FUMOFFU!
So I know last week I said I was going to post more regularly…well, I guess posting one week after the last time I posted is more regular then I have been updating over the summer, so….YAY!

I also said I might have pictures and stuff up, but I really don’t feel like it… not at the moment anyway.

I miss the old days of myotaku… I might quit blogging here. Most of my old friends have gone, and I just don’t feel like updating all the time. I still don’t like VV either. I’ll stay on theotaku system, contributing to the odd caption competition and wotnot, but I think my blogging days are effectively coming to an end…we’ll see.


Ah well.


The last week went pretty well for me. I met up with a couple of very good friends on Saturday. The first, Ines, I used to work with back in spring. It was really good to see her again, and we had ice cream at this Italian place and chatted for about two hours. Then I met up with Meredith, who I worked with at Camp over the summer, and we walked around London for a bit, and then went and chatted at length over several pints of brew. It was enjoyable.
It was also quite a good day for me, partly because I managed to get my old job (more on this in a minute) and partly because I managed to get Junk vol 7 manga (which completes that series) and Appleseed vol 3 manga. I also picked up the Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu box set for a decent price too. I love Fumoffu, it makes me laugh so hard. I managed to resist buying the series until the box set was released, unlike a whole lot of other series which I collect and then the box set gets released at a later date for so much cheaper…take RahXephon for example…the series was originally released way back in 2004. I didn’t even take an interest in it until earlier this year. they were selling the series off cheap (about £10 a disc for about 7 discs in total), so I thought “sweet”. Then the other day they released the Box Set, WITH the movie, for about £30. that’s a £40 loss on my part. And this was 4 years after they originally released the series on dvd!!!! WTH people?

Anyways, got my job back. I started on Monday. Its kinda nice to go back to a job that I know how to do and don’t have to worry about looking around for a new job, but I already know I'm gonna hate going through the routine over and over…still, if it means I can get out to America again next summer, so be it. the other thing that depresses me a little about going back to the store is that 90% of the people I used to work with there have left, and the other 10% are pretty much only working there part time now. So there’s all these new folk I don’t recognise. I'm a little sad that I wont see my old colleagues any more, but I guess I can always flip it around and look at it as an opportunity to make new friends…we’ll see how that goes… -_-;;;

Today I went for my CBT, which is basic training so I can ride my scooter….i got about another 5 things I have to do before I can ride my scooter on the roads again. Its gonna take a while, and cost a whole bunch of money. >.< but the CBT went well, and it was nice to get to ride on the roads again, even if it was only on a crappy 50CC scooter that I hired for the day.


I finished watching Macross Frontier the other day…talk about an AMAZING series. And the finale! Stupendous!! If you had to ask me which camp I belonged to, Gundam or Macross, I’d probably say Gundam everytime, but DAMN, do those Macross guys know how to make a series. Music was FANTASTIC. Animation was EXCELLENT. Storyline was INSPIRED. Character designs were WONDERFUL. Mecha designs were OUTSTANDING. And the homages to earlier Macross series were a nice touch too. I give this series a full 10 thumbs up. Pity it wont ever get released in the West.

I wish I had a Macross F VF-25. T.T

Also, Gundam 00 season 2 has begun in japan…I am frantically trying to find a site that dispenses the Fansub for it.

Anyhoo, that’s it from me. I’ll leave you guys with some comics I drew.



Katamari Demacy is an annoyingly fun game.



Ha ha, Box Man returns. And he doth smite your stupid capitalist device of communication.


Till next time!!
