| 9:21pm | Ringo Noyamano: On Wheels and NSFW | | | | Flickr link Ringo listened to Kira and Gerome argue while she stood on the far side of the studio with nothing on but some real fetishy lingerie. She couldn’t sit down like everyone else did while waiting for the photographer to arrive, because she’d wrinkle the garment and they wanted... |
| 11:09pm | Otakon 2008 | | | | The forecast said it would be raining in Baltimore during Otakon weekend. It didn’t rain and the weekend wasn’t gloomy at all. It was, in fact, quite comfortable the whole time for a fairly low-key but enjoyable Otakon 2008. I didn’t take any pictures at the con, so yeah, no cosplay... | | |
| 6:33am | Instead of Packing | | | | Instead of packing for Otakon and getting a good night sleep so that I don’t crash too early, I decided to install a new theme for HappySoda. Of course, it’s never a one button press operation. It’s 2AM. I started at 10pm. Still not done, the links and archive pages need some... | | |
| 3:52pm | Otaku, Clothes and the Normal Life | | | | A couple of days ago I watched that Genshiken episode where Kasukabe goads Madarame into investing in his outward appearance. The Genshiken crew were a little on the deep end as far as minimizing all other expenses, such as skimping on clothing, to be able to afford otaku gear. Obviously they can... |
| 8:10pm | Kujibiki Unbalance v2 | | | | Sometimes I wonder about the collective opinion of “they”. According to that mass of nobody in particular, Kujibiki Unbalance pretty much sucks. Maybe they are right and most of the people who watch it will bleed from their eyes, but I don’t know, as blasphemous as it may sound, I... | | |
| 5:38pm | Another Blood Loli Rouge | | | | Flickr link “I see London. I see France, but you can see my underpants,” said Another Blood. She was kneeling on top of the wall just outside of the stock exchange with her skirt lifted up. “Do you mind,” said her companion, who for reasons of sheer boredom was peeling an apple.... | | |
| 7:04pm | A Perfect Day for Kirijo Mitsuru | | | | In an alternate universe, Kirijo Mitsuru motored south on the Pacific Coast Highway in her Boxster, the top down, deep red hair streaming like a banner in the wind. It was a holiday and she had no place in mind other than wherever the highway took her, but when she saw a beach up ahead she parked the... |
| 3:29pm | Dragon Half & Watching Vintage Stuff | | | | One of the new guys in my D&D 4E campaign brought over Dragon Half to watch while waiting for everyone else to show up. I’d never seen it before and it was fun to watch. Everything about it felt different from the stuff that comes out now, especially the character design and art style,... |
| 9:27pm | Portraits from Memory: Boogiepop Phantom | | | | I’ve been wanting to write something smart about Boogiepop Phantom for years now, but I’ve come to realize that, no, I really don’t want to. Every six months or so it goes into the dvd player and I sit and take it all in. It has to have been at least ten times through already. Ten... |
| 10:16pm | Natsume Rin Obsession | | | | He remembered the first day of class. Natsume Rin was the last to enter the classroom. She entered just a moment before he started to introduce himself to his students and take roll. He watched her find the last available seat in the back. Nobody said hello to her and she said hello to nobody. ... |
| 8:34pm | Figure On Cheap Lighting II: Blocking Light | | | | While lots of light glorious light looks good, sometimes a figure calls for a different mood, such as the PSE-01 figure I recently reviewed. Sometimes you just want a sliver of light and a whole lot of shadow. It’s really a simple thing to do: One of the great things about figure photography... |
| 9:48pm | PSE-01 from Murata CDB Illo | | | | After laying on the thing for half an hour, she discovered that her couch was vying for the title of most uncomfortable couch in the world. It was hot, a real conversation piece, but definitely not made for curling up in. She expected that though. What’s sexy usually isn’t all that comfortable.... |
| 6:17pm | Baek ChangPo Round Here | | | | Flickr link “What’s with the costume,” he said about her headset, boots, and the clear plastic slip. He’d never seen a dancer wear stuff like that before. “It’s from a video game,” she said and gently pushed him down on the couch as she began dancing for him.... |
| 8:55pm | Nerima Daikon Brothers | | | | For about a week now I’ve been torturing everyone I know with my awful singing. I can’t help it. I got the Nerima Daikon Brothers set and watched the whole thing in a couple of days. That kind of concentrated exposure has some serious effects, causing me to involuntarily sing about a... | | |
| 9:45pm | Malibu Chu Chu [nsfw] | | | | Chu Chu plops down on the plush velvet maroon couch next to Gustav, real name Gary changed for artistic merit. Neither one said anything for a little bit. They were introduced thirty-seconds ago and then were left alone instantly, so all he caught was Chu Chu was some idol singer from Japan and that... |
