I felt inspired, I had these in my computer for a while and finally decided to do something with them. I also recently found out that Jodelle-Ferland.net (thank you for the photos) had a link to Jodelle’s ‘official’ blog… which happens to be a wordpress blog. Major cool points for that, ‘coz she could’ve gotten one for Blogger, or *le gasp* LiveJournal? LOL’
Two 1680×1050 wallpapers after the break.
Well, not exactly a scanlation because I’m not thinking about scanning my book. But I was thinking of translatings… or trying to translate Travel Sand to practice my Japanese. Writing, and all… I’ve been transcribing the first chapter, which includes a Hollywood postcard, the letter, and then a bunch of captions on scattered photos.
Of course, with the help of Google Translate (and its funny translations), Rikaichan and the damn Kanji dictionary. This is helping me with my writing as well, because I can’t read all the kanji, so I write them with handwriting input… though sometimes I get it wrong, it’s quite effective.
I was wondering, if any of you… (I know you’re out there because that Travel Sand post has quite a few views) were interested in me posting that. Leave a message.
Bad, bad Amy… I think I’ve seen a couple few films… some re-watches too. Also, I seem to have an alergy today~ CAN’T stop sneezing!!! =o=”
Films (awarded and not…) after the break. For the best of 2008 (made in, or watched) check here.
LOL, Canadian Government, xD
Four months ago (maybe five) I had a ticket to see BackStreet Boys at GM Place in Vancouver, but Canada didn’t let me in even though my friend was getting married. So I missed her wedding, missed seeing my friends and I missed BSB. Damn you, Canada.
Anyhoo, later I find that BSB is coming here. Crappy end of the deal? “Mundo Pop” is not a BSB show. CRAPPY. Also in the show is Belanova, which is pretty bleh, and Adammo (??) Who the frak. Oh, yeah~ and tickets are pricey. And there are a LOT of sections. You know, normally should be 2 zones… General and VIP, but NO! We take zones to another whole new level~~~ First, we took it to Super VIP. Yeah, there’s a Super Zone, but that’s not it! Take this concert as an example… there’s General, Preferencial, VIP… Super VIP… Kandavu (the company organizing the concert), and then there’s BSB. Normally, I would’ve chucked the price of the ticket~ Like I did Bjork. xD
I was about to buy a BSB zone, but let’s face it… ++$100 for a ticket is not exactly MY thing. said the one who wouldn’t chuck $60 to see Dixie Chicks. LOL’ – I still buy cds, so I still give away my money. There should be a deal, right? Show receipt of a recent (name of the tour) album and get a discount. xD
Also, Belanova doesn’t seem to fit with BSB… just saying. But I’ve got an open mind, I will let both groups try to impress me. But yeah… I’m paying this just to spite Canadian Gov. LOL otherwise I wouldn’t have chucked that money xD
Over at Juri’s LJ Community, they posted the item~~~
You can watch the trailer on the official site.
As a happy gift! I made a wallpaper 1680×1050 with a scan of Juri on Kaze to Rock. Again, credit to Juri’s LJ Community… visit it for everything Juri.
Only 9 days left, no? How is your movie watching? I think I did a lot of movie watching over the holidays… only missing a few couples. Some predictions and comments after the break…
First post of the year!! How sad is this? 3am, and me is blogging. I’m actually sleepy… full of food and sleepy, so I think I did okay.
Yay! Those are fireworks at Amy’s family gathering. Sadly, it’s probably the last of the fireworks in here as they’re moving the gas tanks around. So… just like John Hammond in Jurassic Park, my uncle didn’t spare no expenses~~~ xD
Took a few shots of that with the tripod, which I almost never use… so I had fun crouching and being all uncomfortable with it to get some photos. I was also starving, coz we didn’t eat until 11pm or so which is uber late… considering we used to eat at 8pm on previous years. LOL’ But we had yummy food, and loads of leftovers which I will probably be eating during the course of lunch, dinner, lunch hahaha.
Anyway… if you wanna check out some of the photos -> lookie here.
Can’t believe it’s almost like >this< to the end of the year on this side of the world… and even less time on the other side of the world. Actually, by the time I wake up again, it will be 2009 on that side of the world most likely.
Oh, the memories… how time flies by. What have I done? I feel I’ve done so very little…
One oft he few things I feel I’ve done is YAM [help yourself to some leftover YAM] – and I would like to continue with that. As a special something, this is a little of what we talked on the issue.
Let the Right One In, the Swedish film… which is probably MY favorite film of the year. Though, I saw The Curious Case of Benjamin Button last night and WHOA. Blew me away… but that’s not on YAM. LOL – What’s on YAM? There are also reviews on Blindness, Slumdog Millionaire, and Twilight. Yes, Julyssa decided to review Twilight for us… how brave of her! xD – And yes, please? Go watch Slumdog Millionaire (or Benjamin Button) at least once, instead of watching Twilight for the 20th time… just like Lainey says.
I also reviewed music… Britney’s comeback Circus, Marit Larsen, Guns N’ Roses, Taylor Swift and DBSK. There are music, film and tv news… also a review on Season 3 of Dexter. PLUS! There’s more! Book reviews!! One of them features Yu!
Yeah! For Frak’s sake~~ I’m doing what others are ‘afraid’ to do. I’m mixing West and Asian entertainment. LOL’ Not ONLY the stuff that makes it here… but also the stuff that doesn’t, but should~~ So be sure to know that I’ll be reviewing music from all sides of the world, films from everywhere… and maybe even series~~
So please do! DO READ YAM! And link a post there so more people can read YAM.
Happy New 2009. Much success to everyone!
So it’s been almost a month since the last Film Discussion because I thought it’d be good to keep Hula Girls up while it was playing on TVs in Latin America. So expect more reviews more often this time around… unless they show other Yu Aoi films on cable, of course. And Happy New Year!!
So this Kame movie, or Turtles Swim Faster than Expected, comes after Hana & Alice according to various filmographies…
