Welcome!

The most accurate way to describe the site you've ventured uppon at this moment might be 'a blog'. But then again, the owner and maintainer of the site doesn't really like blogs. He doesn't read many blogs, he doesn't lurk the blogosphere, he doesn't want to be 'part of the community'. On the other hand, he likes to share with stuff. Be it knowledge, opinions, new stuff, old stuff, and generally that what he finds interesting.

Short news: In other news, I'm lazy to write articles. Someone should kick my ass.

Well well well. An update after some months. This time, unlike last year, I will be giving a more broad view about this year's Pohoda festival (since no tents collapsed, hooray!)

Figures

Wow, that was fast! Only a few days after receiving Marisa, the next package arrived, this time from hlj.com once again. I'm going back to filling up my Type-Moon collection with this one - as my newest acquisition is Ryougi's all-time rival in love, the incestuous fire mage, Kokutou Azaka.

Figure review - Marisa Kirisame Rev. TOKIAME

Happy new year! What a nice present to start the year with, won't you agree? This figure was in my sight since a long time ago. Then, AmiAmi put it on stock back in November I think, and I couldn't resist.

Figure review - Candy Boy figures by Good Smile Company

12.11. 2009 by harph

Figures

And as promised, November brought another wonderful addition to my evergrowing collection of evil money-sucking collectables from the land of the rising sun. I have never before ordered more than one figure at a time, so I was curious how this will go. And of course, the Sakurai sisters from the Candy Boy OVA had a rough time in customs.

What can I do, first time this happened. HLJ sent the package through customs, and so I had to pay the 19% VAT, that means 19€ (Yeah, the order was 99.2€). But still, it was worth it I guess.

Sandisk Sansa Fuze

05.10. 2009 by harph

Audio, Hardware

So, I forgot to write about this when I bought it, but here goes anyway. For some weeks now I've been walking around with a Sandisk Sansa Fuze player in my pocket. I wanted a new player, since my old Sencor broke (fallen on the pavement -> broken display... Sucks). I used my Sony Ericsson K800i, but that thing only has 1GB of memory, so I just decided to buy something bigger.

Awesome Cougars Anonymous Free Radio

Music, Web

For some time now I've been listening and streaming on www.awesomecougars.org - a project, which consists of an internet shoutcast radio (and a video stream as of late) that plays music. But, the point is there are no stable DJs - it is you who can come and play some music any time the stream is free. It was created back in december 2007 - january 2008, but now it's back again for and it keeps going. I'm going to keep supporting as long as I can, because I think it's a great idea. ~~Play here:~~
