Woah, I haven’t posted in a while now, well, at least not since two days before my birthday. I’m not gonna talk so much about that, well, except maybe saying what I got for my birthday, I got cash, two books with How To Draw Manga and three small cute figurines from my aunt. Pretty much it actually since I mostly wanted money and something anime related. Since my last entry I have also gotten myself a new computer and started playing Aion!

So yea, my old computer was starting to piss me off because of it being slow and old, it was also a bit slow at running Aion and I couldn’t run it on full graphics to look how beautiful they are, so what did I do? Well, instead of upgrading the old one I bought a new one, I bought it in parts even though my first plan was to buy a premade one so I didn’t have to build it myself, it was actually fun putting together the computer myself so now I got one with these specifications: AMD Phenom-II 545 X2 3.0GHz Dual-Core, 4GB DDR4 1333MHz RAM, Sapphire Radeon 4850 512MB GDDR3 RAM. I also got myself a new motherboard, an ASUS one instead of the old nVidia chipset I had before. This one can run Aion on full graphics but I do have a heating problem with my GPU because my case was a piece of ass so I need to buy a new one later on. Looks like a fucking mess inside of the case though.

Last week I was at PolarParty, it’s not the biggest but it’s one of the bigger LAN parties in Norway, it was named PolarParty 18 Tjuvraddar and I applied there as crew, which I was accepted at and put into the Security crew (apparently they lacked people for this) even though it said you had to be 18 years of age to become Security, it was fun being there but I went home a bit earlier because I was getting more sick than I originally was before I went there x.x I grabbed a couple of new games, anime and movies while I was there from the DC-hub though and met new people, some annoying people but also lots of fun people to talk with :3

Oh, and I updated the Shop area of my blog so if you want something then please take a look there, I’ll keep updating it from time to time when I got more stuff I want to get rid off. As said so did I start playing Aion and I am having fun there, soon I am level 24 (currently 23 while writing this entry) and that means one level closer till I can start kicking Asmodian ass in the Abyss! Oh well, nothing else to talk about currently so I’ll just cut this entry short…

…oh wait, almost forgot to say, I am going to Desucon which is in about 11 days now, I’ll be a part of the Security crew there too (man, lots of Security stuff for me these days), and about the cosplay, well, I don’t want to cosplay when I am Security, nor should I cosplay when I am Security, so I wont be able to wear the Yuyuko cosplay at the convention this time, the cosplay was too small anyway and looks shit on me so I’d rather not wear it.

And now, some random images of stuff I have gotten…

I don’t make entries that often as you have noticed and that’s because I am not a regular blogger like many people are, though as you have noticed I do make quite some long entries when I first post something, well, okay, they aren’t epicly long but at least they are long enough to cover whatever I am talking about in my entries, however, this entry is just for general stuff and such which is going on, especially since school is soon starting up again and I am gonna start up my second year in High School in Media & Communication.

So yea, at school we got something called PTF, which is basically a project where we can choose whatever we want and dig deeper into learning it, at the end of the year we show this project to the class or to our teachers only, depends on if you want to stand in front of the class and talk or not, not everyone likes to do that, hehe. So yea, if I gonna do PTF this year I have decided that I want to try do something like the Angry Video Game Nerd, you know, sitting around in my room playing games and bitching like fuck about how much they suck and talk so much crap about them as I want, however so is this just a thought as I might end up working somewhere instead instead of PTF, this is what we in Norwegian call “utplassering”, this means through the school you get placed out at some job and work there, the place which ‘hires’ you will tell your teacher how you do and all that, at the end of the year I think you get a grade like with PTF.

Alright, so if you remember two entries ago I revealed what cosplay I thought about using for Desucon 4, and as I said then I was thinking of doing Yuyuko from the Touhou Project series, this cosplay is quite expensive though so I have to save up money, even though I could just use my scholarship money 0n it since it isn’t anything else special I have to spend it on, well, except a new laptop which I want to buy, and this laptop cost 6999,- Norwegian Kroner, it’s a cool HP laptop which will work perfectly for my school stuff, though I can just use my old laptop until I’ve saved up enough money for the new one. My birthday is the 8th of September so I most likely get some more money then, which is good, hehe.

When I go back to school I gonna work harder so my teacher might agree on allowing me to print out posters and such for a smaller fee using the awesome printer we have at our school, I want to have some custom made wallposters I can hand up on my wall, or maybe sell them to someone else who really wants them as I know some people are just crazy after getting posters, and hey, Touhou Project posters is quite hard to find so this might be like a good business.

Comiket 76 (C76) is coming up and that means there will be a lot new stuff coming out, I myself have the sight of a Touhou Project Reimu Nendoroid which will cost about 3000 Yen according to sources, I have talked to some people I know and they said they will try and get it for me, C76 is also when Touhou 12: Undefined Fantastic Object will be released to the public, currently there is a beta out which can be downloaded from ZUN’s website, I have also talked about getting that and I hope that the people I know is able to ship it over to me, though it will be shipped through a friend in the UK first due to reasons.

I have also started watching some anime again and even reading manga on OneManga, I have yet to finish a couple of anime I started on earlier this year though; ToraDora!, To LoveRu and Tears to Tiara are among them, I am also thinking about starting to watch Kannagi and I also have to finish Potemayo actually. New series I am going to watch and am on the way to finishing is the following; Spice & Wolf II, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei, Utawarerumono OVA and maybe Shuffle! and Shuffle! Memories. I am also waiting for a special live action movie to be made available on DVD, yes, I am talking about Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Chikai which is the second live action movie made for the Higurashi no Naku Koro ni series, I actually made a small review entry about it when I first started this blog. The manga I am currently reading is; Rurouni Kenshin, Chibi Vampire and the K-ON! 4koma.

Oh yeah, the Desucon 4 dates have been announced, it will be held on the 17th and 18th of October, which means there is still time to get my cosplay, at least two and a half month time, hehe. Applied for Info crew again like I did for Soracon, was quite a fun and interesting crew to be a part of to be honest.

Well, this was all I had for this time, and as you can see this entry was a bit nicer than my last one, you know, the rant I made about how much Equality Now sucks and how they are a bunch of whores, anyway, haha. Wow, this entry ended up longer than I expected,  I thought it would be shorter but as I said in the beginning, when I first start writing a blog entry it ends up quite long in the end.

Ok, so now that I am a poor little bitch with less to no money left in my wallet (except some bucks in my bank) I’ll have to throw in the towel and not buy any figurines or merchandise for a while, I need to find myself a job or something because that would help a lot, hehe.

But first I wanna show of the figurines I bought before I went out of money, I posted about the Reimu mini-figurine earlier but I also ordered 4 Lucky Star ones which I actually just ordered to sell in Norway. Oh yea, and lets not forget about the cute Kuro-Chan figurine from the anime Kodomo no Jikan.

Though, I also figured, since I want to learn Japanese, why not make it a bit harder for myself and force myself into learning ? So when I uninstalled the Windows 7 Beta to install the RC I decided to install the Japanese version of Windows 7 RC, followed by installing Windows Live, Skype and STEAM in Japanese (which also makes all games downloaded and installed from STEAM Japanese too o.o). Just booting up ma system to some awesome Japanese kanji, hiragana and katakana eh?

I am trying to figure out what cosplay to wear at Desucon 4 which will be held here in Norway sometime during Fall. I was going to try and do Hanyuu but the top part of my Hanyuu cosplay weren’t fitting me so I can’t really do it, I was going Inuyasha cosplay at Desucon 3 so I wont do that again, hehe.

I was going to do Rinnosuke cosplay from Touhou but I found out the cosplay costed around $115 which is bad considering I need to pay tariff/taxes if it exceeds $30 so I have to try something else or find a costume maker which allows to trick with the price and mark the package as a gift so I don’t need to pay the epic taxes of 25% MVA + 17% Tariff.

I can’t really make my own costume due to my lack of abilities with sewing and stuff like that, nor do I really have the time to make it as I have lots of other things to do too which is quite more important than making a cosplay, hehe. So, I want to hear what you have to say about this and if you have any idea of a character I should cosplay and maybe link me to a seller at eBay or somewhere else who allows to cheat a little with the tariff…etc. I also had Mokou from Touhou in mind so I might be doing that, but first I must check if the seller I bought the Hanyuu cosplay from is able to make the Mokou one.

Edit

Ok, so I talked with the seller I bought the Hanyuu costume from and asked how much it would cost me for the Mokou costume, it would be $85.99 (shipping included) and currently that’s a bit much, so i think I’ll need to find something cheaper or just buy cat ears and wear those, hehe.

Feel free to bring your suggestions here…

So yea, my Touhouness got tested when ToyLet.net had added a new addition to their Touhou section, this being the Inaba of Earth and Inaba of the Moon doujin with a Limited Edition Reisen Undonge Inaba figurine, and this for only $27.99? Yes, I was amazed at the price so I HAD to place a pre-order at once, I will probably get it sometime in October 2009. I’ll probably have forgotten I ordered it by then so when I get it in my mail I’ll go berserk and wonder who the hell sent me it, of course, it wont take that long for me to figure out it was me pre-ordering it half a year ago, haha.

Yea, so I ordered my Touhou Tarot cards a few days ago from Toylet.net. I have yet to receive them but I know it takes a bit longer for international shipping than domestic shipping the US so I know it will arrive sooner or later, heck, I don’t mind how long it takes as long as I get it.

This image is from Toylet.net but when I get it I’ll take and update with a photo of it which I myself will take! I’m happy he was able to hold one off for me as it got sold out quite fast.

I want to buy some other stuff too but I gotta figure out what, my sight is on Shakugan no Shana and Elfen Lied wallscrolls though!

Hey guys!

I would just like to give a huge thanks for ToyLet.net Collectibles for their sponsorship! They will now be an official sponsor for Frozen Flower Entertainment and Project Frozen Flower! This including other projects from Frozen Flower Entertainment too!

If you are an anime and manga fan you don’t wanna miss going to ToyLet.Net Collectibles and look through their stuff, their prices are reasonable and they got some nice shipping advantages at that. (For example if you buy more than 8 mangas you get free shipping (US only)). I am so going to buy some of the wallscrolls they got there as they look sexy, especially Negima, Elfen Lied, Shana and Lucky Star ones!

They also got quite a nice choice in Touhou merchandise!

- Shashi out!
