Yes, Ritsu. They are guitars. You deserve a cookie.

After hearing all this whoop-la about K-ON!, I broke down and actually waste some time watching. I went into this session with some sad misconception that this was a show about a J-pop girl group, all emotional and over-dramatized, and their struggles to be accepted as real people, find love etc… not actual musicians trying to form a coherent act and to not suck.

I’ve been toying around with this software intermittently, because my ADHD in denial never really allowed me to leave this program open for more than one hour. Eventually, I forgot about it. But now that I’m loving a couple of songs too much (guess which series… Ar Tonelico, of course…), I felt like going one step forward and start singing the songs myself… Through Vocaloid. >_> No worries, you won’t hear me sing here any time soon.

Just a few of the 48(+) exceptionally cute ladies

Now normally I wouldn’t post such news, but since I am attending New York Anime Festival it has got me all pumped up! :D

Triangle is the third and latest release by the cute technopop trio Perfume. A band with an upbeat and charismatic sound, Perfume is definitely the type of music some people may love but others may hate. Triangle, containing 12 songs with 3 singles, was released on July 8, 2009 and reached 1 on the Oricon Daily Charts, 1 on the Oricon Weekly Charts, and 2 on the Oricon Monthly Charts. Perfume was something new to my ears when I first started listening to them about a year ago. Triangle hasn’t strayed far from the previous Perfume albums, which in my opinion is a good thing.

Beause Touhou-related pics are easiest to find on danbooru.

Well, after a looooong day of idleness and a looooong night of pangya, I think that I should follow suit to allllllllllllll the numerous fag- anibloggers out there and wish everyone a fuckin’ great christmas, although we’re on Boxing Day already. Aw, belated wishes are fine too.

Presents? I got a bottle of Baileys, some lottery scratch tickets and some cash. At least they know I like Baileys, heh! The proportion is astounding: every guest has had presents, ie. one. Yeah, my town is pretty much dead, friends are all in holidays or away or something, and mum was working all day, so it was a pretty ronery xmas. At least there are enough great ppl online, especially my GGS guild mates from pangya. And yes, christmas is definitely underrated ^^

What kind of presents did you get? Ah wait, I don’t give a damn, unless it’s ARIA-related. :D

Up next, new year’s… Heh, more champagne will flow! Fireworks are too expensive, but it’s always fun to see those facetious capitalists in the hood literally burn their money away for shits and giggles.

But as you can guess (read the post title, doofus) I didn’t post only to wish you half-dozen a merry xmas, but look here:

A CHALLENGER APPEARS!

More after the jump.

It’s pretty obvious where I get most of my stuff from.

Yah, as predicted, I got too comfortable after my two Venice trips, my DS kept me pretty busy too (I will soon rant about that shitty FFT A2 here), and the backlog grew bigger and bigger: as of now, I need to watch/blog over ten episodes, and report about the two trips as well…

But today, as I got yet another package, I thought I could start clearing up my long backlog by brag posting about my recent acquisitions. Got a few CDs lying around for over two months!
