I'm taking the JLPT3 tomorrow with the full intention of failing. I've not made any serious progress in Japanese since June of this year, and because of that, I find it increasingly hard to motivate myself to study (Resulting in a month and a half br...
It's very hard to sum up why I continue to read this site. The reason? It changes as time goes on. At the very beginning, I found this site by looking up information on life in Japan. I got a link from Google to, of all things, the article dealing wi...
I'm loving the features of the new DC.com Puchi blurb refresh is the greatest thing ever. Live blogging is good, and I'm liking the organization options. But, I agree with the general sentiment that the previous layout *looked* a lot better. Also, ad...
I'm completely, 100% embarrassed about having my figures. To the point that if people outside my small group of friends found out, I'd move. I'm bullied fairly constantly about watching anime, and was actually beaten up when people found out I went t...
Excellent pictures, as usual. I wish I could get anything even resembling that quality with my camera. But I suppose the problem isn't the camera, but rather the one holding it =) As for the restaurant, Don't think I have ever spilled anything on peo...
You must not look around enough then. Most (but not all, of course) of this Japanese food can be found in Vancouver if you look hard enough, as well as varying foods from other cultures.
As a PC-user, I do not have many hardware problems. Or software problems, for that sake. My 6-year-old desktop is getting pretty slow, but it's nothing a few small updates won't fix. But the important thing is it's still running and it's still usable...
Overall, I like the plans. I would rather have the blurbs stay as they are instead of integrating with Twitter. Aside from that, I see nothing but good in this.
Wow, Book-off pays that much for games? That's incredible! Here, even if a game is brand new, the most I have ever seen someone get is about $15. The average seems to be anywhere from $2 - $5. I has a book-off somewhat near me, maybe I should see if...
Eh, they sometimes do. On Saturday last year I managed to get a couple, but on Sunday the same people wouldn't sell it to me because I was 16. But I mean, I could just go grab a friend to pick it up for me. It's really kind of easy to get around
(Ignore my lower comment. I'm blind, sometimes) I'll totally probably most likely see you there! 10 days until our wallets can weep together. Ero doujinshi can sometimes be found at AE, too, but it's really kinda rare.
Vancouver has it's own local convention coming up in 10 days now. It'll be in the Vancover Convention Center this year, and won't have to switch venues with 3 weeks to go, so it should be great. They usually don't have eroge. But if they did, I would...
I don't mind the Dolfie posts. However, I think that there may have been a bit too many Dolfie posts lately. There are 4 Dolfie posts linked on the front page right now. Aside from that, I enjoy seeing the effort people put into these things. While I...
I don't know if I will live in Japan. I just can't see myself moving away from my friends and family to go to a place where I know nobody. Perhaps if a waifu or fiancee-u came from Japan, I would. But, right now it looks like it would be very lonely....
Few hundred or not, I can't say I'm a huge fan of that black Widow. Something about the face bothers me. The Kotobukiya Elmina figure is absolutely beautiful, though. Any idea on the price range?
Hehe, sounds like you have a lot under your belt, Danny. Not meaning to discourage at all, but the restaurant alone is a 12 - 16 hours/day affair. I work in one, what the managers/chefs/sous chefs do to run the place is nothing short of amazing. My g...
It's kinda funny. This flu is spreading slower than the normal flu, goes away faster, and is by far less lethal. Why are we all panicing? I say that this swine flu should REPLACE the current flu! It'd make the world a lot better.
[7352] http://www.hlj.com/product/MAX06040 I hope I am not too late. I have a REALLY good feeling about the number, as long as there is no tax. Shisohikari did the same thing as I, methinks. Came up with my number before I saw his/her answer.
Heh, my DREAM job, only 5 years too early. Curses to my young age! Which kinda leads me to a question. Aside from schooling (Which I AM planning on doing in the future), how does one learn those things? Trial and error, I would assume? I mean, I am f...
Heh, this shouldn't be so unfamiliar for science-minded Canadians. It was featured on the show 'Daily Planet' about a year back. Doesn't make it any less awesome, though.
Danny's new(ish? just noticed it now) avatar threw me off for a little while. Didn't realize it was him replying so much! This post gives me the irresistable urge to get up and clean my room. Rather sadly, I have no figures to organize. Just a bunch...
Happy meter is running low as of late. Not that I'm unhappy, really. I'm just middle of the road average. I'm not worried though. University is just around the corner, which means that I can finally start to *actively* pursue what I want to pursue. I...
I'm perfectly fine whenever I skip meals. I've never had a problem skipping breakfast whenever I woke up REALLY late or something. But, I know it's unhealthy. These days, I make a point of eating breakfast every day. If I am about to be late for scho...
Yeah, I came in here to suggest KeyHole as well. The quality isn't too bad considering it's a live stream, and it's usually pretty lag free. Easily worth trying out.
I'd go with the Stormtrooper, myself. As cool as it would be to be Vader, the movement restrictions would probably (literally) kill me. I fall down enough without anything restricting me, I can only imagine how bad I would be if something was.
The sad part about this, is that the changes needed to make it lifelike aren't even huge changes. They put this out too early. Even a month more of hard work would have made a huge difference. The eyes, for example. They half blink, but only while sh...
This post explains exactly why I stick to Windows or Linux, and why I will never switch to mac. The Mac BSOD happens a few times a month? Last time I got a BSOD on Windows (Excluding the crappy computers at my school, which BSOD every 5 minutes) was...
