12/27/08--23:43: first journal entry (chan 2056047)

happy holidays! This, I think is my first actual journal entry although I have had a deviantart for quite some time (I just rarely ever do anything with my profile).

Right now I am in LA and underneath bed covers using an ASUS laptop to write this in a hotel room.

So, I am wishing everyone a merry christmas, and maybe one of these days I will manage to submit some art. Hey, whattaya know? ART. hunh...

12/31/08--21:48: walkure/valkyrie (did I spell that right?) (chan 2056047)

I recently watched the movie valkyrie. The movie with Tom Cruise in it, where he is a WWII Nazi col. and tries to assassinate Hitler.

It was VERY good, if you have not seen it, I recommend so, it is also educational too, becuase I did not know how the people went through with the plan, how many attempts were made, etc.

It is also based off a true story.

Anyway, for all of us at one point tonight the new year of 2008 pass into 2009. I am still alive over here, and for the new year I will be driving back up to Santa Rosa from LA.

02/05/09--22:25: A geeky moment I'm sorry XD (chan 2056047)

I absolutely cannot help myself here, since I am a halo fan I must blurb a little about Halo Wars. Most geeks know that today, on the 5th of February the demo came out. It bragged a major revolution in the way you construct bases and play an RTS on a console without complicating everything (i.e. pressing a button once, twice, or holding it down for three different commands).

It did not dissapoint. It uses the number pad to jump around the battlefield, select your base with left arrow, and units with right arrow. hold down the "A" button to drag a circle around units. press LB to select them all.

Anyway before I turn this into a sermon I'm going to finish up here.

The graphics are amazing, the tutorial is actually helpful, and the title screen where it says "press start" is cool as well. There are also countless upgrades that make the game interesting along with many other factors. So far I have yet to see the campaign but I will make my opinion of that when I beat the actual game. Even if you aren't a Halo fan this still is a pretty decent RTS.

03/20/09--12:21: Elfen Lied (chan 2056047)

I don't know how many people out there know about the Anime/Manga Elfen Lied. It is very intense, bloody, with some nudity, and generally something someone wouldn't find on youtube (that's where I found it lol).

It is about "Dyclonius" A creature with horns (that look more like ears) and have invisible hands/arms called "Vectors" (lol). It is a 13 episode miniseries, but the manga is longer I'm sure, although I haven't read it (yet). Aside from the fighting, and nudity it captured my attention quite well, and I think this anime deserves a lot more notice.

Also, I must say that It makes my top 10 because...it doesn't end like Deathnote, or Code Geass. Even though I found out it was a (somewhat) happy ending It still didn't ruin the mood for me, so it's quite powerful.

04/28/09--21:49: Fanime update (chan 2056047)

So I think I should write a little something about Fanime and the update on it.

First of all, I have told most people that I am going but haven't really posted an update or anything about it for that matter.

On May 22, I will be leaving for San Jose, where it is located. I have reserved a hotel room at the Fairmont right next to the convention center.
I am going with four people, and have been currently working on a "Cloud Strife" costume (yes I know he's a popular character to cosplay), I have been working on a wig which is coming along fairly well. So far I have got the back of his head, and the sides, but the top is a bit more complicated, especially since his spikes on the top of his head go in every which direction so I will only be able to do about a couple spikes a day and let it dry over night, then resume it again.

Eventually I will be wearing it out in public to test it's capability to withstand weather instead of just keeping it in my room.

05/11/09--11:14: For all you Pokemon Fans out there- (chan 2056047)

As you know by now, there has been a lot of rumor on Pokemon Gold/Silver remakes. This is true, on Saturday morning Nintendo announced the Pokemon Remakes are official and will be titled HeartGold and SoulSilver. You can find some more info on

[link]

I was tracking these rumors for a while now, and instead of being called "dusk gold" and "dawn silver" (which sound more like pokemon mystery dungeon game titles) another name was released (thank god). I am a major fan of the pokemon games, and Silver/Gold/Crystal version made the record for the most games sold for TWO years running after it came out.

A new feature will be having your pokemon starter trail you, just like in pokemon yellow version! ^^ There will be something new about it released every sunday until it comes out THIS fall! (yaay )
