K.o.R

( A beach ball, papier mache, foam, paint and permanent marker. Wanna see what you get? )

Having finally recovered from Ayacon, here's a bunch of pics for you to peruse. Captions when I get round to it.

Stuff of note... (most of these refer to at least one picture in the gallery - try and match them!)

* Virgin Trains have very fancy trains. Calling one of them "Virgin Invader" was not the best decision ever though.
* It helps if you finish building your venue before holding conventions and such there.
* Go Team Retard is as good as ever on Anime Name That Tune.
* Haruko Momoi is truly amazing in concert, I've never seen someone be that energetic for over an hour. And she sings "Video Killed The Radio Star" pretty damn well for a non-English speaker.
* Tons of awesome cosplay as always
* Warwick's eating facilities suck donkey balls.
* The dealers' room, good God the dealers' room. Among my haul was a Bleach figurine - three guesses which character.
* On a brief excursion to the games room for a few rounds of Rock Band I heard the most epic rendition of Ramblin' Man. The guy didn't even need to look at the screen.
* Awesome parties and far far too much alcohol for the win.
* There Will Be Brawl is something else you Zero Punctuation viewers should check out.
* If it's for charity, people will in fact pay £50 for a cardboard box painted red (Because it's three times better than a regular box, natch).
* Team Rocket finally captured Pikachu, and all they had to do was cough up £105. They could have made more than that winning a single trainer battle!
* There are people willing to do a burlesque routine in front of a crowd of anime fans.
* Taiko drumming is awesome.
* Square-Enix and Capcom have money in the bank if they ever did "Resident Fantasy VII: Aeris Rising".
* Even the totally straight-laced student council president has to kick back and down Smirnoff Ice once in a while. Dealing with Sunohara on a daily basis will do that to a girl.
* Coventry weather follows peoples' moods perfectly. The morning of leaving, it rained.

Roll on Amecon 2010!

^_^

Win.

Well this whole British Summer Time lark sure is playing merry hell with my internal clock. It's 6:08 and it's still light outside.

I've gone and accidentally obtained ( another one )

53,595!

Ok, I have two replacement disks being delivered as I managed to be unlucky enough to have both my 250gig drives fail on me. Question is, should I use these replacements or flog them on eBay and buy a different model (not that there's any reason these should fail...)?

( So much win! )

Albatross18 Closing on March 10th.

I like dreams, and I quite like cablecars. However please warn me next time said dream cablecar is about to go over what appears to be a chalk-faced Grand Canyon. In Germany. Especially when you've also gone to the trouble of detailing the cablecar as one that isn't actually attached to the cable. But it was awesome at the same time as being utterly terrifying, and it convinced me to get up fairly sharpish, so I'll let you off.

There's 3 inches of snow outside and everything is sort of dyed orange due to the street lamps. It's coming down like a blizzard, giving the impression that the air itself is orange.

For everyone who had a bad day today, have a kitten. In fact, even if you didn't have a bad day.

Episode two hundred. That means this show has been going (and I have been watching) for nearly four years.

I received:

Death Note manga complete collection
Hidamari (Sunshine) Sketch manga vol. 1
Watchmen special edition graphic novel
Assorted funds in the form of WH Smith and Waterstone's gift cards
4 shirts
A radio controlled dragonfly

Due to my brother living in a different county with his family, we get a visit to/from them on Boxing day and so effectively have two Christmas Days. Which is nice.

I got a 9800GT. I have TR Underworld set to EVERYTHING ON SHINY settings and there's not even a hint of slowing down.

Do not piss off Captain Kurotsuchi. That is all.

I know it's a week late but...



...this just reminded me how much I want this.

The tune in the Ready-Brek adverts is the Leekspin song (Ievan Polka). Now I have this image of Orihime twirling a spoon over a bowl of yummy porridge in my head.

I think someone will be happy at what the postman just dropped through my door:

( What was it? )
