殺害せよ!

So I promised myself I would buy this if I found it for as cheap as it's listed on Amazon.co.jp (¥1295... I got it for ¥1200. In America it'll run you around $25).



"I am a terrorist from Hell!
I don't have parents!
Because I killed them!"

He has 2 different heads and 5 (!) sets of hands, plus a removable cape (which is split into 3 parts so you can create extra drama) and guitar. I wasn't entirely sure at the time of purchase if I was doing the right thing, but when I got it out of the box today all of my doubts were erased by AWESOMENESS. Basically when I saw the review on ANN I knew I had to have it. It's my first figurine purchase (?). I'm such an otaku.

SPEED. METAL. HANDS.

休みの日!

So today was a holiday (National Foundation Day--I just looked it up) which means I went shopping with my host sister, Aika, in the trendy areas of Umeda and Namba. We had a lot of fun and bought a lot of cool things! We also took プリクラ of course. Now I'm going to show them all off! I also put a picture of my cell phone in a post a couple ones back.



It's winter sale time... やばい。


This was from this 300 yen store that sold jewelry that looks really fancy. I was entranced by the little crocheted balls.


Okay sorry this is MySpace-y, but showcased in this picture are the above necklace, this adorable heart-shaped tartan hair clip, and my wool dress I bought at Kyoto Station for 980 yen.

I also bought a pair of fancy tights that are a light blue/turquoise and do that fancy lace thing that I don't really know how to describe, but look super cool layered on top of solid tights. They were only 117 yen so I had to buy them.

プリクラ! I swear I will never get tired of this.

Yeah we badass. The other ones are all really cute too, but I can't put them on the Internet until I have access to a scanner, which will probably be back at home.

Also, funny story: this afternoon, before Aika and I left, we were hanging around the kitchen and I hear her humming Aqua Timez' Velonica, which is the current Bleach opening. I slyly go, "Aqua Timez?" which resulted in a hilarious conversation between the two of us and Kazuma, who likes to make gentle fun of me for being a nerd since I know a lot of obscure references. (Pretty much everyone I meet is always going なぜ知ってる! "Why do you know that!") I do a pretty good impression of the Aqua Timez lead singer, too.

Only two more days of classes and then it's the weekend! :D
