I love Moo cards. <3

Can't wait to get mine in the mail. Probably be awhile to actually buy some, but I will when the funds are available.

Moooooo.

Also, this layout SO suits my username, don't you think? ;P

Later!

I rarely ever update this thing. I've been so busy lately with getting ready for finals, future plans, etc. I still do ocassionally come by here, so I don't fully neglect this thing.

Nothing much to say except for I'm really addicted to .hack//G.U.

I hope you're all doing okay. :]

What was the last game you played?

Videogame-wise, the Star Fox game that just came out for the DS. Was playing it with Elliot, Cam, Dave, and Armand. It's a fun game! The controls are a bit complex at first, but then you get used to it.

Sports-wise, tennis. Mind you, I've never really played tennis before, but Mike taught me. And it's fun. :] I might play it more often.

Argh, once again, I've been far too busy to update, since Otakon is TOMORROW!!!

So I'm rushing a bit with packing and everything. It didn't help that Mike and Jeremy decided to drop by for a bit to "star power" (or play Guitar Hero). But it was fun having them while I packed. xD

So when I get back, I will write up a huge entry with pics. Expect that~

Until then, take care, and I'll see you all later~ <3

EDIT: A QotD before I leave!

What is your current computer desktop image? Let's see it!

I love Rozen Maiden. And I love these two dolls! They're so gorgeous~ :3

And now off to dreamland I go. Night! Have a good weekend! <3

Go to one random page in Explore Audio. What CD do you see that you're most interested in listening to?

Anything by the Dresden Dolls. I've heard one song, and I really liked what I heard. So I'mma try to find more of their music. *nod*

I've been a bit busy lately, which is why I've only been answering the QotD. :x I promise to post something more interesting later!

Bedtime for me. Later~

EDIT-

This video is possibly the BEST Musashi Gundou parody EVER! So hilarious! Just had to add it in to this post!

And now I go for reals. Night!

What or who is your favorite product mascot? Why?

That would be Yauconita from the Yaucono coffee.

It's been around in the tv and other ads (in Puerto Rico, of course) for as long as I can remember. Yauconita danced in the commercials, and when I was a kid, I loved it! Still love it now~  Also, the coffee is the best damn coffee I've ever had! So there ya have it. ;P

Okay, so I lied. I'm not gonna write about my outing earlier today. Because that would involve lots of typing. And I'm feeling very lazy at the moment. So that post will have to wait. ;P

So even though today didn't go as planned for it to be one of the better days this week (though it still kinda was, since I got to hang out with Sam), I got early birthday presents in the mail! One from my older brother, Ryudo, and the other one from my boi boi, Kenji. :3

Ryudo got me the big prinny that recently came out in Japan!! I knew he was going to send me something Disgaea-oriented, but I didn't think this plushie would be it! I'm very happy and pleased. :3 Gonna have to call him when he's awake to thank him!

Now look at the huge prinny compared to the small one I already had! The thing is freaking HUGE. XBOX HUEG even!

I got a card along with the prinny. Ryudo said that if it rained, he would slash the clouds for me. Not exactly sure how that would work, but alright. xD Maki also wrote in it, which I thought was awesome. :D

Kenji got me this Alphonse bobblehead. Which as you all can see, is really adorable. :3 He's even holding a kitten too~ So cute!

These two are the most awesome bobbleheads ever!

I put Al right next to Kenshiro on my dresser. Yea, I know, the most unlikely people to be next to each other, but hey, it works for me! Joe is still next to my laptop. Who knows, maybe Al and Joe will switch places? :D

Oyea, also got a oh-so-cute-card-that-will-give-me-cavities card from Kenji. xD; It was really sweet of him. :3 I'm really lucky to have someone like him. <3

And now it's bedtime for me. Nighty night!

If you could open any sort of restaurant, what would it be like?

It would be a restaurant that showcases Puertorrican food, but it also has food from the Caribbean. Of course I'll be one of the cooks, since I know a lot of Puertorrican dishes! It'd be excellent! It'd only be the best restaurant ever~ :D :D :D Gahhh, now I'm hungry just thinking about it! >.<

In other news, Nintendo reveals Elite Agents partial songlist. I really don't know what to think about this. :x I will still import the Japanese one, because it has a lot of great songs. But...WHY GOD. WHY DID THEY CHOOSE LINKIN PARK?! >:O "Oyeah, let's put an emo band in thar, it'll be gud lolol". NO. BAD NINTENDO, BAD! >:[ Grahhhh!!

And now I'm off to dinner. Later~

This only one game of the Touhou series, which is made by Team Shangai Alice. Haven't really read much of the game, only played it. It's a mage girls fighting games (oh Kiros, you and your magic girl fetishes~). Which is really interesting, since some of the concepts of the game are very well thought out. It's original, challenging (especially when only playing it on a keyboard), and not to mention fun. Which is why I like this little game. :]

Like in every fighting game, there's a gauge in the bottom of the screen. This is your magic gauge. Once you use magic attacks, it will go down until there isn't anything anymore. Then all you can do is melee attacks. The gauge does replenish itself after a short while, but it's wise not to waste it all. Unless you have some killer attack that'll finish your opponent off. There are also "Spell Cards" which you drop when the enemy attacks you hard enough to make you fall on the ground. You can also gain them by doing the same. You can use these with various attacks. I don't know the details of these spell cards yet, since I've just started playing the game. >.>; I'll have to ask Kiros about that or read about it somewhere.

Now on to the different modes of the game.

Story Mode is of course, going through the game and progressing with the story. Which I can't understand one bit because it's in lolmoon language. I REALLY need to brush up on my Japanese some more. >.>;

Arcade Mode is just going through, beating the crap out of these girls with no story. GREAT FUN!! :D xD

Duel Human is their fancy way of saying "2 Player Mode". Which unless you have controller adaptors to plug into your computer, I wouldn't recommend playing it on just the keyboard. 1 Player is challenging enough as it is. Can you imagine having two people at the same keyboard? No thnx.

Duel CPU is just...beating the crap out of the computer. Not much more to say here.

Practice Mode is where you learn NOT to suck. Which I still find myself going there every so often because I have no idea how to do some attacks. >.>;

Replay Mode is a nifty feature that lets you view matches that you previously took part in. Only if you remember to save them though. Kinda useful for when you want to see what the hell you did wrong. In this particular picture, I was practicing with Youmu, this sword chick. She has a lot of neat little attacks, but they're oh-so-hard to pull off! This is just one of the few screens where I'm not getting my ass handed over to me.

Ah yes, this is what REALLY happens in about every match. This game (and not just this game, but ANY fighting game) is so hard to play with a keyboard, since there's so many keys that you have to press, and do it quickly! I'm probably gonna look up where to find an adaptop to plug in a controller. Much easier for me. *nod*

Music Room is just what it sounds like. Option to go and listen to the game's music. Which the music is very nice. I really like track #5. Uhh...can't really name it because loldelicious moon language! It reminds me of the music from the anime Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito. Now that I mention that, this game makes me want to watch the anime. :o

Result and Option are pretty self-explanotory, so I won't explain those. ;P

Now on to the two characters I like at the moment. :D

Sakuya Izayoi (the one on the left) is kick-ass. Most of her magic attack involve throwing loads of magic knives. There's even this nifty attack where she freezes the knives in one place, so then you can lure the enemy into place and WHAM! YOU BE SLICED, BITCH! It's really nifty! Not to mention that some of her knives bounce off walls, so you can hit the enemy more times.

She also has these neat melee attacks. This one reminds me of Leona from King of Fighters. I guess it's one of the reasons I like Sakuya. >.>;

Patchouli Knowlege (on the left) is another awesome character in the game. She looks kinda defenseless, but she's a powerhouse. I'm guessing she's one of the bosses of the game? Since almost all of her attacks are really powerful and don't require that much magic to use. I don't know, I'll have to look into it.

Her various fire, ice, and tornado attacks kinda remind me of Dizzy from Guilty Gear. She kinda acts like her too.

And that's all I have to say about this great little game. Wish I could say more,  but it's really hard to understand when you can't even read in that language. :x I might post more as I learn it!

Next  post (once again, unless another QotD comes up) will be on my outing with the wonderful Sam! :D Until next post~ <3

Play any instrument or speak any language, which do you choose?
Question submitted by cruftbox.vox.com.

Tough choice. Seeing as I love both languages and music. :x

With language, well, I could learn whichever language to communicate with the world. Not to mention that I love learning different languages and learning about the culture to understand people even better.

But on the other hand, music is a universal language, understood by all. Instruments played make people feel a certain emotion understood by all. And that's just the beauty of music.

So I guess I would pick play any instrument to make wonderful music that everyone would love.
