So, I've had this written down for a while, but never bothered to post it. Probably because I'm not too good of a cook, and probably because I'm also lazy. Meh.My short ventures in cooking started when a restaurant I went to for one specif…

You know, I should've blogged about the Idolm@ster 10th Live, but I left for Japan touring a few days after, so I never got around to it.But well... Comiket 88 is done and over! I got most of everything I wanted, except for one guy who sol…

While I'm busy blogging, maybe I can write about a few things I did a long time ago.Last month, the stock buttons on my Mad Catz Fightstick broke. It was the really old standard edition of the Street Fighter 4 stick, so the parts weren't t…

So, it's been a while... a long while, since AWA 2014 but I need to post up them pics sometime. They're mainly cosplay pics, and there aren't too many.https://caelk.shutterfly.com/pictures/1278At first I thought I'd post them up with the p…

I should be looking at my pics from AWA 2014 and the trip to Japan I made last October, but there are a lot of pictures to go through. I should stop taking as many as I do.Instead, I'll show you all what I've made recently. Koufuku Graffit…

Ya know, I've known about this for a while, but maybe it's time to share.http://kouhi.me/idol/It's called Idol Sorter, and just like the name goes, it pits idols against your sense of moe and sorts them based on how much they make that sen…

Oooooh, man. Today's special. I made some really good Japanese curry today - the best I've ever made. Mind you, I'm not that great a cook, but this stuff still tasted great to me.Normally when I make curry, I use those curry cubes you get …

A few weeks ago, I got back from another trip to Japan, and no less than two typhoons ripped through the country during my wonderful vacation. Thankfully I had a friend who lives in Japan, so I could use his place to keep my stuff.... Such…

Oh, my little con has grown up to be a real con.Some of my friends were banking on AWA this year to be a real con again, and reserved hotel rooms early. I'm glad I decided to get in on it too, since now we've got real guests. For a long ti…

I actually did a bit of spending before the new year, but I guess I haven't gotten to saying what all I got.For a while I've been thinking I'd get a Vita as there are a few games for it that I want, and last December I finally decided to s…

Every so often, there will be a release of Google Chrome that's unusably horrid. Right now is one of those times.Chrome itself is fine and all, it's just Pepper Flash (which it uses for Flash movies) is horrendously slow. The video is chop…

Up until now, I've kinda begrudgingly used Celga when I needed to get stuff from multiple places at once. Their commission fees I find a little excessive, their packages take a while to get to you, and their website isn't the best in the w…

So, I'm finally back from vacation.However, I have to say that I have had terrible luck with meals the day I got back. On the airplane, I decided to have the beef and potato... which was partially opened when they gave it to me. They gave …

Earlier I said I'd detail what I remembered of Iwata and Asakawa's panel in its own post, as well as what I remember of ZUN, so here it is.I can actually start out with ZUN, though, since it actually will be the shortest I'll talk about. A…

The last day of the con was a pretty low-key event. We were a little late in getting out, so I missed the Kenshin movie that was being shown... though I was rather indifferent about seeing it, so I don't really mind. I bought that Wagnaria…

Day two of Anime Weekend Atlanta was mostly filled with signings and concerts, as far as I was concerned. There was an Iwata and Asakawa signing at 13:00, and so with my previous con experiences in mind, I sought to be at that line at 12:0…

For this con, the plan was to pick up badges on Friday (not my decision, but I decided to roll with it). Registration at the con was a little odd, though. On Friday, the preregistration line took about 20 - 30 minutes to get through, but t…

Well, I'm back from AWA 2013, and I had a blast. Really, this was a really good con this time around... far and away removed from the days when the only thing to do was to hang around the video game rooms and play DDR.Lately, the con has b…

Unfortunately, my Atlanta friends aren't cosplaying in the end. One of them... from what I understand couldn't get all the pieces together in time.Luckily for me, I was able to get everything together - even when a wig I needed didn't actu…

The last day of Otakon went about the same as every other last day at (insert con here) - a brief dealer's room run, time wasting, and departure.Pictures: https://caelk.shutterfly.com/pictures/1138It was a bit of a bummer that I didn't get…

When I went to sleep on Friday, I had more or less completed everything I wanted to at the con - OreImo World Premiere, and getting my tapestry signed. So, there wasn't too much pressure for anything else. I did have to wake up early to ge…

Honestly, the way Otakon went this time, was that there was one thing per day that I wanted to do. On Friday, there was the World Premiere of... OreImo (that's the shortened name). It was attended (and unveiled) by the author of the series…

So, I went to Otakon 2013 this year, and though I couldn't do everything I wanted to, it was still great.Now, when last I went in 2011, Otakon announced the guest list like, two weeks in advance (and this was by choice), which was a proble…

So, my old keyboard, a Saitek Eclipse, lost a key. Not just any key, a very important key. The Delete key. One of the clamps on the bottom of the key (which clip it into the key slot) broke off, and while I could have just sat the key on t…

So, about a month ago, I went to Anime Boston with my friends and I had a blast. I didn't really take too many pictures of anything besides Raj and Origa at their concert Saturday night, though.Pictures: http://caelk.shutterfly.com/picture…

Okay, so not only did I get the e-Capcom limited edition Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen, I got the Sega Store's limited edition of 7th Dragon 2020-II. It was a little pricey, but the Sega Store edition came with all the best goodies, so I jus…

Well, I got my copy of the e-Capcom limited edition of Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen finally. There's actually a story behind my acquisition of it, but I'm really not up for telling it right now as it involves a lot of angst.So, I'll just sh…

Been a while since I last posted... and it's also been a while since I figured this out (i.e. a few weeks ago), but it makes for good posting, so I'll roll with it. We're going back to my forays in shader programming again, even if all I'm…

After being extremely lazy, I decided to get back into hobbyist programming. This time, I'm looking at shader programming, which is something I've always been interested in. Like last time, I'm in XNA, coding in C# and HLSL.So, it's not re…

Finally, the last of my stuff from Japan came in last week. Celga can be a bit slow, though to their credit, I did sit on my purchases for a week or so before telling them to send it to me.Essentially what my run boiled down to was getting…
