It's been a while since my last status update.

I moved to a new apartment last September (was quite a pain), and spent the rest of the year furnishing my place. Now it's fairly complete and comfy.

Other than the air conditioner, I had to get everything, including the curtain, the ceiling light, and my own washing machine. I can't imagine how I'll be able to move out of here with all the stuff I have now...

Spotted this on this week's Famitsu, what appears to be a new .hack game (named .hack//Link) that takes place 3 years after "The World R:2".

It will be released for the PSP, and the release date is unknown at this point, apparently.

Nice...

My Canon point-and-shoot served me well for the past year, but recently, I found that my cellphone camera is almost on par(not even close) in the image quality department, while not being such a pain to carry.

So, for the purpose of taking good indoor shots, I went out and bought myself a dSLR, the Canon EOS Kiss X2 (a.k.a. 450D or Rebel XSi), for kicks(as in, for serious image taking), and re-tiring the point-and-shoot to a sidearm status.

My first impression with the dSLR: "god damn heavy", my second impression: "my god, I didn't know you could do that with a camera".

Can't wait to put it into good use.

UPDATE: Non-scientific comparison shots for pure amusement.

Decided to go to the wonder festival today at Tokyo Big Sight. For those who don't know what it is, it's the convention for figures and garage kits.

I got there around 10:40(it opens at 10:00), and I had to line up for a hour to get in... Then I had to line up for another hour to buy some limited edition stuff... Good thing it was only 35 degrees outside, and the humidity was only 80%.

The 300 page ticket(weights a ton).

The pilgrimage to the holy land.

Almost there.

GAINAX is promoting the upcoming Tengen Toppa movie.

Final Fantasy stuff.

Good looking Karen.

New Hatsune Miku figma!

Suzumiya Haruhi figmas. I think I have them all.

New figures from Good Smile Company.

Heroine from Odin Sphere, soon to be released by Alter.

My loot, along with some other semi-useful stuff.

Check out the entire gallery(WARNING: got some 18+ stuff).

Arrival! This is the room I'll be living in for the next month or two. It's a guest house, with a private room and common areas shared by others. The room is pretty small, with not so small furnitures, kinda makes me wonder how they moved them in in the first place.

And today is my first day to work.
