After collecting for 15 months I have finally grown tired of having them on and cut my bar bands. I have had many memories starting with the first one I got, Bennett’s birthday last year, and many many wild nights at the Bulldog.
They will be missed…
Sad face 4/4/08 - 7/11/09
Even Haruhi wants this to end.
Yea I love this show and everything, but this is getting unbearable, did they plan on having actually 8 episodes of the same thing?! Thank god there is an official schedule because I would just stop if this were to really keep going. I probably will take the time to read the novel just to see how the bearable version of this story goes. At first a thought it was a clever idea, but 4 episodes later of the same thing and its just too much.
Update: Found out that in true Haruhi fashion that even the novels are out of order, so where I thought I was just going to read straight through them I’m now jumping to the 5th novel after finishing the 3rd. Luckily I found this so now I can stay on top of it so I can’t be blindsided by another span of 4 episode repeats. Tomorrow I’ll start reading and find out how Endless Eight actually happened, or at least it won’t take me an hour and a half to get through.
Well since the first group has finally put out an English Sub, I jumped on it asap to see how the new season was looking. For the most part its still the same thing, which is awesome since it was great as is, but luckily it seems like its picking back up to the quality of the first season. Its still very random for the most part, but the episode feels more coherent then those in the later part of Zoku. There’s a couple really good scenes that I liked a lot, one involving the girls saving Itoshiki. One thing that I am ecstatic about is them bringing back the Sing a Long drawing song from episode 7 of Zoku, one of my favorite parts, so I hope that they are planning to keep it each week having new characters sing and draw. My only real complaint is that for the first time the OP and ED are quite weak and I think I might just skip them from now on, which is sad since they have had some of my favorite in the past. So can’t wait until the next episode gets subbed, these guys were pretty fast for such a translation intensive show, makes me want to start practicing Japanese again.
Great J-pop band if you haven’t heard them yet, they’ve done the themes for anime like, .hack//twilight, Welcome to the N.H.K., Gunbuster 2, ect. Finally though, after like 5-6 years of just singles, I have found cds. Didn’t know that they existed until last year and took this long to get them, but I’m super excited and it will probably be the only thing I listen to for a couple of days. More info
One of my favorite songs, has a very summertime feel to it.
It's similar to this
Well right now in the great country of Japan, half of the nation is celebrating the holiday of Tanabata. Simply put, people write wishes and hang them from bamboo where they will be shot into space to the stars Vega and Altair and hopefully granted (less ridiculous version).
So given that I recently got a new apartment I thought it would be nice to usher it in with something fun. I’m hoping that there is a nursery here in town that sells bamboo plants so I can buy one and have wishes granted. Although I will have to wait a month so I can catch the second go round that the other half goes by. Until then I will see if I can locate bamboo and keep it alive, also I don’t know what to wish for yet.
Update: So amazingly Lowe’s of all places had bamboo, so I got it and now to wait and hope I can keep it alive for a month. I think it brings some life to our empty apartment.
Just quickly posting my second shot at the project, didn’t get to turn it in (stupid computers hating my camera).
Anyway, I like it a lot might play around with the frame rate a bit to make it look a bit more fluid, but I love how the music fits in like this so I’m on the fence.
Song is Signatune (Thomas Bangalter Edit) – DJ Mehdi (one of my favs)
So yea I officially have the greatest father on the planet, as if that was in question before hand, but out of nowhere he went out and bought me a Nikon D60 and a 55mm-200mm zoom lens. So I hope to really get a jump start on my photography, I start my 3rd side job this Friday, taking pictures of local bands for http://www.redsticklive.com and I’m hoping that it works out well for me.
My first project using it was to create a “digital flipbook,” and I used pictures and a Shana Figma that I own to do a quick stop-motion animation. Overall you can tell that it was done in like 30 min, but it would look better if it wasn’t for the one skip in positioning, I thought it was a lot smoother when I was taking that shots, but whatever. I hope to get the chance to make a second short tonight, provided my friends are free and it doesn’t rain anymore. If it turns out decently I’ll post it.
Well, in my Digital Art 2050 my professor uses WordPress so I guess in all the free time I have at work I’ll take the time to randomly upload some of my work that I’m doing in the class and just be bored and post random things to kill time.
Also, I guess amazingly and unfortunately with the insane news that Justice will be at Voodoo this year, I will of course be going, but that means that I will have to miss out on Oni-con which I’m not all too excited about, but there’s always next year and Justice is not as much a sure shot.

Completed work for the second project of the course, I just used multiple shots from day and night times outings to Perkins Rowe and arranged them to where the lighting and what not matches up best then turned it into a polar panorama. I had been wanting to do a polar panorama for a long time so since we had a Photoshop project I took advantage of the situation and did one.
Well this is the first of my projects I’ll put up, if anymore I so quickly forget about this thing.
Apparently, I can blog from Microsoft Word and it will update it straight from the program, so I decided to test it out. It will be cool if it works because what I should be doing right now is working on my two papers I have due for English in about 5 hours, so at least I can say I accomplished something while I was not doing homework. I’m not too sure yet, but I might get back into this as seeing how it keeps me distracted from doing important things and its not WoW.
