So, I finished capturing all the R&C3 sound yesterday, & started editing, which revealed the fact that I should've been capturing 2 full loops + padding instead of just grabbing 1 & planning on editing, as lining up the loops is kind of a PITA. Of course, some of the levels have that really annoying "feature" where there's someone TALKING at the ( Read more... )

Lots of crap to catch up on, so I'll keep this brief...

Had a field trip to Nikko, saw a few waterfalls & Toshogu shrine, but no monkeys. Went to the Edo Tokyo museum the next day w/ Girl's school people. Found the Qoo mirror one night at the store, and went out the wrong subway exit the next night & found another of the same store slightly ( Read more... )

So, I get to school plenty early & head up to the classroom for Japanese 6A. And it's pretty nice, except for the loud construction work outside. So I sit down & wait.. And wait, and wait, and NOBODY comes. WTF? So I look around, and a couple people are looking around for more people in their class next door. I check the schedule multiple ( Read more... )

So after the marathon Thursday morning was our Japanese placement test at 9am. 4 parts, each timed. Each one started off super easy: わたしはいえ◯でる。(fill in the circle w/ 1 hiragana). Then they got slightly harder, & some of the words took a while to figure out: A: 先生、◯◯◯◯ん。 (I was thinking しつもん at first, but that'd be too short (and too rude)- took ( Read more... )

So, it's now the start of day 4 in the dorms.. and time for another ketchup post. (Ohhh, I can just hear the さむっ's...)

Saturday: 新宿
So, after the guy in charge of the 'net access left on Saturday morning, Matt & I headed out to wander around Shinjuku & do some more shopping. He needed to hit the Citibank, & I needed to try to get some more cash ( Read more... )

Took me 2 days to write this recap of the week from hell... geh. Hopefully it doesn't take that long to read it.

( Mid-week: Errands From Hell )

So we're over at Girl's mom's house, moving some of her stuff over & having dinner & stuff, when my mom calls saying her email to me bounced. Using my old work email. Which is weird, since I just set it up to forward to my computer, and several tests worked just fine. So she's all freaking out about someone deleting my account on there (I haven' ( Read more... )

Spent yesterday taking pictures of nearly everything I own that I plan on selling. If anyone in SF needs dishes, pots, pans, a dresser, stereo, shelving unit, an acoustic guitar, etc., lemme know. As soon as I finish my work for Asano-sensei (which should've been done weeks ago -_-;) I'll be putting up a web page w/ it all. After that I got ( Read more... )

Ahh, the things you hear walking down Market street at night...

Went to 肉's "party" (i.e. a few people from his work at a bar/restaurant) the other night.. pretty new place called Lime, kinda weird, VERY loud... they had this silent loop of video projected on the wall that kept cutting between old movies (Heathers, Thelma & Louise, & Barbarella ( Read more... )

Yesterday sucked. Woke up around 10 & heard thunder- first bad sign. 2nd was that we were planning on leaving around 11, since we had to stop at a couple places first, & Girl's flight was at 2:30 ( Read more... )
