Walfas T-Shirts?


A few days ago, Sax showed me some images of a Walfas shirt he made (with permission, of course), and I sorta forgot to post about it until just now. Here’s a few more shots. Anyway, this reminded me of how a bunch of other people in the past said they’d like Walfas T-shirts (or Walfas merchandise of some sort). I know some people would definitely be interested in something like this, so I did some reading on T-shirt selling forums about different print-on-demand companies, and thought maybe if I do make Walfas shirts available, I might do it on Zazzle or something.

I signed up for an account, but the question is: what sort of designs would you like to see on Walfas shirts (daily flash, Touhou, whatever else)? There’s also other stuff like posters (I think perhaps the Cirno file folder could work as a poster; or maybe even a poster with all the create.swf characters on it, sorta like Pokemon posters… but not Pokemon), stickers, buttons, mousepads, postcards, etc. I have some ideas but I think it’d be good to see what everyone else thinks as well.

Zazzle also seems to be having a “10% off everything” sale that lasts until the end of Monday, so if I get some suggestions, I might be able to make some designs today (or dig up some pre-existing images) and people can take advantage of that sale. In any case, if I do make a shop, I’ll probably just put a link in the top navigation bar somewhere rather than putting things all over the place saying “BUY SHIRTS NOW” or something.

In other news, Scarlet Square is over, and apparently doujin shops Tora no Ana and D-Stage asked if they could put some file folders in their stores, which is pretty cool.

Anyway, today’s videos post will come later!

Walfas @ Scarlet Square


Walfas goods will be sold at the Scarlet Square (Aka no Hiroba) event in Japan later this month! The image above is a cropped version of the plastic file folder that will be sold at the event. I won’t actually be there selling things (nor will I even be in Japan), but Talka will. And here is what he has to say!

KirbyM?????????Talka???HN???????????????????????????????15????????????????KirbyM??????????????????????????ddiction.org??????????????????????????????????

Hello! I’m a friend of KirbyM, and I go by the nickname Talka recently. To get to the point quickly, I will be releasing goods created together with KirbyM at Scarlet Square on the 15th of this month. Details are posted on ddiction.org. I hope to see you at the event.

Well, this should be quite exciting — the first… uhh… selling of Walfas stuff at a convention in Japan! I’ll go add some stuff to the right side of the site later so that when this blog post falls off the front page, it won’t be forgotten!

Keine EWI + MoF Kamichu!

Keine EWI by Winn! This is relevant to 2009 because… year of the cow! And Keine is associated with cows. Yeah.

And here are Sanae, Suwako, and Kanako in a parody of the Kamichu! ED. Again, it’s another anime I’ve never watched, so I don’t really know anything about it.

Also, the blog post numbering has been fixed (or so it appears). Judging by the other things I’ve had to change since updating to WordPress 2.7, I’m assuming more problems will arise. Oh well, with every error, I get to learn how to fix it, so that’s a plus. Today I learned some stuff about SQL’s AUTO_INCREMENT… thing.

Also, today’s the last day of winter break, so tomorrow’s back-to-school day, I guess. Oh well, regents (high school standardized tests) begin on the 21st and end on February 2nd, and since I’m a senior, I’ve already taken all the regents I need to take, so that’s about another week of no school. That’s something to look forward to.

Site Update

In celebration of the new year, I decided to WordPress from 2.2.2 to 2.7 (until now, I haven’t updated it since I first started the site), along with an update to the site theme (which is now blue!). Hopefully, nothing went horribly wrong. There’s probably tons of new options I can play around with, so if anything on the site looks strange, that’s probably just me changing some things to see how they work.

Edit: Hmm, seems like… there are some problems with posting. Hold on.
Edit2: Okay, I guess it’s fixed now, hopefully. Also, apparently there are user avatars for comments now. I think they’re available for people who post with wordpress accounts.
Edit3: Actually, nevermind, while the above is true, it’s because wordpress uses this globally recognized avatar thing. Basically, when you comment on some blogs and use an email address, it matches up that email address with a picture that you upload to that site. I learned something new today!

Merry Christmas 2008!


(Nicovideo)

Merry Christmas, everybody! Christmas sort of just snuck up on me this year; I didn’t even realize how close it was until just a few days ago. For almost the past year, I’ve been thinking “Yeah, I should probably make another one of those Touhou flashes; I haven’t done one in a long time” but never actually got around to it (Still have part of an unfinished flash just sitting there, unopened since July).

So when I remembered Christmas was coming, I thought I might as well actually make one of these again. I spent all day yesterday and a short part of today rushing to put this together, and I’m sure it does feels rushed and not completely thought through. But then again, when I first started making these, I made like… one a day (Look back to the end of August and the beginning of September in the site archives), and none of them were really well thought through either.

Anyway, yeah… Christmas is here! Parsee dislikes Christmas and wants to put an end to it, much like How the Grinch stole Christmas.
