| | Time went by fast... It's already near the end of january and I still haven't worked on my new year's resolutions. I vowed to at least spend a little time to update this so-called blog once a week, so here come the first post of the year 2008.
I have not been watching a lot of anime lately. The only one I'm still sticking with is of course the cheesy animated bandai scale model commercial "Gundam 00". Wow, three new mecha which share 70% of parts(see ep. 15,16). Now that Sunrise has obviously declared that plot takes second in all new gundam series, why not introduce a new gundam in each episode? It's not like I want to learn more about the "gundam meisters" anyway. (except Lena(in her normal-suit), just maybe?)
Recently I've been obsessed with digital photography. Me love photography long time, and I once wanted to be a photo journalist in my youth. Now that the DSLRs (digital single lens reflex?) are getting cheaper and cheaper, I bought my first DSLR during the time this blog went to hiatus (around summer last year). Now I'm just a couple L lenses($1,000 lenses) short from officially entering my midlife crisis.
With the new camera, I went to Japan with my buddy and took over 6GB(about two thousand?) of pictures during the 4 day visit. You probably already read the post about the Tokyo Game Show one. I planed to finish the series this year as part of my resolution. Hopefully I'll stick with it, because the TGS certainly wasn't the best part of the trip.
カタ過多（おもしろ片仮名）Katakata Corner (Katakana fun)
Para-glider School = Pina colada Scoop?
most of you should know that I have a hard time reading Katakana (due to extreme inferior english literacy). I was searching for an image of ロールアウト(roll out) in google image search went I came across this site:
www5.big.or.jp/~ookubo/iwaya.htm
a web site promoting "sky sports" in the 岩屋山 (Mt. Iwaya).
now this photo has misled me to think that the school is some type of ice cream stand selling pina colada ice-cream scoop (lol, ice cream on my mind in 40 degrees weather?). Of course, an average person read further down that site and look at the para-gliding pictures below will figure out it is in fact a para-glider school; but as you all know I'm that 1 in a million idiot.
正解(correct answer)：
パラグライダースクール(as seen in the picture) = pa-ra-gu-ra-i-da--su-ku--ru = para-glider school
ピニャコラーダスクープ = pi-nya-ko-ra--da-su-ku--pu = pina colada scoop

Inside joke corner:
A technique named by the master footballer Tony K--k, now I must photoshop something to popularize the "super technique" of Gouki/豪鬼/Akuma. As if my MSN avatar wasn't enough, here's the full definition picture of the technique demonstrated by no other but the master Gouki himself.
