me lol.

(Personal life-wise... classes good, happiness lies in the pokemon world, have to do everything distracted lest I slip into despair, etc.)
