Yeah. You read right. This is for everything that doesn't have anything to do with Eva.

Got a trim, and picked up a pair of high top converse chuck taylors. Had them for a day, and they already have stains. Guess that will just give them soul.

Don't worry bro, chucks ain't gotta stay pristine. You want a little dirt on them.

Got my macbook pro 13'' today. Lion is taking some getting used to but I love it overall. Just getting all my shit transferred and set back up.

New straight sword arrived last night.
SPOILER: Show

"classy as fuck" is the only way I can describe it. The 32" blade is much more rigid than I expected, but I can't complain about it (almost anything is better than modern competition-grade wushu steel) given how durable and maneuverable it is. The bloodline down the center is shaped in such a way as to make an awesome whoosh sound when it's swung, and that's pretty cool (if somewhat stupid, too). The handle construction is extremely solid and the design of the guard is both beautiful and practical. Grip changes and flower palms are ridiculously comfortable and easy to do with this baby. It's like I'm palming a woman's pert breast every time I play with the grip.

I have two minor complaints about it, however. At about 3" into the blade from the guard, its balance isn't quite as good as I'd predicted it would be. But that's still pretty good considering the weight of the sword and the grade of the blade. The other minor complaint I have is regarding the handle and sheath; although solidly constructed, they both feel like they're made of fiberglass or some sort of plastic or PVC. I really wish these could have been of a wood construction simply because wood absorbs moisture easier, which makes it is easier to grip.

It's a fantastic sword apart from those issues, though. I have another one coming in at some point, hopefully within the next month. The sword I've been using is pretty old and somewhat busted; we've now replaced the face plates on the guard and pommel with roofing copper and soldering the joints, but it's still comparatively ungainly with crummy balance (about 6" from the guard) and some rust issues that I still haven't totally fixed. I still like it a lot, though, since it's spring steel blade has made it a wonderful sword to train with. I've promised it to a friend of mine, at least until he gets around to buying his own. The one he's been using is a little short for him, and he's also tired of the wushu competition-grade blade. It can be a little difficult to locate straight swords with only a moderate flex to them, since most places now only want to sell the utterly flimsy things for flashiness rather than decently-weighted with a greater heft.

... I"m sorry, I"m sure the sword is awesome, but that carpet is way too distracting. Are you an eighty-year old Polish woman? ... Or do you live with one?
"Now, from Nature we obtain abundant information about ourselves, and precious little about others. About the woman you clasp in your arms, can you say with certainty that she does not feign pleasure? About the woman you mistreat, are you quite sure that from abuse she does not derive some obscure and lascivious satisfaction? Let us confine ourselves to simple evidence: through thoughtfulness, gentleness, concern for the feelings of others we saddle our own pleasure with restrictions, and make this sacrifice to obtain a doubtful result." -The Divine Marquis

^I didn't buy it; it was probably on sale. It's just a rug we have on top of old wood flooring in a room we rarely use.

At least it isn't wrinkled sheets. What more do you want? A round bed with rich satin blankets and red velvet cushions? I can't afford that.

It'd be more appropriate to dig up some good old Japanese & Chinese rivalries. I guess Bomby would be the only other dude on this forum I'd expect to recognize jian.

In case no one noticed the background of my photos changed a month ago when I moved to the bigger room. In my old room the only suitable spot to place the haul on was my bed, hence wrinkled sheets. Nowadays there's enough room on my desk and the lighting is decent enough.

you really should make the bed every morning though :P


in other words tomorrow is going to be TAIHEN day. It's my final chance in quite a while to post my Japan haul, so I guess it can't be helped and I must finally do it...

btw Tarnsman's dragon dildo where?
