[livejournal.com profile] meiousei T-minus 17 hours and counting!

Went to Akihabhara today. Missed Comiket by one day, but meh. The aftermath, so to speak, is better. Mandarake stocked most of the popular stuff anyway, and hey, less crowds!

Man. The more I read of Hetalia, the more it... squicks me. Like, deeply squicks me. I'm still trying to sort through my feelings as to why. Well actually I've already attempted to write a "my thoughts on Hetalia" entry, twice, but ended up not posting either version because I don't want to piss on anybody's kink-parade. Let's just say it's not my cuppa, and leave it at that.

I bought a new scanner, as my old one was a) well, old and b) permanently scratched. I bought my scanner at one of the bigger Softmap stores. It's funny because, at first this dudely salesman was trying to help me, and being all patronizing and stuff - like saying "Do you have Eeeeeeenglish Windows? Wiiiinnnndows Viiiiiiista?" using super-slow, super-loud English. Then I answered him in Japanese, "Vista, GOD no." Barfy-face. "I'm using XP. But yeah, English version." And THEN he started talking to me like I was a real customer. ;) I think it was because I made the barfy-face when I said Vista, not so much because I was speaking in Japanese.

I would be interested in your Thoughts on Hetalia. I... just couldn't get into it, myself. :/ Partially because I can't tell the difference between most of the characters. Which is disappointing, because it's an interesting idea, and the stuff I COULD get through seemed like a neat way to think of history.

Yeah, I... can't get into Hetalia either. I think most of it is just the rabid amounts of people who are squeeing over it, which ruins a lot of fandoms for me.

PWNED. :D

Although I'm thinking more of the fact you can speak perfect Japanese than the fact you hate Vista.

*whispers*I'm getting a new computer, but if it has Vista, I'm worried. That downgrading thing costs a lot...

Can't you just ask for your computer to come with XP? That should still be an option for most sellers.

Okay, thanks.

Wait just under one year. Windows 7 is coming out then.

I've been hearing that it's Vista without the BS or bloat.

Unfortunately, I don't think my laptop can wait one more year.

I have a few... issues, with Hetalia.

Kind of glad to hear I'm not the only one. xD
