Why not let me build your computer?

Yeah, I wrote a poem on the login screen when installing winXP

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009I’m in Sweden, Varberg
Saturday, July 18th, 2009And, well, it’s pretty boring.
I bought a bunch of stuff, for my own money, so now my mom is pissed.
Apparently I’m not allowed to be interested in other stuff than cars and booze.
“What a waste of money, you should buy alcohol instead”
I mean, wtf, where’s the logic?
And she bought a fucking pillow with the american flag, a pillow which is not even supposed to be used, it’s not comfy or anything, you’re just supposed to look at it…
And she bought a bunch of plastic butterflies or whatever to place next to some flowers in the garden.
She knows nothing of the real world, I guess I’ll have to give her a lesson about it later on. >_>
Well, I’ll make a post later about the actual cool stuff I got.
I got a new computer table.
Thursday, July 9th, 2009Haven’t put it together yet though, I’m waiting for some more stuff to change my room completely.
I’ll take some pictures or something when everything is built and put in place.
And I got a few games from the bargain bin at gamestop, WC2 Battle.net edition, Diablo 1 (Which was 7kr, about 1$ :3) and Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell – Double Agent.
And I got a PSP to Component\Composite cable, I tried it out on my TV and it works just fine ![]()
I filmed it, I’m uploading it to YT now.
I’m trying to contact the guys over at surround.no, because I’m gonna a buy some new speakers, but damn, those guys don’t pick up the phone, neither do they answer their email.

Friday, July 3rd, 2009I’m just taking a peek out of my window, and what do I see?
Yeah, you guessed right, an Cervus elaphus atlanticus, also known as “Norwegian red deer”.
Actually, there were two of them, I wonder how they ended up here though.
My cam turned itself off before I could get a picture of both though, out of power -_-”
So what’s been happening
Monday, June 29th, 2009Well, I “decorated” my wall with some of my better drawings, and some drawing I didn’t do. (the colored one)

I’ve ordered more stuff (yeah, I like ordering stuff)
And I’ve watched the first season of Genshiken.
I’ve played Tales of Vesperia for 20+ hours. (Released in PAL territories a year after release in the US? really. I didn’t think it was that hard to translate it from english to…. english >_>)
I have to finish it again the day I get myself an PS3 though, since the x360 version is seriously lacking in the pirateloli department. *rage* (I’ve known this for quite some time, but it still pisses me off.)
And I’ll probably get the japanese version, for better voices. (Though I have to admit, the english voices aren’t THAT bad)
And screw Karol (?), I think that’s his name, I hate him so much I can’t even bother remembering his name. (I usually call him Karlos)
Why remove my pirateloli and keep the most annoying kid of all time?
Oh, and go watch Nostalgia Critic’s Transformers 2 review.
Here
I really don’t care for tranformers, but the review is still awesome.
And I noticed that MegaMari (that one game I got a week ago) reads “Maid in Saitama” instead of “Made in Saitama”, which I find kind of hilarious.
On a sidenote: I’m just barely surviving with it being like 40 degrees (C) every day, who said norway is cold all the time? >_>
18 years today
Friday, June 26th, 2009Yeah, it’s my birthday, the 26th of june.
Jrock night\Soracon buying spree
Wednesday, June 24th, 2009So yeah, revealing most of what I ordered
First of, touhou games :3
The official ones (which were in stock)
Touhou 7 – Perfect Cherry Blossom
Touhou 8 – Imperishable Night
Touhou 9 – Phantasmagoria of Flower View
Touhou 9.5 – Shoot the Bullet
Touhou 11 – Mountain of Faith





Too bad Embodiment of a Scarlet Devil weren’t in stock, it’s my favorite, and the first non-pc-98 touhou game.
And I got two Touhou spin-offs, Megamari (Like Megaman, just with a touhou theme\ characters\music, and まとめの音楽集その1 by “Moon Goddess”)


Kinda dark picture, but what is haruhi characters doing on the cover…
And why does this page list it as a book?
http://doujinshi.mugimugi.org/book/145552/
It sure as hell doesn’t look like one, atleast mine does look an awful lot like a CD. >_>
Then there’s just one spin-off to go, it’s on its way, more on that when I get it.
Whatever, moving on…
A new headset, yes, I have one from Koss and one pair of Steelseries, but I wanted some smaller ones, I figured I should get some which are a little bit “exotic” or atleast unusual in comparison to what people around here usually have.
So I decided on XCalgo, some japanese brand, I noticed them over at akibaharanews some time ago and they looked pretty cool.
Here’s a GIF

I also got some manga, I don’t like to buy long series, I will make exceptions though, for series I really like, like Kare Kano and Urutsei Yatsura :3
First of we have:
Tenchi Muyo: Sasami Stories
It’s just a one shot, and it was cheap, so I thought “why not?”

Next one:
Kare Kano

I thought there were just like 1 book, but apparently there’s 21 volumes (IIRC)
I love mangas like this and Lovely Complex, I don’t know why, but these are now both amongst my all-time favorites.
At about 600 pages, this is huge.
Comparison shot:

Last but not least, another random buy. (I influenced Nekoflaa to buy it too
)
Mao-Chan (By Ran and Ken Akamatsu (Of Love Hina fame, one of the characters even bears a striking resemblance to Narusegawa from Love Hina))
Wikipedia says 4 volumes, but my version is just two slightly larger volumes. (There seems to be somewhere in between 100 and 200 extra pages with info and a side-story)

Comparison shot again.

It was so cheap, couldn’t not buy it.
And I needed a new bookmark, so yeah.


And I got some YoruichiXSoifon fanart. :3

That means I didn’t draw it.
I actually haven’t drawn anything in quite a while, still, a bunch of girls requested that I’d join Deviantart, which I now consider doing.
So yeah, I think this be it. :3
SundaySoraconSummer
Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009I and Okami woke up early, ate breakfast on Deli and tried to reach “kongress senteret” before 9, we got there a few minutes late, but didn’t really matter.
Me and a few other people went to get two tv’s at havok’s house.
When we were back and I had properly arranged the chillout spot Jintox still weren’t there.
He came a little bit after the opening show were over. (it was just for the 100 first people to get tickets and crew.
Nekoflaa wrote ⑨ on my cheek
I really liked the AMV they had this time, not that I didn’t like the ones they’ve had before, I just really loved this one, the song and everything. I’ll find out which AMV it was and make a post about it.
Then they showed the three Soracon trailers and talked a little bit about what was gonna happen.
That’s about it, not as big as the Desucon opening show, but still good.
People played a bunch of Super Mario World.
(And Kenneth’s (@neo-tokyo) kid were suprisingly good, especially considering they don’t have a SNES\Super Famicom at home.
I asked him (Kenneth) about it and he just told me it runs in the family.
Over to the cosplay competition, I kinda missed it ![]()
Though I know this happened:

Beyond awesome, but since it was on a huge stage in the middle of one of oslo’s largest marketplaces (? I’m not that familiar with oslo, but I think it is) It migh’ve been a daring move, if it goes in some newspapers or something it would’ve been blown up like hell.
Mainly because of incompetence and unfamiliarity with the subject.
But yeah, that would’ve needed more than a little bit of explaining I think.
(oh, and they did it twice)
So what have we learned?
Never send someone cosplaying Pedobear (Even though it’s a girl) and a little girl (unprotected) out on the same stage.
And we had jack sparrow (Which really looked and played like he was the real deal, pretty amazing stuff. And a guy wrapped in two plastic bags, bordering on scary.
)
I got some more stuff, like fanart. (YoruichiXSoiFon hehehe :3)
More on that in the third post coming up, Tomorrow, since I’m starting to get tired.
So we got home at about 24:00 I think, mostly because we got told to take train number 19 while we really should take number 17, so we ended up taking a later one.
So yeah, saturday, jrock night +more
Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009I picked up a lot of stuff which I’ll cover in another post. (I’ll divide this weekend into 3 posts)
I met up with staiain and nekoflaa (stian and thomas) at Outland where we walked around for quite some time. I bought some mangas (And I influenced nekoflaa to buy some of them too, though he bought 10+ mangas or something, he used alot of money on it atleast
), more on which ones later.
Outside we found a card from “Oslo anonymous” which said go to “youfoundthecard.com”
Pretty hilarious.
Then we went to Neo-Tokyo which recently moved to “Arkaden”, a shopping center of sorts.
I picked up most of the stuff, except for one thing which hadn’t arrived yet.
Then we went to burger king, where we ate and leeched of their open internet connection. :3 We played stepmania on my eee and tried out a new pair of headphones.
Then we went over to where jrock night were being held.
We watched The Lillith perform (a danish “jrock band” playing mostly cover songs), while I and Nekoflaa’s sister where “leashed to eachother”, literally.
I’m not really keen on them, the reason I’m there is more for the social experience, hanging out with friends and stuff.
Though I really liked the first non-cover song they played, can’t remember what it was called though.
Then I slept over at okami’s sister’s appartment.
We watched a bunch of kpop\jpop bands on youtube and the whole Rain vs. Stephen Colbert feud (Which awesomely enough ends with a game of DDR
)
wow, just wow, examz
Friday, June 12th, 2009Yeah, had my electro technician exam today. (Or whatever that’s called in english, I don’t really know)
I started out setting up an break-in alarm central with a few detectors and stuff, that went fairly well.
Then came the vocal part where my teachers started asking me stuff about 5 completely different “sub-genres” (kinda) of “everything electro”.
And holy mother of whom ever you may believe in, that went bad, so bad.
I basically got hammered with questions about stuff I’ve never even heard about ![]()
Without a doubt my worst vocal presentation\questioning ever, well actually, that may not really say a lot since I usually do fairly well at vocal presentations, but you get my drift.
