2 hours meeting, 8 hours shinkansen ride plus 1.5 hour subway/taxi ride in Nagoya and Sendai combined. That's what my day was like today. Since I hate train food and we were on a tight schedule I had nothing to eat the whole day and my butt hurts from sitting on a train for so long, but tired as hell I am finally back home. Rest is well deserved ( Read more... )

OK, the subject of the entry is a shameless lie since I came back from the Netherlands two weeks ago. However, I didn't have an internet connection most of the time since my return so this is a "tadaima" post. Anyone missed me? No? ....I knew it >_>;
Anyway The Hague was really nice and it was great to see friends I rarely get to see these days ( Read more... )

I took a day off today, because I wanted to rest a little before going to The Netherlands on Sunday. I have no last moment work left to do before the trip and both my students are trained and prepared too. Well, sort of, now they just have to memorize the right words I taught them to say.
Did I mention I took the day off, because I wanted to rest? I ( Read more... )

I finally got off my couch to write about this week's trip to Kyoto. I must say I had been feeling quite comfortable there lazing around watching Burn Notice and dozing off from time to time, but let's get this out of the way ;)

( Kyoto trip )

2007, 2008, 2009, 2010. Each and every year I spent September 9 with D'espairsRay.
Somehow 2011 ended up being not so sad and lonely after all. Tsukasa suddenly came to play on pigg (ameba's interactive chat room) and he sang enka and pranced around and then together with everyone sang Happy Birthday song. Zero peta'd everyone on ameba and Hizumi ( Read more... )

Their story is anything but simple. However, translation related post is not a place for the translator’s rant. Rant was yesterday (see previous entry), today it's just a translation and Hizumi's words.

Same as before:
I will appreciate any help if there are any mistakes or something needs to be corrected.
Please do not repost it anywhere. I prefer ( Read more... )

I didn’t want to say anything until I heard them try and explain what happened, the breakup announcement was hardly enough, and at the same time I found it hard to put everything into right words. But Hizumi’s Rock and Read interview was the proverbial last straw. I understand that there are a lot of things he cannot say, but I still get so annoyed ( Read more... )

Now it is finally time to tell the story of all stories, kids. Make yourself comfortable and get ready for the story full of adventures. And brace yourself, because it will not be only very long, but also quite brain-damaging *cackles and rubs her hands gleefully*

Yesterday was the last day of an exhibition of D'espairsRay's instruments at Buddy Soundworks store and I think on a spur of the moment the day before D'espa decided to go there and have a three hours signing session (it lasted almost an hour longer in the end). Of course, the moment I read an announcement I sent a message to N. saying "Let's go to ( Read more... )

I went out with a mania friend yesterday and I am so blaming it all one her. She made me do it! She made me buy that T-shirt! ヽ(`Д´)ノ But it looks good on me so it's OK ;P
See for yourself.
