Not much to update
I really haven’t had much time to watch anime lately – it’s a combination of a few factors, including work, my parents visiting/attending my brother’s graduation, and social stuff.
I’ve been reading the Chinese translation of Murakami’s latest novel, 1Q84. It’s very Murakami, and for (what I believe is) the first time ever, he’s writing a female MC. I’m about 8 chapters in, and it’s proving a great read – despite the fact that I can’t read as fast or as easily for books in traditional Chinese, much less one translated in such a metaphorical and almost literary manner. Not that I don’t appreciate it; it’s bringing back my Chinese education.
My parents are landing in Melbourne in a few hours, and I’ve been cleaning and hiding my Otaku stuff. I don’t believe that being an otaku is anything to be ashamed about. However, my parents are like Kirino’s, and consider such things a waste of time and money. Which they probably are, it’s just that they’re highly enjoyable. Things that I’ve hidden include:
– Over 30 figures
– My Hina glass
– 3 Entrails animals soft toys
– A Pandaneko apron
– 2 Kampfer bracelets
– 1 Judgement armband
– 2 anime (WAIFU) amulets
– 1 Guitar
I considered hiding my new bass, but decided that even if I could, I would not be able to hide the amp. My life is amazing. I can’t hide all my books and dvds (anime/manga/comics or not) so I just gave up with that. I figure that they wouldn’t notice anything out of the ordinary because I’ve just got SO MANY of them.
OK, rest over. Back to cleaning…
Cool stuff that I obsess over
