けいおん！たくさんアニメがあるよ！
Well the Spring anime season is well underway now. Ill just point out the ones im watchign (i.e the best ones hahah)
K-On! - I love this one, its about a group of high school girls who make a rock band, its great! (especially when Krauser-sama from DMC turns up :p) also the ED is fantastikupo.
The ED (mio is the best or should i say YOMIo *cough* ga rei *cough*)
Higashi no eden (Eden of the east) - ive not watched this one yet, but i was initially intrigued for two reasons.
1: Oasis are doing the OP
2: its a new Production IG series. so im lookin' forward to it
Dragonball Kai - well so much for HD only the OP and ED are so far, seems exactly the same to me, but DBZ is DBZ so im watching it anyway!
FMA 2 - Not seen this one yet, havent seen the first season either so im not sure what to watch first.

Guitar Tales
Well today me and one of my friends from university (Liam, my fellow guitarist from the band [see a few posts ago hes in the pictures]) went to London today to see some guitars.
Denmark Street near Tottenham Court Road is the best place, literally 8 or so guitar shops on one short street! Its a good way to spend a few hours, which we happily did, sitting in the shops playing their gitboxes. We stumbled across one shop which ACTUALLY stock Schecter WOOHOO! finally, ive been trying to get a shcecter for a while now; anyway ive placed an order for one,
a Schecter Omen-7 Extreme. Seven strings for extra range heavy at the bottom without losing the top, a coil tap and a frikin sweet look, waddya think?
EDIT: Ok so i called them up today, and they said it was gonna be upto 5 months wait... so maybe not... Why must this always happen to me

TTGL
I just wanted to point out that Tengen Toppa Guren Lagann (or however you want to spell it) Episode 8 was the best 23minutes of TV ive seen in my life. Just Pure Win, but heart breaking ... :'( also the saddest 23 minutes of TV in my life.
俺を誰だと思ってやがる! カミナ、イヤアアアアアアア. The most manly character ever "awesome and badassitude incarnate" Just look at those glasses and the cape, you WISH that you are as cool as him!
This brings me nicely to my list of best episodes ever:
1. TTGL 8 - NOOOOOOOOOOO! Epic
2. Death Note 25 - FFFUUUUU that was clever
3. GiTS SAC 21+ 24 = kick ass awesome
4. Ga rei zero 8 + 9 = Baww :'(
5. ToraDora 16 = again, fantastic!
Just remember, dont believe in me who believes in you, dont believe in you who believes in me, believe in you, who believes in yourself! - Kamina (TTGL)
Never forget...

ただいま
Well im back in London, at home again for three weeks, horrah home cooking and not endless ready meals! But then saying that i am still sittin here eating these "builders breakfast" flavour crisps, i like them but i cant quite put my finger on exactly what they taste like, i cant exactly say i can taste the sausages and such, but theres definately the egg, strange.
Anyway yeah ive not posted for a few days, currently working on this Japanese politics essay "Why did the LDP dominate Japanese post war politics" if you have ideas let me know hah ;).
It certainly has been an interesting week though, on monday me and dad took the old bed frame down to the dump, but of course it didnt fit in the boot, so half closed it; however when we got there, there was a height restriction and speed bump (i think you see where this is going) drove over that, the boot flew up hit the barrier and SMASH back window is in thousands of pieces all over the place, was quite funny actually hah, moral of the story is: USE STRING OR SOMETHING TO HOLD THE BOOT LID DOWN IF IT WONT CLOSE!
Also as this is the first post since our gig on friday, thought id post some photos and let you all know how it went, well out setlist was
1. Alice Nine - Rainbows
2. Aya Hirano - God knows (from Haruhi)
3. Lithium Flower (ED from Ghost in the shell Series 1)
4. はるかかなた - Asian Kung-fu generation
5. For whom the bell tolls - Metallica
I personally thought it went pretty well, wasnt a packed stadium but hey gotta start somewhere!
And there we are lol
