Wow, There's A Lot Of Dust In Here
This post is going to be straightforward; sorry for not updating in months. Right above these words is the unboxing of the Bishoujo Rogue figure/statue from Kotobukiya. I got it on Monday and expected it to come to me today. It looks really good and I love the design of her from artist Shunya Yamashita. It almost made me consider getting the Black Widow figure/statue. Anyway, I also posted a bunch of pictures of Bishoujo Rogue on Twitter, and you can find them over on my TwitPic account.
More points:
-I advise you or anyone reading this blog to follow me on Twitter. Or, at the very least, bookmark my Twitter page. I update there a lot. Like, heavily. Say what you will about the service, it is bloody easy to become addictive to it, especially with tools like twhirl. It's great.
-Last month, I became a writer/reporter for gaijINside, a nerdy newssite/blog dealing with nerdy things. Cartoons, comics, video games, sci-fi, gadgets, and toys, we cover the bases as best as we can. I will be linking to my reviews/featured articles on here, like my review of Black Lagoon Vol. 7. Black Lagoon is a badass series and well worth your time to watch the anime series and read the manga volumes. Just don't begin with Vol. 7 because you will be lost and partially disappointed.
-I'm also writing for my school's newspaper, The Tiger's Roar. I'll post any articles that hit the net on here and pick up the August/September issue later this month if you live in the Savannah, GA area.
-Also, tomorrow (as of this post), I'll be going to Anime Weekend Atlanta, an anime convention held on Sept. 18-20 this year. I will be doing many things, chief among them is picking up 12 effing volumes of Love Hina.One of my friends on Toon Zone tried to sway me away from this series last Sunday because it sucked to him and gave away spoilers. First off, I enjoy Love Hina. Secondly, I have looked at the cover of the final fucking volume before he even spoiled it (it pays to be at Barnes and Noble for hours without working there!). And finally, the series has been fucking discontinued without any chance of it getting republished. Either way, I have gone off-topic. Next point!
-I will be in Atlanta this weekend. I will have little to no Internet since I'm staying at the con hotel (the Renaissance Waverly), where they charge you extra for Internet regardless if it's wired or wireless. I have my cell phone on me, so expect some updates on my Twitter account. Also, gaijINside (the site I now work for) will be there, and they too will be updating on their Twitter feed as well as the main site. I'll also be bringing my video camera, my Flip video camera (responsible for all of my videos), and my new digital camera, so expect some pictures and videos in the coming days and weeks.

Pure Randomness #004
The picture above is from the one-shot manga Tonari no Tarō-kun, in which someone who looks like President Obama and his neighbor, who looks like Japanese Prime Minister and self-proclaimed otaku Tarō Asō, get involved in kinky situations. BTW, did I mention this is an erotic manga? No? Okay, then. For more NSFW "highlights" (for a lack of a better term), go here. If you want to learn more about Obama, Asō, and their connections to manga and Japan in a safe-for-work manner, go here.
But, the thing that startled my mind is not that Obama is in an ero-manga, it's who else is involved. In the pic above, you see that fake-Obama's wingpeople are lookalikes of John McCain and Hilary Clinton. McCain doesn't bother me. It's Hilary. Because she's hot. I mean she's hot. Look again at the pic above. Now, look at the pic below of the real Hilary:

Sorry, scotsindependent.org, but your pic of Hil was the first result on Google Image Search

As you can see, fake Hilary looks younger than the real deal. Heck, I now have a plan to use the person I now dubbed "Hot Hilary" in a future post.
Speaking of future postings, here's what else you can expect from BPR:
