Hello 2010

[rkold]

I do not think I am meant for weird KitKats. I've now tried Ginger Ale and Ramune and I wish I hadn't! I'm not sure which one I find more foul, but I think it's probably Ramune. I can't imagine eating this for fun. I love Japan but some flavors would be better not made. Though I will say the baked sweet potato ice cream I had in Kamakura is still one of the best things I've ever eaten ;;_;;

2009 was an eventful year for me, it included:

The husband's grandmother dying
The husband's sister getting married
Going to Japan 5 times
Discovering onsen and regretting not discovering them earlier
Finally getting in some prime hanami time
Successfully growing over 30 pounds of vegetables in my garden
Deciding to sell my house
Becoming a doujinshika
Becoming addicted to BPAL
Discovered I own a food processor
was saddened when NY Dolpa was cancelled
Went on a Volks Cruise
Went to Cedar Point ♥


For 2010 I'd like to:
Go to Japan
Grow more vegetables
Start my dwarf orchard
Be more creative in my cooking
Make dough once a week
Sell more doujinshi!
Go to a Trunk Show for BPAL
Attend my brother's wedding!
Visit more onsen
Enjoy more hanami

So the house is coming along but I need to work on my next doujinshi for February and plan my next trip. Ideas I am playing with include: going to Ammonoshidate to get my final view (but will it be horrifically cold?!?) Going to Takayama (supposedly very atmospheric in the snow!), Going to Okinawa (hello, semi-tropical vacation!), Bessho onsen (so I can see the secret onsen of the Sanadas), Kutatsu Onsen ♥ seeing more of Kyushu, It's going to be mid-to late February so my concern is snow and cold. It's one thing to walk around in deep snow to an onsen and sit in hot water, it's another thing to go somewhere involving sightseeing. Also if I go to Okinawa do I need to rent a car? I have a valid license for renting but the driving thing makes me anxious.

K-books changed their site so it is going to take a bit for me to figure out the Japanese, and then I will place my order, yeah to doujinshi, mostly involving samurai warlords >>;

Anyway I would love one largish thing from Osaka Comic City cause one of my favorite circles has a special release bag and awesome new books I do not own yet.

their info (http://mozz.oops.jp/2010.html)

It looks like they are space ふ40B and I want the 2200 yen bag cause I don't have any of the things in it. ♥ I love their art and their stories are amusing. And if the bag is sold out I want Bad Romance and Sweet Vacance the most.

If I can't get K-Books to work I might have a few additions but I would like it to work. Oh and if somehow PlayPlant shows up despite not listing information I would be overjoyed for their new book from 12/28 aka Comiket. I don't want their Hetalia book, I don't do Hetalia, just the Basara one. Mozuya and Play Plant are two of my favorite circles ♥ Other than some of my Geass circles but I plan to buy from them all in February.

Okay, I'll try to get it for you. I don't see anyone with a name like PlayPlant listed in the guidebook.

OK the K-books order was placed and my credit card said the order was authorized so it should at some point go out. Just let me know if you can't pick up the Mozuya as otherwise I might try K-books for that as well >>;; I still love my Geass circles but Geass is sort of on its way out so I should be able to get everything I want in Feb. and I always prefer to support circles in person. ^^; As far as I can tell there won't be a more general event while in Japan. I only just realized PlayPlant did my awesomely wrong butler fusion book.

PlayPlant would be in English so...

I am still sad about losing FizzCode to Hetalia. Sorry, I have much hatred for Hetalia since they keep stealing circle I love and it makes me sad since I just can not get into it. smueragiskank has started to fall for that baseball series you like lol

So is it on-line only, or did like none of the Dolpa dolls sell out in store?

So is Kima === that person from the Dolpa who touched Haruhi?

Did you get either of your packages? I bought a new sweater yesterday! Though I might looks at some houses Thursday.
