K-ON First Impressions

K-ON, the show everyone has been talking about lately, seems to have really taken off.  For once in a long time I was able to hop on the bandwagon and watch as the new episodes came out. Though I must be honest, it really reminded me of a another Melancholy of Haruhi, not that its a bad thing.

I was really surprised to see that Mio became the top character of the show. I did not expect that XD, some otaku I am.  I think she is an awesome character, but Yui is the one who really made me laugh.

Animation in the series is great, character design is awesome, but honestly…story line did not really hit me too much.  I understand it is kinda slice of life, but it still does not grab me too much.  I hope I do not get flamed for saying that. I thought it was really funny that only after ep 3 or 4 came out I saw a Mio doujin already out XD. I have no idea if that is common with new shows like this or not.

Anyway……I love the show, going to keep watching it, I do recommend it to fans of Haruhi, you will really appreciate some of the minor similarities  ^^ Definitely going to do a follow up post based mainly on the characters here soon XD, so be prepared for that.

Not Dead Yet!!!!

Wow, it would seem people actually go to my little old blog even as I blissfuly move through my life doing….nothing XD.  I really do appreciate the views I have been getting since I have been away, and also appreciate the comments as well.

Good news though, I am back with renewed vigor.  (Bad news for those who hate me XD) Those who read and paid attention knew I had dial up *sigh* Though that time is over, due to the advancement in my area technology I have achieved one step closer to DSL, it is EVDO.  If you don’t know, google it XD, that is not what this post is about.

All in all, I have been able to keep up with some great anime shows lately, kept more informed of whats going on, and overall dabble my virign feet in the glories of broadband internet.  Which is also good news for the readers meaning I can expand out my blog post topics, shared, media, blah blah blah.

Alright now down the nitty gritty. During my absense, I am sure  my fellow bloggers must have thought “WTF!?” why is that loser still on my blogroll he does nothing.  Which I do not blame you if you removed me.  For those that actually kept me on the blogroll, thank you ^^As a apology to those who I just sorta….blah left I keep my blogroll the same, I do not change one thing, it helps advertise the blogs I used to (and still) love.  If you have any issues, please contact me to resolve them.

As for the blog upgrades and changes.  I will be posting as I have before, getting a feel for posting again.  I might not post everyday as before, but I shall try if I am able.  I am going to change the look of the blog here soon, but first I want to work on my content mainly.

That is all though ^^ please come back and read my blog.  I shall try my best again!!!

Seasonal Desktops

Yesterday I was fairly bored and was browsing through my wallpapers I have saved to my computer.  Upon the searching I was in my head trying to picture a nice desktop featuring something…well nice, but nothing too perverted.  I mean yes a half naked anime girl is always nice to have, but not all the time.  Then it hit me.  Halloween is coming up soon, so how about a Halloween wallpaper.  Luckily I had a few and chose the one above.

Most of you know what my desktop looks like, so no need to give a screenshot, plus I am sure most would much rather have a wallpaper without my icons all over it XD.  The timing for a Halloween theme computer was good.  Remember Mabinogi?  That MMO I posted about some time ago, well my girlfriend decided she wanted to play it with me.  She downloaded it on her crazy fast internet nearly 800 Kb/s…*sigh* mine is…3 Kb/s….curse her internet XD.

I got the game updated and noticed that even in MMO land people are decorating for Halloween with the town banners, pumpkins in the town square, as well as the Halloween events taking place.  Though during my play I was showing Michelle (gf) how to play.  Though she figures things out quickly…she is a genious.  Even had a few romantic moments here and there.

My question, do you enjoy holiday events in your MMO games?  Do you decorate your desktop for different holidays?

WordPress Polls!!!!

This is pretty nice, I was just doing my post the other day and took notice of a new “Add Poll” option in the editor.  Those of you who use wordpress are aware of some of the issues posting polls.  WordPress does not allow javascript or some HTML tags due to security issues so when making polls there are only certain sites that work.  Polldaddy.com was one of the main sites.  Well, finally WordPress has made it built into their editor making polls easy to add to your blog post.  I had always wanted to do polls here and there on the blog, but was too lazy to do a lot of searching for one that would actually work.Now that I can do them, allow me to try a poll out for a test run.

For those wondering, this is a picture that a poll has been done on Danny Choo.  Just needed something to test the new polling thing out…..wonder how I am supposed to get the poll itself centered now XD.
