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. ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) 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. )

2:30 pm - After episode 26, life goes on.
|
I'm tired of watching anime, reading stories, and RPing as interesting characters. They have their place - indeed, they're absolutely necessary - but it's still somewhat tiresome and saddening next to my own irrelevance.
Despite all the strangenesses in my life which could easily intrigue another, I want my adventure to begin. It's just that the world is completely mundane, or perhaps that I'm a background character in everywhere but my own mind.
;_;
(I say this, but I haven't watched anime in a couple days, or RPed in over a month, and my computer has a lackluster gaming library... Maybe all I need to do is to go home and find that section of IRC where people run online D&D sessions or something.)

(Disclaimer: I am, as of this writing, a registered democrat. I'm far to the left of the party, supporting them for pragmatic reasons, and amused by whitewashing no matter which side is doing it.)
As taken from http://www.democrats.org/a/party/history.html, the party history on the Democratic Party's website:
In 1848, the National Convention established the Democratic National Committee, now the longest running political organization in the world. The Convention charged the DNC with the responsibility of promoting "the Democratic cause" between the conventions and preparing for the next convention.
As the 19th Century came to a close, the American electorate changed more and more rapidly. The Democratic Party embraced the immigrants who flooded into cities and industrial centers, built a political base by bringing them into the American mainstream, and helped create the most powerful economic engine in history. Democratic Party leader William Jennings Bryan led a movement of agrarian reformers and supported the right of women's suffrage, the progressive graduated income tax and the direct election of Senators. As America entered the 20th Century, the Democratic Party became dominant in local urban politics.

12:45 am - No more deluded by reaction/on tyrants only we'll make war
|
122 years ago today, 300k-500k workers across America began a general strike for the eight-hour day. Three days later, it ended in bloodshed in Chicago, with cops and anarchists ruining everything.
In 1888, the Second Internationale proclaimed May 1 international workers' day to commemorate the labor struggle. The holiday has seldom been observed in the US to begin with, and its declined even more in this age when even the far left is not red, but green.
The world remembers. The US, for the most part, has forgotten. The 40-hour week is increasingly illusory, the labor movement is struggling worldwide, working-class democrats are voting for an architect of NAFTA from Wal-Mart's board of directors, while republicans are yelling at people to work longer hours - if you get foreclosed, just get a second job. And it's not just the US - it seems like workers are taking a beating from neoliberalism all around the world, although they're beginning to push back and seem to have made great strides in Latin America.
Even here, things are beginning to look up, if just a little - the day won't pass unlamented, like it did when I was younger - although it's a bit discouraging that most of the ones protesting are first-generation immigrants from countries which remember Haymarket. (Yeah, I know, the working class has no borders. Doesn't stop illegal immigrants and citizens from blaming each other that big business is ripping them off - we've completely lost that spirit of solidarity in this country. And, despite the herculean efforts of the various tiny leftist and anarchist parties, doesn't mean we'll make significant inroads.)
That said... I haven't forgotten.
Happy international workers' day, everyone! Go to your local protests! Wave the red flag! Overthrow your bourgeoise masters! :D (I say, although I'm making up for procrastination on end-of-year assignments today... it shouldn't take eight hours, at least. Yay for being a student.)

The word "pidgeons" gets 156k results on google.
Most of these are, in all likelihood, not the result of pokemon inscribing misspellings upon the lexicons of the world's youth.
Nonetheless, having just made (and corrected, but it's not a typo - you can't hit d by accident there!) the mistake myself in a serious essay, I am amused.

1:12 pm - It's impossible, of course. And the symbolism is all wrong; they should've bloomed 3/20
|
I know what I saw. The colors and branches were like an anime screenshot, and the ground was littered with the petals it was still shedding. (Maybe they're common on college campuses which like to plant as many kinds of trees as possible? I have a photo, but cellphone-quality and don't know how to upload.
It's a single tree, mind you. Nothing to organize a festival over, although if we had a bigger otaku community I'm sure we'd try. (Honestly, I'm surprised AE didn't say anything - maybe they figured you couldn't miss it? I dunno.) But still...
I saw a sakura tree in bloom! *squeeeeeeeeee*

10:13 pm - I need a Gabumon.
|
'cause there isn't some wisdom for a Miyako to shout at me while giving an epic slap that'll actually help.
Tired of Civ and Paradox games. They're not doing it for me anymore, and they won't even if someone finds some epic new strategy for me to try out.
Anime* is great, and I watch plenty, and fandom has its strong points, but... there's a lot which doesn't change. Rewatching a series I first saw in middle school, a favorite series I've loved for half my life... it's the absolute worst place to be when I want to forget something. And romance is a frequently discussed subject, from Tenchi to FuYu... and when it isn't explicitly mentioned, shipping wars are a fan pastime.
A fun one. When you're in a different emotional state.
*This is a total lie. If all anime were great, I would be watching subs like mad this season and beginning to recover. Some anime, however, are freaking amazing.
Occasionally the story's so powerful it works anyway. Even when the series itself is the most powerful reminder I have, and I don't have other fannish memories of it as a distraction, it can be so strong that I don't even think of her when its mentioned. Or sometimes its wholly unrelated and awesome. (Hence why I'm going to MIT club in two days for Dennou Coil.) But... a lot of the time, especially on a second or third or fourteenth viewing, it isn't. (And finding a fanfic that powerful, especially one which qualifies as gen, is REALLY FREAKING DIFFICULT.)
My room even *looks* like the darkness inside of me. No one's going to bite my leg, of course (this gesture is fairly awkward human-to-human, if nothing else) and its not as though I've been holding my tears in.
Human contact(by which is meant contact with normal humans) doesn't work. College means eavesdropping like hell; dorm walls are only so thin. It's bad enough overhearing them. I ended up curling into the fetal position and crying before orientation was through for a reason.
Where I am sure doesn't help, but I don't think I can entirely blame it. Sure, I'd be happier in the Boston area - going on round-trip journeys as long as one's anime club meets for doesn't say good things about the region - but... it's not as though a few more events or local friends would get me through the long, dark tea-time of the soul.
A new obsession would be great, so long as its capable of being all-consuming.
At the moment, I'm bored out of a mind which I can't be alone with.
What the heck do I do? x.x

4:57 pm - Memes are a good way to pass the time
|
(Ganked from ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) anigirl15.)
a. Post a list of 10 fandoms.
b. Have your friends list guess your favorite character from each one.
c. When guessed, bold the line, include the character name, and write a sentence about why you like that character.
1. Digimon Adventure (02 included; they're one timeline) - Oikawa. There's something about his loneliness and losing Hiroki and longing for another world turned to desperation that I really sympathize with. Guessed correctly by anigirl15
2. Digimon Savers
3. Pokemon Special(I think it's "Adventures" in the states. The manga with Red and Blue and Green, where the Elite Four try to wipe out humanity.)
4. Spiral: Suiri no Kizuna
5. Rurouni Kenshin - Himura Kenshin. Prettiness and being good with a sword and occasional cuteness and stuff aside, I love the way he sticks to his pacifist convictions in such a violent age, even when(like with those guys he fights in the first episode) it bites him back. Guessed correctly by anigirl15
6. Animorphs(I had to throw one ridiculously easy one on there, ne?) - Tobias Fangor. At first it was because he was the dreamer who got fazed by the normal stuff, but was at home with an alien ship descending - I love that character type - but then he stayed too long in morph and became both admirable and *really* interesting, a guerilla trapped as a hawk in a romance limited to two-hour bursts. Guessed correctly by anigirl15
7. Pokemon
8. Ouran High School Host Club
9. Fruits Basket
10. Slayers

12:45 am - Oh seven, try to be free.
|
I'm alternately being energized by the lyrics of brave heart and finding them naive lies akin to the power of hope which don't work unless part of the world's makeup is the power to grant wishes.
I, too, have stagnated. I'm attending classes dealing with new material and all, but... I'm playing the same games and watching the same anime for catharsis as I have for years. (And not just catharsis. I'm picking up DVDs of shows I know, too...) The most recent change(as opposed to "collapse" or "surrender") that I can think of is realizing 4chan contains more than hentai.
There are brilliant things in this world I'm not even touching. An intro to lit class does, in fact, introduce someone to literature. A good creative writing teacher often does the same.
I have been reminded of Borges by Vamdemon's incantation to open the gate between worlds and gained new respect for both his writing and digimon (It slipped my memory from the first time I watched episode 27, then heard them talking about it in ep 28, so I went back. "I hold all the cards and they are no longer a mystery" was delivered brilliantly, but "Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius" was too, and it opens so many comparisons.) Yet I still haven't checked the latter out in any real detail - all I've read of his was the exact story referenced in digimon, this without knowing it had been. I ponder the possibility that my professor recommended this as much because of my I <3 digimon pin as because of the literary tastes I demonstrated - I didn't think my writing or comments in class were screaming "you'd love Borges" *that* much - but it's just another wild flight of imagination.
...I also want to do detailed comparisons to digimon and see what fits. And this from a single incantation.
(This would not be the first time digimon inspired me to check out a writer, if for a second time. OTOH, at least Lovecraft got a whole episode.)
...between the writing staff, Koji Wada's music, and the monster designs, I have little doubt that this is indeed the greatest thing ever. I spent all episode 29 in a squeegasm.
There's also great writing beyond Japan, and I can afford to wait a bit and broaden my horizons; I'm getting all the non-gaming references at anime cons, and between Adult swim, my anime club and the occasional drop into /a/, I should stay abreast of the good stuff anyway. I'm not broadening them, I probably won't (save what I must inevitably do for class) but it'll hammer in the back of my head until I'm too bored and snap and waste a day reading.
I'm also still five episodes behind on digimon. This two days after it made MU, about ten after they were subbed, the (blocked but seriously I could've found somewhere to torrent from if I really tried) torrents were released, and started to filter onto streaming video sites. This last paragraph is all you need to know about my recent emotional state, although worrying won't do any good and I will absolutely marathon them tomorrow.

1:14 pm - Moar memes.
|
You are 79% 4chan material. You're an average 4channer - far from being a newfag, with plenty of knowledge of our subculture and various memes, and the potential to be downright hilarious at times. Yet you've managed to keep a few shreds of your sanity, and aren't the out-of-hand Anonymous that makes it to those news reports. In other words, you are the best kind of 4channer.
How 4chan are you?

(Apart from that... winning on Warlord with the Mongols hasn't stopped my civ addiction. Not much else to talk about.)

I want to update right now, although since my last update I haven't done anything but schoolwork, play civ(1750, Spanish declared war on me, razed Tabriz, I have freedom of religion, etc.) be annoyed with the connection speed at RWU, and browse around the interwebs.
I'm refreshing incessantly anyway.
