I lost the tickets I was bidding on. I bid quite high and it is annoying because I was just outbid by a bit and as the tickets are concert tickets I need to let SMJ bid on them so it's not even like I can snipe. I'm also frustrated since some of the other tickets I was considering sold for considerably less and I could have won those. So now I am once again on the look out for good seat(s) to see Hoshi. I have another auction I am watching, the seats are not as good, (more off to a side) but row 12-14 seems good. I just wish I could bid myself like on other items and didn't have to bid manually since it makes it an awful lot more work for me.

I'm still attempting to figure out my Japan trip. I've fallen in love with the idea of visiting one of Takeda's hidden onsen and I still really want to go back to Ueda and Bessho.

I've also discovered that despite being called plum blossoms ume are in fact apricot blossoms. ~.~ I don't see why one calls them plum when they are in fact apricot. On the happy side there are going to be some ume fests while I am in Japan and I am determined to go!

Onto Memeage!

Reply to this post, and I'll tell you one reason why I like you. Then repost this and spread the love.

To start things off on a happy note, I got some perfume as a gift from

reynardine Thank you!!!!! It was so sweet of you! :D Now I have one less Holiday scent to try and chase down and debate as my PayPal balance dwindles. I also received the Yo Vampire set I've been dying for as a gift from Red Rosin, whose LJ I don't know. I so appreciate it, and it's like a pseudo birthday gift even if that was not the intention.

On the sucky side, the person I commissioned to get me perfumes at the Trunk Show not only probably didn't get me any of the bottles but hasn't posted that she definitely didn't and I want her to refund my money now since it seems like she didn't get any. I mean it's been a couple days I think it is not unreasonable she refunds me and tells me she definitely didn't succeed. It's really frustrating and annoying, though I might have gotten a testor of Blue Phoenix from someone so I can at least know if I love it.

And even suckier... there is trying to clean the house to sell it. You can't even tell I've done any work. ;;_;; I am trying to be good and toss out all sorts of things I've been saving for reasons unknown including a Hebrew School notebook circa 1983 meaning it is about the same age as

muscatlove It included a wonderful potential letter to a potential Israeli pen pal declaring the following about me: I like to travel, I like using a computer, I love drawing and being "creative." I like dolls and watching TV. I just read that list and think wow.... things really don't change do they lol

But I know everyone wants to see me be a Sengoku Basara fangirl and visit Sendai and Matsushima so...

( I would never let a seagull come near me! )

Stay tuned for the scary video I made on the cruise featuring people getting far closer to seagulls that I think a person ever should. I want to state now, *I* did not let those seagulls come near me!

LJ does not appear to be working so I am wondering if this will even be able to post. I was going to make a long and wangsty rant about some of the DoA people who are really bugging me at the moment, but it just doesn't seem worth it. Not when I have more important things on my mind, like trying to get tickets to see the Sengoku Basara Festa. One of the guests is of course, Hoshi Souichirou (since he plays one of the 2 leads and my favorite character Sanada Yukimura) For those who don't know Hoshi has been my favorite seiyuu (Sakurai is #2, even if Suzaku is my favorite character) since 2001, when I first heard from Angelic Layer. He was just so charming and smarmy as Oujirou, I loved it. And while Sanada is nothing like Oujirou, I would be so thrilled to finally have this opportunity. The Festa is the week end after my hopefully next doujinshi event, White Valentine's Day. I have to say, doing doujinshi is somewhat addicting. You do one, and then you sort of feel like you want to do more. It doesn't hurt that the last event I was rather successful and actually managed to sell around 20 books total. Please everyone, hope that I am as lucky at the next event! :D

One nice thing about going to Japan is, seeing movies on the plane so here are some spoilerifc thoughts on the Japanese movies I saw Hagetaka /the Vulture, Kita no Zeronen/Year 1 in the North, Rookies - Sotsugyo/Rookies, and Katen no Shiro/Castle Under Fiery Skies as well as the US movies Gi Joe: Rise of Cobra and Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
( Lots of spoilerific thoughts )

In the future hopefully there will be discussions on the books Havemercy and Shadow Magic

I also tried 4 Conjure Oils. Poison Apple is not bad, but the other 3, Blood Rush, Gingerbread House and Sweet Death are incredibly awful.

First... Happy Birthday to

kellyhime!

Second.. Basara 11+12 were finally subbed and I am not sure which attack filled me with more glee, Date's "War Dance" or Sanada's "Wings of Suzaku" Also Koujirou x Akechi would be so hot. XD;;;

Third... it seems woodchucks do not like basil. Everything else has been munched on in the last week except the basil.

Fourth... ( You know you want to see picture of my garden )

Ganked from many people on my flist...
If there is one person or more on your friends list who makes your world a better place just because they exist and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.

Also ganked from lots of people on my flist...

List 10 ~~or so..~~ of your favorite characters from different fandoms, and ask people to spot patterns in your choices, and if they're so inclined, to draw conclusions about you based on the patterns they've spotted.

Code Geass - Suzaku Kururugi
Gundam 00 - Saji Crossroad
Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series - Marik Ishtar
Sengoku Basara - Sanada Yukimura
CCS (and prob Tsubasa as well) - Syaoran(s?)
X - Kamui Shirou, and Yuzuriha Nekoi
Prince of Tennis - Fuji Yuuta
Gundam Seed - ~~not Destiny since I don't really like anyone in actual Destiny~~ Kira Yamato
Clamp Campus Detectives/20 Mensou - Akira Ijyuin
Princess Tutu - Fakir

Personally, I don't think it's that hard to see the connections, but that could just be me.

Things have been busy here. I managed to injure my hand in CA and I've had some unpleasant adventures with trying to get my car fixed and inspected. ;;_;; I have been taking garden pictures but have not been good about editing them. It makes me think I need a Flickr account just to make the uploading easier. >>; The green beans and scarlet runner beans are doing amazing and I'm excited to be eating fresh and local produce finally. I also now own my own dehydrator. It is made of win.

Other thoughts...

Does anyone on my flist know how to rip a R2 DVD onto your hard drive? I want to convert it to some other formats so I can share if with those people who do not have code-free DVD players. ~~namely my in-laws~~

I'm addicted to The Comics Curmudgeon thanks to

I've discovered a JR East pass can be bought in Japan, which is a very happy thing since I don't really want to pay for Fed Ex shipping and have to wait around for the Fed Ex guy to come. I sort of feel like I have enough to do without that.

I also finally bought a new battery for my laptop, found out more on making Spinzaku street legal and managed to get in a nice walk.

I'm debating my missing two days of reservations. Originally I was thinking of staying in an onsen in Furusawa until I discovered it would take over an hour to get to Tsuruoka from there and the trains only run once every 2 hours o_O;;; So I think it is Sakata for me. Since I think sakura should be way done by then I am also now debating whether I would not prefer to just overnight in Yamagata the 2nd night. The places I found in Tsuruoka itself are smoking and the place in Yonohama, while it has a free bus to Yamagata is also 1 hour by not free bus from Tsuruoka. If I over night in Yamagata I can try to make it to Yonezawa where they are having their Uesugi Kenshin Festival, and possibly make it to an onsen there. I could also maybe go to Yamadera or take a bus trip up to Zao. It just also means I need to be back in Tsuruoka in time to catch a bus. But I don't know how long I am going to spend in Hagure-san.

Yonezawa is on the shink route back to Tokyo vs Zao which is the middle of nowhere. Yamadera is on some tiny barely used train line that eventually goes to Sendai. Decisions!

The other day I went to see the pain doctor with my mom, and at lunch there were crayons at the tables. Since we had two shades of brown and 1 green, I decided I may as well do a tiny bit of sketching. I eventually borrowed a few other colors from other tables.
( cause pictures are large )

I am really liking Sengoku Basara. I love Date and Sanda ~~And I think I need doujinshi of them >>;;;;~~

Last night I had two bad dreams both based on real life. The first involved the dollar suddenly sinking to $1=1 yen right before my trip to Japan. I'm sure this is because the dollar to yen ratio dipped recently from a little over 100 to 98, though now it is back around 99, but I always feel anxiety now especially after the misery of 85 yen to the dollar. I also then dreamed I somehow got on a Tokaido shinkansen without anyone checking for tickets and made it all the way to some random semi-inaka station called "Sakae" not far from Kokura and the edge of Honshu. i was walking through the station when suddenly I realized I had not ticket or rail pass and trains only came once every hour or two and I was stuck. I think this means I need to order my pass. >>;;; Of course this trip, I am unlikely to end up anywhere near Kokura as I am getting a JR East only pass. At the moment the 4 day Flex pass seems the best bet since I am only definitely taking expensive trains on Fri, Tuesday and Thursday. I think I'm going to private line it to Tokyo from Narita since they're all cheaper and faster to get to Ikebukuro and just bus it from my hotel on the 6th, since then I don't need to takyuubin! :D

( I hope you're not sick of flower pictures in Japan yet... )

( I also finally watched the first episode of the new FMA and Sengoku Basara )
