Meow…. I Mean Woof, Dog With Identity Issues
Tweeting In Style
The Internet can be an addicting place. Loads of sources full of information. Some good, some bad, some accurate, others… well you know. So how to narrow some of this information down to a more manageable size is a good question. You can setup an iGoogle page with a number of widgets and links as an all in one place. But what if you prefer not to leave your browser open. (more…)
Shirts With A Creative Flare
Airport shirt, originally uploaded by P-Shinobi.
Looking for a shirt with a unique design? Check out some of the designs at www.boomslank.com. I thought the designs fresh. This particular one “Airport” I like for the details and the fun idea of flying via insect.
Can one be in the closet about their figurine collection?
I’m sitting here staring at my blog as well as reading other blogs this evening. I’m pretty hooked on Anime, Manga and figurines. I have found the Internet to be a dangerous things when it comes to locating awesome, cool and kawaii things related to Anime. Of course, I would have to get more addicted to perhaps the more costly of Otaku items, figurines. I’ve looked at other collectibles and there are a few I would not mind having. Most of the time I forget about them till its to late.
So I’m sitting here thinking that I don’t really let people I work with know much about my collection of figurines. Maybe one or two but that is about it. I may sneak a small one into the office some time to show off but usually that does not happen. I think if people knew the extent of my collection, they might think me strange. No, I by no means have a collection numbering in the hundreds. Don’t have the funds for that or the space.
K-On! Nendoroid Collection
What prompted my thoughts on this was my recent delivery of Asuka and Black Rock Shooter. I have yet to unbox them as I have not figured where to store them. I have a corner that is now practically stacked to the ceiling with the boxes. (I should inventory that pile someday) I also have a list that I keep updating with names of the figures that I want to add to the collection. I check the figures online frequently in the hopes that the reservations are not closed before I decide I have enough funds to buy them. It’s a good thing that I have not ventured into collecting Dolfies. I’d have to explain to the kids, sorry, Saber was calling me to rescue her from the store overseas. We’ll eat next month.
I would think it awesome if I met another Anime fan like myself at work so we can trade stories and perhaps collectibles. I hear rumors of one or two around so who knows. I’m happy I get very little ribbing about my Anime addiction. I enjoy watching the occasional episode during lunch at my desk. Maybe I should pull out an episode or two of Yosuga no Sora?
Well, I guess for now, I’ll remain in the closet for the most part regarding my figurine collection. Sorry girls, I’ll introduce you to the guys at work another day.
Kokonoe Rin
A voice to hear…
A while back I wrote a quick blurb on a girl who landed a record deal using just her voice and 4 iPhones. Well, today I did some searching to see just what became of her and WOW, she sounds great! Kim Yeo Hee of South Korea is rising very quickly on my list of favorite artists. I may not under stand the language but the emotions in the singing I think are universal and her voice is something to hear.
Have you heard her before? What do you think? Should she release an English CD as well?

House Cleaning… Organizing your desktop
I was reading on a fellow bloggers site the other day and he had a good article posted… “Organizing Your Desktop” It has 
been sometime since I went looking into 3rd party applications that would allow you to take further advantage of windows features. The last time I looked I was a bit turned off. Most seemed to be filled with bugs and the websites were turnoffs with the amount of ads.
Some of those companies are still around with websites that are just as ad-filled as ever and then there are some who have shown great improvement. So before I go on, I won’t take full credit for the content on this post. Kairu the Otaku deserves credit for the post idea. I just wanted to take a moment an expand on it with links to some of what I found in my most recent research.
Typically my PC desktop is an icon nightmare. If its installed there is probably and icon. Interesting article, drop the URL shortcut on the desktop. Quick text file note to self, its there. You get the idea, it was a cluttered nightmare. Sorry, I’m far to embarrassed to post a picture of that nightmare. Lets just say there were 62 shortcuts, files and folders containing more present.
I started by first looking for something that would help me cleanup my desktop. Sure, I could trash all the icons and recreate the ones I wanted to keep, but as a computer tech type, I’m automatically lazy. Why do something manually when a script will do. With that in mind, I started using “Fences” by the same company that makes Stardock. It will connect your icons into groups and even allow you to hide those named groups from view. I was beside myself when I saw an actual desktop when it finished. The free version suits my needs for now. Worth giving it a try.
With all of the icons gone, I needed some way of launching applications, without going back to the way it was. Sure, I could use the grouped icons but I am on a roll. Lets go for slick in appearance and neat as well. For that I turned to Rocketdock. Much like Objectdock, but I believe you get more features without a cost. This allowed me to place most of what I use in one convenient place.
Next, I decided to tackle the wallpaper itself. I got lazy here and opted to create my own. Since I am also a WoW fan, I went with my mains race crest, Night Elf. Threw in some transitional color that would compliment the crest and there you have it. Last, I needed to do something with the gaping hole on my screen that was not ocupied by anything. For this I turned to one other application, Rainmeter. It has a number of capabilities that I hope to draw on, such as monitoring CPU and RAM, etc. It is also very customizable for fitting needs. For now I took the clock that comes with the default package.
Now that Kairu has stirred this up, I guess I will have to further fine tune my desktop. I’ve still not moved over to Windows 7 so I imagine there is even more fun there. I may end up getting Object Desktop for all the features it boast and its price tag. We’ll see, Win 7 may be fine for me. So, want to see the end result? Here it is, as of today. I have dual monitors so this is just half. The other looks identical minus the dock and clock.

Busy as a bee
I’ve been feeling a bit bummed lately that I have not been able to post as reguraly as I would like. Work and family life has been keeping me on my toes of late. I have been able to keep up with some of my anime viewing list at least and order a couple figurines here and there. My appologies for not posting the Summer 2010 show listing. Just to busy to commit to it.
One nicely put together list can be found at Chartfag. It presents a nice easy view of the shows coming soon.
Ok, so I’ve shared some of the links I used to see what is happening in anime this Summer. What do I think of the shows so far? Well, to be honest, I have not dove into the Summer season. I’m still trying to get caught up on the Spring season. There is one series I just had to peak at and that is “Highschool of the Dead”. You could say it was like driving past a car wreck. You just have to peek. Well, HotD is NOT a car wreck. Plenty of flesh ripping, head smashing, running away from zombies. I was thinking I might pass on this series when I saw the first hints of it a few months back but instead I have enjoyed what I have seen so far. If that is your type of action, check it out.
So for a quick review using a simple method. Here is what I think of the Spring season releases.
Senkou No Night Raid – Watched one episode and decided to pass on the series…
Hakuouki Shinsengumi Kitan – Pretty good story line. Been watching at lunch. Like it.
Arakawa Under the Bridge – Strange, like me. I really enjoy this series for its blatant weirdness.
Giant Killing – Did not think I would get into this sports anime but now I find myself routing for the team. Good show.
Rainbow – This is a difficult one to watch. Really can make one think and can be direct at times. Intentionaly violent.
Mayoi Neko Overrun! – Fun series. Strange it seems to be more about the friends than the cat character.
Seikon no Qwaser – Umm, yeah. Blatant excuse to flash people. (Especially if you catch the directors version)
I’m ashamed, from the Winter season, I’m still watching these:
Yumeiro Patissiere – not to bad, light hearted. I watch an episode to improve my mood or after a really heavy anime.
Winter Sonata – YES, I am watching this, slowly but I am watching it. You can say it is a soap opera and I won’t disagree.
What am I reading… not much but I do keep adding to my library. In my backpack at the moment is Blood+ Volume 2 and Spice and Wolf volume 1.
Well, that’s a quick update. I’d like to do more here so if you have a suggestion or 2, feel free to let me know.
Favorites of the Spring Season
What a busy year this has been! Hard to believe it has almost been 6 months. Wow! I have not had much time to post here and I regret that because the anime world has not shown signs of slowing down. Sure, they are hitting some rough spots. We can all help by buying copies of the shows we like. Also, let the companies know what you like, see something you think would be good here, let them know. So, with that, what would I like to see distributed here? Here are some of my favorites:
Kaichou wa Maid-sama
Durarara!!
Kimi ni Todeke
I was going to add Baka to Test Shokanju to my list but to my joy Funimation has picked this one up.
Aside from the brief list above, I have a few others that I have been enjoying…
RAINBOW – while a bit violent, the story line seems to be off to an interesting start.
K-On!! – So far so good. I actually like this a bet more than last season.
Winter Sonata – Deep story. Very soap opera like but I’ve enjoyed it nonetheless.
Working! – Funny… you can see hints of other anime that this company has worked on in the style of characters.
Special A – Watching this on Video on Demand (VOD). Cracks me up. Similar humor to Ouran Host Club.
The Skull Man – Mystery adventure type. Seen the first 4 thus far and enjoyed each one. (VOD)
Mazinkaiser – Ahh, nothing like a flash back to old school style. Felt as though I was watching something from the days of Voltron, etc.
I’ve also pulled a few out of the collection as well…
Code Geass
Gundam Wing
So I’ve been watching a few, only just getting into the Spring releases… figures as the Summer ones I’m sure are about to come out. So what do I do when I’m not watching? Aside from work and family, I have been reading the occasional Manga as well.
Negima
Blood+ (the novels)
Onidere – not sure why I’m reading this one…
Cross Over – interesting how the characters look to be right out of Suzuka. (yeah, same author, I know)
Still collecting figures, thats a hard habit to break. Thanks to some other bloggers <cough>zen<cough> for poisoning me. Also watching the sales racks so I can increase my anime collection as well… Now I just need a bigger house.
End of a Season
I realize that I am perhaps one of the most infrequent posters to an anime blog. My appologies, I can only say “life happens”. But that aside, I just finished watching a number of anime shows that I thought were pretty good. I’ll list them here. (in no particular order)
Ladies x Butlers – I went into this thinking it was going to be kind of lame. To my suprise, it had a number o humerous scenes and mini story lines. I wished it was longer than it was though. There were a few loose ends left open on the last episode.
Cross Game – if I were to pick a well done anime for the season, 2 actually, it would be this one. This show follows a group of friends as they grow up. Through their losses, challenges and changes. The friends are all baseball players striving to win the big tournament. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a show with a well played out storyline.
Special A – in a similar light to Ouran Host Club, this is fun series that take a light hearted look at the lives of a group of top honor students and their inter-relationships. It is on my “buy list”.
Skull Man – mystery suspense. Just started watching this series. Looks to be a government bullies citizens and some fight back type series.
His and Her Circumstances – He and she fall in love after butting heads. Eventually come to realize they are very much alike. Both fought to keep others from seeing their true selves until they met each other and fell in love.
Glass Mask – Just started watching last night. Girl who loves plays has a life changing experience one night while working. At first I thought why am I clicking play on this video on demand feature. I even fast forwarded through some. That was when I decided to back up an see what I had just missed. The main character is so passion filled with respect to plays, she dove into the bay to retrieve a ticket she had won on a bet. It is from this point on the series begins in a different direction.
In Manga, I try to keep going where I can. IPhone and scantilations work well. Here is a quick list of what I have been reading:
Negima!
Kimi ni Todeke – long drawn out boy meets girl and live blossums story. Saw the anime, hope they make another season to continue the story.
Blood (the novel series)
Yatsuba&! – this is cute, reminds me of one of my kids. Cracked me up to hear it mentioned recently in the anime, Durarara!!
Do You Want To Try – finished and wondered why I read it.
Bamboo Blade
Onidere – why I am reading this, I’m not sure. Seems to be a repeat of the same thing over and over.

SD Gundam Sangokuden
SD Gundam Sangokuden – April 3, 2010 – Sunrise – Retelling of the Chinese Literary classic Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Characters are represented as Gundams.
