Nintendo Wii

I now own a Nintendo Wii, after sraping together money for a year or so.

Super Smash Brothers Brawl is awesome. Even more so when you have a sibling to complete Subspace Emissary with.

That is all.

Exams are over! +shameless advertising

I am happy to announce that my papers have ended yesterday. The most difficult module (Europe of the Dictators) for me turned out to have had the easiest paper and the easiest module (Intro to Japanese studies) turned out to have had the most difficult paper. Life is full of lulz.

This would probably be one of those rarer holidays where I don't have any work. I turned down a job offer to return to a company I used to work at so that I could focus on studying for my JLPT, and also because I'm intending to get a Wii. I don't know if its a good or bad thing that I'm not working this holiday as I'm already feeling pretty restless. Perhaps some volunteer work or big drawing projects would cure that.

Well, I actually did intend to spend this holiday teaching one of my ex-students Japanese, but she had cca committments so thats out of the window. I'm still putting this offer up though, so if anyone reading this is interested or knows anyone who is interested in picking up some Japanese do contact me! My rates are insanely cheap (6-8 bucks an hour depending on circumstances). The rates are so cheap because a) I don't claim to be incredibly good in the language, and b) I'm not doing this for the money, but rather as a teaching experience and so that I would have something to do during the holidays instead of wake up, exercise, lulz, computer, go out, sleep, every single day.

Well, for anyone reading this, enoy your holidays!

Impulse purchases

I was at Causeway Point yesterday and happened to stumble upon YUI's latest album, so I decided to purchase it because shes a fantastic singer and yet I do not own any of her merchandise. But as I was picking up the CD, I saw from the corner of my eye the kanji for "Nakagawa Shoko" peeking out behind some other CDs. So I bought that as well. I am now the proud owner of the CDs of 2 really beautiful and talented singers whose songs I have been following for some time, yay.


The 2 albums in question.


Shoko-tan! The little mario-like sequence at the bottom is actually from one of the videos.
Isn't she adorable?



I finally own a YUI album. That piece of paper on the bottom is actually a sticker.
I sure ain't sticking that on my laptop.

Truth to be told I've never listened to these 2 albums before, so it gave me the opportunity to rip some high quality music into my player. I spent some time at night listening to them and they were well worth the money. Not to mention how both of them came with DVDs that included PVs and "making of" videos.

Obama wins the elections

I really have no comments on this, but I'm sticking this into my blog just because its one of the biggest events in the world this year. It would have been a more lulz entry featuring jokes poking fun at Palin if McCain had won. But everyone expected Obama to win, and he did. Boring, but good for the world I guess.

Whoever wins, I'm sure he'll do a much better job than Bush.
