Oh Boredom, How We've Grown Close... Not Really.

If you're looking for the homework post, it's right under this one.

Video of the Day

yukihiro is my fucking hero! ARE YOU FAWKING READY!?
--------------------------------
Today was just another day, as usual. Spent around $30 today. Good thing Adam is gonna be buying freaking lunch tomorrow or sometime this week to pay me back dayum. The other.. oh say... $17 of that was for Kitchen Confidential. I've only read part of it while sitting @ Borders a while back, but seeing as how it was the 'updated' version, I picked it up on the way to school. Rather convenient that there was a B&N on the way to west campus.

Gonna read that on the train while heading to school. Muah.Ha.Ha.
--------------------------------

On the Anime/Manga side of things, it's pretty much the same old things. Nice to have a new episode of Katanagatari this month. I wish they would translate the light novels into English so I could read them, but a 50 minute episode is good enough for me.

I'm pretty sure it's not this month, but Black Rock Shooter needs to come out! If anything it'll be out next month... if my calculations are correct... and believe me, there were no calculations involved at all. Just watching that 90sec PV for it, I have high hopes for it, with huke leading the designs and the quality of the animation, ITS GONNA ROCK. Not to mention the fanbase is fucking ridiculously huge.

that's pretty much it for now, gonna watch Katanagatari and Kobato now.

A Drill That Pierces the Heavens!



Unlike other action figures, the Revoltech line of figures are poseable. The object in question would be the Gurren Lagann from the anime, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. The overall design of the mech is rather interesting. Remember the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers' Megazords? Well, it's kind of like that.

There are 3 main colors on this robot. First, the Gurren Lagann is very... red, kind of like the color of a fire. Second would be its charcoal gray joins and armor plating. To finish off would be the kind of goldenrod colored plating just to balance it out.

The Gurren Lagann is made up of two separate robots. One is the head, and the other is the torso. The head has the features you would find on a human: a nose, mouth, eyes, and even teeth. It's kind of creepy how human-like it is in the show. Adding on to that is the samurai-like helmet it dons with a crescent moon crest.

One thing, unlike traditional mechs, the shoulder plates look like African tribal shields, with that kind of stretched out lengthy oval shape. On that shoulder plating is the emblem for the Gurren-dan(Gurren Brigade), with its flaming red skull wearing... let's just call them Kamina shades(named after one of the main characters that wears the same thing).

Like I mentioned earlier, the Gurren Lagann consists of two separate robots. The Torso is called Gurren, Lagann being the head. The torso itself is also another head, wearing giant Kamina shades, and bearing a beastly set of teeth. The hip area of the Gurren Lagann has metal plates like that of samurai armor. Two plates protecting the thighs, the front plate and rear plate. The two plates on the side have the charcoal gray lining with a ridged goldenrod being the plate itself.

Running down to the legs, it looks like the Gurren Lagann has a Queen Mary on each calf. It has two flame-red metal plates along the left and right side, and a charcoal gray shin guard. It's kind of hard to describe the feet, so the only thing close enough would be the shape of an egg cut in half length-wise.

English 110 blog. 始め!

Well, it looks like this blog may be useful for something after all... First off:

VIDEO OF THE DAY
-------------------------

-------------------------
Okay, moving on!
-------------------------

So it has been quite a while since I last posted something on here, eh? Hahahaha. To be honest, I'm just really lazy, that's all. Most of the time I really don't want to just sit down and type stuff, like I'm doing right now.

Well yeah. Linquist is making us 'start' a blog for English. I think it's rather convenient, seeing as how I can just post up the homework here; instead of typing it in Word then printing out a hard copy. Meh, whatever floats your boat. Guess I'll have to use this more often, huh?

FIRST TANGENT: So I bought my new Chef Knife today. Dropped like $114 for it. That was with the discount, so you could say it was a really good deal. Muahahah. Now for it to just sit in the box for the next 3 weeks until I can use the damned thing.
-------------------------

All right, let's move on to the other interesting stuff: Anime and Manga.

Nothing really surprising in this department. New Anime, continuing Anime. You know the drill. zzzzzzzzzzzz

The one I'm particularly looking forward to right now is the adaptation of huke's Black Rock Shooter. The CM for it looks very promising, I can't wait! I'm also quite surprised at some of the other adaptations as well. ESPECIALLY OMAMORI HIMARI! YES. I am one fucking happy ass camper. haahahha.

Currently watching:
- Ookami Kakushi
- Durarara!
- Fairy Tail... not bad, I have to say.
- Hanamaru Youchien
- KATANAGATARI
- BAKEMONOGATARI
- Baka Testuto
..... and a bunch more that will take up the length of this page.

----------------------------------------------

That's it for now. More posts in the future(?)

Rough (2)day(s)

Man, today was pretty rough, we fucked up a lot, and I'm pretty sure I could have done better; I just wasn't prepared.

Fabrication class is pretty rough, so much stuff we need to do, and we can't half-ass anything in there either; because the things that we fabricate go to the other classes that need to use them to cook with.

Some problems here and there. Bone were still in the fillets, cartilage still on the chicken n stuff like that. We had to fix all that stuff before we could cryovac all them goodies... oh well..... Sous chef for Thursday... also Shellfish day, I wonder how it'll go.... oh yeah btw, i burned the hell outa my hand; from the middle of my thumb across my hand in a straight line. yeah, it hurts like a bitch!
=======================

NEW ANIME!

=======================

New season starts this week. Can't wait for some of the new ones, especially omamori himari... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm nekomimilol?


=======================

Haven't really been too happy for the past couple days; tired, grumpy, pissy, all that stuff. I guess its just that im not getting enough sleep...

=======================


Just making these posts nice and short, ill make longer ones when i have time.


for now, ciaosuu

Back to the Daily Grind!

First off, Im sorry for not posting on New Years, Ive been kinda busy hustlin and bustlin around so please, forgive me zzzzzz :3

VIDEO OF THE DAY
====================

Nana Mizuki <3
====================
But yeah, New years wasn't really anything special, just kinda kicked it with homies on vent and messed around. Little bit of sake muahaha but shhhhhhhh keep that a secret! HI MI TSU. Its only a couple bottles, DONT WORRY ABOUT IT. KeKeKe.

Moving on.....
====================

So I just got my hair cut again since it was getting a bit long and we have to keep our hair under caps during class @ all times. Well you should know why, you don't want hair in your food do you? hahahahah.

But yeah, the daily grind is rather boring.
====================
Alarm set @ 7:35AM... Hit snooze until 8:10AM... Shower... Eat... Off to Metro Station... Ride train for hour and a half to Pasadena... Walk about 10 minutes to school from station... 5 hours of class, no breaks... Chill a bit with classmates after class... Head back to station... Train for another hour and a half back... Home.
====================
that's quite literally it.

On another note, we fabricated chicken and fish today. Man, I have to say, eviscerating a fish is pretty fun... pretty bloody tho. Fabricating the chicken is pretty annoying tho, we have to cut all the cartilage and stuff off then cut them into the specific pieces that are needed. Airline breast, Supreme(SU-PREM) breat, French leg/thigh, Leg and Thigh Combo, etc. It's a fucking mess. Ran out of Thai Red Snapper so I had to pick up the big ass Striped Trout. De-fin that sucker, remove the scales, take out the gills and...

EVISCERATE! BAM. No joke, it's a bloody mess... Still feels awkward sticking my hand in there and just tearing out all of its insides.. wwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

=============

Tomorrow is another day, I better get some sleep after watching Fairy Tail and So-Ra-No-Wo-To!

Jaa na.

Rainy day go... what? Another day!?

Here's a little something to listen to while you read this post.


=======================================
みんなさん、げんき?

How's everyone doing? Pretty well, I hope. So yeah my head, neck, back and knees have been totally killing me since last night..

DAMN YOU RAIN! This happens every time it rains zzzzzzzz. oh well, Ive learned to deal with it so meh.

I actually slept a bunch today because of my headaches so i didnt really do anything. I did have some really good ramen tho, ill tell you that muah.

======================================

Tomorrow is New Years Eve... for us in the US anyway... I wonder how this year is gonna pass. I may end up just watching Red vs. White again on NHK or something. I really wanna go party, but my close friends arent party people (booze :P)

oh well, we'll see what happens, ne?

=====================================

As for the anime front, I'll keep this short.

Ladies versus Butlers! just got subbed... rather just went live for DDL. After checking out Random Curiosity, it seems just like another Kanokon in the making; with its fanservice and all... not sure I'll pick it up, but we'll see. It's downloading right now so......


I'm gonna go back to make some more tea and read some more RAW Yotsubato!... who needs it to be scanslated? It's pretty damn easy to make out... even with my 4 years of Japanese. I mean really?

=====================================

for now,

ciaosuuu

Rather Long Hiatus, No?

Wow, its been such a long time since I posted something here! NEW YEARS RESOLUTION: BLOG!? lol. Like that would be a real resolution(?)

Lets recap on my life a bit while its fresh in my head, ya?
Hmmmmmm..... where to start... where to start.....

WELL, one thing would be entering culinary school!
I wasn't really quite sure what to major in college for the longest time, then it hit me while watching TV... CULINARY SCHOOL. I mean, why not?
==========================================================
Man, I've met so many cool and new people after entering LCB. We've all only known each other for about 3 months or so, so far. Everyone in the class is like family to each other, we watch each other's backs n stuff. Share tools, mis out for each other, TEAMWORK! We just finished Intro to Baking, boy was that class fun and easy. Chef was really cool, and there weren't really much problems. I've learned to make so many different foods it's crazy, oh well, ONTO MEAT FAB AFTER BREAK! then prolly garde manger or something... it wouldnt really surprise me.
=========================================================
Well, other than Culinary school, nothing has really changed. Livin the life of a single boy living @ home :P


ONTO ANIME......========
Fall season was great, there were a lot of interesting new series like Nyankoi!, Kobato, To Aru Kagaku no Railgun, Tegami Bachi, Fairy Tail, Darker than Black S2, Seitokai no Ichizon, just to name a few.

I'm really looking forward to next season after watching some of the trailers for it... Mainly Omamori Himari! WOOOOOOOOO!

========================================================
So yeah I recently joined this Tinierme site. I LOVES IT. It's pretty cool. Playing cards all day, everyday, NO PROBLEM. Pretty addictive I must say, you should go check it out.

=======================================================

Well yeah Imma go back to surfing the web and listening to m-flo.
