She is my all-time favorite

Hm, not much to talk about today, when I woke up at about 2am Pat wanted to know if I would like to go and solo Molten Core on World of Warcraft with him, I thought it sounded like fun so of course I went along, he's been doing MC every week so he can get something from there so that he can get Thunderfury on his warlock just for the hell of it. After we did MC we figured, why stop there? So we headed over to Karazhan next and downed all the bosses in there, doing old raid instances with 2 people is an easy way to get some money, we were both getting about 20g from each boss just from looting the money off of them, not to mention selling all the things that drop. After Karazhan we thought we'd try Serpentshrine Cavern, SSC, and of course Pat died on the elevator, that was one of the highlights of my day so far, so we cleared some trash and proceeded to the first boss, Hydros the Unstable, and since SSC was a 25 man raid instead of a 10, it was a tad bit harder, even with him going his affliction spec to keep himself up a bit, we still died in the end, though we got the boss to about 57%. But that didn't stop us, we then headed over to AQ 20 (The Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj) and easily beat that place, after we tried AQ 40 (The Temple of Ahn'Qiraj) and we kind of had some problems on the first boss, since he interrupts any and all spellcasting  within melee range, whoever had aggro could not cast a single spell unless it was an instant cast spell, then there's his mind control ability, though if it were just those two abilities we would have downed him easily, but the thing that got us was that the boss does a sort of mirror image ability and makes 2 copies of himself, both also have that interrupt ability and there was always at least the boss or one of the copies on each of us, so since he's a Warlock and I'm a Mage, we couldn't down him, we tried skipping him but turns out you need to down him before you can advance on, oh well. 

So far today I have not watched any anime yet, which kind of surprises me, but I'll watch some more sooner or later. Only 8 more days until the Omamori Himari manga volume 3 comes out in the US from rightstuf.com, I had pre-ordered volume 2 and 3 sometime back in early December, and volume 2 is waiting for volume 3 to be out in order to ship, I can't wait until those come in. I had already ordered volume one the same day I pre-ordered the other two volumes, but it was already out so I already have that at the moment, I ♥ the Omamori Himari manga/series, if anyone didn't know already Himari from Omamori Himari is my favorite character of all time ever since I first started reading the Omamori Himari manga about two years ago or so.

Anyways I have some things to sort out then I'll probably end up either watching some anime or doing a little bit more of WoW, or maybe both, depending on how much time I have, hope you all have a good day! ^^

Downtime is a little irritating

Going to keep this entry rather shorter than normal, I have quite the headache and I'm easily getting irritated at things, I did take some aspirin, so now I just have to wait for them to kick in. I started to level my warlock on World of Warcraft earlier so I could PvP with her at 85, but after about 45 minutes I kind of lost the motivation to do so, and just didn't really care for it anymore. I'd still like to PvP, but I have absolutely no clue what class I'd like to PvP with.

Pat has about caught up to where I am in the Bleach series, he only has three more episodes left to watch then I can finally continue on and see what happens next. Because I'm waiting for him to catch up I have been so bored and wanting to watch something but I don't know what I'd like to watch, I'll probably resume watching Ookami-san though, which I won't mind so much, I think I still have a few episodes left to download of that series before I have all of the episodes downloaded, I should probably check on that after writing this blog.

The forum I visit regularly, Nihonomaru, has randomly gone down three times within the past 20 minutes and it's really starting to irritate me, maybe it's also because of the headache but oh well. Speaking of irritating and anger, I found out that every week on Thursdays there is a new rage quit video out, and last week's was hilarious! He was playing an Xbox360 arcade game called N+, I've never heard of it before but it doesn't seem too fun in my opinion.

 

 

 

I was bored earlier so I decided to mess around in Photoshop, and I ended up making myself a new signature+avatar set with Saeko Busujima to use on forums, I'm really satisfied with how the end results look, though it's a bit ecchi since most of all pictures of Saeko Busujima are somewhat ecchi to begin with, but I don't mind it.

 

Speaking of signatures, I was on deviantart.com earlier today and came across a signature of Saeko Busujima done by ~phideki, I absolutely loved it.

~phideki's Saeko Busujima sig

Anyways I'll just end it at that, I'm going to go find something to watch or something to keep my occupied, hope you all have a good day.

I couldn't resist watching more

Today wasn't a very eventful day, although I seem to keep waking up later and later with each day, when I woke up it was already 3am, I've definitely got to set my hours back quite a bit. I seem to be slowly getting better as each day passes by though which is good. For a little while I almost felt like getting back into Facebook, but that quickly changed, I don't know why but Facebook just does not interest me at all.

I was browsing MMO-Champion.com and saw a featured video in one of their posts on the front page about an arena team with the human rogue known as Reckful, his 3v3 team is subtlety rogue/shadow priest/restoration druid, and I have to say they're pretty good lol, good enough that their 3v3 arena team rating is 3000+, they have definitely got to be within the top 5 in their battlegroup in my opinion, after watching Reckful's arena video it made me want to PvP so I'm still kind of debating whether or not I'd like to. 

 

 

 

I also saw a picture from The Daily Blink in one of MMO-Champion's posts today as well, and it gave me quite a good laugh.

Pat had gone to sleep before he could tell me if he had caught up to where I was in the series Bleach or not so I got a little impatient and decided to watch 5 more episodes, if he wasn't caught up, then he'll just have to watch 5 additional episodes, and I really want to know what's going to happen next so he better catch up within the next few days since he's not far off otherwise I'm just going to go on without him. >.< Ever since I've finished the series Highschool of the Dead, I've had a bit of an obsession with Saeko Busujima, if you ask me why I honestly really don't know how to say it other than I think she's a badass girl, as well as cute, pretty and beautiful, and I like her fighting style and personality as well.

Anyways I'm going to go find something to do for a little bit then head off to bed, hope you all have a great day. ^^

Small re-designs to the blog

If there is one thing I absolutely hate about being sick, it is the restless nights, I always seem to keep waking up every hour or two then having to try and get back to sleep, I'm guessing that is one of the reasons why I'm sleeping quite a lot, other than sleeping a lot just because I'm sick. Along with the fatigue, headache, and upset stomach, I now also have a sore throat and it would sound like I'm losing my voice a little, I believe this is a sinus infection that I caught from my dad when I was visiting him a few days ago. I slept for about 11 hours yesterday, from 2pm to 1am, when I woke up at 7pm I was tempted to take my pillow and blankets downstairs to sleep down there on the couch since it's very cool/chilly down there, though I didn't feel like getting up so I just stayed in bed until I fell asleep again.

I texted Pat and Jennifer when I woke up to see if either of them were up, Pat had apparently just woken up not too long before I did because he was hungry, although Jennifer didn't wake up until about 2:15am, I feel so bad that she caught what I have. Anyways once Pat found something to eat and had a quick cigarette he hopped on Ventrilo and chatted with me some while he was playing World of Warcraft, he wanted to know if I would like to log on to World of Warcraft and queue up for a random Heroic Dungeon together with him, and since I haven't been on WoW for the past couple of days because of me being sick I told him sure. The first group we had gotten was pretty bad, the dungeon was The Stonecore, the group was decently heroic geared, the tank was pretty well heroic dungeon geared as well, although he did not know how to tank the third boss in that place at all, so after about 5-7 wipes on that guy who is really easy, Pat and I left the group and queued up again, the other group we got was much better and a lot quicker at clearing the instance as well. Pat was pretty pissed, after we did the Heroic Dungeon so he could get his daily 70 Valor Points from the random, he was 20 Valor Points off from buying his cloak, so he's going to have to wait until tomorrow to get it.

I felt like replacing the title image on this blog to somewhat match the background a little bit color-wise and image-wise so I messed around a little in Photoshop today and just quickly made something to put up there for now, I didn't spend too much time on it since I just wanted there to be a new image up there so I may or may not spice it up later on when I get the time to. I also wanted to add something over on the side bar of the blog but I wasn't sure what to add, so I just ended up making a little reminder with Stocking in it and putting it below the Followers and Follow by Email thing, it's simple and yet I don't think it looks too bad at all, I rather like it

For anyone who enjoyed the Fable 3 rage quit video I'll link just one more which is another one of my favorites, it is of him playing Super Meat Boy. Anyways I just cooked myself some chicken noodle soup and I need to go eat it before it starts to get cold.

Warning, video contains strong language.

Akeno Shiranui was my very first

For the most part, today was pretty much just like yesterday except there was no going out to lunch, I woke up around 10:30am and some friends came over at about noon so we did a little bit more gaming until they left around 1pm. After they left I decided to vacuum around the house, do the laundry, and do a bit of cleaning again. This entry may be short since there wasn't much that happened today and it is the same as yesterday for the most part in my opinion.

I got on World of Warcraft earlier than usual today since I usually watch episodes first then go to gaming though there was a good friend on a tad early today so I decided to jump on as well. A couple friends and I did some battlegrounds shortly after we logged on, did them for about an hour then stopped to do Tol Barad. Tol Barad definitely seems like it would be easier to win since you capture the nodes quicker than before, though we were on defense when we did it earlier and surprisingly we actually defended which I was happy about, a good amount of honor, though my friend was sad they made the herbs and mining nodes despawn until the battle is over. Later on I ended up running one of the friend's alts through Scholomance for a little while since I was a bit bored, it got him quite a few levels over the runs so he was happy about getting any sort of run throughs.

I haven't really done any image browsing today, the only images I've really gone and saved are some more scans of Seto no Hanayome, I should finish up the saves of all the scans from that series tomorrow, I kind of slacked here and there today. For the past couple days I've been addicted to listening to the opening songs, ending songs, and character songs from Seto no Hanayome, I just love listening to them all. I got an email a little bit ago saying that my two DVD's of Seto no Hanayome have been shipped out so I can't wait for them to come in, they should arrive sometime next week at the latest, would of been nice if the OVA was included but oh well. This is a bit random but still somewhat on the topic of Seto no Hanayome, my very first dakimakura pillow was actually of a character from the series, it is of Akeno Shiranui and I still have it, I've always liked her, but then again I've always liked all the characters from that series.

I watched some more episodes of Strawberry Panic today, I'm up to episode 9 out of 26 so far and I'm just loving it, I am absolutely dying to know more about one of the character's past from that series. I also noticed that Funimation also has Strawberry Panic on DVD's that you can buy online, so I figured if it all goes well I'll most likely end up buying the DVD's for that as well. So far my favorite characters of Strawberry panic are Nagisa Aoi and Shizuma Hanazono and I can't wait to look up some of the scans from the series once I've finished it. I'm almost coming up on the halfway mark for the series and I noticed there is a second opening and second ending somewhere in the series so I'm wondering how the songs will be as well as the opening and ending video to go with it, definitely looking forward to seeing those as well.

I can slowly feel my hours slipping back to being nocturnal which I'm not intending to do but it just seems to be happening, oh well I should really get to bed, it's pretty late or rather pretty early now, could be looked at both ways, anyways, good night/morning and thanks for reading. Oh also, I may or may not write a blog on Friday, it all depends on what's going on and if some plans are going to happen or not.

 

Akeno Shiranui

My Bride is a Mermaid

I had to wake up somewhat early to clean up a bit around the house since I had some friends coming over for a while around 10am. They got here around 10:15am if I remember right and it's been a while since we've hung out so for a while we just chatted to see what's all new with everyone, then we did a little bit of gaming on the 360, we played Dead or Alive 4 and had the had the winner stay in and who ever lost would pass their controller onto the next person, it was pretty fun, I've always loved the Dead or Alive games, I wish they'd come out with another Dead or Alive game but I highly doubt that is going to happen. At about noon we decided to stop gaming and go out to lunch, we ended up going to Old Chicago, it's been a while since I've been there but I love their food so I was happy to go there.

Later on in the day I did a little bit more gaming with some friends on World of Warcraft, one had asked me to go around with him in the Wrath of the Lich King dungeons just to make getting the ancestry coins from the elders go faster. When we were over in the Utgarde area we did Keep first then Pinnacle and decided to also do Pinnacle on heroic mode to see if the mount would drop for me since he already has it, he has some bad luck with dungeons but apparently has somewhat good luck with mounts, that or they upped the drop-rate of the Blue Proto-Drake because it dropped, though since it did I had to go and buy epic flying, but it's all for the best, so I'm happy.

I was watching TV earlier browsing through channels and came across a movie that seemed interesting to I turned it over to the channel it was on, the movie is called Sweet Home Alabama, with Reese Witherspoon and Josh Lucas as well as some others, I really liked that movie, it was funny and romantic, definitely one I'd watch again. One other movie I've seen with Reese Witherspoon is Four Christmases with Vince Vaughn, now that movie is hilarious, I've only seen it once and definitely want to see it again. Vince Vaughn is awesome, in my opinion he is a good actor and pretty funny.

I finished Sasameki Koto earlier today and I will say that I was a bit disappointed with the ending, I definitely did not see what I would have liked to happen so it's an alright series but I've seen better. Since I had finished Sasameki Koto I decided to start Strawberry Panic, one thing I wish was that the files I had downloaded were in 16:9 aspect ratio but they were 4:3, which I'm fine with. I intended to only watch 1 episode of it today but ended up watching up to episode 4, in my opinion Strawberry Panic is kind of addictive, I may only be 4 episodes in so far but to me the series is starting off very nicely and I'm glad the series is 26 episodes long because I know I am going to enjoy it very much. I was looking through my music folder and decided to listen to some of the Seto no Hanayome songs, which also got me looking through some of the scans from that series, it's been ages since I've actually watched it, I think about 1 or 2 years, but I absolutely love that series, it's one of my favorites. Which reminded me that Funimation had obtained the license to sub and release Seto no Hanayome in the US about a year ago, I believe they were released in June 2010 and August 2010, and I checked earlier today that they were still in stock so I got part 1 with episodes 1-13 and part 2 with episodes 14-26, so I ordered part 1 and part 2 earlier today online and since the total was over $50 I was able to get free shipping which made me happy, so I'm definitely looking forward to getting those in the mail sometime in the next week.

I had a bit of a headache earlier but with the help of a couple aspirin again it's gone, but I've stayed up later than I actually intended to so I am going to head on over to bed to get some sleep, I didn't sleep too well last night, anyways thanks for reading.

A series to watch after the next series

I had to wake up somewhat early today because I told my next-door neighbor I would help him do his grocery shopping since he's about 76 years old and with how he is I wouldn't want him carrying all of them from the car and up two things of stairs to get to the kitchen, I ended up getting myself a few things while we were out there so it worked out nicely. We were done and got back to the house sometime around 10am, took about 15 minutes to get all of the stuff into the kitchen, he just puts them where they go while I carry them from the car up to the kitchen table.

After all that I went home and decided to get on the computer for a little bit, ended up having to restart it because Firefox was acting a bit slow. So after that I decided to browse for some more images again since I came across another artist and didn't end up checking out some of his work last night so I went through it today and I like it, there's a few that I really like quite a lot, especially one of them. I had to go and re-look up a gif image on the same website I had found a day before to quote something I found pretty funny that someone commented on it so that I could mention it to a friend of mine randomly and see how he would react, he got quite a laugh from it. Which reminds me that I forgot to look up today to see if any of my favorite artists have any new work out but I'll just check tomorrow.

I would have forgotten there was a new episode of White Collar today if my dad hadn't mentioned something to me over the phone when we were talking, I'm so glad I didn't miss it, I really liked it quite a lot. Though I am a bit disappointed that there won't be a new episode next week which means I'll have to wait two whole weeks before a new episode of White Collar airs, I hate waiting so long for new episodes, especially when things end on a cliff hanger or give a really good preview, today's episode didn't end in a cliffhanger but the preview for the next episode looks so good I just can't wait to see it.

I watched some more episodes of Sasameki Koto today after I had looked up some images of the one artist that I talked about earlier, I said I'd only watch one or two episodes today but it's starting to get really good, it's all good before but it's just getting really good now towards the end, I went up to episode 11 today so I've only got two more to go, I'm really wondering how it'll end and  I'm liking the things I'm seeing so far so it's looking pretty good. I also started downloading some episodes of Strawberry Panic in advance today so I won't have to wait for the downloads to finish tomorrow when I start the series, can't wait to start it, it seems like it'll be a good series. When I was browsing around MAL I found an anime that had aired somewhat recently and is finished airing, called Fortune Arterial: Akai Yakusoku, again I'm not going to post the synopsis in here since they tend to be a little long and would extend the blog for a tad bit so I'll just leave a link down at the bottom as usual. One thing that really got my attention about it is the genres, the genres for this series are Comedy, Romance, School, Vampire, and Supernatural, and I really liked the series Karin which is a vampire series along with comedy, school, romance, and supernatural so I'm hoping Fortune Arterial: Akai Yakusoku is pretty good, I decided that I'll watch it after I'm done watching Strawberry Panic.

I had heard from a friend that today was patch day on World of Warcraft so I logged on today and turns out it is patch day. I've been waiting for this patch to come out for a couple weeks now just for a change in the fire spec tree for mages, the reduced mana cost of the Fireball spell as well as a few others and one of the biggest things I was happy about was the fact that Druids can't shape-shift out of roots/freezes now which I found to be pretty overpowered and frustrating, on the bad side I can't use Time Warp in arenas anymore but I believe it's a fair trade. I did a little bit of PvP with a couple friends on World of Warcraft earlier today and it was quite fun except for the fact that for the longest time we were losing one battleground after another, though the last one we did before we had to stop was a Warsong Gulch which we did end up winning so I was happy about that. A while after we had stopped doing PvP I decided to start leveling up my Hunter from 80 to 85 just to get a little bit more gold to send to my other character, I didn't get too far since I started rather late so I'm only about 25% left until level 81.

Well it is getting rather late so I think I am going to head on over to bed to get some sleep, I have to get up early tomorrow to do a couple things, so I am off to bed, thanks again for reading.

Another shoujo ai series next

Not much has happened today, it was rather quiet today to be honest, though it's nice every once in a while. I was visiting my mom over the weekend and woke up about 10am this morning to leave back to home, got home around 10:30am or so and decided to write a blog about what I did over the weekend since I didn't write Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. As I mentioned in that other blog, I will for sure write blogs Monday through Friday, though I'm still not so sure about writing them on the weekends, I may or may not depending on what's going on. One thing that kind of gets to me from somewhat going back and forth between this house and my mom's house is the temperature, it's always freezing at her house yet when I get back here it's always hot, especially the room I'm in at the moment which is where I sleep, it also has the computer in this room which doesn't help any, so if it get's too bad then I just open the window and let some of the cold air in, which I usually open it anyways when I go to sleep, I just love the cold when I'm sleeping.

Well since not much has really happened today I'm not exactly sure there will be much to write about so this may be a tad bit short compared to the others. After I had written the blog about my weekend when I got home earlier today I had a few things to do, such as vacuum again since, as I mentioned before, my cat sheds tons. Once I was done vacuuming I decided to do a little cleaning, such as doing the dishes and such. I think if I remember right I got done sometime around 1pm to 1:30pm.

Once I was finished I decided to do a little browsing around for images since I hadn't done that in a while, look up some of my favorite artists, such as Taka Tony, Kamiya Tomoe, and Tomose Shunsaku, those are my three favorite artists, I have more favorites but those three are the ones I look up the most. But I decided that rather than just looking at specific artists I'll just look at the "Popular" tab to see what other people have been viewing lately that's gotten the most hits for the day and the days before, it's been quite some time since I have viewed the "Popular" tab but I came across quite a lot of good finds that I ended up saving to the computer, such as the picture below, I don't remember if I found this one in the "Popular" tab or if it was from another search though I just think it's a nice picture.

 

Though in my search I also found quite a lot of unexpected finds, although as unexpected as they were I do quite like them, they are I guess you could say anime-ized pictures people have done of the computer game World of Warcraft, and since I somewhat play that game it was really neat to see pictures of it anime-ized and some anime-styled fan art of it. There was one artist that seemed to have done about all of his work as anime-style World of Warcraft pictures, I just loved them, I'm looking forward to more of his work soon and shall be checking on it daily. There was one in particular that I was really fond of, I'll put it below, I guess you could say it's a parody with two characters from the Touhou Project as some characters in World of Warcraft that are gender-swapped. On the left is Kamishirasawa Keine cosplayed as the lich Kel'thuzad, and in the middle is Inubashiri Momiji cosplayed as Arthas Menethil.

Since it's Monday, there was a new episode of Harry's Law today on TV, the more I watch the series, the more I like it. I can't wait until tomorrow when  a new episode of White Collar airs, I'm really curious as to how this season will end, though I'm in no rush for the season to end just yet, there's still quite a lot I'd like to know from this season. On the subject of series, I watched a couple more episodes of Sasameki Koto earlier today, I actually intended to watch more but other things came up so I only got around up to episode 7 today. I'm thinking of either finishing Sasameki Koto tomorrow or the day after, I've already got a series in mind that I'm going to start watching after I finish Sasameki Koto, which I should get downloading some episodes in advance. It's a series called Strawberry Panic, it's been on my plan-to-watch list for quite a long time but I've never gotten around to watching it so I decided since I've been watching a few shoujo ai series why not watch some more, I'm really looking forward to watching it. I would put the synopsis in here but it would be a tad bit much to put in here so I'll just leave a link at the bottom of the page as always with a link to it. I had thought that Strawberry Panic was 13 episodes long but I guess it's actually 26 episodes in total, I'm not too sure why I was thinking it was 13. The longer a series is the better I say, well for the most part, some such as Bleach, Naruto and such which are over 200 episodes long and still currently airing I just can't really watch, it's too many episodes for me, the only time I've watched a series that was that long is Dragonball Z, though I do like Dragonball Z quite a lot. So I'm not sure I'll really watch Bleach, and I know for a fact I'll never watch Naruto, I've heard so many bad reviews about it and it just doesn't seem like the kind that will interest me.

I thought today's blog would be relatively shorter compared to my other ones seeing as how there wasn't much that went on today but I guess it still is quite long, though I'd rather it be a bit long than too short so I'm happy with it. Anyways, I've got to get up somewhat early to do an errand or two so I should be getting to bed, thanks again for reading.
