The Road to Elysium

This has to be one of the best Final Fantasy-songs I’ve ever heard. Namely Suteki Da Ne, performed by Rikki. The Romaji Lyrics are as follows:

kaze ga yoseta kotoba ni
oyoida kokoro
kumo ga hakobu ashita ni
hazunda koe

tsuki ga yureru kagami ni
furueta kokoro
hoshi ga nagare koboreta
yawarakai namida

suteki da ne
futari te wo tori aruketa nara
ikitai yo
kimi no machi ie ude no naka

sono mune
karada azuke
yoi ni magire
yumemiru

kaze ha tomari kotoba ha
yasashii maboroshi
kumo ha yabure ashita ha
tooku no koe

tsuki ga nijimu kagami wo
nagareta kokoro
hoshi ga yurete koboreta
kakusenai namida

suteki da ne
futari te wo tori aruketa nara
ikitai yo
kimi no machi ie ude no naka

sono kao
sotto furete
asa ni tokeru
yumemiru

While the english translation is:

The wind, like a heart that swam in the accumulated words
The clouds, a voice that was shot into the holding future

The moon, a shaking heart in an unsteady mirror
The stars, gentle tears in an overflowing stream

Isn’t it beautiful, to walk together in each others hands
I do so want to go,
To your city, your house, into your arms.

That heart,
held within your body
In those confusing nights
I dream

The wind, its halting words are a gentle illusion
The clouds, the broken future like a distant voice

The moon, a heart flowing in the clouded mirror
The stars, broken and swaying, like tears unable to be hidden.

Isn’t it beautiful, to walk together in each others hands
I do so want to go,
To your city, your house, into your arms.

That face,
A soft touch,
Dissolving into morning,
I dream.

So.

The other day I wrote a post about having buggered up my computer, and ordering a new one. Well, a little status-update on just that. I ordered a computer from Komplett.no, a norwegian company that sells hardware through their online shop. The estimated time of arrival of the computer was about 3-4 days. So after ordering, I waited and waited. Day after day I kept hitting the reload button to see if there had been a change of status. Of course, there hadn’t. As the very patient man I am (haaah) I sent them an email asking why it took so long. The ETA on their website had already passed, so I was beginning to wonder. The reply I got from them the next day was something along the lines of “Our system goes a bit nuts now and then, so the ETA there is wrong. We’re ready to assemble your computer in 3-4 days, and will ship it in another 3-4 days”.

Needless to say I was pissed and rather moody. Not wanting to take more crap from them, I canceled the order, found my wallet, and headed to the capital to buy the hardware personally. I got some pretty nice stuff, and headed home. My house is located about 1 hour and 30 minutes from Oslo, so it’s quite a trip.

Upon coming home I start to replace some old parts with some new, and behold, one freaking cable is missing. Namely the one in the picture below.

I called the shop I bought the stuff in and told them to send me the bloody cable. Not able to play games, just surf the web regularly, I’m stuck doing nothing till Monday. How’s that for going insane.
