Hooray!

Did any of you ever get the free mousepads from artscow a while ago? I love this one of my waifu, but I'm too afraid to use it. So I just use the SHAMEIMARU and Beatrice mousepads I already had. Been kind of busy lately, but that should end soon and I'll get to blogging and following everyone again! It'll be great.



IN OTHER NEWS, GIANTS WON GAME ONE OF THE WORLD SERIES~ I know, I'm such a fag for liking normalfag sports related stuff, but this is the only thing I really care about. My grandpa raised me to be this way, and my favorite team has been the Giants for as long as I can remember, even though they never really win. I'm really confident that they have a great chance this year against the rangers though. Both teams are pretty good, but Giants are definitely better. I mean, LOOK HOW MOE THEY ARE. Lincecum is my husbando, holy shit he's awesome. (・∀・ )

Makes it even better that and acquaintance of mine likes the rangers. He was quite...unhappy today. ( ゚ヮ゚)

Anyway, I'm a faggot, giants are going to win the world series this year, etc.

JAPAN, Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney.

>The first trailer for the brand new crossover for the Nintendo 3DS: Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney!



WHAT THE FFFFFFFFFFF JAPAAAAAAAAN.  Now I HAVE TO buy the 3DS. GOD DAMN IT, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY. IT'S AWESOME THOUGH.

Tewhew posters among other things

Isn't mine, but I wish it was. Photo courtesy of /jp/. Been thinking of getting something like this done for a while. It just looks so damn nice and classy. Thinking of maybe doing this online, because I have no idea where i would get a poster printed this big where I live. Also, power levels etc. If not a touhou poster, then maybe the umineko portraits. If I get one of battler, does that make me gay? He's fabulous. My room needs some classing up. I need to paint the walls as well. I can't live with this color much longer. I won't even tell you guys what color my room is. It's just that HAZUKASHII.




I've seen several rooms with these kind of framed pictures on /jp/ and /a/. In my opinion, it looks SO MUCH BETTER than the megami poster cutouts.
Compare:



To
The former just look so much better. If there's one thing "otaku" do wrong, it's usually the fact that they choose quantity over quality.

Panty and stocking Lambdadelta and Bernkastel are OLEV. Haven't made a post about it yet, but you guys like Umineko, yeah? I've been reading since about when the 4th one got translated by witch hunt. One of the best things I've ever read.


Episode 7: Requiem of the Golden Witch
  • Translation: 15% Editing: 12%.

Anime was shit, but whatever. Can't expect much out of a VN to anime adaption, just like Tsukihime (in during no tsukihime anime). I don't think any VN has been done right. Except maybe Clannad.

DOTD 3



What it looks like when i actually try to draw! Started this for a online friends birthday about 5 hours ago, haven't been drawing constantly though. I don't normally have the patience to do this. Still not done, so I'll post the real version sometime later. For some reason I thought it would be super moe to see Suika sleeping outside the front of Reimu's shrine like this~ I'll erase reimu later, maybe redraw her, but i just felt like something was missing in the picture. Yeah, my hands are still pretty bad regardless, but at least it's not at bad as Ryukishi07's higurashi hands.

Edit: Just did this a few minutes ago~

Halloween!

It's getting close to that time again. Although I don't go trick or treating anymore it's a really nostalgic time for me. I mean, who didn't love being a kid and getting free candy? I've been wanting to carve a pumpkin lately.
But I'm too lazy, so I just take it easy. Been thinking of either doing something likes these or maybe a Beato pumpkin. It's not as fun as it used to be though. Getting too old for this kind of thing.
I think I'll just spend the day with my vampire waifu.

Life is always better with shoujo

Been reading a manga called love monster recently, distracted me from doing stuff on blogger. IT'S TOO GOOD. Yes, I like shoujo manga. Deal with it.

WHY CAN'T MY HAIR BE THIS FABULOUS?

don't you ever think that when reading shoujo manga? I mean, ALL THE MALES ARE SO FABULOUS. Why can't I get my hair to do that? Seriously, i look in the mirror sometimes and i despair knowing I'll never be as fabulous as men in shoujo manga. No but seriously, I'm not a big manga reader person, especially reading online, but Love monster is great.


Pic related, My face when reading shoujo manga.

Some of my followers blog links aren't showing up, if you are one of those please post in the comment section and I'll be sure to check your blog out if that's the case.

Very stressful day today. Not enough sleep and other things. I don't really feel like making a new meaningful post at the moment, sorry guys. I'll get better! Fighting! Random Sakuya picture because, well. I just found it to be cute.

Mahjong!

So, do any of you play Mahjong? Occasionally I play on Tenhou against others. What's Mahjong? Well, to be honest you could call it Chinese weeaboo dominoes. It is a very popular tile game in Japan though. It's not too hard when you know the rules. Theres a really great guide for rules on the game here:  http://www.mediafire.com/?nundktgdonn
You can also reference the wikipedia page on all the japanese yaku:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_Mahjong_yaku

You can practice here against other Japanese people: http://tenhou.net/0/
Don't feel bad if you do terrible at first, it's not like they can say anything bad to you anyway. I actually had a beginner winning streak when I first started and then I was terrible for the longest time.

I actually learned how to play after watching an anime called Saki. If you enjoy cute girls doing cute things and mahjong as well, you'll absolutely love this anime. I didn't know the rules at all when i saw it, but it makes more sense now. An anime definitely worth your time.



I'm not super great, but just tell me if you ever want to play! Only Yakuman I've gotten would be little winds.   Might have been able to go for big winds, but whatever!


This week I'll probably do an in depth tutorial on all the moon runes (japanese) in the game and what they mean!

Vietnamese Sandwiches

So a couple days ago, I found this Vietnamese sandwich shop about ~30 minutes away from my house. Even though it's that far, I found it to be worth it. There were tons of Vietnamese sandwich shops where i used to live, so I was missing the taste. What makes Vietnamese sandwiches different than normal sandwiches, you say?
LOOK AT THAT, IT IS DELICIOUS. Just a sandwich with more vegetables in it, but it's great. (and cheap). Well not as cheap here, if you live in California though, it's common to see these in certain areas along with froyo (frozen yogurt) places and Tapioca drink shops.

It sounds weird if you haven't tried it, but Avocado smoothies are the best things ever. I highly reccomend them, despite how weird it sounds. I never get a positive reaction when i tell someone about avacado smoothies. Ever.
It's delicious though! I'm so deprived here. All the Vietnamese and good Asian food is so far away ;_; I find it funny, everyone I knew back home was Asian, and you go farther into the middle of the US and they all disappear.  During history class instead of Asians they call them "oritentals". I stifled my laughter hard. You don't see any black people here either. I think I've seen about 5 black people and I've been here around 4 months.

Anyway, I'm sorry but if your going to try tapioca drinks, Strawberry is probably the worst choice. I love normal strawberries, don't get me wrong, but strawberry boba is gross.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent

http://twowho.blogspot.com/ has convinced me to write a post about:

This. This is a scary game. So scary, I've wanted to play it myself, but I've ended up watching livestreams from /v/ and prerecorded ones on youtube as well as having one of my friends play it for me. (I'm too chicken.) So, I've probably seen the first half of this game a good ~4 times. I've been scared every single time, although I do know when the monster comes out now and what to do, so I suppose it wouldn't be too hard to play it on my own. I've stayed up until almost 3AM on a school night because I was too afraid to sleep and whenever I entered a new room in my house I checked the closets to make sure the monster wasn't in there before i closed the door. Ridiculously unnecessary when you think about it, I know. This is just the greatest survival horror game I've ever seen.

DOTD 2

Well more like "drawings" of the day. I'm such a terrible artist! Not caring at all about anatomy and what i draw ;_; No sketch looking thing takes me more than 20~30 minutes normally.

Imoutos, etc.

I CAN RELATE TO THIS IMOUTO! Then again, I can relate to this one too:

So many great Imoutos this season! Let's not forget Mikan from Love-to-ru as well, although I'm not watching it.

Impressions of anime so far:

Yosuga no Sora:
It's kind of cute! The Imouto at least. I felt bad for her 90% of the time I was watching it. She refuses to go to school and stays home alone while her brother goes. and of course, EVERY SINGLE GIRL IN THIS SHOW IS IN LOVE WITH THE BROTHER. I DON'T UNDERSTAND. HOLY SHIT BLUSHING EVERYWHERE. TEEHEEE. NO. Automatically in love. It's just the way it has to be. That was probably what made watching this show so dumb. I've seen this before, you just added incest. They left off on a pretty big cliff hanger though, so i'll probably end up watching the next episodes. This series probably let me down the most ALONG WITH

Star driver:

I don't even want to start on this show. HOW MUCH MORE GENERIC MECH CAN YOU GET? YOU CAN'T. IT'S LIKE YOU TOOK THE WORSE ASPECTS OF A GENERIC MECH SHOW AND THREW IT IN ONE. Sorry for the caps. Does anyone remember kurogane no linebarrels? It's exactly like that. I couldn't stand that, and I definitely can't stand this. It really isn't my kind of anime. Also, the screen cap. It looks like I'm watching long necks: the anime.

The world only god knows:
I don't know how much more fabulous you can get. This show REALLY exceeded my expectations. It was funny, the art style was great, the characters were likable. I had only read ~2 chapters of the manga, but after watching this episode, I'm encouraged to just take time out of my schedule (lolwhatschedule) and read the manga. I recommend this, even if you haven't read the manga!
 Dweeb >>> Pretty galactic boy.

Ore Imouto:
CHECK OUT THAT COLLECTION. SHE EVEN HAS SCHOOL, CROSS AND SUMMER DAYS. Probably one of, if not the greatest imouto ever. I'll be keeping up with this show! I read the first chapters of the light novel and manga. Pretty good anime adaption. Can't wait for the rest!


I still plan on watching bakuman and maybe some other things this season and giving them a try.

Daily Life


Just posting a rant really quick. It's kind of hard to write about stuff on blogger sometimes. I don't really know what to write about. I've seen it as a topic on a blog post before I think, but it's really hard to blog when you do nothing all day. Literally nothing all day. It's kind of depressing. I moved to the middle of no where (middle of US) recently. I'm actually from San Fransisco, so this is totally new to me and I don't like it at all. I only realized how unsocial I actually was when I moved out here. I had friends I had known since elementary school who always accepted me and that I talked to most of the time. I've been here for about 4 months now and I still don't really know people.

 It's pretty lonely. I never understood 4chan's in general problem with making friends. It's a lot harder than it looks. I still have online friends though, which make up for a lot of my grief. It's almost hard to talk to people when you don't do "normal" things, like watch TV. Despite that, I've actually made an effort to talk to others. Sometimes I ask myself why I even bother. To appear "normal"? My parents have hinted at me a couple times that they want me to be more "normal". They think I'm going through a stage, but at this point, I really don't think I can stop from loving my chinese cartoons and video games.

On a side note, it started raining outside. Reminds me of home, and I like the rain so I'm kind of happy. It's peaceful.

FLY AWAY NOW


I'm sorry, but if this doesn't convince you to watch Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, I don't know what will. It's just pure fun.
