Hawaii Vacation 2010: Azusa in Sunshine

*Nya!*~

This winter is for real. There’s several inches on the ground and it looks like more coming our way. Now if this doesn’t make you want to go back to Hawaii, I don’t know what will.

I had brought my Azusa nendoroid with me to help document where we went. I did because, as an otaku, you do stupid things like that. Bring your doll to work day! Anyhow, I didn’t get too many pictures because my sister-in-law kept harassing me about it making me feel very embarrassed. I know that I shouldn’t have been, but what can you say about a grown man carrying a doll around?

Umm… girls?

K-ON!! Ep 10 - Teacher

Oh, Sawa-chan-sensei, I doubt that you could convince those girls into studying with that sweet temper of yours. Perhaps, you ned to bust out the devil eyes. Yes, devil eyes.

Notice

One thing about being a nerd is that you become obsessive on things. Imagine if you were a nerd who loved, loved, loved the anime K-ON!!, then you would absolutely try to learn everything about the show. You’ll find out about the main characters. How tall is Mio? What’s Ritsu’s blood type? Where is Tsumugi from? Is Yui an orphan? Afterwards, you’ll begin to delve into the more esoteric things of the show like the background characters (NSFW). Yup. You’ll research who they are and what makes them tick. Just imagine how nerdy you have to be to do that.

Class 3-2 K-ON!

That’s pretty obsessive. And so kawaii!

Acoustic Tak!

Every other day, my favorite Ho-kago Tea Time song changes. One day it’s “Fude Pen,” and another day I slip back to loving “Fuwa Fuwa Time.” Then I chase them down on YouTube to see how other folks interpret the songs.

Love this acoustic version of “No, Thank You!” that maybe, currently, at this moment, it’s my favorite. Oops! Just heard the piano arrangement of “Fuwa Fuwa Time.” Here we go again.

Recorder my torrents

The second OP from K-ON!! I find this pretty hilarious and awesome at the same time. That bass recorder!

YuiAzu in full effect

Aaargh! Kawaii overload! During episode 10 of K-ON!!, YuiAzu wasn’t able to finish their duet. Now, we find it out on YouTube. And Azusa is singing. We never heard her sing any song. Gah! So Kawaii.

Let me look for this CD or torrent.

UPDATE: Replaced video because YouTube removed it.

Tasked With The Rip

Spent the first CPU cycles of the MacIntelMini converting MKVs with softsubs into MP4s for the iPhone and for the big trip to the HI. The conversion process didn’t work out as well as the subs were getting dropped at times and I then had to rely on my lack of Japanese skills. It’s like when I try to figure out tagalog: all things in context. Yet, still I’m missing things context be damned.

What I converted was the first season of K-ON! I finished watching them tonight. Let me say that it works better after watching the second season. All the cuteness is there, but a little bit rougher on the edges. When I first watched the first season, it wasn’t as fun. There was some slowness to the season that made it slightly disappointing. Loved it but it was a chore at times. The comedy and Yui hard to come by. Mio and moe all the time. Good, but not too great.

The second season of K-ON!! is plain awesome. Then watching the first, again, so it is also.

Let’s go convert the next season….

A little bit of Azu-nyan for your afternoon. She brightens up your day. Or at least she does mine. I’ll have to take mine out of the package one of these days.
