The story is a bit iffy, and it is a GONZO thing, so I'm a bit worried about it. The cast isn't all the bad...but it IS GONZO. The thing I have against this already, is the 3D tiles. ==" It's too over the top imo. Plus, knowing these people, it'll get out of hand, become ridiculous and ruin the fun. I could be wrong though.

After losing their mother, Alphonse and Edward Elric attempt to bring her back using the forbidden science of human alchemy. However, alchemy operates on the theory of equivalent trade, and breaking the human alchemy taboo carries a heavy price. Ed loses his leg, and Al loses his body. Ed is able to seal Al's soul inside of a huge suit of armor, at the cost of his arm. Years later, Ed (now with two mechanical limbs) and Al (still trapped in the armor) leave their childhood home, each brother concerned with the other's happiness. Ed, who has a natural talent and skill for alchemy, becomes nationally certified and is soon known everywhere as the "Fullmetal Alchemist." Their true objective is to search for any information on the fabled Philosopher's Stone, hoping it will allow them to regain their old bodies. All of their hopes rest with this mythical stone, which may not even exist at all. However, the brothers soon learn that they are not the only ones after the powerful stone.

Alrighty, so here's another weekly feature of Vocaloid! This time around, it's Luka and Gackupoid singing a very cute (Tsundere), and modern song (google xD). Anyways, the song's not bad, and Luka's just too cute in this. Gackupoid is a clown as always, and Tako-Luka even makes a brief appearance. xD Happy listening!

Yeah. Just got my wisdom teeth taken out. General An aesthetics for me. Before I went out, the doctor asked if I had any questions, and the first question I asked was "I'm on ECG right?". He laughed a bit, and was like "yes, the beeping thing in the back".
Anyways, after the thing, the nurse wanted to help me walk to the recovery room, but, I, for some reason, had perfect balance. I wasn't too light headed, groggy or off balance, which really surprised me. Changing the gauze isn't fun though. Saliva (which can't be spit out) mixes with the blood, and it looks like you're bleeding your guts out. And then you have the gauze itself which is drenched in blood, which doesn't help either.
Anyways, for the lulz, IS THIS REAL LIFE?! mmmmmmmMMMMMMDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Ah yes, one of the most popular anime series on most anime forums. After not watching it when it began (my mistake D:), I just recently started it. I have to say, even as a 9 year old, Nanoha isn't that bad. Now before you start labeling me as a lolicon/pedo, I'm talking about the series, not the character. I rather prefer Nanoha and Fate as 20-something year olds. Anyways, I powered through seasons 1 & 2 (A's) in 4 days, and I'm working on season 3 (strikerS) at the moment. I'm hoping for a season 4, since a new manga series was recently launched. A possible reason for MSLN's success can be summed up in a single equation by Nanochan (Nanoha imageboard).
Anyways, I'm getting wisdom teeth removed today, so I'll be relying on 00 Gundam, and Nanoha to get through my painful ordeal. I think I'll watch Monoke too.

Well to start things off, Happy St. Patrick's Day! Hope y'all had three kegs o'beer and puked your guts out you sonuvab-
Anyways, today was funktastic. Went with 蛋撻 and 蘿蔔糕 from my family's restaurant, to Richmond Center (not much of a walk), and from there we went to Aberdeen Center, making stops at Lansdowne Center and a Wendy's. Yes, Wendy's. We spotted the rare beast on our travels to Hong K- Aberdeen Center. Got a Frosty there. Twas delectable.
At Aberdeen, we walked around, and looked at all the funky stuff Asia has to offer. I think the "block of wood" deserves a place in my room. Too bad it costs an arm and a leg, minus the toes and fingers. We went and found a store that was pretty much a large center for imports from Japan. Gashapon and stuff. Costed a fortune. $2 for 1 Tokken, $4 for 2. Plus the other merchandise in the store was bloody expensive. $21 for a small rubbery plushie of Nishin instant noodles (large size). After oogling at Japanese merchandise, we proceeded to get bubble tea from the food court thingy. Gress Jelly with Extra Gress Jelly. No, it is not a typo. The sign at the till spelt it as "gress" too. And yes, it's a typo on their part. Anyways, went to the arcade to watch 蛋撻 play Guitar Freaks and Drum-whatever. Didn't leave til 6. Played Phantasy Star on the way back and played some more at 蘿蔔糕's.
00 Gundam 1/100 Gunpla GET!

Just watched it yesterday with the usual crew, plus Christ, Nalin, Henry and Tony. It was a bit confusing...okay so it was confusing until the end. Probably should read the book to grasp the ideas of The Watchmen. I wanted to get a gunpla, but by the time the movie finished, the mall was pretty much closing up.
Went back to the base (蘿蔔糕's house), and then hindu-packed Tony's car and went to the usual Japanese restaurant for dinner.

I love this song. xD It's so cute, and sounds like it'd fit in an anime as an ED theme. The PV's animation is love too. The fact that it's Luka makes it that much more loveable too. Kitty hat ftw.

Quite the chapter, I must say. Haruna-Alter might not be so bad. Rito doesn't have a sadist in his harem as of late...I guess Run is the ero-kawaii...

Alrighty, so I can't remember whether or not I put my Flag up on ze blog, and I didn't see a Gundam tag in my collection, so I threw it in with my recently completed Red Frame 1/100.
Flag: My first kick at the can for 1/100 models. I don't really like it's flight mode, so I keep it in bipedal form. It's a bit hard to pose without an action stand, since it's feet aren't very moveable. It looks awesome anyways.
Red Frame: I love this model. The Gerbera Straight can't be beat by any other melee weapon on a Gundam. Extremely poseable (maybe too much, more later), and looks absolutely awesome.
Sadly, while trying to pose the Red Frame, his arm broke, which was immediately mended with modeling glue...though it's not gonna be the same. sad face.
Graham's Union Flag Custom (a sexy jet black) 1/100
Guile Low's RED ASTRAY FRAME 1/100
The 1/100 beside the 1/144. The size difference is scary isn't it?

Alrighty, so this happened on Friday, but I was engrossed in playing Phantasy Star: Portable, so I didn't put this up. It might end up taking over After School Antics.
Hokay, so after school on Friday, we went to 蘿蔔糕's place (along with Christ, John, Nalin, Pedo, 蛋撻, Keith, Allan, Darren, and Sam who came much later) for Christ's boxing show. It, in essence, was friendly competition to not only vent stress, but to put bitter feelings (mainly towards Allan) out. Anyways, it started out...well to sum it up, boring. We were out front, and Allan didn't want people to see him, so he would wait for people to pass by before starting anything. Once things got started, he was defeated time and time again. The highlight was that he tripped on Christ, who in turn tripped on Allan.
The second bout was Christ and John. This was a rather uneventful, until John pulled off that one moved the put Christ out of commission for a while. While down on a knee, John pull a windmill punch, catching Christ in the "soft spot". Caught on film, and not allowed to be up.
There were a bunch of bouts after this, and all while I watched from the confort of inside 蘿蔔糕's house. I would've been out there, but I lent John my shoes since he came in sports sandals (who knows why).
Anyways, once Sam came, the bouts got slightly more interesting. Sam's quick on his feet, and knows basics of fighting. He looked pretty damn cool with his blocks, spins and punches. To end the bouts, he delivered a fatal upper cut to John. Okay, so it wasn't fatal, but it caused a minor injury. One of the few. Most injuries were actually swelling, which resulted in a little bruising.
Anyways, John is a dangerous driver. Never get in the same car, or near his car.

Alrighty, so this is the first of the updates. I'm starting from the most recent, and then moving backwards, to the Friday. Playing Phantasy Star Portable too much. Image somewhat related minus the area of injury.
This one'll be short.
Was doing a law project, filming a drug related PSA on smoking, and was to rendezvous at Tehcumseh elementary. It's about...3km from my house. Normally, that wouldn't be all that bad, but I strained my hip the day before, making it rather painful to walk. I really didn't want to opt out of this, so I did the 3 km. Once I got there, I really didn't need to do much for a while (I got there an hour late too). The bad part was that I got all the not-so-fun parts, such as the smoker, and the dude that gets hit by the car. The smoking thing wasn't that bad, but to simulate being hit by a car made me realize how it felt to be a small animal on the road: fricking scary.
Anyways, I'm still coping with my strained hip, so I reaallly shouldn't be walking around too much.

This is perhaps Miku's most well known song. Black★Rock Shooter follows a variant of Miku, Black★Rock Shooter. On another note, Good Smile Company is releasing a PVC 1/8 Figure of Black★Rock Shooter. Just goes to show this songs fame/popularity, eh.
Original HQ Vers. (Miku & Ryo, PV by Huke)
歌和サクラ Version.
Nayuta Version. I'm quite fond of her singing to be honest.
NicoSinger Version. The quality isn't awesome, but the singers are.
127 Chorus Version (127 ppl) just for fun xD

No, it's not a typo on the scanlators fault. And no, it's no 18+.

No actual pictars (yet?) because I wasn't actually in there. I was there, but not there. Kinda like Anonymous.
Anyways, I was simply a vendor, selling refreshments (water, juice, pop) and ice cream (sorta). Made a decent amount given what we had, and the time, and place, although I say it could've been better. Made money off of them people dancing around, working up a sweat in the heated conditions of the dance floor (also known as the school cafeteria), and anyone who happened to be on drugs and became dehydrated. Got through security since I came early, but I didn't have a bag or anything so it really didn't matter.
Nothing really happened for the first hour or so. People were just lounging around the in the foyer, chatting, taking pictures, making it look more like a social gathering (which it technically is). The second half was when things really started (like business) and the cheers and shouts could be heard from down the corridors.
Unfortunately, I say the only stupid thing I did today was locking the store's key inside the store. Not only that, but even the spare key is in there. "orz Free block tomorrow morning will be spent searching for a teacher with a key to retrieve the two locked ones. "orz

Ahahahaha! All that suffering I went through...The blood! The pain! The sweat! The tears! I can leave all of it behind me!
Yeah. I finally got around to slicing up math and taking out of my schedule to keep my average from slipping below admission grades. I was doing horribly in it, so bad that even the best tutor in the world couldn't help me. Plus, I'm a student of the arts. Math isn't needed! If I'm desperate, I'll turn to my wonderful friend, music. With first year credits at Themes Valley University, so I'm not in too much trouble. Ehehehe...
