I finished doing all there is to do at Disneyland (whatever humanly possible ;p) but won’t return home until next week. For I will be going to FanimeCon 2008. Where I will once again be surrounded by otaku, but this time I won’t be working at the convention so I will get to enjoy myself lol. I’ll buy more stuff (my poor bag is already stuffed with stuff ;-;) and take more pics that I will upload next week to show everyone. So until then, I’ll see you around ^^.

I so want that coffee table lol. Not only can you put your drinks on it but you can store stuff in it and best of all it’s a gigantic NES controller that works lol. The guy who made it has got to be one of the biggest gaming fans ever ^^, to put your love into the form of a gigantic working controller is sweet. You can find the blog of the man who made this awesome device here. There are other posts at the end of the link that show how he made the controller from scratch. Now only if he would make a giant ps2 controller then I might be interested in making one lol, with rumble of course ;p. A gigantic wii controller and nunchuck might be a bit much ^^;;;.
I’m really into lolita if you couldn’t guess by my most recent post ;p
I know its been a while since I last posted ^^;;. I’ve been busy with school, work, life (big change in life, a very positive one ^^) and the blog has been last to do, especially with finals coming up. So I’m happy to have time to share pictures of my loot from Kawaii Kon. I think I’m going to buy art and maybe a figure from now on :P. I’m not really interested in pencilboards, dvds, towels, hug pillows (yes, there were hug pillows this year xD), doujin (I bet many of you thought I would buy some ^^;;), etc. I like art, the way you still get to see your favorite character but drawn in a way that makes them distinct but recognizable. Figures are awesome, 3D representations of your favorite characters to admire on your desk or shelf and (click if you dare) hopefully thats it >.<.
We had something different this year at the convention, a Lolita Fashion Show if you couldn’t tell xD. I thought it went really well and it was great in my opinion. The girls were cute and so were their outfits. I personally don’t know much about lolita even though I really like the dresses:P, so I was a big surprise to me to learn about all the different styles of lolita. Hopefully they come back next year, I really enjoyed it ^^. Read on for a picture intensive post and something nice at the end ^^;.
Imagine walking down the street on the way home when a crazy zombie starts coming at you with a mallet, what will you do? Shoot English at it of course xD. That’s what you do in the new Nintendo DS game “English of the Dead.” Using your stylus, you write words that you read in Japanese into English on the lower screen the POW, you kicked some zombie butt. This is a interesting game thats being sold by Sega lol, what better way to learn something than through a game and I’m not talking about Cooking Mama ^^. This is a great way for Japanese to learn how to write English words and memorize them as well in my opinion. You get to play a game where you kill zombies with words, how messed up is that but it’s also pure genius at the same time xD. Now if they do the reverse and make you read English and you have to write Japanese then they might have a market in English speaking countries, I know I wouldn’t mind getting one ^^. Would you want to buy one?
No, you’re not learning about yaoi lol ;p
Since a lot of you like the attachments for Firefox that I told you about, I thought I would share more with you. Just like the Japanese Rikai-chan, there’s also a Chinese version that translates the kanji into the Chinese translation rather than Japanese. Here’s a site called Visualizing Japanese Grammar, that is a website designed to help you learn Japanese grammar through visual pictures rather than just words, this should help those who learn better visually. Ever wanted to know about all those Japanese words that frequently pop up in anime? Check out Japanese words of anime fans, by anime fans, for anime fans. I’ll keep you updated when I find more awesome stuff like this ^^.
