It’s late, I know, but it had to come some time. Right? Right?

Well, since I haven’t posted anything since December 12, 2009, I think I owe you all a “merry christmas” as well as a “happy new year,” and so I you such now. Wow, it’s the 6th of 2010 already, can you believe it? I still haven’t made any resolutions for the new year! Hmm, let me think about that as I carry on with the post.

OK, first things first: what awesome stuff did I get? Well, I got…

Ruki’s Journals #2: No internet makes Ruki a dull boy

Va bene–I mean, “all right” – god, I’ve been playing too much Assassin’s Creed II – let’s begin!

I have been without a computer for over a month (if you wondered, I’ve been tweeting from my iPhone) and I just fetched my old laptop (which runs Vista… *sob*) from my mom’s place to my dad’s place where I am now a few days ago which I’ve used to catch up to the twelve shows I hadn’t watched since Fairy Tail the last Monday of October. October! Anyway, I think now is the time to finally start blogging again. I can’t tell you how much I’ve missed you all and just how right it feels to be writing again. Granted, the WordPress dashboard is a little bit dull…

Ruki’s Journals #1: November 5, 2009

November 6, 2009

I’m back, my new and old, stalking friends. Me and my friend went through the could-have-been-snow (but was not) rain from the Japanese book store Sun Ai to the games and computer machinery store thingy Webhallen (lit. The Web Hall) to SF Bokhandeln (lit. The SF Bookstore, where the “SF” stand for “science fiction,” although the store has got lots of manga as well – which is the only reason I ever ventured there in the first place) before we took the very crowded bus home, talking about hentai… Don’t ask. (It’s not as weird as it sounds, honestly!)

So, first we went to the Japanese book store, or so they call themselves, Sun Ai where my friend got two packs (tss, that’s weak) of strawberry Pocky and two very perverted poster magazines. Yeah… I, however, got ten – count them, ten – packs of strawberry Pocky, a pack of… milk Pocky (for a Japanese candy review I’m making), some other candies (one other variety Pocky) and the first issue of よつばと! (known as Yotsuba&! outside Japan)…

Welcome to Rukinet.

November 5, 2009

That’s Rukinet., with the dot. Awesome, right? :D

I’m Rukishou (always has been, always will be) and I am hereby welcoming you to Rukinet., the place where you want to be! And currently are, am I right? To be honest, I’m not very good at these things (introductory things, discussions without an actual topic) and I’m heading into town with a friend soon (we’re going to get lots and lots of strawberry Pocky!) so I will try to keep it short…
