Sora No Woto ep 01 wallpaper

Sora no Woto is a new animation released in the Winter anime season of 2010.  It follows the adventures of Sorami Kanata, a young lass who joined the army to play her bugle, which she can, just not very well.  The characters bear close resemblance to K-ON!, a series from a few seasons back, that will get a second season in the near future.  Nevertheless!  The setting is different and the scenery is very pretty, most probably because my version was in 720p.  I am hoping that a military brass band will come out of this, but it might just end up only being a little bit trumpety, and not go all out on the brass instruments.

So, I selected a vaguely memorable moment from the episode and traced it into a wallpaper.  Here is Kanata, the main character, playing the trumpet very badly.

During the second half of December, I was mostly tutoring, but I did spend two days up in Guangdong province eating, eating on tour buses and sleeping, during the 25th and 26th.

Day 1 lunch

native wildlife spotted

non-native wildlife that lives in jars

photos of towers with stranger in the foreground

you can assume it was heavy. There was another set right next to it that no one could lift.

Day 1 dinner

The hotel wasn’t too bad, but there isn’t any National Geographic or BBC service in China.  There is in Macau though, so that was weird.  I don’t recall watching anything interesting on TV.

Day 2 Breakfast

Breakfast buffet was very lame.  We went straight back to our room after dinner and watched the Lakers/Cavaliers basketball game.  Then somehow, dead or alive (the movie) was on, and I watched my younger cousin oogle over all the bouncing and fighting.  Personally, I thought the advertisement channel with slimming product ads was far more explicit in their choice of  camera angles.

After breakfast, we went on our tour bus and headed straight to lunch. At a buffet.

And then we were tour-bussed back to Lo Wu, right at the border, where we had dinner.

Day 2 Dinner

Did I tell you how delicious the milk pudding was?

Anyway, happy Christmas and Merry New Year.  Back to school in a week.  Normal service will resume shortly.
