Spring 2011 anime roundup

TL;DR try the ones I recommended. I tried to sort them from best to worst to unwatched, but this is not always true. If I update / add something it will jump to the top (assuming I like it).

placeholder for Yozakura Quartet: Hoshi no Umi OVA

For a more in-depth review of some of the anime listed here (nana to kaoru, nichijou, denpa onna, kaiji...) go to Analog Housu, the blog of the guy who formerly did that otaku webcomic


Honto ni Atta! Reibai Sensei (added 27/4/11)
TYPE: a comedy with a short attention span which is often about odd topics

This is a short flash anime. I'm putting this at the top because it's most likely to be the one you don't know about. It is in a similar style to Haiyouru! Nyaruani but seems more funny and seems to have more actual animation this time round. Runtime is 5 minutes with the ED so it doesn't hurt to try it.


Nichijou
TYPE: light hearted comedy with awesome animation

(Stylised) Animation is awesome, could watch this show just for that. It also makes me laugh, which not many anime are capable of doing. It remians pg as well (the way it looks), although surprised me with the random BL drawing in episode 2. Everyone must watch this, or at least try it! 5stars AA++++ WOULD WATCH AGAIN


Hana-Saku Iroha
TYPE: uplifting Drama/Comedy/Coming of age? story

Everyone seems to love this, and after the first ep, I didn't. But after watching the second ep, I can safely say i'll follow this series to the end, due to it's nice animation, liekable and developing characters, and (third statement makes my writing sound better). You should try this one as well, reader. EDIT2: watched third and fourth episode. whoever is writing this seems to have the same tastes as I found yuri and shibari in the same epsidode. BUT THAT ISN'T EVEN WHY YOU SHOULD WATCH IT.


Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko
Type: lovely Shaft/Shinbo insanity. Think bakemonogatari but for normal people. see analoghousu link at the top for details.

I will probably stick with this series...need to see more episodes before I make a descision. Looks like i'll be in it for the characters rather than the plot, although the female main could turn out to be a yuki nagato (dislike).


Steins;Gate
I like it so far (i usually like science fiction stuff). The main charcter is already getting boring at episode 2, but I like the looks of the female character. Watching for plot, but also to see how the characters are (they are SOMEWHAT likeable)


Hen Zemi TV + OVAS
I love the art style, and sometimes the humor. It is entertaining on a shock level as well as genuinely entertaining/funny sometimes. The OVAS (2) which have been released are longer (~26mins) and contain far more sexually explicit content than the tv series. I wonder if ordinary people (not perverts like me) will understand the OVAs... TL;DR: watch it if you're into something a bit wierd!


Dororon Enma-kun Meeramera
I don't know of anyone who is watching this. This is a remake of an anime (which itself was probably an adaptation of a manga). Only got into it because of a review/preview I read on the net. It has pretty damn awesome retro animation, you should watch ep 1 just for that. Additionally, it is actually funny sometimes / has a fast pace so is entertaining. Reminds me of Panty and Stocking except without all the crudeness and crude humour (only a little bit of panty of stocking mind you). Not sure if i'll keep watching the whole seres but will at least watch the next one.

Tiger & Bunny
After watching the first few minutes, I wasn't too sure about this one. But after watching the first episode (which does not really contain a plot hook) I still want to watch the next one, to follow the story of the main chracter cause he seems like a good guy. No, really.

Astallote no Omocha!
EDIT: it's actually ok. Sorta like hayate no gotoku. ignore what i said earlier.

A Channel
watched first episode. not as good as I thought it would be, I didn't even like it despiteit's shoujo-ai undertones. As everyone else says, it reminds me of k-on and lucky star, except it doesn't seem quite as good as either (well I didn't like k-on that much to begin with..)

[C] – The Money of Soul and Possibility Control
Watched first ep. Really dislike it for some reason....the premise and the characters. Other people like it though, so you should give it a try. The ED is sorta nice looking though. I read somewhere they decoded the QR codes and they actually say somethign

30-sai no Hoken Taiiku
Watched the first episode. I didn't like the humor all that much. The main female character hasn't been properly introduced yet. I 'll probably know if I like it by the second episode.

Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai
strange I haven't got this yet, it has already come out and looks like my kind of thing

Dog Days
apparetnly it has lots of boobies (starting from second ep) but I haven't seen them yet. I mean I haven't seen the first ep yet, not the boobies.

Ore-tachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai
Quite itnersting, I have not read up on this so after watching the first episode I was a bit confused. It kept me entertained but for some not so good reasons, perhaps the panty shots and stupid situations. I rememeber the loli also. Need moar eps to make judgemebnt

Hidan no Aria
watched first episode. will probably not watch this at all, due to being somewhat stereotypical, and having a somewhat unlikeable premise for me. has kugiyama rie in it (i think) as a main character. you will probabyl like it if you like shonen, fighting, and kugiyama rie.


Yondemasu yo, Azazel-san TV
Ah, this. Well, I can tell you it has kugiyama rie although in a small side role. It also has biri biri (dono seiyuu's name) and vash from trigun as voice actors for main characters. It's short (12 mins). Try the first episode and see for yourself! I don't remember it being extremley funny, but it was entertaining, and I did not get bored.

Deadman Wonderland
One of the few series I have a love/hate relationship. Breaking it into parts should be easiest:

Music: fitting and non-generic. I like it.

Characters: generic and uninteresting after the first episode. The hot chick is hot though. and a g.

Plot/setting: Somewhat interesting but also somewhat insane...probably can't swallow it unless it's sprinkled with cocaine, which it isn't (cocaine = lovable characteres)

Direction: Not good, althuogh may have been a result following the manga too closely. It's hard to empathise with characters which you have had no time to build up a relationship with, unless you really know what you're doing. By the end of the first episode I wasn't very moved by what happened. I assume the directors would have had more character dev if they had infinite time to write the story

Art: not generic, but I don't love it either. I do have a thing for silver/white haired characters though.

Gintama 2
I only went through some of the original gintama so will probably never end up watching this until sometime inmy late 30s

MARIA†HOLIC 2 – Alive
watched the first ep, seems like more of the first season

Soft Tennis
attempted to watch the first episode but failed. will write more when I actualyl watch it

OVAS
Nana to Kaoru OVA
Only watch if you have read the mangas, otherwise it won't make much sense / you will have no relation to the charactesr (much like the sono hanabira OVA released a while ago). Additionally, as my friend said, the drawing style takes a bit of getting used to...

Ore no Imouto wa konna ni kawaii wake ga nai 13/14(hey, I nearly memorized it!)
If you want to learn how to say 'anal fuck' in japanese, watch it. I quite enjoyed 13 and 14, but as always some segments of these episodes were not so awesome (patchy enjoyment levels). Still worth watching if you're a fan of the series / are otaku enough.

Kämpfer: Für die Liebe - unwatched, didn't watch kampher

Highschool of the Dead OVA – Drifters of the Dead - unwatched. didn't watch highschol of the deade

ALSO TO NOTE:
Hoshi ni Negai wo Cold Body x Warm Heart
saw HOSHI ni NEgai wo part 1? Cold Body x Warm Heart. Was ok, especialy if you like sci-fi, however overall wasn't that good (and didn't contain THAT much real animation (as opposed to CG), understandable coming from a small studio). Something that you might show to your kids, maybe.TL;DR: plot not so good, but likebale in an odd way (lol tldr doesn't match actuall descrip)

fine

here is my astonishing update. 

lately i have been watching anime but not as much as ryan, who, having devoured honey and clover, k-on, mai-hime and minami-ke recently, is now almost through season two of kimi ni todoke. his method of marathoning I find frightening, anyway, I have been watching at my usual pace which is approximately 1 ep a day... after watching mai-hime for the third time while waiting for new eps of kimi ni todoke to come out, I finally decided to watch Toradora! This was a good decision, I LIKE IT, yay.

The weather has been EXTREMELY COLD of late. It is upsetting, and induces shameful showering habits. Do people try to take 4 minute showers using those timer things that were given out? I find it hard to stick to, but generally attempt. However it is SO COLD NOW, the allure of perfumed steam is too great. 

I also have too much bread. Does anyone want bread from breadtop? I can't resist taking it home but we can't eat that much...or rather, I am not sure if anyone would want to eat that much. @____@ : ( 

um. I wish i had other exciting things to say, but I don't really but here you go hungy, this quick post may fulfil your wishes i hope?! maybe wong will post immediately after this, and push this post down (excellent). 

oh dear

How shameful. i discovered two drafts from not so long ago, which were, for some reason, never published (nor finished). oh dear! anyway, here i am after much encouragement/prodding, to entertain and hopefully my audience retain. err. 

Recently I have been doing not much except spending a lot of time either with ryan, bread/cake or my jap textbook (and code geass r2 ♥ cc!) so i thought i would blog about some movies i've seen lately as i seem to have been watching many. 

in no particular order:

The Reader

This was a very emotionally distressing film, but one that i thought was excellent in its construction/execution! it was pretty also, and i thought the romance was quite beautiful, though others might feel it were inappropriate. anyway, it was very sad, but not in an overly gratuitous or irritating way. 

The Piano

This was also semi-distressing but more so in its general atmosphere rather than in specific events. also, the characters (particularly the protagonist/pianolady) were very peculiar! my general impression, if i were to translate the entire film into a single image, would be a tangled, thorny bush on bleak and blackened ground that produces startling red flowers. i liked this film quite a lot and i am not sure why! i suppose the music was also exciting - does anyone know "the heart asks pleasure first"? it is a piano piece (obviously) and is in the piano for leisure book series...anyway, the music (mostly solo piano, but with some string accompaniment) is all by michael nyman and contributes greatly to the atmosphere. i want to watch this movie again! i want to write more, but i will stop, it is silly.

Pan's Labyrinth

I am not sure what to say about this film. It was pretty, both visually and in storyline/characters, and seemed fairytale-like. ryan said it was magical-realism and i feel that it is quite similar in a way to books like chronicle of a death foretold, or house of spirits, but probably more enchanted/MAGICAL. hmm, the music was also okay, also, i wish to say that people who thought this film would scare me were very silly! goodness, it is only slightly gory, but the atmosphere is not conducive to great terror - it is too magical and not creepy enough. also, i did not think the characters were real people, sorry.

Les Choristes

YAY. this is a very nice film! the music is very pretty, it is a french film about shameful/delinquent boys who become choristers, except they are very young/small/cute/strangely good at singing! it is funny, and heartwarming. plus it is french, so is nice! ♥ i liked this film a lot, and would recommend it to EVERYONE.

Date Night

oh dear. tina fey is ♥♥ but i think i may be unused to comedies! also some people like steve carroll. anyway, this movie was quite funny i suppose, but also ridiculous, and kind of tiring to watch as well, because it was so hectic. anyway, i do like tina fey ♥

Tangled

Tangled! i probably don't have to say much about this one, since everyone's already seen it (i assume), except that i liked it, and she was cool, and had exciting hair, and i liked the lantern scene a lot. 

sigh. i hope this was interesting, and also everyone should watch 30 rock! ♥

my excellent l1f3

recently i have been doing many exciting things, following end of exams. yay! 

Today I went to Castlemaine! It was pretty, and I want to live in Castlemaine now. Plus all the streets had funny names, like Lyttleton Street. Also I went into the bookstore and found a book full of poetry by students at the Castlemaine high school. How impressive. The students had cool names also, like Zorro Maplestone (this is not a joke). Damn being asian. I have now decided my name is Gertrude Heartson.

Other exciting things that have happened include my visitation of passionflower. OMG this was very exciting/wonderful. Ryan and I consumed Sticky Rice, Passionfruit and Espresso, all of which were quite overwhelming particularly the passionfruit sorbet. I also heard a great song about peacocks*.

Speaking of songs, I have been listening to Taylor Swift and John Mayer lately. I really like say! and slow dancing. ♥ 

Now I must insert a picture for aesthetic purposes.

macaroons from Lindt cafe from ryan ♥

How are your holidays going?

*have researched on wikipedia and it is by Katy Perry. I hope Katy obtains that coveted glimpse of the peacock. Also I believe this song would be greatly superior if it were by Ke$ha, just saying.

the joys of uni life

Steph promotes mount franklin ♥ 

How embarrassing. I have not posted for many days/weeks months. In fact i have a feeling I have not posted for the entirety of the semester...oh dear! How embarrassing.

Many things have excited me lately eg. music/anime/vce....HMM

I also made the same brownie recipe three times - the first turned out like stale bread as I forgot to add enough butter. The second time, it was really cakelike for some reason. So the third time I actually made it into muffin-shapes in the hope that it could just actually be a cake and there would be no shameful recipe failing, but i put too much mixture in the tins or something and they overflowed and looked like mushrooms.

AHHH. i just looked through 3 pages of mushrooms in an attempt to find an appropriate image to link to. Unfortunately it was too nauseating/appalling and I gave up...it was like a normal cake with a ridiculous fringe type thing. Kind of like my fringe. Not really. Actually, I am having issues deciding whether to go back to side fringe or to retain this funny not quite straight fringe type thing - due to my laziness I am kind of in an inbetween state atm...gosh. Perhaps I should dye it all pink, i have had this urge lately...oh dear!

Wow. I wonder why i do not blog more often. Look at this really interesting subject material i've delved into.

Here is another photo to brighten up the post! Look at our great camwhoring skills...

Wong & I (like the king and i)

I am great at taking pictures.

Other interesting things:

- peanut butter

have you made anything with peanut butter lately? How do YOU feel about peanut butter? ♥

Convergence

Convergence is some site for MONASH users to correlate their time tables/find out when other people are free. It was made by Karlgren's friend.

restaurant standards: 1228

MY. POST. WAS. DELETED.

As a result i will now upload all the images i was intending to post in it and remove my commentary!!!!!!!!!!! okay, i lied, i can't bring myself to not-write..

katherine made me a wonderful omelette and also some yummy oatmeal pancakes. they were so healthy seeming but not really but mostly very very delicious! YAY. she has now inspired me to cook more.

who could resist this smiling innocent face? ♥

I also recently went to a cafe in Box Hill called 1228! It is opposite the tramstop and is Steph's favourite cafe. Yes, we met at 12:28pm (though regrettably not on the 28th of December. additionally i was late, as is typical of me. shameful). 

Wong had the lunch special, a bento box. steph and i chose it for him because there were "so many choices". He refused to look at the menu after this, to choose a more suitable meal. Oh well, he seemed to enjoy it. I enjoyed his drink, it was tangy - Passionfruit Milky Tea! aww. Steph had lychee and I had honey, which INFINITELY SUBTLE YET COMPLEX. Their bubble tea is good and standard-price. They also had, under the jelly/pearl additions, "mango". Wong exclaimed over this, but sadly Steph informed him that it was probably "mango jelly". sadness!

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
my restaurant review is failing.

I ate their special or something, it was "small". anyway it was REALLY DELICIOUS and i keep CRAVING IT. $8.50 for a large bowl!

They also had cute colourful walls and random triangles on the ceiling. Also, you order by ticking things on a piece of paper, which the waiters then come around and collect! 
All in all, a cute and cheap cafe with good/filling food, large serves and nice bubble tea.
RATING:  ♥♥♥♥♥ (make of this what you will)

I highly recommend it!

Man Journal, Part 1

First part of my man-journal. The guy whose name I forgot from Japanator coined the previously mentioned phrase 'man journal'.

02/07/10 - Friday
Meals:
Toast for lunch, doritos as snack, pizza for dinner, 3 slices of pizza at about 1:30AM

Sleep Time:
Woke up at 12:00PM. Slept briefly while ben was here at about 4/5 ??? Slept from 4:00AM to 2:00PM the next day

Notable activities:
Ben came over, woke me up at 12. Left at 6:45. Immediately after disassembled laptop to fix broken headphone jacks. Fixed both headphone jacks without soldering anything, but accidentally made one of the jacks think something is plugged in all the time, hence speakers don't work.
My brother is having a sleepover at our house today with some friends.
TPG has not switched over my internet yet :(
Played Fate/Stay Night for a bit at some point. Happy that voices work in this version of it.

Anime watched:
4? episodes of Trigun, 1.5 episodes of Arakawa Under the Bridge, 4 episodes of Lucky Star.

Anime notes:
Trigun: Is awesome. I like the characters alot, and their voice actors
Lucky Star: <3 Konata.
Arakawa Under the Bridge: The voice actor for Maria (Sawashiro, Miyuki: Kanbaru from Bakemonogatari / Girls D.M lead singer from Angel Beats / Canaan from Canaan / Selty from DRRR / Shinku from Rozen Maiden) has a hot voice.

the adventures of gingerbread

Once upon a time there was a small edible man. His name was Gingerbread*.

Gingerbread had a few bits missing. His buttons had been forcibly dyed by his former lover (the rain) whom had coloured them brown to match his eyes. Or rather, eye.

Good luck Gingerbread! I hope the rain doesn't destroy you. Sometimes relationships can be destructive like that.

Had breakfast with Vincent in a little cafe near Flinders Street Station. This was delicious! Rich, golden egg yolk amazes me. Hollandaise sauce almost feels like overkill (surely not).

Attempted manicure in white/silver for MGS formal. UHHH. As you can see, i'm good at this.

Vincent and I at formal! No, I did not go with him, he went with his girlfriend.

Lastly...I finally opened my jewellery shop! It is currently being advertised on the sidebar. Please visit it, I'm hoping to add more items soon...

EXAMS ALMOST OVER - imminent relief? one can only hope! ^_____^

* Gingerbread was discovered one day in a bush on my street on my way to uni.

**You can probably tell i'm trying to make my posts more picture-dense. Sadly this has made me write strangely...

Getting carried away

So, i was on facebook and i saw this image.

I wondered who the author was, so i did a quick image search using Tineye (search images which are identical but cropped of your image).

The text which was formerly on her chest/むね was "nitro super sonic" so i googled that. This is what I posted as a comment. Note that I added the person whose photo it was so i could comment...

Was bored so i did some digging on this pic.
Using Tin Eye, got some matches.

Yea ...i get carried away doing stuff like this lol

parents

Recently, many people seem to be going through parent difficulties. This is nothing new, of course. But it seems as though the independence gained through graduating high school and entering uni may lead to further conflict between teenagers and their parents, who may feel as though they have no control, while of course teenagers are just like, "why should they control me anyway?!!!"

Parental control is something that teenagers rebel against, even while inwardly acknowledging that their parents only want the best for them and may, indeed, know better. However while contemplating the relationship between parents and children, i began to wonder whether respect for parents on the part of the child was implicit or had to be earned. Or, to go further, whether children still had an obligation to treat their parents with respect even if they themselves were not respected by their parents. 

Some time ago, my father said to me, "I am not looking for equality in this relationship."

As soon as he said this, I immediately felt rather disturbed, as though a wrong note had been sounded in a chord. For even if there is no equality in a parent-child relationship at the point when that child is only a teenager, would there not come a time when equality (equilbrium, lol) was achieved? If we consider "capability to look after" as the criteria for "superiority", it would then seem that after that point the "superiority" would shift towards the side of the child, who (then an adult) would then become increasingly "superior"? I guess this means that equality would not be achieved for a while. The point I am trying to make is that although some parents do not anticipate their loss of "superiority", they are unfortunately doomed to become such. Similarly, it is expected and even favourable that teenagers should strive towards greater independence, in light of their increasing "superiority" as opposed to their parents' "inferiority". 

Not that I am saying parents are inferior, or anything. Nor that teenagers should ignore the advice of their elders. Simply, that perhaps parents and children should try to think outside of the parent-children relationship, and view each other simply as people...on second thoughts this might lead to bad things.

What do you think? Is equality between children and parents ever achievable, or even desirable? And if so, is teenage rebellion justified?

My first bilingual post (sorry for butchering your language)

New song and my favorite voice actor

On Monday of this week I became a fan of "c.cedille" [a band]. C.cedille is not famous. C.cedille's singer is Emily. Emily's voice is good. I like her new song, it's name is "Hidamari".

My favorite music is anime music [not really]. Yuu Kobayashi is an anime voice actor. Ms Kobayashi's song's name is "Hanaji" [means nosebleed]. Hanaji is not serious at all. Ms Kobayashi's voice is strange, but interesting.

あたらしうたとわたしのすきなせいゆう

I deleted my facebook. I will make a new one under the name drojf wongsta. That is all.

OMG

(she woke me up DAILY! don't need no STARBUCKS.)



and i was like

BABY BABY BABY OH

like

BABY BABY BABY NO

i was like

BABY BABY BABY OH

thought you'd always be mine

not that you were. really. ever. oh (NO!)

YAY

I was stalking alice and dana and felt that i too should post about my life in a similar style, ie, using abbreviated/changed names and more detail than i usually give. Hence, the title of this post, which is an acronym for Yi-Ling Ate Yogurt. (This is a lie, unfortunately, however I did eat some nutella this morning.)

Anyway, my life lately has been fun. I had an enjoyable time when SA unexpectedly accompanied me to Wong's house and exclaimed over how castle-like it was. This was also slightly embarrassing in that I realised how much i treat wong's house as my own.

wong: "There's a motion sensor that makes the light turn on when someone is outside the house."
yi-ling: "There is someone outside our house!"
Thus perpetuating the common belief that wong and i are married, even though if we were married wong's house would still not be my house.

I also saw VC yesterday! I wish that he did not give so many details of his relationship with JC (?). Hmm. However, it was entertaining in some ways. I then ran into VC (other) and other PLCs, as it was JL's birthday. Happy birthday JL! More importantly, I regained my umbrella, which made me feel rather contented and secure. This was strange as i have already obtained the meaning of life, however any rain-repelling device is a bonus i suppose. Which reminds me, WC gave me her veryshiny silver jacket, which is also waterproof! Although many people seem to dislike it for its intense shininess, I am very grateful as it is both warm and rain-repelling. Thank you WC.

My mother has asked me what i am doing. I think she disapproves of my blogging even though i do not do it very often : ( What a shock. Unfortunately this means that i must stop now and revert to reading harry potter fanfic. Additionally, I feel that i am unable to keep up this style of blogging sadly enough. : ( Nevertheless...

please scroll down to read about Wong's sad story about cancelled classes! We seem to post in swells or something, it is unfortunate.

Friday

Today, I went to my chem lecture. It was, however, cancelled, and I did not know that it was cancelled because I skipped the lecture on Tuesday.

I then went to the airport lounge to kill time before my biology lab. I met Freddo and Dave before I even could go inside the campus centre. We went inside and talked for a while. Then I saw OJ.

I asked OJ, "Have you had your bio lab yet?".

He replied "There are no bio labs on this week".

And the disciples returned to their villages to spread the message of Jesus then I was sad.

Anime Stats

A comparison of anime I and other people have watched. A side note to the actual content of this article is that it took me a long time to write. This was because:

I wanted to use graphs. I remembered google had some cool thing for it. I didn't remeber I had to learn how to use their (easy to use) language.

It was very late. Or rather is very late. It is 4:21. After some more editing it is 4:39.

This doesn't really relate to the "this was because part", but the will to write this post came from my love of anime and making charts.

You know how it gets late at night; you start with one dot point and can't stop!

Yes, the dot points are invisible

Before anyone complains, these stats may not be accurate. Now you can't complain. Except yi-ling. You can complain, since I pushed your post and image of your hairy mishap down the page.





It appears that Howard has watched episodes which are shorter than Hungy, as Hungy manages to catch up on Howard a bit in terms of days watched.

BANGS EXPLODE

Hello. I feel the need to blog about a very distressing event in my life. This event took place approximately 30 mins ago, over a very short space of time.

But wait. If I think about it, it probably went back further than that...to the past few weeks.

"Gosh are you even able to see anything?" remarked one of my friends.
"I like the way it looks..." another told me.

"I feel stupid because one of my eyes is entirely hidden..." I thought.

And so, the fateful incident was set in motion. As I tooted away on my beloved rod (no sexual pun intended), I came to the conclusion that I would chop it off to a decent length, and expose my right eye to the light of the world once more.

and so, I rushed upstairs, eager to begin the process. I thought, "oh this won't take long!"

The first chop was rather satisfying. I peered at myself, thinking unwisely, "this is unsufficient i must cut more." And then... "oops!"

I was horrified by what i saw in the mirror:



WHAT IS THIS TRAVESTY OF FRINGES? Neither straight, nor even...too short to be attractive, yet indecisive in its length...and worse, it was two-toned due to my regrowth (visible even despite the slow-growingness of my hair)!

Additionally my (awful) eyebrows are now visible. WOE IS ME. (do you see my horrified expression)

Ahh. While there are those of you who feel I may be overreacting to this ("hair will grow back in a few weeks...don't worry yi-ling"), I do feel that my hair mishap is small compared to that of my brother, who in an attempt to cut his own hair has carved two lines into the side. He has informed me that he will tell people who ask him that "the hairdresser tripped". LOL

What is this?

ahem. please click this link.
