Observations of the (Past) Week II

Because I forgot to post this on the previous blog on this but really should have remembered, I'm giving it it's own.

Before I begin, I have said time and again that I am not an otaku.  Beetchie, you're not an otaku either.  We're anime lovers and certain things we love about Japan but we're not sad, little maubies.

And thus begins my observation:

On "Otaku":

This is very specific to the American weople who believe themselves to be "otaku".  How come...they're mostly maubies? Akward, self-righteous maubies who are misguided to label themselves as such?

I tried hard to curb my embarrassment when this week on American Idol (hey, it's that season again and Momma HOchie has control on the television, and therefore while I eat dinner I watch whatever she has on), my eyes received the following lashing:



::sigh::  Don't make anime loving people look like idiots, you idiot.

It's appalling and reminds me of many of the people I knew.  What.  a.  freaking.  nightmare.

Ugh, I have a headache.

On Celebrities:

I'm certain Armageddon is upon us.  2012 is just around the corner and it has me seriously worried - misguided  Conspiracy Theorist that I am.  Somewhere out there is someone blogging about what an idiot I am to be making a mockery out of Conspiracy Theorists.  Heh. 

What I am uncertain about however, is the number of celebrity deaths in the short span of time.  Scarier is the fact that many of them are under 30.  What the heck is going on? Last year was the bad year to be a celebrity and not much seems to be changing for 2010.

What a horribly, tragic week this has been for Haiti and many of us in the world too.

Currently listening to: Not sure.  Is that the fish tank filter or is it raining?

Wow.

How cool would this be...





A Frickin' Nerv cell phone!!!!!!!

Stop hating on us, you Japanese bastards with your Japanese Only Limited Edition Bullshart!

H1, I maintain that I am not an Otaku but who would deny the awesomeness of this?!

"It's Written All Over Your Face...

...you just want my headphones, don't you?"

Justin Law, it's true. I do want your headphones and thanks to Gen Frien', I have a pair like them now.

My Etymotics conked out on me a few weeks ago, so I finally decided to try some Shure headphones that I've wanted for a while. Of course, until the day comes when I get the $600.00 pair (which I don't think will ever happen), I will never be satisfied.

I'm happy with my new Shure headphones for the most part - the sound is clear but the ear pieces are kind of hurting my ears (because in addition to tiny carney hands, apparently I've tiny carney ear holes as well) but struck upon a bit of genius before I ordered them to make the already awesome Shure headphones even more awesome...

Why not commission my talented artist friend Gen to craft some Justin Law headphones for me?!

She's my talented artist friend but she's also one of my best friends, and insisted that she'd make them and give them to me as a Birthday pyo.

I. love. them.

It took about 2 tries before getting it on the 3rd due to my overwhelming demands and pestering but here's the set we decided on:





Of course, it was hard with the manga artist's and the tv series artists' inconsistencies and getting just the right picture but Gen did the best she could and they're fabulous as expected.

And of course, the day after I got them from her (they fit right on the Shure's so neatly!), episode 36 of Soul Eater came out and there is a screen shot of the headphones is perfectly clear and detailed. Grrr!

Well, Gen will try again to craft them as seen in Episode 36 in the near future, but for now, I'll keep rockin' these hotness ones I have on the train, so even more people can look at me and think me crazy.

No otaku has jumped me yet for my J. Laws.

H1, I am no Otaku!
