Kurenai

Kurenai

Angry loli’s don’t make very good house guests ;p.

Nothing like coming home after a busy week of school and work, even if it is “underground work.” But to come home and find out that you could be a bodyguard for a loli must be nerve wracking considering everything else you must do. But Shinkuro was up to the task, not only to prove himself to Benika but to himself as well.

Otaku News Part 1

The picture above has almost no connection to what I’m going to talk about, I just thought it looked funny xD.

I’m sure many of you know that some crazy stuff has been happening in the world of otaku as of late. But I wonder if you’re up to date with some of the other interesting stuff that’s been happening in Akihabara as of late?

Japan Loot 2008

Japan loot 2008

Wish I could have bought more xD

Any otaku that goes to Japan needs to head over to Akihabara (if you’re in the Tokyo area that is :P) and that is exactly what me and my brother did when we visited Tokyo. The streets were crawling with otaku, more male than female :P. Stores rising to the sky with floors of otaku goods that range from trading cards to ero pc games :P. I visited all of them ^^, for research purposes only :P. Some building were dedicated entirely to arcade games/photo booths/UFO Crane Catchers. It’s a place every otaku should visit once in their life, maybe twice if you want to score some limited edition stuff :P.

AS in Tokyo

Haha, I won’t ever get a chance to post anime reviews with trips like this :P. So I’m in Tokyo right now and will be spending the time here going to Akiba and going to different tourist spots in the Eastern Japan. So I’ll see you in a few days :P. Any suggestions to where I should visit while I’m here? I’m using the JR EAST railway just to let you know ^^.

Edit: In case any of you were wondering I am ok.  There was an incident in Akihabara today (Sunday) that did not end well; I was there for the aftermath of the incident.  I just heard what had happened on the news, very sad.

Disneyland 08

Disney 08

Look closely at the picture and you will know why I made it the way it is ;p.

Disneyland was pretty fun, for I was able to hang out with my girlfriend the whole time ^^. We were able to go on practically all the rides that were up in both Disneyland and California Adventure Park (part of Disneyland). Some of the rides like Screamin’ (best at night ^^), Grizzly River Run (good during the day when you can dry off after the ride), Indiana Jones Adventure (anytime), and Space Mountain (anytime) were so much fun that we went on each ride at least six times xD. We were able to get fast passes to each so we stood in line for each ride between 10-30 minutes (usually in between), compared to the usual wait time of 30 minutes to an hour (2 hours for Grizzly O_O). The food was good, but expensive, it is Disneyland after all xD. The shows were pretty good, I liked Aladdin, the fireworks show, and Fantasmic.
