Wii failure

I got a new pair of Adidas to go with my phat pants.

My Wii was upgraded to 4.3U, then it was bricked in the dawn of morning and there is a black screen, no Health and Safety warning is showing on screen.

I turned on the Wii and try to transfer the Wii saves to an SD card, but the warranty was expired last year.

After turning on the Wii, I get a black screen, Wiimotes not working, tried to fix the A/V cables, but no such luck!

I will now have to wait until  I acquire a black Wii. On the old one that I have did not have the Homebrew Channel, and the Wii is not modded anyway.

Old computer

I will be at my father’s next week since I took a photograph of his old XP computer a few days ago. After yesterday, I had to revoke the “Flickr Toys” from my Flickr and never use it again.

65 years of A-bombing in Hiroshima

65 years later, there was an a-bomb in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It was horrific, and that was from yesterday. Although I have updated my sketchblog’s design in a grid form and everyone seems to like it.

Updated sketchblog in a grid form.

And here is a desktop wallpaper (the final one) that you can enjoy. You can download it here. This zip file contains two versions: A standard version and widescreen.

Kaila wears Chucks

Has been a busy day and had to be away for a bit since life is calling me to action. Even if I would upgrade to Windows 7, there would be a hard drive failure since I read this post from 5 months ago. Before they arrive I took pictures of them filling them with big shoes while playing Wii Sports Resort with them.

Kaila wearing my Chuck Taylors, which it have never worn them in a long time.

My nieces playing MySims Agents

My nieces were playing MySims Agents on the Wii last week since I had a few server issues a few days ago. If you have been seeing this post about this Tokyo Hotel, maybe I should sleep there during the Tokyo trip.

New and Improved Sketchblog

I have redesigned my sketchblog, using Jacob Bijani’s Redux Tumblr theme, having over 2 million installs. Here are some features on this sketchblog:

This is my sketchblog's header, featuring chibi versions of me and the girls.

I'm not a mascot, but this is a self-portrait version of me (note the phat pants and a pair of red Adidas Superstars).

I met my father tonight after he come back from vacation and he is okay, except the window of his car is broken (yes, it’s still a experimental blog until it graduates to a Japan blog).

My father

My father will be away for 10 days since my previous post. A lot of failed attempts to go to Tokyo have been involved: A lot of video gaming were in the way, and too much time on the computer in the way. I know a way to break computer addiction (see below). I missed the 4th of July post a few days ago. I didn’t read the driver’s manual yesterday (I was told to read it all over again due to delay of tests).

Here’s his car. I really don’t want to be a late bloomer since a lot of gaming and laziness were in the way. Also, I will have to move to another IP address after I got the two complaints since I was told to move out. What I might do? Set up a PayPal account?

See you at the end of the FIFA World Cup.

Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania

I am taking a driving test after reading the driver’s manual/getting a job this summer because I have not been doing anything productive, this blog is still experimental until it graduates to a Japan blog.

Please note that my father will not be helping me and I will be away from the computer from July 10th to July 21st. Sorry. A lot of laziness and some stupidity were involved. The reason why I do not blog about the following — anime, anime figures, Japanese television drama, and gaming — it’s too much on this blog. I wouldn’t put any ads on this blog because it’s too much. This photo was taken in summer of 2007 with a Nikon L3.

I should be back in blogging just in time for new stuff.

Ontario, Canada, Summer 2008

A quick catchup here, it’s been a while since I have updated this. It’s really bad being a late bloomer because I had a lot of things to do. A lot. I got my first DS in Canada almost two years ago, then my brother took two of my Nintendo-licensed styluses for my DS because he needs them (the DS manual says only use a Nintendo-licensed stylus).

You know, being offline most of the time eases my mind. I will be very busy reading the driver’s manual. I have restarted reading a few weeks ago.

I have not been to Japan (I won’t go there next year because of resignation from drawing anything) for a long time, but hopefully this year I will look for a summer job after reading the driver’s manual/go to Japan this year. I don’t blog about anime, J-pop, or Japanese television dramas here, but I have (and draw) my own anime-style people and things there.

Lastly, not leastly, I haven’t been able to take pictures so I’m posting one of the photos that I took a long time ago. I took this photo in Ontario, Canada in summer 2008 with a Nikon L11, what a beautiful sunset, I have to say.

And, even more lastly, not leastly, I am without the internet for about a month. I don’t know if I’ll be back to normal (no, I’m not a web designer).

Thanks again, but I will be back after a 3-week break without a computer. My computer time is just about up.

Update June 30, 2009:

Since everyone has been talking about yesterday, USA has already been ousted from the FIFA World Cup. They fought hard and I was rooting for them.

Sketchblog Redesign for the Summer

I am away from the computer for a few weeks because I have to do something more productive than staying at the computer for too long. Before I take a few weeks off, I redesigned the sketchblog.

Hopefully I will save money for my Tokyo trip this year (I will be resigning from drawing at the end of the year).
