OH YEAH, THIS. OOPS. WELL, I GUESS THIS KIND OF...
“Post in case of having to procrastinate on final exams”.
Well, there are reasons.
I did some personal writing elsewhere.
I got about 3 KB of text in for a visual novel project.
I also went to Akihabara a lot.
With December 14th around the corner, I’ve got other writing to do as well.
Given that other places are more useful, I’ll “officially” shutter...

BEATMANIA, THE CLUB EVENT THING - 11/21/10 - 100
Sorry for forgetting a few. I’ve been doing other writing, and I’m easily distrac - SHINIES.
Anyway, hit up MOGRA, the club in Akihabara, for 20, November, another 6 hours of dancing action.
This one’s in the afternoon, so it was a bit less busy.
-I- was one of the most active people on the floor. What’s up with that?
The music was … alright. What’s weird,...

KANON TRADING CARDS - 11/15/10 - 1100
This week’s “$5 at Mandarake” purchase.
15 packs of trading cards, vintage from 1999. Original VN art, oh man.
I opened half the box, saving the rest for later. Things of note:
* I recieved a ‘winning card’ (Ayu, pictured). If I send it in, I get some promotional card, but only Nayuki or Ayu. Not worth it for a ten-year-old contest~
* Holographic Mishio card....

AKIHABARA (part N+11) - 11/14/10 - 64
Two of my friends want me to take them around Akihabara today.
They’re not particularly into anime or stuff; they have an appreciation for Ghibli works, but probably wouldn’t touch anything else.
So I’m guessing it’s just out of curiosity, that I’ve been turned into a tour guide.
But I keep thinking “Are you sure…!?”
I will probably accidentally...

I’ve sort of been a responsible person, and go to bed around this time since I get up at 6 AM for class.
I thought it was a more ‘Japanlike’ schedule, since many students have early class and have to commute long ways to class,
but then I get messages from my Japanese friends at 2 AM and I’m like

NOT ABOUT SHIBUYA - 11/11/10 - 59
It is Shi-big-ya.
The thing that amazes me the most still, is that I managed to buy a set of things that look sort of, but aren’t exactly like, mahjong tiles, that appear to be promotional tie-ins for a Hayate H-doujin.
Also the fact that it took me an hour to find Animate, even with a map. SO BIG

So of course I’m too cool to actually reblog it;
it’s like turn to page 73 of the nearest book by you and something something whatever
I don’t care about what paragraph or sentence it is,
because the nearest book by me is in Japanese.
Perfect Memento in Strict Sense. (hint: a Touhou book)

Well, the characters are beginning to get a bit overexaggerated in their actions, after two episodes.
This means that I can’t be a dirty shut-in who idealizes this building full of strange, overly-passionate people.
In exchange, I guess I’ll just have to enjoy the comedy and the situations that the show presents then.

VERY BIG T-SHIRTS - 11/6/10 - 56
Touhou Kinema Club part 2:
I got a T-shirt from the concert because T-SHIRTS ARE COOL YEAH.
Except they gave me an extra-large when I ordered a large.
My friend commented it looks like a dress.
She said all I need is leggings.
She refused my invitation to help me shop for lingerie and other clothes, though.

WHAT I DID LAST NIGHT INSTEAD OF STUDYING KANJI -...
read half of a very awesome book written by very awesome people with very awesome worldviews started using Anki, entered all my vocab into it, and then did nothing with it

WAYS TO BECOME BETTER AT RHYTHM GAMES - 11/3/10 -...
Write 6-page papers the night before they are due.
Then go play at 10 PM.
Or maybe it just worked because I looped a IIDX song the entire 3 hours I was writing.
However, I’ve achieved best essay-writing results when looping Ievan Polkka.

Watched in one sitting.
Having been away for so long, my head hurts.

I rather liked going to the onsen with 3 women.
Mainly because this meant that there was no one in my section at 7 in the morning, and so I could scream about how hot the water was to my heart’s content.

School field trips are awesome!
It’s a very Ghibli-esque place, out in a secluded, greenery-filled area. It definitely inspires some sort of childlike wonderment. Perhaps enhanced by the kids swarming this place. Makes you feel bad for the parents running to catch up.
The “studio” you can tour is obviously fake but is covered in assorted art, concepts, and text. If I knew...

One of my dormmates bought a Super Fanicom for $20, and lugged an old TV half an hour from the train station in order to get some gaming action.

Also some impossible-to-play mecha.
