Spring cleaning!

Another fine day in Japanland! I opened all my doors and windows to get some air, and cleaned the whole place top to bottom. This includes going through old papers, making an actually systematic way of organizing all these wonderful bills I've been collecting, recording my receipts and such, blah blah. Gawd I love being an independent adult *gag*

Yesterday I made some aaaaawesome curry. The ingredients were potatoes, carrots, an onion, peas and some chopped up fried chicken I had lying around. It turned into somewhat more of a stew by day 2, but was still delish.

Got out my new hot water steamer thingamabobber. Instant tea and boiling water for soup! A good investment I think. Also makes good instant hot cocoa ^_^ Heats water a whole lot faster than my woooonderful electric stove (sarcasm).

On a sidenote, last week in school Sobakasu was played over the loudspeaker as the lunchtime song. (Sobakasu was an opening song to the anime Kenshin, sung by Judy + Mary.) Only thing was, it was the vocaloid Hatsune Miku version?! The kids knew it was weird but also didnt know what vocaloid is. My guess is one of the kids in 2nd year spends too much time on the internet.... Here's the voclaoid version of the song. For the record, I an NOT a fan of robotic sounding music like this. The program gives you great artistic license, but I wouldn't want to really listen to the music itself. (dodges rotten tomatoes from vocaloid fans)

Looking forward to trying out my new Japanese version of Chrono Trigger for the DS I found at 2nd street (a store) last week. Should prove interesting. If Adam could play Pokemon before he could read well, I can play Chrono Trigger now.....maybe ^^;

Long time no post

Okay, so it's been forever and a few days since I last posted something, ごめん　ね。So....I'll just ignore it and pretend this huge gap isn't here ^^;

Funky tidbit of the day (anime related)

Comic Imitation?

"The American company Radical Publishing has announced that it halted the production and distribution of Nick Simmons' Incarnate comic book series on Wednesday evening, amid allegations that the comic plagiarized Tite Kubo's Bleach manga."
(Taken from AnimeNewsNetwork)

Basically an American comic maker drew pretty much the same thing as was in the popular Japanese manga Bleach. The original author, Kubo Tite, didn't seem too concerned. Imitation is the highest form of flattery, ne? It seriously looks like just about the same thing. Of course that they had to pick Kenpachi to copy, which in itself is awesome :)

Ice skating related!

South Korea's Kim Yu-Na kicked ass, heads and tails over anyone else performance-wise. That is all.
