[ Saturday, 23rd January 2010; 07:04 ] 00:22 Greetings, Twitter. I don't have any good excuse for neglecting you for so long... # Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter meet the snake?)

SERIOUS BUSINESS [ Friday, 15th January 2010; 21:49 ] [ mood | anxious ] [ music | reddish - DIVA version--D'espairsRay ] Zero listens to Superchick. YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID. Yes, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superchick. Best proof out there that he really doesn't understand English Y/Y? ...I am, of course, operating under the assumption that no one who makes awesome music him or herself knowingly submits him or herself to girl-power Christian rock. I mean, ひとそれぞれ好みはいろいろ and all that good stuff, but Z氏はSuperchickが好きなんて、意外わ。 And now, I do believe it's high time someone stones me to death ElJay style for I have just shared with you fine folks FC only blog information. Le gasp, I know, how could I do such a thing?! </sarcasm> ...uh, long time no, post. It figures I'd break the dry spell with something that offers absolutely zero insight into what I've been up to since coming to Japan. Oh, well I'm absolutely terrified of the instore I'm going to tomorrow. Mostly because 握手会 are mad-awkward. And I've already made a fool of my ever-conspicuous self in front of 3/4 of the band. MY HAIR IS PINK AND MY PRIDE IS WOUNDED. OH WOE IS ME. I also apparently didn't get my copy of Immortal early enough to get a ticket for the talk before the accursed 握手会, so the part I wasn't dreading isn't even on the menu for me. Ah well. meet the snake?)

[ Thursday, 14th January 2010; 07:00 ] 05:12 At 2:30 am I discovered my copy of Powerpoint 2004 doesn't open anymore. Tried everything short of a reinstall. No luck. # 05:12 Can't reinstall because I left my Office for Mac disc in the states. # 05:12 Forcing myself to figure out Keynote for the first time to get this presentation done for tomorrow # 05:13 It's 5am. Moral of the story: don't procrastinate, kids! # 05:18 I feel like within a single week far too much computer-related has blown up on me. # Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter meet the snake?)

[ Wednesday, 13th January 2010; 07:01 ] 01:32 More annoying than failing a test because you didn't study? Failing because you studied the wrong this really hard. Yesterday=fail # 01:32 Well, my kanji test anyway. The rest of the day wasn't anything to write home about either, so to speak. # 01:37 Also just discovered reading the Japanese foreign policy book I bought is far more informative than my course on the subject. # 01:38 I really just need to look up somethings on UN diplomacy, but I'm a bit tempted to keep reading...even though it's 1:40 am. ^^; # Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter meet the snake?)

[ Saturday, 9th January 2010; 07:01 ] 22:47 Near constant headbanging for 3 hours with a runny nose is kind of nasty. Totally metal, but pretty disgusting. # 22:48 ...I suppose the alternative would have been NOT headbanging for 3 hrs, but it was a Dir en grey concert--headbanging is basically a reflex. # 23:14 Also, I'd like to thank Dir en grey for being the only band I've seen to make a XS size tour shirt. # 23:14 Us scrawny people like overpriced band shirts too, you know. XD Especially when they don't fit like tents. # 23:16 Although standing in line for 2.5 hours to buy said shirt? RIDICULOUS! # 23:17 I now know why they started selling tour goods at 3pm when doors were at 6pm. # 23:18 Lines for Space Mountain at Disneyland on a Saturday pale in comparison to Dir en grey merch lines. # Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter meet the snake?)

[ Friday, 8th January 2010; 07:03 ] 03:30 One of my posters chose now to fall of the wall on my head...awesome. Scared the crap out of me and it was just paper. XD # 07:02 Oh hey, the sun's up! I haven't slept at all. Class in two hours...until 6 pm. There's no way I'm going to make it that long. # Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter meet the snake?)

[ Thursday, 7th January 2010; 07:01 ] 01:46 I just walked head-long into the bathroom door. I have no one to blame for leaving it open but myself. # 01:47 Additionally but not necessarily related, I changed my picture. Keeping with the times and all that good stuff. # 10:20 I think my poor old iPod video finally gave up the ghost. # 16:39 The only reason I'm typing this paper on campus is Waseda's VPN hates me & thus the Internet can't distract me. # 16:58 Wonder how much of this paper I can write before my battery kicks the bucket? # 17:47 ...and I forgot that my MBP battery likes to die at 58%. 2nd bum battery I've had, but at least it doesn't die at 85% like the old one # 17:56 I'm only at 109 charge cycles so my battery really shouldn't be performing so poorly (supposed to retain 80% capacity at 300 cycles) # 18:02 Why is today so full of technology!fail? # 22:15 Trying to restore my poor old iPod one last time before I give up on it for the time being. :( # 22:32 Well, that seems to have at least got the stupid old thing doing something, but it'll probably be syncing all night # 23:59 If my laptop gives me anymore sass today, I'm drop-kicking it. # 23:59 ...well, probably not actually drop-kicking it...certainly mentally # Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter (2 forbidden fruits | meet the snake?)

[ Wednesday, 6th January 2010; 07:02 ] 02:20 People weren't messin' w/ me: you can find me in the audience on the D'espairsRay 10th Anniversary live DVD... # 02:20 ...however, most of the time you have to know where to look (4th-ish row in front of Zero). # 02:21 I'm only super obvious in the shot of the audience clapping before tainted world. With my hair, it's impossible to hide. XD # 18:57 I really do love some of Deluhi's music, but a few of their songs make me feel like I'm listening to Avenged Sevenfold...in Japanese. # 18:58 Also, first day back in class was rough...mainly because I thought I started at 12pm rather than 1pm. Going to uni an hr early=fail # 20:49 People accuse me of having every variety of social networking account around...however, let it be known that I don't have a Tumblr. # Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter meet the snake?)

[ Tuesday, 5th January 2010; 07:02 ] 00:24 Just got back from the Jasmine You memorial Versailles live. Probably the most epic yet sad concert I've ever been to. # 00:25 I really want to see Matenrou Opera live again...and maybe Kaya--can't ever have too much of his fabulousness. XD # 03:35 Ok, if I go to bed now, it'll be 1/2 hr earlier than I did last night. Progress toward returning to a "normal" sleep schedule. # 12:54 Let it be known that I managed to get up before noon today...barely. Hey, 11:35 is still before noon. # 14:04 I got up before noon specifically to talk with someone on Skype. Seems that person has stood me up. Fighting the urge to nap. # 14:08 Trying to write a paper with zero instructions or guidance is painful. No wonder I've put it off for two weeks. # 14:26 I wonder if I can really write 7 pgs on Higashi Mineo's "Child of Okinawa"? It isn't a terribly long story. # 16:38 ついにディスパのDVDが届いた‼ yfrog.com/4gbg6lj # 20:03 Oh, and irony abounds: my DVD wound up being sent via Japan Post after all. I probably could have gone to the post office to get it. # 23:49 just learned a metric shitton of new kanji/vocab from reading the instructions for a box of Japanese hair dye. # 23:50 Apparently vanity can help one attain knowledge. # Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter meet the snake?)

[ Monday, 4th January 2010; 07:02 ] 00:09 Why does my future seem to hold nothing but the possibility of grueling tests? JLPT, GRE, Foreign Service test... # 00:09 ...and I don't even know what I want to do with my life. Besides get into some sort of useful graduate program. # 00:10 Yeah, I'm being a buzzkill, but my mother brought up how I need to figure out what to do with my life once again. # 03:39 I wonder if it's possible for a cold to turn a person nocturnal...b/c this one has rendered me only motivated at night. More so that usual. # 04:16 Ok, cold, I don't care if you want me to stay up and work, it's 4:15 AM and you're not the boss of me. XD # 04:16 Commence sleep sequence. # 13:50 I wish people would learn that when I unfriend them on FB, it generally means I don't want to be--oh I don't know--friends. # 13:59 Because I'm sorry folks, but the Twilight vampires aren't badass at all. They sparkle... # 14:00 ...I sparkled too in 2000 when glitter lotion was all the rage and I was the polar opposite of badass. # Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter meet the snake?)

[ Sunday, 3rd January 2010; 07:01 ] 16:02 I feel like really hunkering down and studying Japanese...now that I have to write a paper in English. Irony. # Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter meet the snake?)

[ Saturday, 2nd January 2010; 07:01 ] 03:11 Ok, I know I haven't been active in the fan community on LJ in ages, but why so much hate for the "Redeemer" album? Makes no sense to me. # 03:12 These age-long breaks from attempting to blog (in English) don't tend to make me want to start again. # 03:59 Despite my constant precaution-taking, I've got a nasty cold AGAIN. Germs, one day I will manage to outwit you! Mark my words! # 17:10 As luck would have it, I got on a train with jammed doors. Took them 15 min to get them open. Stuck in 東新宿 atm. # 19:45 Ok, so I was only stuck in 東新宿 for the 15 minutes it took for the totally backed up Fukutoshin to send another train. # 19:45 Still, irony prevails considering I didn't get on the Yamanote because of "human-accident" induced delays. # Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter meet the snake?)

[ Thursday, 31st December 2009; 07:04 ] 01:57 The verdict seems to be that Zero recognizes me from the FC trip. # 01:57 Whatever the case, he decided to crouch down in front of me and unleash a mouthful of water in my face... # 01:58 ...not sure how to react to that. I do hope he isn't as sick as he was on the trip. D: # 04:49 Why am I still awake? # Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter meet the snake?)

[ Wednesday, 30th December 2009; 07:02 ] 02:12 So Neowing actually shipped my DVD JP Express Pelican. Going to the post office is going to do me no good. # 23:03 Home from the D'espa live. What little voice I had to begin with is now completely wrecked. # 23:04 My #A9 FC ticket got me in the 1st row between Hizumi and Zero. <3 Never in a million years did I expect to be there. # Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter meet the snake?)

[ Tuesday, 29th December 2009; 07:04 ] 01:11 Perhaps chopping off all my hair just in time for legit Tokyo winter was a poor idea--my head's noticeably colder now. # 02:05 It has now become incredibly obvious that I missed a spot redying my roots tweetphoto.com/7449785 # 20:55 I really hate when there's too much bg noise to make sense of the messages on my 留守番電話. # 20:56 ...esp. when it has to do with the delivery of my D'espa DVD. Bah, why did I order that online anyway?! # 21:06 The front desk for my building is closed until the 4th--my mail box is in there. I wonder what Japan Post is going to do about that? # 21:07 ...as in, do they just keep trying to deliver a package or do I need to go to the post office to pick it up? # Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter meet the snake?)

[ Sunday, 27th December 2009; 07:00 ] 02:26 I know if you show up @ comiket at 10am you wait over an hr to get in, but what about noon? I hear entrance lines calm down in the afternoon # 02:29 The dilemma: I have cut-the-line passes for the sixh concert @ comiket @ 12:30. There was something else I needed to do @ 11am. # 02:31 ...that something else is more of a "would be disappointed if didn't do" than "absolutely need to do" # 13:46 Not having to call the US pays off: my Softbank bill is down to $64 this month. My AT&T bills were never that low # 13:46 I consider that pretty good since I don't have outgoing landline service # Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter (1 forbidden fruit | meet the snake?)

[ Friday, 25th December 2009; 07:02 ] 21:13 What's the difference between Tiger Woods and Santa? Santa knows to stop at three hoes. # 21:13 Merry Christmas from Tokyo! It's over in 3 hour for me. # Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter meet the snake?)

[ Thursday, 24th December 2009; 07:03 ] 02:12 I didn't know the lightsaber chopsticks were available in the US! Hope my dad doesn't know that...or at least enjoys the Japanese packaging # Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter meet the snake?)

[ Tuesday, 22nd December 2009; 07:04 ] 00:35 I'm really bad a interpreting graphs in Japanese, so tomorrow's 20 min presentation is going to be a treat I'm sure # 00:36 I'm also really bad a presenting...in most languages. # 16:46 Man, it's only 4:45 pm and I'm already ready to crawl into bed and hibernate. # Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter meet the snake?)

[ Monday, 21st December 2009; 07:02 ] 00:51 My radio/CD player is such a cheap piece of shit that I have to ground the antenna on something (or me) to hear over the static. Fail. # 02:33 Listening to the Return of Maniac Station makes staying up learning mostly obscure kanji much more bearable # Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter meet the snake?)
