I am fairly otaku... Nothing that will leave anyone in awe. Like most high school otaku, I want... stuff... but I happen to be broke, or have parent-item restrictions. Anime is good, but I don't do Shonen Jump.
Melon PanI've had this one before (never had fresh). Buy two and then toast one of them, so that the top is slightly browned and hard. Then try them both to see which one you like. This brand has this certain condensation problem though, since the manufacture...
Shabu ShabuMK's sukiyaki, in Thailand, is a merger of Shabu Shabu and traditional chinese hotpot, as opposed to Japanese sukiyaki. Why it's still called sukiyaki, remains a mystery to me.
Shishido AkihaYes, it's an awesome series past like episode 5 (and 9, stupid fillers), so keep on watching. As for the figure itself. The concept is interesting, I haven't seen eyes like that painted on a figurine before, it's an interesting concept. I like it tho...
Hong Kong Otaku"In Seattle, all we had were a few shops in the International District which sold stuff for more than double the retail price in Japan."
I Can confirm this statement, except for in Uwajimiya's Kinokuniya, where some of the stuff "including J-POP CDs...
11 Year Old College GraduateI could think of worse ways to waste time. Also, what if no one played video games? The lack of consumers in that market would crash the video game industry. I mean, it's good to use his skills and try to better humanity, which is probably why he got...
100 Yen LaptopsThat's not a bad deal, considering that it's still $100 if you take out a 3g contract with AT&T for a 3g netbook. Or something like that. 100 yen is Bargain! Unless the yen's gotten much stronger than I last checked.
DakimakuraIn where I live, people all fold their scarves all weird and knottedly, I'm glad to see someone else can appreciate the simplicity of simply wrapping yourself with a scarf than trying to entire a scarf tying contest every-time they leave the home.
20090110 Giveaway - Kodansha InternationalYay! I already have a copy of yokai attack, unfortunately, for most of the yokai the countermeasures are lacking, or they aren't very good. Mostly "you're doomed if you meet one", or something. I only read up to Mukou Ren (Jigoku Shoujo, I didn't eve...
7pm in Tokyo - CurryAll I've ever had was those instant curry packets where you poil the entire package in hot water for 5 minutes and them pour it over beef or croquette that's next to rice. The consistency is perfect though. The one in your picture looks a bit watery-...
Saber LilyI was only gonna shell out for the limited edition if it was a PVC figurine, but apparently it's a figma. Then again it's Good Smile. I'll probably end up getting the regular.
Shopping in JapanYay! Fortune Arterial! Curiously, that is a lot of goods to bring back for one airline trip, and there seems to be four (4) Hatsune Miku Nendoroids, are they all the same, 0_o?
Singaporean FoodAwesome! But... the best thing I ever tried there (when I took a trip there 2 years ago) was the "Nasi Lemak", which I'm pretty sure was what they called the one that was wrapped in the banana leaf... but afaik, anything that begins or ends with Nasi...
Ninja Fest 3Lol, I thought that was an embedded flash player, lol. I spent like 2 minutes trying to get it to work. But then I right clicked to try and see. No Flash PLayer options, I should've just realized that it was starting at 21 seconds (not possible), tho...
Leopard on PCMy sources say, that that is just a refitted MSI Wind, that's been modded to run OSX. I think it was liliputing.com, but I'm waay too lazy to check...
Japanese HousingJapan gets some pretty fast internet... Comcast, for 40ish $ doesn't even get me 10% of that... I heard Verizon FiOS has it better but, I doubt that it'll get even close to that... Anyways, they advertise for 12Mbps download.
Japanese InternetI was just learning about the Competitive Exclusion Principle, at school. It will probably apply here, for you see... Basically it states that two [species] that share the same [niche], and have the same requirements, cannot possibly co-exist. And si...
Japanese Men CookLOLCATs!
Anyways, nice... I just realized that Milk in Thai IS (essentially) Oppai! (My family is Thai, and I haven't noticed that)
Spam is expensive, so I wouldn't do that. But my one pride and joy of cooking, is that I have a stir fried noodle,...
Your BookmarksFor me, everything goes on Firefox. RSS feeds and syndications get sent in as Live bookmarks, but even for the stuff that I rarely check but I might be bound to needing some day also get sent in there, but every now and then I do go in and organize i...
Figma and NendoroidOMG!!! Makoto-chan!!!! I want to buy one, but I only want Makoto chan, and they're in those little boxes so like gatchapon, you nevar know what you're gonna get T_T, and it's always more expensive online.... I'm gonna ask my gatchapon clerk if I can...
Tokyo StabbingsI live in a safe neighborhood. But at school, I'm friends with a fellow otaku named "Tomohiro Sato" (as opposed to Tomohiro Kato). I guess it's a common name, but I still hope that it's simply a coincidence 0_o... He can't drive yet, so that's a reli...
