YUI scans, updates, and random thoughts
I'm growing fonder of Andrea kun each day! Lately he's been giving me more reasons to update this journal ^^
This was actually supposed to be a different kind of post, but I guess I'll just bulk everything in one single entry ^^
First things first: SCANS! YUI in October's Oricon Style.
Credits: k3 @JPS.
So, here's the story; the scans were uploaded in bmp format, which gave each single scan a dimension > 25 MB. So, I went crazy and made 3 versions:
1) (more or less) web-friendly previews:
-Size: 1500x2400 px; cover: 1500x1923 px
-Dimensions: vary between 990KB-1.4MB per page (just found out Photobucket resizes images over 1MB -_- hope that doesn't ruin anything ^^;)
-Resolution: 300 dpi
-Format: JPG
-Total number of scans: 10
can be viewed by clicking on thumbs below.
**text is easily readable.
2) original size, different format:
-Size: 2549x3470 px; cover: 2734x3505 px
-Dimensions: vary between 10.1MB-14.3MB per page
-Resolution: 300 dpi
-Format: JPG
-Total number of scans: 10
-Archive dimensions: 104MB
download RAR archive: [ MU]
3) original scans:
-Size: 2549x3470 px; cover: 2734x3505 px
-Dimensions: vary between 25.3MB-27.4MB per page
-Resolution: 300 dpi
-Format: BMP
-Total number of scans: 11 (archive includes smaller JPG cover)
-archive dimension: 178MB

YAY my first scans post! Hope I didn't forget to mention or include anything. If so let me know and I'll fix it as soon as I can.

The REAL post was supposed to be a simple update to mention that
I FINALLY HAVE A DECENT LAYOUT
(best viewed at 1280x800)
It took me longer than expected to put together the image and figure out the whole customization thing on LJ. Well, figuring out was not bad, just finding out how on earth they made those styles is what drove me a bit crazy! But anyway, that's over and done with, so... go see my layout! NO WAIT! BEFORE you see it, just know this is my first time making something like this so.. tell me what you think, and go easy on me (^_^;;) NOW, you can go see my new layout ^^ (tenjo chan, no Arashi this time -more or less. they're kinda.. hidden! (;^_^A )
Next I'll have to make me some nice icons ^^ I mean, chihiro is nice and all, but I want backups ^^
Next update. I've added romanization to the Music Station rankings I posted last time. I'm also slowly uploading the bits with the talks and live performances of the episode's guests. It's all in this post. I only have 2 videos uploaded right now, so if you're interested in the others check back later ^^. All performances uploaded.
Onto other stuff -aka my life!
A few days ago I was tidying up one of my drawers when I found a silver nail polish I had bought in... December 2000 !!! I've never used it -wonder why I bought it. "I wonder how it looks!" Applied it on one hand.. it was nice. Next day applied it on the other hand, and found out that:
1) if you're not used to applying nail polish, it's not as easy as it looks;
2) my right hand totally sucks at doing this!
Friday I went to my faculty to attend a couple of my friends' thesis discussion for their graduation. I saw a persone I knew and we started chatting. Then he noticed my silver-colored nails. He was like, "Did you get yourself a boyfriend?".. O___O eh? "Well I've never seen you wear nail polish before.." O_o what's that got to do with anything? That guy's mind works in a weird way sometimes.
Speaking of my friends' graduation, for one of them I wanted to sign his thesis copy. I usually choose something to write in a language other than Italian (that way I can get away with writing a simple phrase!). This time I chose Japanese: Sotsugyou omedetou! (卒業おめでとう), under that a simple thing in Italian. I wrote the Japanese perfectly, but totally messed up the Italian! LIKE WHAT !?! My friend was like, "Coming from you, it's totally normal yo!" (;^_^A
CHANGE OF SUBJECT:
I watched my first episode of "Heroes" tonight. I think it was episode 15. The summary was confusing, but it's good a friend of mine gave me some highlights a few days ago ^^; A lot of people told me it was fun to watch, but I actually got a little bored ^^; it was too fragmented, jumping from one story to another. The fact that commercials kept popping up for 5 or more minutes every 10 minutes probably added to that fragmentation. Anyway, I'd be happy just watching the bits with Hiro (total bias!). Maybe I should just give it another chance.
Today's episode's best line: "What's an Ando?!" ROTFL
TOTALLY RANDOM:
I WANT TO FOUND A NEW FANCLUB!
I don't know when I started admiring this person, but the more I got to know him, the more I admired him!! He's super smart, knows a lot about a lot, is gentle, fun to be around, a child at heart, has a cute face, is a good friend and an AWESOME professor!
I'm reading "Cell" by Stephen King. It's been a while since I last read any of his novels. Maybe that's why I'm finding this one a little boring ^^; even though things seem to be picking up now. There's this Johnny character in there. First time I read that name I was like, "What is Johnny san doing in a Stephen King novel?! O__O" LOL
I found this sentence he wrote quite.. fun!:
"..under conditions of extreme stress [the body] simply takes over and does what needs doing while the brain stands off to one side, unable to do anything but whistle and tap its foot and look up at the sky."
ARASHI is still in the top 20 on Oricon Chart!!! #16 to be precise. After more than 1 month of their single's release, being on the top 20 isn't usual, ne!
What's bugging me is Akikawa Masafumi still in top 30. It's kinda irritating, I have no idea why!
I LOVE PRODAI OST! ^^v
