Outside of school and work, Health material collection and maintenance = 1-3 hours dannychoo.com = ~1-2 hour Touhou fansites = 1-2 hours Anime = ~1-2 hours, but varies seasonally (only following Code Geass this summer) Reading on commute = 1-2 hours...
They could conceivably mesh both After Story and Tomoyo After, but it would have to wait to see how they toy with the setting--and how many curs After Story will be.
I'm not much for GONZO produced shows. They tend to focus on a lot of flair, a lot of fanservice, and a lot of easily forgettable story. If it was one or both of the first two, that would be fine, but they try hard to press it into a story--kind of l...
Mm.. the dirtiest public toilet with running water I went to was outside a textiles and plastics vendor exhibition area in a backwater part of Zhejiang province. Every surface was concrete so you can imagine the years of filth and despair that seeped...
I go to Little Tokyo or Japantown depending on if I'm in the Bay Area or down in Los Angeles. Convenient that there's Kinokuniya bookstores in those two places.
In California at least, most supermarket parking lots I've seen seems to have an automated or manned recycling booth that gives you a redeemable coupon for the adjoining supermarket. Most cities I've lived in have recycling bins and pickups for homes...
I drink (quite like drinking, actually) and, thanks to a puff from my dad's cigar when I was a kid, I've smoked. Though I think the cigar is the best kind of deterrent against smoking--like a mouthful of bitterness and ash I can still remember to thi...
Native English speaker here. Know Mandarin thanks to my parents, can understand but not speak Shanghainese (thanks to vintage comedy radio shows I listened to as a kid). I can read and listen to Japanese better than first and some second year Japanes...
Usually you see "lol engrish" moments in Chinese/HK bootlegs, or when you get an English fansub group that translates from another sub that was made in a non-Japanese language. I remember the "mass naked child event" (see AJ sub of a GiTS ep) and "ba...
I agree about the Little Mermaid similarities, though I'd like to see it before I say more. Maybe it decentralizes the role of the "prince charming" during the test.
Burning certain kinds of paper, I can get behind since papers such as newsprint take much bleaching and mixing to recycle--very energy negative compared to using nursery produced wood. Burning plastics, not so much because of the variety of additives...
I usually use landscape pictures I take with my camera. Something comforting that I wouldn't worry about other people seeing. Ringtone is the radio music from Portal.
At my university campus, there is a lot of political graffiti like anti-business or pro-some number of South American revolutionary leaders. Around where I live, graffiti and murals have been used to cover up some old tagged walls, but you still see...
I'm not a rave or concert person. I hate loud noise--even though the trance induced by loud noise/music is a genuine psychological phenomena, I'd like to keep my hearing into old age.
The interface looks a lot like the one in the Zune. >"When I was there, they even had a job title "beat google" - how embarassing" I remember hearing from someone who worked there earlier that during the 90s, the mission statement was "beat Netscape"...
I never got into social networking aside from forums of particular sites or computer game multiplayer lobbies. I find a lot of it time-consuming and not very engaging. Would rather people-watch rather than read text off a screen. I finally got a face...
Pokemon was my gateway anime... If I had been a good boy and read books or played sports instead of watching pokemon and getting into the associated trimmings... wait--if I had never watched Pokemon, I would never have found Haruhi and never would h...
"Diet" drinks generally have something like a sweetener in it that your body can't get any energy out of. Instead, your body consumes energy in order to break down the chemicals in the diet drink, thus making you lose calories however insignificant t...
I can make some Shanghainese versions of and specialties like vegetarian crab, Shanghainese springrolls, dumplings, 粉蒸肉, 紅燒肉, 獅子頭.. well that and some more, but usually only for special occasions. Mostly make food depending on what I have (w...
I've seen the game before. My cousin plays it regularly. He says he plays it because it's a good volleyball game... but every one of his close friends have told me otherwise. Well, it's something to play when you need a break from IdolM@ster, I guess...
