Darker than Black Episode 26

A new episode for Darker than Black -Kuro no Keiyakusha-, Episode 26, will be released on DVD. From what I’ve read, it doesn’t seem to be one that will tie up much of the loose ends from episode 25 but rather more about another mission that Hei was on.

Entry for AnimeBlogger.net Mascot Design Contest, Part 2

I’d like to announce that I’m a complete idiot. *sob* My entry was a rush job in itself, so it wouldn’t have been able to shine amongst the other art masterpieces anyways.

This was my entry.

New Background

I’ve changed the background of the site to a rotating Furude Rika picture that I’d just finished with a tablet, from start to finish on Photoshop. Note that you need to have resolution of 1280X??? to see Rika peeking out from the left side of the page. If you reload the page a few times, you should be able to see a lightless-eyed Rika… **creepy**

2007 New Year’s Resolutions

I resolve to sing God knows… at a karaoke competition, and actually hit all of its high notes without sounding retarded.

I resolve to cosplay more Anime characters, perhaps Shana from Shakugan no Shana, Haruhi from Ouran High School Host Club, or Sophie from Code Geass - Lelouch of the Rebellion.

I resolve to not flunk out of college.

I resolve to master the tablet to the degree that it becomes a second sketch book.

I resolve to understand more of the American culture, but not necessarily assimilate to any of it.

I resolve to actually do something productive during summer, perhaps learning how to drive a car and/or making money legally.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, everyone! This is an American holiday that I’ve assimilated to only the commercial aspect thereof and I can certainly see the joy in all of the buying and selling. ^o^

Anyways, the good news is that my father has agreed to purchase a 6X8 version of Wacom Graphire4 tablet for me instead of the 4X5, which I found to look pathetic in its box. The bad news is that Amazon.com is currently sold out of them.

Read on for a pathetic webcomic.

Christmas List

The season of happy holidays is upon us, and like any other good assimilated American, I must join in on the Christmas gift-grabbing frenzy. Everything else doesn’t matter. There isn’t a single holiday decoration up in my house. No tree, no light, no candlestick. Enough money is being spent on presents for Christmas already, which my parents has adopted as best as they can as “kids demand presents from adults, but no lucky money for you on Chinese New Year’s Day”.

All I want is a Wacom (Graphire4 4X5) tablet, conveniently on sale at Best Buy for $69.99, marked down from retail value of $99.95. It’s cheaper than what I can get from Amazon.com and the sale lasts through this Saturday nationwide. I’ll be receiving it as a present from my dad on Saturday, when we pick it at from the store, hopefully without being crushed in the aisles or at the checkout counter.

Laying Off Blogging Code Geass, Because WS Version Exists

I’m going to stop blogging Code Geass - Lelouch of the Rebellion (as if I haven’t already) for a month or two because I’ve noticed that it was originally animated in widescreen, or a 5:3 dimension of some sort. I’d like to blog a series in its original, full glory.

See comparison screenshots below: (The top row is unedited, the bottom row is what I’ve found on TV thus far)
Please ignore the difference in coloration; that’s just my Photoshop messing up.

I’m assuming that the uncut version would come out on the DVD releases, so until I get my hands on the DVD episodes, Code Geass is not going to be blogged (unless it’s the final episode).
