So, I spent most of the day in a daze, after pulling off a near-all nighter. Was jacked up on an energy drink yesterday, and woke up in the morning with no energy. Never got that energy back.

We were looking through a catalog of office supplies, finding all the cool stuff, pretty pens and what nots. We had an idea to order a crap-load of useless stuff and leave it in the market as a memento of what we did. I suggested we get a bunch of empty boxes, and fill a few with random crap. Of course, that was before I found the page with the staple gun.

On another note, I got a bonsai from my dad! I have a few small Gundams around it, but my mom doesn't like them. xD

I'll add pictures when I have more energy xD

Yes, so I know Tissue Hime is old news. But I was hanging around YT yesterday hunting for Miku songs when I came across Tissue Hime again. Forgot all about him. But this time around I noticed more stuff, like his enviable near-perfect figure o: He mainly does Anime related songs, and Miku songs. He's actually quite famous, being in a few collaborations and commercials.

Title: Bitter Virgin, ビター バージン
Author: Kusunoki Kei (Girls Saurus, Girls Saurus DX, 100 Ways of an Exorcist)
Genre: Seinen, Drama, Romance, Slice of Life, School Life

Total Volumes: 4

Kenn's Rating: 10/10
This manga deals with some heaaaavy material. And I mean heavy material. Naruto and Bleach have nothing against this. Lots of drama and romance, it's an emotional roller coaster where it doesn't go very high up.

Summary from ANN:
Popular high school student Suwa Daisuke has no interest in dating newcomer Aikawa Hinako, a quiet loner. That's because she recoiled from his flirtatious touch, and he took it as a personal affront. Daisuke informs one of his buddies that he wouldn't date her, not knowing Hinako was listening. Daisuke's attitude changes after he accidentally hears her confession in an abandoned church; she's been sexually abused by her stepfather and has given up a child for adoption. His former annoyance turns to compassion and concern. Hinako is unaware that he knows her terrible secret. Believing him to have no romantic interest, she becomes more relaxed and comfortable in his company. Their relationship faces a lot of obstacles, including jealous classmates.

This week's a good song. New, in the top 10 of the Weekly Rankings. ;D It's beautiful. Plus it's got Luka as support. There's a duet version, but I don't think that it's very good. ;D Anyways, enjoy. On another note, I'm working on a review of the spring series so far...just waiting for the 3rd episode of the series. ;D

Author: Obana Miho
Genre: Shoujo, Drama, Romance, School Life, Comedy

Volumes: 10 (plus 1 One-Shot, not counted in total)

Kenn's Rating: 10/10
It's a great series, in a sense that the drama and romance is touching, while it still has it's moments of comedy. You'll cry and laugh with the characters as you make your way through the manga. It's really nice. The anime version was said to be the "greatest anime in the world" by a dude on ANN.

Summary from Baka-Updates:
Sana gets a part in a TV movie, costarring with a hot new actress, but she’ll never get to the studio if she can’t survive the bullies at school. Akito "the Demon" Hayama continues his reign of terror so Sana comes up with a crazy plot to put him in his place. Sana takes advantage of Hayama's fear of heights and challenges him to a bungee jumping contest! Maybe the world’s biggest bully will finally back down.

A story of growing up, letting go, falling in love, and falling out. It follows the relationships of Sana, Hayama, and friends.

Spent my freeblock mainly in the Trojan, playing Resistance: Retribution (psp). It's quite difficult, especially if you don't have cover. Anyways, this isn't the main story.

Alrighty, so afterschool, at the Trojan as usual, me, Christ, John, Mindy & Connie happened to be in there. So John had tear-aways on, the kind with the buttons and all, meant for sports and stuff, but had no shorts on underneath. It's a disturbing thought really, since he had them unbuttoned up to his knees.

John left quick, since it's not his day today, while Mindy and Connie stayed for a bit more. They talked about the prom and stuff girls would talk about, before asking us how we were gonna get there. Most people rent a limo and share the cost between a bunch of people. However, knowing us, getting a limo might be a real stretch. So then I suggested that John would drive us. Connie scoffed at my idea, saying that whatever we wore going into his car wouldn't be what we would be wearing coming out. I don't think John's driving is that bad...

Anyways, I'm really not too excited about the prom. It's held at our school (how lame is that?), and it's an over-hyped event. Chances are that someone's gonna get hurt. It's inevitable. There are other reasons for my..lack of interest in the prom, but that's another story.

Sorry, but I just couldn't help it. D: Meiko's too cool. Anyways, the Niconico video had higher quality than YouTube, but I couldn't figure out how to embed NND vids, so bear with the slightly lower quality HQ YT link. =( Btw, it's from the same people who made Honey Honey, which was a Vocaloid feature earlier (18 weeks ago approximately)

Found this video on youtube while hunting around for stuff on Project DIVA. Thought it'd be a great video for those who don't know about Miku and Vocaloid. ;D Enjoy.

Had a dinner for our Marketing class (plus a few other Marketing classes) down at Samba. The food was pretty good, but I couldn't eat too much since I started feeling a bit queasy. Ate lots of salad (greens are good for you), and a bit of meat.

Messed around with friends, and learned that you can put ashes on to an ice cube by holding it above a flame.

Christ ended up with a boil on his finger since he stuck it in the flame.

After the dinner, we took group photos of the Management class, and then took more photos before taking a while to think, and decide where to go after. We ended up going to Bubble World down by Metro, where we waited a while. Couldn't ride in a car, so I ended up being the "guardian" of the girls. Ended taking a skytrain with them, meeting up with John and driving to the BBT place. Ended up in the trunk of his RAV4. Bumps are the hurt.

Christ was out of place, being the only Caucasian person in the group, denouncing his partly Asian heritage. Anyways, he got a pretty normal (futsuuuu~) drink (Strawberry Ice cream shake I think), while I got a milk tea bbt. Talked for like an hour before leaving. Back with John, Christ and Mindy and we were supposed to drive home. Someone brought up the idea of going down to the river, which then brought up John's "bench" which then lead us around the river, getting lost for a bit and nearly going off the road and into the river. Eventually found his "bench" and walked around by the river. We looked pretty cool, semi-formal and all in the dark of the night, by the river. All we need was a nicer car.

Anyways, we eventually got home (after taking an N, various wrong turns, various near death experiences, a warning to a loved one of the possibility of death, etc.) Cold + Filled Bladder do not mix.

I'll update a bit more once I get some pictures from the dinner.

edit: pics added. where's kenn?

Yea, just some news while I finish up capping all the series I've watched.


1. Ristorante Paradiso is indeed being streamed on Crunchyroll.

2. A new special for Hidamari Sketch was supposedly made. The title sorta looks like a parody of Mazinger...

3. In the Dragon Age Information Booklet, there's a page or two possibly confirming the anime adaption of Matra Milan's Omamori Himari. Depending on the animation studio, I'm not too sure on how this'll work out. It'll either end up like Kanokon, fapping fodder and nothing else, or a nice blend of the slightly risque ecchi moments along with the storyline. *note Matra Milan is usually a H Manga Artist ;D

4. To Aru Kagaku no Rail Gun is confirmed. It starts in October, and it's all centered around Biri Biri :'DD.

5. Gundam Unicorn movie announced? A new UC Gundam movie was confirmed. Let's hope it won't be in CG. Unicorn needs to be HAND DRAWN!

Vocarock! Trippy video, and a catchy song. Good song xD

I'm back again, this time with K-ON! goodness. Mio really looks like Yomi from Ga-Rei (Zero for the anime), while Yui reminds me of Minori from ToraDora!. Ritsu is like the Haruhi of this series xD. On a whole different note, the fake torrents up on TokyoTosho were really quite aggravating. I got Chihiro and CoalGuy's subs only learn both were fake. So I went and did some investigating, and learned that no group has subbed it yet. Well, I understood most of the raw, so ya. They changed parts and added parts to the manga material. As long as they don't do anything too far from the manga, and make it suck, I'm fine with it. xD
