A further testament to my lack of a life this week. Not only did I transcribe, romanize, and translate one song, but two. Go figure.

So, like I said before, it's exam week at my junior high, which means I'm stuck at the desk doing nothing. Which means I have lots of free time.

Which is why I actually considered doing some translation again. It's all kakkobean's fault for posting the America song!

Anyway, here is a testament to my lack of life this week, lol.

Wanted to let you guys know that I arrived safely in Japan. I'm currently chillin' at Keioh Hotel in Shinjuku, waiting to go to dinner.

I have full days ahead of me at the Tokyo Orientation. Wish me luck that everything goes smoothly.

I'm at the LAX International Lounge, waiting for my flight to Narita. Don't know when I'll have internet access next, just as a heads up.

Also, I find it amusing that my fellow JETs are so happy about free booze, lol.

Hope I have a smooth flight and that orientation isn't too demanding.

For those of you who have my phone number, I wanted to tell you guys NOT to call or text me after today, July 24th, because I am shutting off my phone tomorrow before I leave for Japan. If you need to get in touch with me, you can email me, Facebook me, or Livejournal me.

I will let you guys know when I get there and get some kind of phone number.

Also, please wish me luck in packing. Oh god, please.

Off to orientation and a reception for JET I go.

So my friend Whitney (a_farrier) submitted her first design to Threadless. If you could please take the time to look at it and vote on it, it would be much appreciated. It'd be really awesome if it managed to actually be made into a shirt.

Threadless Design - Green Revolution

In NY. Do not have stable internet access, so I may be gone to the world for a while. ;-;

Anyway...

Happy birthday, Stephanie (kircheis)! Hope you have a great birthday in Italy. :D

Hahahaha. Fabulous. (Those are post-it notes that she's holding. OF HERSELF.)

Help!

So as some of you may know, I am currently looking for a new laptop to purchase before going to Japan. I wanted some help from everyone in this process. If you could give me your input about the following, it would be great:

1. What laptop do you use? What do you use it for? How is it?
2. What brands and models do you recommend? Why?
3. What brands and models would you recommend staying away from? Why?
4. Have you ever had to deal with customer service/tech support of any company? What was it like (good, bad, average)?

Right now, I'm looking at higher end Dells (XPS), Toshiba, or Lenovo. But any input on any and all computer companies would be appreciated. <3 No, seriously. I'm having a really hard time deciding, and I need to decide very soon.

Anime Expo schedule is up.

I have to say... why are a lot of things I'm interested in on Thursday? Seriously. Kouga Yun panel at 11AM, Hetalia gathering at 4PM, Masquerade Ball from 6 to 9PM, and Gurren Lagann movie from 7:30PM.

I'm especially annoyed that Masquerade Ball is on the FIRST DAY. Wtf?

There's also a Comic Book All-Stars gathering at 3PM. I would go, if it weren't the fact that it seems that I'm already going to be carrying around 3 outfits that day.

I'm considering not going to the main events this year. I dunno. There's a VOCALOID panel during Masq, and it's run by someone I kinda know. So I kinda want to go to that. But we'll see.

• 13:08 Got a new swim suit. :D Also: lol, have not used Twitter in a year. #

FFFFFFFF

*cries.*

I should totally be studying, lol.

What Fictional Character Do You Associate Me With?

Am going to Las Vegas today~. Will be back on Tuesday night.

I'm so psyched because I will actually get to drink for once. Last time, I was kind of sick, so I wasn't allowed to drink. But now I can again! Woohoo. :D

Feel free to text/call me if you need to get a hold of me. Also, if anyone's free for the rest of spring break, we should make some sort of plans after I get back. Or something.

Anyways. That's all for now.

Am mostly done with my JAPN 481 midterm. I just have to revise it tomorrow.

And because I was amused and want to jump on the bandwagon...

( Wedding Meme. )

35. Sounds about right, if I get married at all.

FUCK YEAH HANASAKERU SEISHOUNEN ANIME!

Oh god, they better not fuck this up because if they do, I will rage so hard. Really, this mangaka's work should get way more recognition in the States then it does right now. She manages to write action without making it really shounen or really shoujo. Although this is actually one of her few pieces that's more drama than anything.

I love this series; I really do. I especially love it because the most attractive character (in terms of personality and looks, in my opinion) is the girl. She is the strongest character and is one of my favorite female characters ever.

:D :D :D :D

May 28th! ... That's the release date in Japan, anyway.

I have just discovered that there are people out there in the United States who genuinely don't get why "Jap" is an offensive and racist way to refer to Japanese people.

No, seriously. There are people who say it's "just shorthand". Or that it has the same connotation as "Yank" or "Brit".

*goes and cries about the ignorance in the corner.*

Whyyyyyyy.

I forgot that I hadn't put this up yet, so here's my schedule for Spring 2009:
