Lucky Star OVA

For me, this OVA confirms what an excellent choice Katou Emiri was for the role of Kagamin. Her lovely chemistry with Hirano Aya's Konata doesn't count against her either. Ahaha~♥
WP 2.3 upgrade and Three Favourite Lucky Star scenes

Not being a tech person I tend to go yare yare, like Kagamin above, when WP announces yet another upgrade. But I was encouraged by how the Sea Slugs! WP 2.3 upgrade went relatively well; the final push came when I learnt from AnimeLife that the K2 RC1 didn't break (no customizations except for the header CSS, link colour and list of allowable HTML in comments) and that ELA has been modified to cope with the new thingamajig. Have updated most of my plugins too (spoilers are now enclosed with [spoiler]text[/spoiler]). Do let me know if anything is wonky.
In any case, while searching for a screencap to accompany this post, I thought a bit about my favourite Lucky Star scenes and they were, in ascending order, (3) when Kagami lures Konata to her house using Tsukasa's cookies (wait, that didn't sound right
), (2) Kagami's horror turning into being happy for Konata at the cosplay cafe and (1) when Kagami was Konata's Prince at the Haruhi Gekisou. I'm detecting a pattern here...

Bread factory? What was that all about? Misao gets a rare upper hand on Kagamin!

LOL at Tsukasa's ComiKet trauma. Not really as serious as Chiyo's Yukarimobile psychological scarring though. I think I spent about the same amount as Konata during my three days with the toll evenly divided between doujins, goods (plushies and tote bag) and t-shirts.

I really did see anime-themed canned drinks in Akiba's Animate and Tora no Ana but didn't manage to take a picture as they were too close to the watchful eyes of the counter staff. But as this was Japan, it wasn't in the humongous 1000ml format but a much smaller size, about a fifth?
Aside: I thought that a lack of internet access was cruel and unusual punishment but it's even crueler to have a ADSL connection that you know is working right in front of you but that the old BT Voyager 105 modem's driver isn't compatiable with Vista. orz And then having to spend 24 hours trying to figure out why the replacement BT Voyager 2110 can communicate with the laptop but not connect with the internet (turned out that my ISP requires the use of specific primary and secondary DNS addresses). Ironies of ironies was that most of this information about troubleshooting your connection was online and the technical helpline for home broadband was only available during office hours: Go figure - not that I could understand the fellow's Midlands accent anyway when I got through. Eventually managed to get all the necessary information by going down to campus and using my university's wireless network (the computer labs and library were closed on a summer holiday Sunday). Actually I could have moochd off a neighbour's open and unsecured wireless network but it's not always on and definitely didn't think it was appropriate to bt anime via his wifi.

That's because you're always too busy with your anime, manga and games and she misses you, Kona-chan.

Yukari (aka Miyuki's mom) is so goofy, MILFy and Desperate Housewife all at once. She obviously needs some Minami, like, now.
