A Day with Kenn 6

Image by tafuto

Been a while since I've done one of these, but then again, it's also been a while since I did anything worth blogging about.

Woke up to not-fun-sounding strong winds whipping at the door and window. Scary sounding. Even scarier knowing that I'm going to have to be out there. Being dead tired didn't help either. Thankfully the rain and wind died down when I left. Actually, they just died. No rain or wind when I left.

Speaking of dying, there's a dead rat lying at the side of the sidewalk on the my way to the bus stop. Not a fun sight.

On the topic of rats, on the bus today, I spotted a crow trying to catch one. It was a little brown mouse or something like that running away from the crow, which was swooping down on it again and again. Nice to see crows going back to their natural methods of getting food, instead of rummaging through human trash.

Criminology was rather uneventful. Seem that I'm a class ahead in reading. Still need to finish making my notes to study for the midterm, which is in a month. Not fun. Criminology isn't as fun as Law 12 was. Maybe it was just the teacher (Mr. Fister was awesome).


Fact: Kenn is slowly killing himself.

After school food.  I guess you could call it lunch. Burger King. I discovered that more than a week of eating very little will cause your appetite to shrink by quite a bit. Couldn't finish this plate.

Whoppers taste much better with lots of Sriracha...so do the fries.

Anywho, my main machine (Windows XP) uses the voices of all five of the new girls! My laptop still uses Madobe Nanami (can't beat her), and in terms of usage, it's only natural that my main machine takes five girls to maintain. xD

Hey guys, on the laptop again. Haven't been using it recently, no real reason to. Anywho Microsoft had a promotion for a month (ended today) where you had to put keywords into their search engine, Bing. Each time you put keywords in, a meter went up. At 50% they'd give a present, and at 100% they'd give a special present. Knowing Japan's users, they reached 100% in no time. Result is after the jump.


 
Yes, that is my desktop. And so are the next five. The five Bing girls. Which one is your favourite? Mine is split between ナナ & ナナコ. These five are different and seperate from Madobe Nanami, the special character bonus for Windows 7. They all have 'ナナ' in their name, referring to 7, of Windows 7. ^^; The Nanami you see down below isn't the same Nanami as this Nanami.

Manga of ze Week - Blood Alone


Image from here

=3= Not sure what to catagorize this one as.


Title: Blood Alone
Author: Takano Masayuki
Genre: Seinen, Drama, Romance, Mystery, Supernatural
Serialized in: Media Works Dengeki Daioh, Infinity Studios (English License, never heard of them either)
Total Volume Count: 5 (ongoing)

Summary from Infinity Studios
Enter Misaki, perhaps the most innocent and most sincere young lady there ever was. It’s almost inconceivable that she could be a vampire. And with her powers as a vampire, she could easily entice any human to do her bidding…but she chooses not to. Especially when it comes to Kuroe, a young author who has a deep running past with vampires. This wonderful story of pure innocent love charmingly bonds Misaki to the readers. She’ll absolutely delight you with her earnest love for a human and her resolve to protect a willing mutual relationship versus turning Kuroe.
Kenn's Comment: The manga's events, for some of them at least, are based on Takano's original works for this. Was originally a set of doujinshi, with the same characters and whatnot, and each book would be a different event, ie. a Christmas night or whatnot. Anywho, it's a good series. A nice charm to it. Again, the sites I use to look around for information about manga classified this as shounen, and I really didn't buy that, so I gave it a seinen tag. Plus the doujins are seinen, so why wouldn't by the adaptation be? MangaFox gave this a Lolicon tag. I can't really rule that out, though at the same time, I can't say it's really lolicon. =3= Plus Lolicon seems to carry a certain stigma that makes people avoid it. =3=
