How can one forget their future?

Happy new years, this is a milestone for this blog of mine.

Just to update, the fall anime of 2008 has concluded.

Kannagi

This Anime ended strong, had a lot of funny moments and also quite deep philosophical definitions of self. I like that. It has a lot of shout outs to other KyoAni shows, the Karaoke Bar and the Tsugumi goes to the mall scene that Haruhi shows up. Yup, mind half way blown. When the US DVD’s come up, this is my first pick.

Yozakura Quartet

Sadly, I kind of dropped this series near the end due to the sad story compared to the Manga. I had high hopes, but this failed. The story was bland, nothing really that original, and there was not much there in content. Will continue the manga, but the anime only if I had some spare time.

Rosario to Vampire Capu2

This is some serious Adaptation Decay. I cannot really fathom the lack of depth to this show. I just watched it to just see the characters. In the manga you don’t see Moka’s father, it does not mention Kahlua, and made the other girls just plain one dimensional. I wanted to see more ogre action from Tsukune and some funny chibi stuff from Kokoa and Yukari. I did laugh at the Iro-iro episode that shows more of the side stories. That was all.

Next time, Impressions from the new Winter 2009 Season.
Akitan

Where a guy who collects rare cans who finds that in a regular can of melon soda finds it transforms into a girl. It has the same voice actor of Lelouch as the lead. want to see

Tetsuwan Birdy Decode 02(I think)

Second season to the Summer block buster. Can’t wait.

Minami-ke Okaeri

I want to see more Minami sisters

Possibly some more if I have the time.

Currently Watching

Clannad After Story

Some serious moments after High School. Like is there more, but I have to see if Tomoya can see if there more after High School. Life is not all that great, but for me my life really started after I turned 21, and started to change myself. Clannad really drives that home, that you find yourself out of school, friends, and the drudge of finding a life style.

To Aru Majitsu no index

the story deepens as Touma finds the hidden secrets to Gakuen-machi (Academy City). The Pacing in slow on 11-12, but I like none the less.

Toradora

I thought this was going to be like the other tsundere type shows like Zero no Tsukaima, but it is not. It actually has conflict, has deep back stories and also a plot. I want to see more, it’s only halfway done. I think there is more to the novels than in the anime. So, a likely second season. Yahoo!!

See you next time, on my happy go bust blog!

After spending some anxious moments in my Japanese final, I forgot the verbs for wearing clothes but only remembered the one “Nuide kudasai”. You don’t need to know any Japanese to figure that one out..

The next day was a good day of lack of sleep and forgetting how to use the formula for Doppler shift and re working the problem a few times until it made sense. I am pretty good at figuring out how the physical reality has to meet mathematical formality. I think that makes me fit to be a physicist. I was the first one done on my calculus III final. I did not mess up one bit except for one part that need me to look up a integral in the textbook and Dr. Murray was not there to verify that we had an open book test and my HP 50 I think helped. I saw everyone else in the class had copies if those tables and I just had my calculator. I think that’s fair enough. It’s too hard to enter that equation into the calculator in RPN or equation writer mode for a derivative. So I took it one piece at a time and made a good looking answer. I love at the end of the text was pretty much redoing the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Yep, good times, good times…

I picked up a book of self study of General Theory of Relativity. Since I understand a lot of that stuff after Calculus III. I am going to have a good time with that. I can know do and understand it much better know than when I first saw the equations years ago. A LOT of vector and matrix math, and also introduction and Calculus of Tensors. Yahoo!!!

Now it’s the time of the season for Christmas and for doing the good work. Going to have some time to play more Tsukihime, start to play Fate/Stay Night and probably some more. Waiting for some more Anime to come and need to do a photo shoot of my figmas. I can’t beleive I have SEVEN of them. Only took ONE to have a decent photo shoot.

Not much else to say just that I’ll be taking the New Mexico Rail Runner to Santa Fe tomorrow for less than ten dollars since I get a student discount. I hope my brother will come too to wander around one of the oldest cities in the US. Also, I haven’t really looked around there since I was like ten years old when my Grandparents used to live there.

Off I go, I’ll be around the net!

Hey it’s me. I have not fallen off the earth yet. I was just waiting for a space this week in order to update the blog. Now to what I want to say.

I had some fun the past weeks from watching Tsukiyomi and waiting for stuff in the mail. I finally got my Nanoha figma from Hobby Search after my bank refused to allow that transaction. I have Fate and Nanoha sitting right next to each other and they are pretty cool I’ll post some pictures in the coming weeks. The Ryoko Asakura figma came in too, I seem to have a whole bunch time to dedicate to this but I spent my time on Japanese and Physics. Ryoko, as you might know, is the classroom president and goes try to kill Kyon. The figma comes with a hand just to hold the knife, and it comes with Taniguchi’s head too, (it’s going to be a while before I get a male figma.) and it is really neat to carry around and I like the figma because of the blue hair and what the character is.

Not much else for now.

First I want to say I had a blast at the Anime and Japanese Culture club party. I said some stuff earlier and I finally got the pictures and here they are. I might in the future remove some pictures if the parties in the photos want me to remove them.

Here’s what I have been watching the past week or so on my spare time.
Mahou Shoujo Ririkaru Nanoha. (Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha)
I think this is a really cool series that has a lot of thought provoking and just plain good “what if” material. The following sites provide much better info and saves me a lot of time of writing.
Magical Girl Nanoha- TV tropes.org
ANN Magical Girl Nanoha

Well I’ll be out there. see you guys at the meeting.

This is the first “real” physics post here. For the past couple of weeks I have been reading the Biography of Albert Einstein. I have only been ready little by little so I haven’t got really far. Only to the point of the start of World War I. It is really interesting that Einstein had so much trouble with his detachment of being human to his family, and to see the beginnings of his role as world ambassador. His struggle with his own shortcomings caused by his carelessness in school caused so much trouble in his formulation of The General Theory of Relativity. He thought that the most of high level geometry was not needed for use in physics and special features of high mathematics. Also his own doubts about what is real and what is just fancy speculation form mathematicians. The speculations into string theory does apply as if the research into the one theory can unify the atomic world with the macroscopic one of General Relativity. Earlier this summer I read the the book The Elegant Universe by Brain Greene. The more I read into this book the more I felt this does not describe how I think the universe should work. Also keep in mind that Einstein, even until his death, maintained that quantum theory did not fit his universe, in which he had helped create, kept and open mind towards that. I think it is good to keep an skeptical mindset on any theory until it has been thoroughly proven in the lab. I have become more of an skeptic as I read more into these Grand Unifying Theories. I have a little of my own, but I don’t have the tools and the time to explain it properly and also more insight into the universe.

Well, it has been a fun week.

In a landslide election, Barack Obama has been chosen by the People of the United States.

When I came to the polls here at the Presbyterian Church, around 10:35 AM, I came in. Looked around and saw my district 30 table. Verified, and picked up my ballot and changed the world. Then after choosing the best solutions for my community, I took my paper ballot and placed into the scanner.

This is the feeling of elation after changing the world. After all of the votes, the speeches and the parties now and to come. The dawn of the New World is November 5, 2008. The First day is on January 20, 2009. We will fight for a new tomorrow, a Brave New World is out there. We will be here to see it begin, a Neon Genesis of mankind.

Good night, and Goodbye from the Old World Order.

Here’s a overexposed picture of her.

I know, it’s all I got.

I went to the Halloween party at the UNM Anime club area. There was cosplay, pumpkin carving, candy, karaoke, and of course the mandatory horror movies. I need to get the names of the cosplayers and characters. I not good with names just faces. I’ll post the pictures of what went down earlier today.

For the past year or so I have seen various Vocaloid videos. I think this is the one that is the most interesting.

I have had Haku on my HP 50g calculator case for almost a year and did not post a picture of her until now.

I love hanging it on my belt seriously.
Yes, seriously.

PS, I am seeing if “Quality vs. Quantity” argument holds true, and if you are a regular, just drop a line I’ll consider it.
PPS, I know I have a TI 84 SE there, I have not used it for really anything for a year. That paper in the background is the shipping papers that came with the Hatsune Miku Figma.

I think this season is going to be good. I like the line up so far. Here comes the introductory write up for this season.
I have watched three episodes of each.

To aru Majitsu no Index

This series started out pretty good. A girl with no memories prior to her being Japan. Running away from the enemy ending up on the balcony railing of an apartment. Touma, a low level high school student, tries to “rescue” a girl from a group of men hitting up on her. But, in the end he is being chased by the guys and he and the girl fight off the guys. They end up fighting each other and his unique talents are displayed.
It seems it like the usual a guy finds an lost girl and it starts from there, but this has a similar ring to this series. I’ll keep watching this because Index is crazy.

Rosario to Vampire Capu2

This series is way different from the manga. This second season introduces Moka’s little sister Kokoa. I think that’s about it. This is a train that wont crash onto another train, but a wall. I want to see if Tsukune gets more interaction with Moka’s other self as in the manga, I can only hope. I’ll keep watching this ruinous show just because I like the characters in action, not the story.

Clannad~After Story~

I like how this season has started. More hilarious Sunohara action and more Mrs Furukawa ( Kikuo Inoue ). She finally says “I am seventeen years old.” line. It’s her trademark. Now is the Sunohara/Sister arc I guess and to see what happens in episode four. I can’t wait, how much I like Key and KyoAni.

Toradora

After seeing the end of the third season of Zero no Tsukaima, I wanted to see more Louise type of action. It is not just plain mean tsundere behavior, but a simpler cool reaction with crazy outbursts of insanity. I like the mold being broken on Ryuuji, he looks like a killer but is a very responsible guy who takes care of his ditzy Mom after his father died. Then after his encounter with Taiga, he looks after her too. They both like other people and group up to get what they think they want. So, I’ll keep an eye on this cool/insane romantic comedy.

Kannagi: Crazy Shrine Maidens

After a long time spent carving this statue from a God Tree, he rests and remembers he has to get to class. He drags it around trying to figure out how to put it on his bike, something strange happens. a girl breaks out from the wood and calls herself Nagi. She is the god of the city in the form of a human that is living in the same house with him. You have to see what happens next with the Art Club and Akiba-kun. Yes, I like how this is going.

Yozakura Quartet

I first spotted this a manga from my local bookstore and thought it was interesting enough to buy it.Then after looking up the Japanese website, I found out they were going to make an Anime from the manga after only releasing three volumes. It took a lot of patience to finally start to see the Anime gaining momentum. Need to see how this goes, waiting for volume three here in the US.

Some time last week a unknown person backed up into my truck’s front license plate and damaged my “B4K4″ plate.

I think this reeks of Baka.
