MySpace and More
Oh man I feel so guilty now. After going onto LexisNexis to do research, I finished at about 3 and spent the next 3 hours setting up a MySpace account for the fun of it. So lame. And I don't think I'll even use it anymore. :S WASTE TIME OMG I DESERVE TO FAIL MY EXAMS AND ALL MY ESSAYS.
And here I am blogging because, what the heck, since I've already thrown so much time away, no harm in waiting for dinner right? :D
So while MySpacing, I searched for Dean Geyer's profile, since I was uber-bored. Came up with his music site, and his songs were not bad. Like "Rush" and "If You Don't Mean It". But I still prefer chinese and japanese songs.
Oh Oh. When I got home yesterday after dinner with futuresexygirl and basukiyaki, I realised belatedly while flipping through the 3 DVDs I bought that:
ALL OF THEM HAVE ICHIHARA HAYATO IN THEM!!!
I nearly died from bliss. I had thought only 2 had him in them. But the Mika Nakashima one had him inside also!!! Man. I'm swooning in from of my computer screen. I should have searched for his name on MySpace Japan. :'(
HAHAHAHA. I am SO SO looking forward to watching those 3 movies now. Psyched! I don't feel like blogging much today, so I'll just jot down the main highlights:
1) Watched PoTC: At World's End. Not too bad. Didn't expect the ending, but at least it wasn't cliche. The plot was too complicated for children to comprehend I think.
2) The vanilla brioche at Bread Top is really delish!
3) I wish my chinese was as good as futuresexygirl's. One of her posts almost made me wanna cry. :D
4) I wish I could just settle down and do my essay properly. But it's due on Thursday, and I have no sense of urgency whatsoever. Punish me someone!!!
5) Ate at Nando's on the night of the PoTC jaunt. Man, the chicken portions are so small. And no, it's not because I have a big appetite. Grrr.
6) I'm coming up with really fun plot ideas for my story, and I'm looking forward to fleshing it out and creating that alternate world with its many (hopefully unique) characters during my school holidays. My target: 10,000 words, maybe more. :) Sigh. I don't usually make it public, but everyone has an ultimate dream of dreams right? Mine is to get published. XD What I'd give for something like that! To make a living out of weaving enchanting stories with winning heroines and fast-paced plots with lots of derring-do and fantastical places and creatures. And I have so many movies and authors to thank for my ardent love of fantasy.
7) Whadayaknow. I've run out of things to say.
8) Oh, thank goodness I'm finally brushing up on my digital illustration skills. All hail Photoshop and my trial-and-error luck! Will put up my finished art soon! ;)
Yawn. Time for dinner and a bath. But brrr it's so damn damn cold. I just realised I've got so many thiings planned for my hols. O_O
1. Job Advancement for MapleSEA. Ganbatte!
2. Work on my yet-to-be-named story: 10,000 words.
3. Complete digital illustration.
4. Read all the books I've left unread, like the Dragon Temple Saga and especially that Faith Hunter series. (I am so so impatiently waiting for Book 3 of the Zodiac series. *throws tantrum*)
5. Finish reading any outstanding manga.
6. Watch all the movies that I've bought, including Death Note etc.
7. Watch at least some of the anime series I have, like Full Metal Alchemist, Saiunkoku, Shaman King, BLOOD+ and Ouran.
That may not sound like alot but I can easily spend hours on digital illustration alone, not to mention the inking and the layering. :'( I'll probably finish one book in one day, so that won't take too long, and I'll bet I can finish reading all my manga in a day. Not sure about being able to finish watching the longer anime series though. Will try to cram. As for my story, it'll take quite awhile to plan the plot outlines and characters' traits, and the timing of each characters' appearances and etc. Plus do research on miscellaneous details like boat structures, land formations, miscellaneous musical instruments, maybe even look up that myth about the youth elixir and strange weather phenomena? And theories on alternate realities, plus research on Egyptian myths and culture. Yeah. Oh, and I have to think more about my theory of shapeshifting. Surely it must be a painful process???
As for MapleSEA, LOL! To level takes 2 hours. You calculate the rest bah. I still have 10+ more levels to go to 2nd Job Adv.
WOW. So there. All my musings about my holidays to come.
Watashi zettai ganbatte! (broken Japanese)
...is what I said. Savvy?
