Not much to clog the internet with, being lazy and putting off working on Thrash Fortress, playing some Kane's Wrath, Red Alert 3's on the waiting shelf, pretty much conquered all the challenges dwarf fortress currently provides in this version, and no online game recommendations from anyone that doesn't require a subscription, oh and uni in a about a week. SOOOOOOOO, here, have some music recommendations to pass some time, songs that I had on repeat for some time. From youtube, click on them to follow links and what not for credits et cetera.
Nana Mizuki - Shin Ai
Didn't take notice of her until I heard this song, OP of white album. If singles and roles are anything to judge by, she's quite a successful singer/VA.
GReeeeN - Kiseki
Heard this one on TV, was used as the theme of Tohoku Travel Blog, one of those TVB travel shows, going around Japan, there seems to be a flood of them lately. Then later found who it is by on the Oricon Charts, on youtube as well. Wiki.theppn needs to get back online soon. |:
Norazo - Superman
Heard on Pops in Seoul, hilarious. Especially when viewed with the video. Now if only we get Hey! Hey! Hey! and Music Fighter on TVBJ, that'd save me shitloads of bandwidth. Used to have some sort of music show on the Japanese channel but they axed that. Also, why are the majority of female korean singers SO ANNOYING?
Perfume - Electro World
Think I heard this one from kawaii-radio.net, quite good for picking up different music. Anyways, their songs, electronic I guess it'd be, a nice break from what I usually listen to.
The post that I had been putting off since last yeaaaaaaaaaar.
So there's 3 cats left in the house now. One's an fully grown gray cat, simply named "Gray", how original. He likes to drink from the fish jar and make weird noises, as well as sit on your legs.
Another gray kitten, named "Candy", you can blame my sister for that. She likes to harass people when they're sleeping and ignore them when they're awake.
She also likes to attack the new kitten in the house, named "Bo", literally translated as "Treasure", however the hell that makes sense. She likes to bite toes and hide in tiny spaces. The rest have been ... "relocated".
Still no job, still sitting at home like a hobo. Picked up the sims and dwarf fortress, but unfortunately for the sims, I figured out how to play dwarf fortress first and never got around to sims. I also have an abundance of cheesecakes but a lack of pies and other edible meats. AND THAT'S TERRIBLE.
Finished watching Kannagi, it's left with an open ending since the manga is nowhere near the end, so it wasn't a very satisfying tone, but the process was great, probably because they used the source material. By A-1 Pictures, a relatively new group with not much under its belt. Above: Nagi and beans.
Ef: A Tale of MERRI KURISUMASU, ended on quite an excellent tone, probably because it actually had an ending; would recommend you watch the first season before going onto the second though. I used to say that all eroges that turned into anime is bound to be shit, but I'll have to edit that statement now. All eroges that either have no story to begin with or is directed and made in a shit studio is shit. Shaft obviously knows what to do.
Above: The Force
Another great piece of work by Shaft, Goku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei; if only they would make a complete third season instead of just three OVAs. Somebody fund it.
Above: ZETSUBOU SHITA.
Toaru Majutsu no Index is awesome. The new years' break is excruiciating. Few more days until the next episode. There's around one major scene every three episodes, with two for build up, except in the latest biribiri arc but it's alright. Apparently it follows the novel quite tightly so kudos to J.C. Staff; feels a bit like their other work, Shakugan no Shana, first season of course.
Above: Index; nom nom nom.
Chaos;Head, finished airing already, just getting around to watch it now. Original story is by Nitro+ so it has to be awesome. And so far in, 3 episodes, it's pretty awesome. Madhouse (Death Note, Claymore, Nana etc) worked on this one.
Above: Our most trusted source of scholarly information
Other finished and recommendable stuff: Kamen no Maid (Madhouse) guy but only for Maid Guy; Kyouran Kazoku Nikki (Nomad; Rozen Maiden and Sola) for the entire series; Hidamari Sketch x 365 (Shaft) and the first season too because Yuno is love; SKY GIRLS DYNAMITE FISHING (J.C. Staff), even though it's a dvd bonus instead of the actual show, but the show's somewhat okay too.
Above: YUNOCCHI!
Other stuff that still haven't finished or I haven't finished watching but still recommendable, Toradora! (J.C. Staff) and their airport, Kuroshitsuji (A-1 Pictures) and their butler, Zettai Karen Children (SynergySP; Hayate no Gotoku) and their psychic squirrel.
Above: Thar be Taigas.
Stuff that I haven't started watching but have lying around and might eventually get around to, Nodame Cantabile, Ga-Rei Zero, White Album, Minami-ke Okaeri, Clannad, Clannad After Story, Vampire Knight Guilty, Strike Witches, Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu, True Tears, Kemeko DX, and Kyou no Go no Ni.
Feel free to make some recommendations to me. |:

And oblige I shall. Uni's over for the year, exams were somewhat okay, not going anywhere, looking for a job, stringing on sentences, and so on and so forth.
Well, shit, I'm sure I had something to say but now I don't recall a god damn thing, oh wow.
Eh, since I've nothing better to say, go watch Toradora, Kannagi and Ef: A tale of Melodies, kthxbai. B.S.L.
When it's free, take it. When it's not nailed down, take it and run!
Mid semester break. IT'S JUST A TEASER. Where's the bloody "mid"? It's nearly the freaking end. And before I forget, note to self:
Essay assignment - write shit, do it now. Frog website assignment - find something to do. Human Resources assignment - start writing shit already, look up ads et cetera. Card game assignment - write up report. Board game assignment - harass people to test it and stuff.
Also, write and make crap. Also, get a job.
Now that that's out of the way. Let us proceed. RECENT EVENTS. Hmm. Well, there was that birthday of that person. Yes, you know, that one. Wait, now that I think about it, I don't think I even said happy birthday on the day. Well, here you go, I know you'll be reading this shaking your fist angrily at me while sneaking up behind me with a hunting knife preparing to horribly mutilate my body but before you do that, happy birthday!
And, uh, yeah. Went to a charcoal Korean barbecue place thing. I don't know what was so Korean about it. The food was okay, but then, anything that's burnt meat would be okay. The prices were terribly high. It reminded me of that buffet place at Mong Kok that I blogged about quite a few months ago. Except it's not all you can eat thus I was not full at all. Nyoro~n.
Then there was karaoke. I'M SO SICK OF PEOPLE SINGING ABOUT HOW THEY'RE SICK OF LOVE SONGS, AND LOVE SONGS. I was seriously going to fall asleep there, and no don't blame the alcohol, I didn't drink any more after getting there. Though I probably should have. If not for the pleasant screaming of our dear friend in the corner I really might have drifted off. But then again, it's nice to see everyone singing, even if it's just going "oh oh oh oh" It could've been more interesting. Didn't know many songs on the list either, took a while to find that one I sung. Still, would've loved to go with the Death Note theme song, they had most of the Bleach ones, so why the hell not Death Note?
It was nice seeing people again, especially ones that I know, I was starting to go insane being cramped up inside this house. Didn't recognize a couple when I first saw them. Now that I think about it, I could've just used names throughout this blog, but then again, if you know who I am talking about, you'd know, and if you don't, it won't help even if there are names. Unless you want to stalk them. Then feel free to ask me!
Oh and FYI, I had a crap score for my song, *bows et cetera*.
Despite all of the above, I actually quite enjoyed the day, and would go again, if nothing else then for the free alcohol. I'm sure there'd be some, there are certain unnamed people out there trying to convert me into an alcoholic. Just stating here though, it wouldn't work, I'm too cheap to support that lifestyle. I'd probably invest it in games first.
AND NOW I LOST TRACK OF WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY, SO LET'S JUST END IT HERE. B.S.L.
I ate a cheesecake, and liked it. Seriously, I thought it'd suck or something, going by the name and me not liking cold cheese. Proved me completely wrong. In fact, there's still some in the fridge, might just go eat it. Oh, and subs. Subs with chillies and meat and what not, those are great as well. Not sure where my mum got the idea but glad she did. And baking. She gave that a shot with my sister. The cakes turned out surprisingly well. At least, the ones I got to try. Apparently it was the fifth one by the time I got home. Wonder what happened to the ones before that. There's also the meat patties. The ones my dad made went well. And then there were the... others. Which wound up being a soup like substance, followed by egg fillers. Oh well.
I seriously decided to blog just because of that cheesecake. B.S.L.
