Anime convention this Saturday!

This Saturday I will be visiting my very first anime convention! Mood wise I have been up this week but I was a bit down yesterday due to a mix of things. Funny thing was that my girl friend was too but it wasn’t because of the same issues. It’s nothing serious, just every now and then, you have that slight slump that you trip into and easily step out of.

The convention is called Yasumi-con. Yasumi is Japanese for like a day off/holiday (no work). This year, the convention is taking place at a university so it’s right on campus and roughly 25mins away from my house. My Japanese Meet-up group will be there as well so we are going to meet-up in the beginning and hang out until then. I am hoping for sushi and karaoke afterwards if we can rent out a room early enough. I haven’t had a Saturday off for about 2 years so this is one I am proud of!

I am trying out Foxy Tunes. It’s a simple add-on that automatically posts the title of the song that is currently playing through your media player, to your post. Pretty neat stuff.

Now playing: B’z - IT’S SHOWTIME!!

You have friends! http://mixi.jp/

Mika-chan told me about the awesomely contagious Japanese version of myspace called mixi! Except not just anyone can join. You must be invited by a friend or relative to actually take part in the website.

The website has some neat functions. You can install a toolbar for quick access to your profile or blog and even have it scan what songs you play to have it updated in your music box. These are just some of the many neat things you can do with the website but alas, you must install side software to do so. Many of us PC Techs aren’t too fond of side software, it tends to contain stupid third party software.

Maybe I’ll install it on the laptop since when in school, I’ll have quick access to the account.

Mixi welcomes you to the fun!
