Good morning cyberspacers and welcome to the first blog of hopefully several that will be appearing "today"( The majority of the posts I will be backdating to the places that they actually belong); Due to reasons that I prefer to believe are beyond my control, though when I really think about it I do know that nothing about it is really beyond my control besides events that really make my head not want to handle the stress I put on myself.
ANYWAY!
Today's assignment was to pick one of our classmates blogs and read all the way through, and no I did not choose the blog that is labeled as my "pseudo-brother's" although he is one of my classmates as well. Being the person that I am I somehow inadvertently ended up choosing one of the longest blogs in our class. After spending the majority of the class-time today reading it, I am writing this from home(le shock!).
Her blog ( I know I'm not supposed to give any clues to whose blog it is, but at least this isn't anything big enough to give it away) was actually pretty entertaining for me to read. Her style feels almost like instead of being something you're reading, she's actually talking to you, I heavily enjoy this when I am reading something that is supposed to be almost periodical like I feel a blog is. Her posts are frequent, but not change topic often almost as if she knows that if she keeps on one idea for too many posts the readers will tire of it and decide to be reading something else. In a few days I will be adding a link to her blog into my sidebar, so lookout for the link sometime early next week.
Give your brain a break tonight cyberspacers, no questions today.

Oh wow... I'm a big dork
I have an actual assignment for this class today cyberspace.
Okay so, as I said earlier in my blog I am partially writing this blog for a class. In a new assignment we have had to find five regularly updated blogs that we think we like and would read on a regular basis. In finding these blogs I has basically come to the conclusion that my god am I a gigantic dork. After reading what blogs I've chosen you'll completely understand why I say this.
If you have looked at the links in my side menu previous to this post ((After this post I will be linking all the blogs I have decided to mention in this entry there as well)) you would have seen a link for one of my favorite webcomics by the title of Thorn. After doing some wandering throughout the site I was able to find that the author keeps a blog as well. My Blue Sky as the blog is titled essentially is a jumble of drawings that aren't part of the webcomic that she has created. The woman used to work with pixar and disney and she writes a webcomic about a little girl taking over the world, how could it not be entertaining.
I also craft. It isn't a matter of knitting, or crocheting, or sewing, I just flat out craft, it's what I do. So it's relatively a given that somewhere within this jumble I would have a crafting blog in some shape or form. Chic Knits on that front is pretty damn great. Free Yarn on fridays and usually beautifully created items otherwise is pretty nice.
With this I thought I had actually redeemed myself from the blackhole that is my world due to the fact that culture is an amazingly interesting thing no matter the location on the globe. However, after thinking about it a little bit more, I have come to terms with the fact that this is yet another blog about what is happening in Japan. On a side note however, this blog is more so about awesome technology advancements, like the post about now being able to play guitar hero on your cellphone, and really interesting things that are coming out with their culture than the other little niche things that the majority of the other blogs I'm reading focus on.
Hello Kitty Hell is one of the most amazing yet truly disturbing websites I have ever run across. Written by a married man the blog talks about all the disturbing thing he runs into while his wife runs a profitable business, that he encouraged based solely on the sale of Hello Kitty merchandise.Growing up with as much Hello Kitty as I have, and still owning the majority of the items I have had since then, and being a teenager I love to see the sick and twisted things that the icons of my childhood have created.
Here is when I truly realized what a big dork I actually am. Now to actually get to the blog section of her website you need to go over to the pretty little menu bar on the left and click blog. I've own the singular book, that is actually a manga about her adventures on her first trip to Japan, that this woman has written and read her articles in Haute Doll in every issue so to me she's pretty cool. Although the blog is mainly photographs of her cosplay and the phenomena of BJDs with very short captions it's pretty cool to know a little bit more about what happens in her life on a day to day basis.
This brings me back to the assignment I have for this week. I have to pick one topic and each day write a little bit more concerning that idea. This week, my lovely cyberspace readers, if you don't know about them already will be learning about BJDs, also known as Asian Ball-Jointed Dolls, and even once in a while, "those creepy dolls from Japan."
