I was thinking of getting Okiba ga Nai but due to the Akabeisoft2's net activation, I'll be skipping it. If I can't connect to their website without a proxy then chances are the same for net activation and having to use a proxy for that is a pain. I kinda wanted that Shannon figure but we don't know who the maker is so the quality is up in the air.
On a similar note, I think I'll be skipping the RuiTomo games for the same reasons. They also have net activation and it seems both software teams are headed by the same company or something similar; at the very least I remember seeing Akabeisoft2's name somewhere in the 1st RuiTomo's OP credits. The Tomo Nendo looks disappointing. Seems only to support the poses they've shown so far so there's not much you can do with him compared to other Nendos. The fandisk isn't worth it just for that.

Doujinshi shop annoyances...
Thanks to Tenso, there's a few more Japanese online stores you can order from as well as order some things you may not have been able to before due to certain restrictions. However, 2 major stores seems to be adamant against selling to people outside of Japan: the doujinshi shops Tora no Ana and Melon Books. Tora no Ana emailed me saying they won't ship to Tenso and Melon has a specific clause in their TOC saying they're against the use of services like Tenso and proxies. It really annoys me to no end that they would restrict foreigners who have legitimate interest in their products; not only is it a potential source of revenue but totally blocking off that market promotes online piracy as it becomes the only other way of being able to read the doujinshi one would want to read outside of living or flying to Japan.

The toy box is full...
I've bought too many toys lately and floor downstairs is littered with shipping boxes as I sort through and decide on what boxes to empty first and what boxes to put away. Since I'm soon to be out of a job, I think it's a good time to decide on figures and toys that I should sell off. I also don't want to open up too many boxes at once since I won't be buying much imports after the summer and I don't want to spend the rest of the year without new toys to open up.

Jinx?
Last time I'm saying "I'm going to stop doing so and so..." because everytime I do, something even worse happens. XD So no more. I'll just wait for the horror to stop. As mentioned in the other blog, I got a huge package of loot. Very nice stuff too and at good prices considering the goods. I'm definitely happy.
However there is a dark ominous cloud over the horizon. I've been notified that the place I work at is shutting down so I now have a brief period of time in which to find my next gig or I won't have anymore spare income for upcoming toys and figures. Unemployment simply isn't enough and savings will run out quick so it'll be a busy month ahead for me as I search for the next thing to do.

Fuwa Fuwa Time!
I just started watching K-On! I can see why it's popular. It's cute, funny, and full of moe! I like all the girls but my favorite has to be popular Mio! She's straight and serious but she's shy and doesn't like being at center of attention yet she's 健気 enough to do what it takes to get things done! 可愛いなぁ、この娘達は! *^^*
As mentioned in the previous post, I've bought way too much toys & figures during the past few months and I'm planning to buy some eroge during the next few months. However, that's pretty much it for my crazy purchasing. This is just one of those crazy buying phases for me and I'll be breathing a huge sigh of relief when it's over. At least I have enough money not to go into debt again but that's a story for another time.

Is this color too tacky for this blog?
I haven't visited this blog in a while. I think I'll use this one for behind the scenes stuff and general minor updates while putting the big or juicy stuff in 2D-ism.
I got a lot of stuff in the mail this past week. Mega Size Gundam arrived from Amiami. The shipping was forced into EMS so I knew it was going to be a big or heavy package but when the box arrived, I was shocked. Huge box is HUGE! I'm definitely taking a size comparison pic of this one. I also got another mouse pad and other stuff. The mouse is a Nico Robin oppai mouse pad which is the one I currently use. What happened to Kanu? She had some problems; not surprising considering the constant problems they have with their outfits. :p I'll outline the problems when I discuss the Nico mouse pad in 2D-ism. I've also come to realize I'm ordering way too many toys and other stuff. I've really am spending more this year than in any other time in my life. Months of savings down the drain, that kind of stuff. Thankfully, I'm pretty much dried up in my toy & figure spending however I've got a new upcoming expenditure which is eroge! I have some big ones coming in summer such as maybe OTBK2 but I've also made my first order from Sofmap! This is big and could mean great things. Although I may be partial against big expenditures on toys, I don't have such qualms when it comes to eroge (well maybe a little)! Assuming everything goes as planned I'll expect some yummy eroge goodies to come to my doorstep during summer. Mwa-hahahaha-!!

I'm a rabbit but in reality, I'm a turtle.
I spend waaaaay too much time on composing and editing a post. *sigh*
I've just spent roughly 2 hours composing a single post. I wrote most of my post, searched for some images, resized them, uploaded them, decided they weren't good, re-edited the images, re-uploaded them, edited the links, wrote the rest of my post, posted it, edited it, and edited it yet again until I'm finally satisfied. And the post was regarding a perverted fetish of mine and my favorite eromanga artist who draws a lot of that stuff. o_O;
My energy is definitely directed towards the wrong places... ^^;;
