Yes, I'm alive

[rkold]

And I've managed to survive our recent spate of earthquakes. I've also now lived many X fangirl's dream and I was actally visiting Sunshine 60 when the first (and largest) of the recent earthquakes hit. Clamp might have something about Sunshine 60 being some sort of cornerstone, cause it really didn't shake all that much. In fact the major way I discovered we were having an earthquake was my Frappacino refused to stay on the table and get trying to slide into my lap. ^^;;



Let's see, today I went to visit Studio Alta in Shinjuku and I think I had a brush with stardom. Some Security guard cordoned off 2 or 3 cute young Japanese guys from a bunch of school girls as they exited the store and rushed into a waiting van. Makes me think J-pop/J-rock people or maybe actors? While at Studio Alta, I saw the brand new SDs/MSDs and hmmmm Kun is gorgeous, Yuri (I think that is her name) has too much make-up for my tastes, Link is all right, and Kohaku looks WAY better in person (and with a brown wig) then he looked in the pictures I saw on Volk's site. I can't wait to visit the Akihabara branch and see if there are more dolls to see.

I bought the ShusukexYuta trading card and the beach card of them. *big shock*

I've bought waaaaaay too many doujinshi, mostly of the Rikkai variety and mostly involving either Yagyuu or Niou. Speaking of Rikkai..it seems there is a school in the Tokyo area called Rikkyo, and it looks rather prestigious (it was founded in 1896 according to the writing on the school crests) and interestingly enough their school uniform looks JUST LIKE the ones for Rikkai... hmmmmmmmm*is amused* The two boys from the school were also quite adorable.

I've discovered Muji and rather desperately want a cashmere scarf from there. *wonders if they take US credit cards and wonders if they don't if maybe Uni Qlo does...* I bought a Strawberry Fanta to try.

I had lots of fun at Comic City. I bought Greed pr0n, yes, it does exist and in most cases was really really wrong. I have not yet seen Kimberly doujinshi, though maybe he appears in the my Scar uke doujinshi I bought today. XD I wish I could find EdxAl.. all I see is AlxEd and I prefer the other way. I saw the new Seed calendar, I'm waiting for the second PoT one, so I can get both cause Yuuta looks too adorable in both of them. I need Fuji and Saeki playing pool at either the Atobe pool hall or the Hyoutei club house for Yuuta because it is just too amusingly wrong. Smaller Comic Cities are nice, the lines for the big circles are way smaller, though of course many circles also don't pick to show up.

I NEED MFDB Licca #13. SO CUTE!!!! The price has gone up to 1500 yen, but GAAAAH I need how to make costumes from Fairytales/Children's books. ^o^ I'm not impressed with Takumi. I LIKE anime characters and I think he's just sort of ehhhhh. Sayuri is so pretty in real life and I adore her outfit. *wishes TRU had her.* MFDB #18 for Jenny was out and looked interesting.


And a very happy belated birthday to katsuchan, becroberts, (and I want to say Gina, cause I'm pretty sure your birthday is in Oct, but my mind is going with age..) ginarolo and a happy early birthday to emilychan just cause I don't know if I will be on-line too much. ^^;

Thank you! ♥ ♥ *hugs* And make sure you have a great time at the Yuuta event on Sunday! :DDDDD

[rhole.livejournal.com]

glad to hear you're surviving. maybe we'll randomly be on aim at the same time again.

[rkold.livejournal.com]

*HUGS* Thanks so much and I will be sure to get your very late gift out to you by Friday at the latest! I promise!

Gahhhhh, I so like Muji. RWT!Yuuta is definitely a Muji person now. He can even get the shampoo. lol

I am so sad I didn't make it back now cause I could have used my Mastercard. Though now I so want the Starbucks!Visa. As soon as I am done re-financing.. *shakes fist*

BTW, you made it home safe, right?

[rkold.livejournal.com]

I am such the slave to corporate coffee. XD

I think I must apply for a card to use in case I can't sue my Discover at Disney. XD

Anyway, hopefully will catch you on tonight, movie plans have been derailed until Sunday on account of Kennis being religious.

Wow. Many dramatic things seem to be happening in Japan at the moment. @_@ Glad you're okay. ^___^ Sounds like a successful trip so far...:P

[rkold.livejournal.com]

YES, it is a very dramatic trip. I don't think I've ever experienced so many quakes. lol

[ad-exia.livejournal.com]

Glad you're okay after the earthquakes - be careful, I'm not sure if they're expecting more! Regardless, have fun! ^_^

... And you're right, CLAMP may have something there...

[rkold.livejournal.com]

Well, that's sort of the problem with earthquakes, you can't really predict them. ^^; (Well, unless you see a DoE nearby and I unfortunately did not)

[ad-exia.livejournal.com]

Hehe, yes. But if you DO see one, and he's holding ice cream... run like hell. O.O;;

... That is one hot Yuuta icon. XD

[rkold.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It's my favorite circle who sadly is no longer doing doujinshi. >.< I have most of the ones they've done at least.

Never trust cute gay boys with ice cream. XD

Have fun in Japan!

Make sure to check out the head molds for Full Choice System MSDs at Volks. There are some nice ones. My favorites are MSD F-13 and F-08.

And take a special look at Kaede if she is on display. She is suppose to be very special. But slightly smaller than MSD.

Thanks for remembering my birthday.

Re: Have fun in Japan!

[rkold.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid all the head molds just blend together for me. They were sold out of the book you wanted and weren't getting it in until after I left. I think the wig is possibly discontinued since I didn't see it at any of the 3 stores I tried. I did get you some more eye putty though. lol

I didn't see Kaede, just Kun, Yori, Kohaku and Link oddly enough.

Welcome

vvvv I'm Ed × Al fan. I don't like Al × Ed all that much -- I tolerate it, but don't like it. ^^;

If you're going to 冬コミ (Fuyu Komi -> Winter Comiket), I'd say, stop by HYS or Heppoko Alchemist table. Both are [mostly] exclusive Ed × Al (well I know HYS is exclusive, but Heppoko Alchemist did a slight variation...Al × Ed sexual but Ed × Al feeling) and they have great/cute artwork to boot. There are other circles I like -- 重慶花園 (who also does very nice GreedAl illustration), 夢綴館, Koihime, Hakkeido Housekiten, and Zerosiki Hevens...

[daemonicangel.livejournal.com]

And that slight variation, as far as I know, it was only once and it was in one of Tachikawa's novel, iirc...

Unfortunately, my Japanese sucks so it's always a challenge to try and find things. It doesn't help that there was some sort of Elric kyoudai only event the same day as Comic City, so it probably siphoned people off. If you could give me some links for good EdxAl circles in the future, I would love to see them, as I want to make it back to Japan, again. I like GreedxAl XD I only saw GreedxEd but I bought several of those and damn it I want the BlueCrest EnvyxEd. I confess, since I can't read Japanese I prefer ones where the story is easy to guess or smutty ones where the story is sort of not necessary. *RED*
