A Day with Kenn

A Day with Kenn 54

Wednesday, April 28, 2010

Spent much of the day cleaning. Yes, that's right. Cleaning. I'll make a tedious chore interesting. There's

Yum. Breakfast for Kenn. Hamburger. The patty is beef with mozzarella stuffed inside. The tomatoes in the fridge didn't look to hot, so I skipped adding them in. Tasty. Nom nom nom.

After vacuuming the house, I went to clean my closet. It might not exactly look messy, but that was because I took some stuff out before I snapped the shot. Lots of bags and stuff in there.

This brings back good and bad memories. Physics 11 project. One of two. Glad I didn't keep the second one. Anyways, it's what's left of our self-powered car. It moved using the potential energy in a wound up elastic band. Didn't work all that well when we put it to the test in class. So I sent it down the hill on my way home, where it hit a bump, got air, and smashed into a tree. Kids, don't drink and drive.

Yes, my closet had all sorts of weird stuff. Including left over pieces of wood. You might not be able to see it, but the thin piece of wood in the center has two nails sticking out of it. There's two pieces of wood that are like that. Never know when you need to smack someone with a dangerous weapon.

My cousins got me this several years ago when they went to Vietnam. It's nice and all, but it's missing pieces. The box is that big, but the trays are puny. No refund or exchange huh.

Also found some Yu Gi Oh! and Pokemon cards. All rare pokemon cards, and quite a few kind of rare Yu Gi Oh! cards.

A box of the smaller scale gundams. 1/144 scale, plus two Keroro models. There's quite a few of them. They're all in their boxes. After I got my first 1/100 scale, I haven't bought a 1/144 again. ^^;

Can you guess what the new Figma is? My lovely stack of boxes is growing. Will have to see if I can order the Mobip Miyafuji. Always wanted a Strike Witch. ^^;

Also dug up old photos from my grade 7 camping excursion. While it was hardly camping, it was fun.

We had cabins, separated by gender, where we'd be preassigned to cabins. I had cabin 10 along with a bunch of other people. Here's two of the cabin mates, wrestling in bed. Kinky.

Our lovely home for 3 days. It's the furthest away from any of the facilities, and the teacher's cabin is right behind us. The blinds were also broken.

Forget where this was, but it's quite a view. The camp we went to was Camp Jubilee, in the Indian Arm. It's a fjord, so the camp is pretty much surrounded by water.

To get to the island, we left from Deep Cove in North Vancouver, taking a speed boat to get to the island. Deep Cove is also where the camp gets their supplies.

We took a few hikes through the forest. One of the hike was scary, as the path was very narrow. The slope was very sharp, and dropped off into the ocean. We joked that so and so would fall and be impaled on the trees on their way down.

As much fun as it was, when our cabin collapsed, it wasn't much fun. Had to invade another cabin for a night. Just kidding. This was an old cabin that had collapsed long before we arrived. The camp leaders told ghost stories about it.

=3= Crim exam today. A few food things, a trip spoiled by weather and a newly acquired item.

That's all you need for a nice, delicious steaming hot bowl of phở! Pronounced something like 'fuh' rather than the atrocious 'foe' that I hear all too often. I cringe every time I hear it. It's actually a little old, been in the fridge for a little bit. Doesn't taste as good as it would at the folk's place.

It might be hard to tell, and I forgot to rotate the image, but that's a rocking chair. Not quite sure why my dad bought it, but we now have a rocking chair. It's obviously used, but it still works. Not much room to have it in the house though.

Came with an adorable foot stool. Doesn't quite match with the chair, but it's all good.

Found this little bugger hanging out in my room. Looks like a mosquito, but I'm not sure. Not sure where it went now either.

Anywho, today I had the criminology 101 final. It was different from what I thought it'd be. Unfortunately for me, and many other people, I studied mainly on the theories and people. The exam was a practical application of the theories and stuff, quite easy too. Not sure how I did. If I feel that an exam is easy, I often do poorly on it. If I feel that the exam was really hard, then I'd usually do bad, because it was actually that hard.

Got my crim paper back too. A bit upset that the prof didn't give us much instruction to work off of to do our paper. It's a 101 course, so it's the basic of basic university stuff. I got marks deducted for not citing sources in the body of the essay, and not double spacing. I also got marks deducted for English errors, but that's an error that's on my part. A few people I know had similar concerns. The prof's comments didn't help much either. "If you had done this, you would've gotten this". Kind of like dangling a rope over the head of a drowning man. Adding insult to injury?

Was on Lonsdale Quay. That's pronounced 'key' for those who don't know. I was hoping to take some photos while I was on the quay, but the weather was terrible up in North Vancouver. Heavy rain and hail along with strong winds. Anyways, boarded the sea bus (a small ferry, a boat). The engine was loud. Could hear it over the earphone spewing sound into my head. The boat rocked a tad bit because of the blustery weather. It's a wide boat though, so rocking if minimal. Had it been a yacht, or any other boat with a narrower hull, then the rocking probably would've been stronger.

Picked up a figma today, and pre-ordered Lost Planet 2. Heard that a finely armour-clad Hunter from Monster Hunter is a playable avatar. Looking forward to trying to unlock that.

Will have figma photo shoot eventually. Will also have another anime post coming up.

Manga of ze Week - わたしの狼さん。/ dear

Sunday, April 25, 2010

Image from here.

I don't think I've put these up before, but I really feel like I have.

Title: わたしの狼さん, My Wolf

Author: 藤原ここあ (Fujiwara Cocoa)

Genre: ~~Shoujo~~ Shounen, Adventure, Comedy, Fantasy, Romance

Total Volume Count: 2

Serialized in: Square Enix GanGan Wing

Summary from MangaUpdates:

Bored of sitting around holding a wine glass all day, the Demon Lord is looking for something new. Something cute. Someone like Komomo, the level 0 heroine who has just appeared before him, ready to vanquish him like all heroes (or heroines) do. Faced with a demon king who'd rather watch TV under a kotatsu and make out with her than spread evil over the land, what will Komomo do?

Kenn's Comment: It ran in GanGan Wing, which makes it shounen, but I think that it'd appeal more to girls than it would to guys. Kinda like Superior. Anywho, this is the prequel to Dear, telling the story of Komomo and the Demon King. It's really cute and entertaining.

Title: Dear, ティア

Author: 藤原ここあ (Fujiwara Cocoa)

Genre: ~~Shoujo~~ Shounen, Adventure, Comedy, Fantasy, Romance

Total Volume Count: 12

Serialized in: Square Enix GanGan Wing

Summary from MangaUpdates:

Meet Chiruha: She lives alone in a small secluded house deep in a mountainous forest, the TV her only connection to the outside world. After years of watching and dreaming of what life must be like in the outside world, she has gathered up her courage to venture out and explore the local village. However, she must be careful not to stand out among the humans, for Chiruha holds a secret...
Kisara also holds a secret...and a grudge. He's searching for who--or whatever cursed him, and he may have finally found the answer...

Kenn's Comment: Yes, the English title came before the Japanese one. It's stylized as 'Dear', therefore, the English title is the main title. This is the sequel to わたしの狼さん. The first few volumes focus on Chiruha and co., though Komomo and company later return to the limelight. Just like わたしの狼さん, it's a cute RPG-esque romantic-comedy that'll appeal to both girls and guys alike. Or maybe I'm just a tad bit effeminate. That aside, it is listed as shounen, and runs in a shounen magazine and if it got 12 volumes, plus the two that わたしの狼さん got, you can tell it was fairly popular.

Spring Anime Updates 2

Saturday, April 24, 2010

YAAMMAAAADAAAAA!!

Well, I've got the episode 1 review for two series, two episode 4 reviews, and a manga update.

四畳半神話大系 1

(Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei 1)

Produced by MADHOUSE, but gave me SHAFT vibes. The way it played out just felt a lot like a Shinbou directed SHAFT episode. The opening was not surprising at all. I would've been surprised if AKG didn't have a song in the series, seenig as the character designer does all their album covers.

The dialogue went by really fast, and there's lots of it. It'd probably be a tad bit difficult to dub this seeing as how fast and how much the characters talk. Anywho, the art will definitely take a bit to get used to, though I'm fine with it. I also heard that it's first episode didn't do too well.

さらい屋五葉　１

House of Five Leaves 1

First episode was great. Like Youjou han Taikei, the art will probably take a bit of getting used to. I'd love to watch the second episode, but Funimation has my neck of the woods blocked. Strongly recommend watching this series though. The opening is such a great song too.

こばと。

Kobato.

Had some free time on my hands, so I decided to finish up Kobato, which I had put on the back burner for a while. Went for the last handful of episodes (last 5). It's definitely not original, nothing groundbreaking here, but it was oh so beautiful. When Kobato was 'leaving' and the barrier was put up, with Domoto on the other side, it reminded me so much of the beginning chapters of Tsubasa. Teared up watching the last half of episode 23, then my eyes burned like hell. 24 left me with a fluffy feeling inside.

On the other hand, the artists and animators must have gotten a tad bit lazy, since the announcement that Kobato would have a different outfit everyday didn't happen.

Ｂ型Ｈ系　４

They got somewhere! Yatta! Yamada's reaction after their kiss was rather amusing, once again reinforcing the fact that despite her rather perverted mindset, she's still a rather innocent, and inexperienced girl. Yamada also got her first glimpse of real sex, as well as the dark side of the world (bottom left). Not sure if she'll still pursue her 100 partner thing anymore. From the preview, it looks like she goes commando next episode.

Angel Beats! 4

It should be noted that retarded pink haired devilish loli's will screw everything up, even when you're trying to pass on to the next world. So the next time you try to pass on, make sure there's isn't a devilish, retarded pink haired loli. The opening changed. Don't think it'll be permanent, but lolis and death metal should never be in the same sentence.

ながされて藍蘭島８４Ａ

Those are Suzu's panties. If they're with Ikuto...

What is she wearing here?

Answer: Nothing

I know it looks odd, but the blood is coming from Ikuto, not Suzu.

On another note, most guys would kill for a moment like that, but a moment like that will probably kill Ikuto.

84 and a half chapters in, heck, 96 chapters in, and I can't really say that too much has changed. Ikuto's gotten used to the island life, he has a very good relationship with Suzu, though they're both kind of dense. Ikuto still explodes in the nose at the sight of panties, and any nude, partially nude, or almost nude girls. I don't think any real progress has happened in a while, so I'm hoping something happens soon. The traps and Ayane sets for Suzu, and Ikuto's exploding nosebleeds are getting a tad bit old. Ikuto's sister is still in the picture, I hope.

A Day with Kenn

A Week with Kenn 52

Friday, April 23, 2010

Will probably stick to Week's instead of Days for the most part.

Breakfast from a few days ago. Yes, I said breakfast. I could probably call it lunch, but this was an hour or two before noon, so I called it breakfast. A hamburger with chicken wings. Tasty and not good for you.

This morning's breakfast. Another burger..of sorts. It's much more of a sandwich than a burger. A few slices of beef, lots of cheese, lettuce, mustard, ketchup, and relish. It's tasty, and healthier than the above.

This is probably one of the weirdest thing's you'll find. It's called chuối khô (literally dried banana). It retains much of it's banana flavour, though it has a distinctive smoky kind of flavour too. It's rolled out into thin rounds, much like the rice paper wrappers. Very sticky and dry. Eating too much will make your throat hurt. Personal experience.

I really like these. It's hard to read, but it says 'Tamarind Candy'. Tamarinds are a funny look...fruit that's found pretty much every from Africa to Southeast Asia. I'm pretty sure Izzy knows what these are. These are caramelized tamarinds preserved with sugar and chili. It's sweet, but also packs quite a kick.

Been trying to cut down on the amount of coffee I consumed. Turned to tea to get my caffeine fix. On the left are the various teas I drink. I've been using a tea steeper and dried tea leaves instead of tea bags recently. I'm actually not sure what kind of tea I'm drinking. It says something oolong tea on the green container in the middle. They're tasty though. My tea steeper is cute, isn't it? Pineapple.

In other news, I've been playing with online generators I stumbled upon while going through the pools over at Danbooru. Specifically, this pool.

Using my name (I made it up) in Japanese, 健 (ken), I ran my name through the generators up on the Danbooru. I'm using Google Translator to help me, but if someone can give a better translation, I'd appreciate it lots. If someone asks, I'll put up the translation I got from Google, but they don't make all that much sense, so I'm keeping them down.

Anyone know what 三白眼 means? Other than 'three white eyes'.

Making You into a 2D Woman

服はTシャツ+ジーンズで、三白眼で黒髪のロングのツインテールで大きなリボンで病んでる感じのキャラ

Making You into a Little Girl

身長1cmくらいで人懐っこくて髪が白いドリルのひんぬーの妖艶な幼女

Making You into a Heroine of an Eroge

茶髪キャスケットで眼鏡かけていて病んでいる先輩

Making You into a 2D Woman with Animal Ears

ライオンミミ狐目藍色ツインテール幼馴染属性

Can't say that the results are exactly favourable, though I'm sure they could be worse. I'd do drawings if I were an artist. But alas, Kenn is not gifted in visual art.
