A package from YesAsia.com came today.. 2 things were inside.. The 2006 BoA Calendar and this:
The PB is on sale for only $25.99!! Pretty good deal if you ask me. There is a few more cheap books I may pickup later.. 
Few weeks ago my old laptop has decided to finally die on me.. 
With the XMas season coming I’ve decided to get myself something nice this year.. Like a new laptop.. My final choices were between 3 laptops.. Toshiba M70, Toshiba M60 and an older Eurocom 17″ beast.. Because of the age of the Euocom model I’ve decided to go with one of the Toshibas.. So it was 15″4 vs. 17″ screen.. The other hardware was pretty similar.. I’ve decided to go with the bigger screen..
Toshiba Satellite M60 (PSM60C-CD600E)
Here are some of the stats stolen.. err.. BORROWED from the Toshiba site with my comments..
CPU
Intel Pentium M Processor 740 (1.73GHz, 533MHz FSB, L1 Cache 32KB/32KB, L2 Cache 2MB)
Well.. I didn’t really need a super beast.. So I went for the slow CPU.. Still faster than my desktop.. ;p
RAM
1.5GB DDR2
Hard Drive
Toshiba MK1032GAX 100GB 5400rpm
Like, like.. But uber-hot.
Optical Drive
TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-L632B DVD Super-Multi Drive
Writing: CD-R (24x), CD-RW (10x), DVD-R (8x), DVD-RW (4x), DVD+R (8x), DVD+RW (4x), DVD-RAM (3x), DVD+R(DL) (2.4x)
Fucking loud when writting.. But it writes almost any popular format so I can’t complain..
Display
17.0″ Wide XGA TFT with TruBrite
Native LCD Panel Resolution: 1440x900x16.7 million colours
WTF is with that resolution.. Gah.. Lack of wallpapers.. Need to make my own.. ;p
I don’t know why Toshiba didn’t go with something higher.. I’ve seen 17″ laptops with 1600×1024..
Graphics Card
NVIDIA GeForce Go 6600 with 128MB DDR dedicated video memory, PCI Express 16x
IT PLAYS CIVILIZATION IV!!! <- that's all that matters.. (and yes, the game sucks) ;p
Sound
Realtek ALC250 with Harman Kardon Stereo speakers.
Could be better.. The sound is pretty quiet.. But the speakers are nice..
Communication
V.92 56K Data/Fax Modem
10/100 integrated Ethernet LAN
Intel Wireless LAN (802.11ag)
WTF? No bluetooth?!?!?! No gigabit??!?! And why bother with the modem?
Expansion
PC Card slot supports one Type II PC Cards; supports CardBus
Only one slot..
5-in-1 Multimedia port (SD, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, MMC, xD-Picture Card)
NO CF?!?!?!
3 USB 2.0
Not enough ports..
IEEE1394
Mini-firewire ports are EVIL!
Express Card Slot
Is there actualy any hardware for that? ;p
Keyboard
Full sized 103 keys with numeric keypad
I like it.. But.. Yes.. There are ‘but’s.. Because of the addition of the keypad the keyboad is not centered.. So I keep hitting wrong keys.. Also some of the keys are ‘weird’ shaped.. Like uber-small right Shift key or tinny Enter key.. And WTF is with the extra \| key? I don’t see the need for it.. In general the keyboard feels hard.. I actualy have to press hard to get it to register.. Maybe it’ll change once it gets worn in..
Dimensions
WxDxH: 394 x 280.3 x 29.8(Front)/37(Back) mm
Weight: 3.32kg (7.32lbs)
Yes.. It’s pretty BIG.. And HEAVY..
General comments
In general this model is pretty sweet.. But here’s the BAD STUFF. ;p
1. Hot spots.
There is a few spots that get pretty hot when using the laptop.
1) Bottom middle part of the screen. Just above the multimedia keys.
2) Hard drive area.. Pretty annoying when you keep the laptop on your lap..
3) Fan intake. Just like I’ve seen in some of the new laptops the intake is on the bottom of the laptop. Once again right where your leg would be if you were using your toy without the desk. Also forget about keeping your laptop on your bed or carpet.. That’ll cover the intake causing the fan to run non-stop..
4) The most annoying spot is the one under your right palm when you type.. The area above the RAM and modem/WiFi cards is pretty hot.. And it happens to be just when your hand will rest when you type or use the touchpad.
None of those spots are HOT-hot.. They’re just annoyingly worm..
Keyboard
I’ve already mentioned the small problem with the size or shape of the keys above but there is more.. I really hate when they keep moving the damn Delete key around.. Can’t they just decide on one fucking location for that key? Every time I use a new laptop I spend tons of time looking for that one stupid key. Thank god for the keypad on this model. I keep it off so I still can use my pinky to press Delete, Home, End.
Resolution
Fucking random resolution if you ask me.. ;p
Drivers
WTF? The only disk you get is the Recovery Disk. So if you wipe out your system (like I did the same day I got it) you’re pretty much forced to visit Toshiba site to download your drivers. How about giving us more than just the minimum driver support Toshiba? Please? ;p
Power Adapter
Baaah.. They’re using a new type of a plug.. I’ve had 2 power adapters for my old laptop.. One at home and one at work.. I thought I could just keep the same adapters to use with this laptop.. But noo.. They HAD to change the plug.. My old adapters simply don’t fit the socket on the M60..
With this I end.. Overall it’s a one badass laptop.. If you can get over those small problems you’ll be happy with your choice.. I know I am.. 
My 2 (well, 4) most badass Pinky’s are finally here.. w00t, w00t, w00t..

Here’s the second of my Top 10 lists:
Top 10 Best Japanese Vocals
I’m not going to upload any pictures cause in the lists that will follow the looks don’t matter. It’s the voice that counts.
Btw. When I was thinking about people whom I should put on my lists I went through albums/singles, music videos AND live performances.. So even tho someone may sound great in the studio but they suck in live enviroment I wont include them in my lists. (example: BoA) ;p
There wont be much writting either. Unless I have some recomendations..
Top 10 Female Vocals
1) Yoshida Miwa (Dreams Come True) (DOB: May 6th, 1965)
No real suprises here. Miwa is probably one of the best singers on the planet. Sounds amazing in live and has no problems pulling though over 3 hours long concerts without her voice breaking half way though. Most of the DCT songs are highly recomended. But to really hear the beauty of her voice either see one of their concerts or.. ‘Snow Dance’ performance from Music Fair from Jan 27th, 2001..
2) Onitsuka Chihiro (DOB: Oct 30th, 1980)
Probably the ‘strongest’ voice I’ve ever heard. The first time I’ve heard her was pretty late, when she released ‘Infection’. Her ‘Ultimate Crash ’02 Live at Budokan’ is highly recomended. (as long as you forget about the visuals cause it’s.. hmm.. interesting.. ) ;p
3) Namie Amuro (DOB: Sep 20th, 1977)
Yay! Namie beat Kumiko!! ;p Recomendations: any old 1990′s stuff.. and her 2004+ stuff..
4) Kuraki Mai (DOBL Oct 10th, 1982)
If you like slower stuff you’ll love Mai..
5) Koda Kumi (DOB: Nov 13th, 1982)
She had to be on this list.. Beautiful voice.. Great in live performances.. Almost anything by her is highly recomended..
6) Utada Hikaru (DOB: Jan 19th, 1983)
No need for introduction here. Recomended: anything released in Japan. Stay away from ‘Exodus’ ;p
7) Hirahara Ayaka (DOB: May 9th, 1984)
The newest addition to this list. Another of the ‘slow’ and ‘uber-voice’ artists.. Recomendations: ‘Jupiter’ / ‘The Voice’..
AI (DOB: Nov 2nd, 1981)
Dunno.. I don’t really listen to AI too much nowdays.. But I think she’s got one of those voices that stick in your head for a long time after you stop listening to her songs.. Recomendations: anything..
9) Matsuura Aya (Hello! Project) (DOB: Jun 25th, 1986)
Probably the only really talented person in the entire Hello!Project. ;p After dumping the whole bubble-pop she’s turned into an amazing singer. Anything after ‘The last night’ is recomended unless you want ‘ne~e’ ;p Also very highly recomended is the episode of ‘Yume Ongakukan’ from June 8th, 2004 where she performed some of her older hits in a jazz style.. Great stuff..
10) Kawase Tomoko (The Brilliant Green / Tommy february6 / Tommy heavenly6) (DOB: Feb 6th, 1975)
Aaaah.. Tommy.. Anything from any of their ‘personas’ should be ok to be recomended.. ;p
Other recomendations:
Santos Anna (Bon-Bon Blanco)
Yuri (move)
Saegusa Yuka (Sageusa U-ka in db)
Yumi/RUM (Heartsdales)
CICO & YUKI (Bennie K)
And now..
Top 10 Male Vocals!!!
1) Hirai Ken (DOB: Jan 17th, 1972)
Probably the only japanese male artist I actualy like. Great voice, no problems live.. What else do you need? ;p
2) Hikawa Kiyoshi (DOB: Sep 6th, 1977)
HAHAHA! I bet no one was expecting to see THIS!! ;p If.. He only sang something else than enka he’d move to the first spot.. ‘Zun, zun, zun, zundoko, KIYOSHI!!’
3) Kimura Takuya (SMAP) (DOB: Nov 13th, 1972)
Mmm.. Takuya.. mmm.. aa.. I mean.. I think he’s the only person who could survive as a solo artist out of the whole SMAP (anyone still remember G? buahahahaha!!) ;p
4) Camui Gackt (DOB: Jul 4th, 1973 ????)
Oh, Gackt.. He had to be on this list.. I mean.. For someone like 450 years old he’s holding pretty good..
5) me?
Sorry, I don’t really follow male artists or groups.. ;p
That’s it for now..
Finally after all the begging and praying I’ll post some hardcore stuff for all you perverts out there.. Here are some dripping wet pussy pictures for you guys..
WHA?!?! Did you really expect me to upload anything else? ;p
Anyways.. Have you ever seen on TV shows how people clean their cats and how the animals love the water and stuff? Well.. I don’t think our cat has ever seen those programs. Every time my sister tries to wash her she completly freaks out as if someone was trying to kill her..
Ok, ok.. I know.. All you perverts came to this page to see some hardcore stuff.. So.. Just for you.. Here’s some girl on girl action.
