Cycling in TokyoI don't commute, although I do ride my bicycle (originally a junker, now converted into a fixie, aka singlespeed/fixed gear) for like 3-5 hours during the weekend (around 1-1 1/2 hours during the morning in the daytime if the weather is good) or if I...
Series with Horrible EndingThe ending of Nanaka 6/17. (good series, too bad the ending was kinda meh... wished it had a extra 13 eps., I hated Arashiyama's sister) And Divergence Eve, ending just went off with a "sweet holy hell, what happened?!" (Misaki Chronicles was a bette...
Bicycles in JapanBiking is one of my fave pastimes. That reminds me... gotta get the front and rear wheels replaced on my 3rd bicycle (singlespeed, which I bought at a garage sale for 5 bucks CDN, no joke. Had the seat and fenders replaced) which I'm already digging...
Macross Nyan Nyan SetUmmmmm... no thanks. (and I thought blowing half my recent paychecks in August on getting my bicycle fixed and groceries was overkill... yeah >.<)
Dollfie LouiseThat Louise/Zero Dollfie looks nice. Then again, the price tag is murder for my paycheck (anime DVDs, groceries, bills and bike gear are as far as I can spend).
RoboGeishaOoooookkkkkaaaaaayyyyy... what the hell was that?
I dunno what's worse, 95% of movie trailers made by Hollywood (IMO) or this. I guess Robogeisha takes the cake for that one :S
Are Anime DVDs Worth ItI work full-time... so yeah a fraction of my pay is aimed towards anime DVDs. I also recently got into buying complete series/Anime Legends/2-disc sets (mostly Funimation and Bandai) which saved me a lot and DVD space.
I do borrow and burn fansubs o...
Taiwan Otaku ShoppingOtaku goodies in Montreal?! Probably not... unless if it's at a anime convention. And the Chinatown in my hometown is chock full of posters (KO and some pretty nice ones too), models, cell charms/keychains, playing card decks and KO anime/J-pop CDs/D...
Otaku EncyclopediaNice to see Danny get two mentions in this book. Hopefully I'll buy it when it hits the anime shop I frequent... (or at a anime convention)
Japanese Toilet EtiquetteWow... just wow. I LOL'd literally at the 10% who take a whizz by lying down.
Seriously, who the hell would take a leak while lying down?
A Day in Tokyo 4Dad's car is a '90 Civic DX hatchback, recently got a '96 Mazda 323 Protege a few weeks ago. (I don't drive)
Love the Dollfie and lunch pics by the way.
NHKSo that's what it looks like in the NHK studio, not to mention its own cafeteria and pharmacy... nice.
Speaking of studios, only TV station I've visited is CTV Montreal back in the late 80s (around '89).
A Week in Tokyo 37I didn't want to spend a couple hundred bucks for a grad suit or limo. And I didn't bother going to prom night as well.
But the pasta and ramen sounds good.
Counterfeit Goods in JapanGot a few Miya and Allion anime CDs here and there, including a few bootleg anime DVDs. (stopped buying them like 4 years ago, last CD I bought was in '07 and it was the Fafner: Right of Left OST. Then again, thank God for those Anime Legends/Complet...
A Day in Tokyo 3Looks sorta like a 2010 Chevy Camaro (I do prefer the Dodge Challenger though). Other than that, the GT-R is a beauty. (bummer the pricetag is a ridiculous 100K O.o)
Japan Train CommuteListen to music or change wallpapers on my iPod Touch (which I bought recently) on the way to work/back home and going out to do errands. (helps me get away from them billboards and advertisments)
