seeing as to how I won’t finish the revamp (and the actual layout of the other site) any time soon, I guess I’ll just let you guys see it and play around with it or something. only a few pages are done and lots of links are broken :) but feel free to leave crits/suggestions! made for big resolutions, but 1024×768 can view it fine too. 800×600 not xD LOTS OF HATE TOWARDS YOU. the resolution, not the users.
1. One of the doujins I got on my RO artbook that I translated. (beware! you have to play the game to get the jokes)
2. 4 pages from chapter 113 of bleach. yoruichi is the coolest char ever! I’ll read bleach just because of her. (warning: nudity)

Finally I’m back! Well actually I was back since Monday, but I was having a lot of jet lag problems (which I didn’t have when I went to China, odd) so I didn’t have the motivation to pick out and edit the photos I took. I am finally kind of normal today in terms of sleeping schedule, so I actually had time. hopefully I’ll change my bio clock back in time for anime north.
The trip was ok; didn’t have too much fun but didn’t bore either. We managed to get to a lot of places despite sudden circumstances that prevented a normal trip. The (restaurant) food there was sooooooo gooooood :D** and stuff is so cheap. Well kinda. I bought a lot of random goodies that my dad would have doubted meaningfulness about. And I went to the salon many many times because they wash my hair very thoroughly, and massages it :D my cousin took me to do aromatherapy too but the guy couldn’t clip up my hair cus I have too much and they are too heavy. All in all, I got to be a visitor of my hometown instead of a resident, and it certainly made the city better. We spent so much money though; especially my mom. She doesn’t really think when she spends money. She used to have good spending morals, but lately she’s becoming an egohead… and after explaining and justifying her actions, she’s becoming a little too over her head. But at least I am benefitting from this, so that’s cool. We had to transfer twice on the plane because of the tickets we bought, and Northwest is NOT a good company so I got motion sickness on the first and last flights on both trips. It was horrible. And the flights were full so we couldn’t claime seats (unlike when we immigrated to canada; that time we each got like 2-3 seats cus no one was there.) But on the plane we sat next to a deaf man; he was really cool :D we “talked” and stuff. And we met a cute lil chinese girl that we thought were japanese too (since our flights pass through japan) until we found out that she lives really close to us.
I also drew (kind of) a lot of sketches and stuff, but most of them can’t be shown cus it’s so unrefined >> I rely on the computer too much to be able to sketch better. Although here’s a part of one of them with the background cut out because it was out of place :l
And here are the pictures (including some 2-3 pictures taken in London a few days before I moved out)! ya they aren’t really great, I’m not a good photographer :l and I also don’t have an affinity to taking pictures of people x) (including myself, though there is a picture of me eating udon at the Tokyo airport)
Oh and I bought artbooks too! (thanks to my cousin’s and Jenny’s advices of looking out at newspaper stands and in a comic city) Finally after so many years, I own artbooks. I didn’t get to pick though; I just bought whatever that’s there cus it was so rare. Victory!::
As far as I know, nobody know who did or didn’t win this year’s anime north mascot contest. They didn’t email anyone or post anything, and the convention’s next week. But I think roboto-kun won the contest. (cus the winner gets a free artist table; he said that he didn’t sign up on time for a table a while back and suddenly said that he got a table a couple of days ago) At least he actually deserved it cus his art rules. (last year’s winner did not) Meanwhile, I think I’ll go on saturday with Jenny :D
