Just doing some light studying and homework today.
The widely known Hatsune Miku from the Vocaloid series is presented here by Good Smile Company as a 1/8 scale PVC figure modeled after her appearance in the commercial shown below.
Picked up the Hatsune Miku CM ver. by Good Smile Company that was an exclusive at this year’s Wonder Festival.
Finally gave in and bought myself a DSLR camera.
The two main companies with large market shares are Canon and Nikon. I decided to go with Canon mainly because of two reasons. Reason one was that my friends have Canon DSLR cameras too so we can share lenses, and reason two was because it was on sale. ^^;
Ordered it on Amazon where they have a large rebate when you purchase it with a photo printer – also no sales tax for CA and 2-day free shipping with Amazon Prime.
Looking forward to playing around with it this weekend!

Started reading the xxxHolic manga this week. I was already somewhat familiar with the premise since I saw Tsubasa Chronicle and have heard of the xxxHolic anime.
Star Ocean 4 is being released internationally for the PS3 on 2/10/2010. With Tales of Vesperia being ported to the PS3 as well, seems like I have fun RPG times ahead of me.
I was planning on buying an Xbox360 just to play Star Ocean 4, so this will save me some money. Hah! You Xbox360 owners are losing all your exclusives. Maybe Ace Combat 6 next? =P

Hobby Search has reopened reservations for Good Smile Company’s Saber Lily ~Distant Avalon~.
Hopefully they’ll be able to fulfill these new orders since I’ll be trying to pick one up.
For anyone else that missed it before, here’s your chance!
A friend showed me one of Nostromo’s AMVs today and I became an instant fan. Although I don’t usually watch AMVs, I must say that his work is amazing and I can’t even imagine how many hours he expended in making them.
Drössel figma is finally being re-released sometime October 2009 for 3,200 yen by Max Factory. Very tempted to get one for myself due to Kodomut’s constant photos of her along with the glowing eyes mod.
Hopefully I’ll be able to stock some for Figure Haven, but it’ll be after the release in Japan due to licensing constraints. Will post when it’s available.

Added four new banners in addition to the one that I’ve been using recently. I decided to implement random banners to make the blog a bit more dynamic.
For those interested in how I did it: I used Matt Mullenweg’s Random Image Script, which is just some short php code. Instructions for usage are on that site as well.
As for the banner images, they’re all from the Saber Portraits art book.
