Category — Chibi Blog

Well, you may have noticed that my site layout changed almost two months ago. I’ve been busy trying to keep up with life and all its surprises. Recently, I went to Ai-kon in Winnipeg – my first convention ever. It was pretty good; not awesome, but good. I’ll eventually start blogging again, now that I’ve found a way to semi-update from my phone, but at least I finally got around to providing at least a chibi update.

With changes at work (and due to illness), I found myself with some free time, so I used that sparingly to catch up on some recent anime series I’ve neglected to watch this past spring season. To LOVE Ru -Toraburu-, ROSARIO To VAMPIRE, and Kanokon. Ahh, nothing like fanservice-y, romukomu, harem anime!

It really does.

If you take a well-known franchise, make it light-hearted, and SD all the characters, you’d have Fate/tiger colosseum, an upcoming PSP 3-D fighter. I’m looking forward to SABER LION. ガオオ～

Since I don’t plan to get married or have kids, Mom asked me if she could pass on one of my childhood sweaters to some lucky kid. When I was really young, Mom knitted me this very intricate dinosaur sweater – it had more than one dinosaur, and they were all over the sweater. It’s too bad it doesn’t fit me now, she’s a bit down about having to give it away. I wondered out loud, what would it be like to have an organic sweater? Can you imagine it? A living sweater that grows with you as you age, and all you have to do is feed it water and give it a bit of sunlight or something. Or even better, it eats bugs and you can wear it around in the summer. But then… what if it’s not bugs that it eats, but just flesh in general? Hmm. Maybe an organic sweater might not be the best idea after all.

I threw out the moldy bread. It got too moldy, and there were only three slices left. Three moldy slices.

I bought some peach jam from Safeway on Monday, and took it to work along with a loaf of bread from home. I was a little nonplussed at why the bread was already molding around the edges, but with a few swift cuts from my knife, those moldy sections were as good as gone. However, when I cracked open the new peach jam, I was nasally assaulted by its strong, pungent odor that can only be best described as sweaty feet that were bathed in a room of flatulence. However, the jam tastes great. I just have to plug my nose while eating it. In the tradition of SaveKaryn.com, I saved myself about $1.50 by not throwing out the moldy bread.

NCSoft, developer of Guild Wars, City Of Heroes, City Of Villains, and Lineage, are developing a new MMORPG in the form of a third-person action game called, Tabula Rasa. I just signed up for the beta test, but I think I might be too late, since the game is scheduled to release this October. Still, after viewing images and videos of the game, and reading GameSpot’s hands-on review, I think it’s safe to say that this game may very well break some new ground in the otherwise tedious, MMO market. I’m especially impressed with the tactical combat system and non-linear quests (as in, there are many different ways to solve a quest, and your actions determine the kind of quests you will come across later).

Yes, I’ve been neglecting this poor blog, because it’s too hot to sit down and churn out a lengthy post. Maybe when the weather cools down again. I have a story about a barbecue that ended up with a shirt being splashed with peach cooler, and Guitar Hero 2.

I took the entire blog down a couple hours ago! I decided to check my upgrade options in my admin options, and decided to auto-upgrade my WordPress install. What a huge mistake – my WordPress Dashboard stopped working and Unicode was disabled. I found out after an hour of panicking and restoring backups that for some strange reason, the auto-installer made two backups of my blog – one before the upgrade, and one after. The rescue instructions made no mention of the first backup and referred to the second backup, which, of course, changed nothing when I tried to recover several times. Stupid auto-installer.
