So this is going to be a lot shorter than my Yokohama reports, mostly because I spent the second half of the show in a total daze.

( far fewer words )

So here's my report. It's taken me forever, partly because I went to the concerts at the beginning of my trip instead of the end like I usually do, I was super busy running around every day, and then when I got back it was straight back to work where everything is horrible, plus jet lag killing me. Basically what I'm telling you is I'm a garbage ( Read more... )

Second round of pictures from Kyoto. I didn't have a chance to go to Entoku-in the past few times I've been in Kyoto, and I'm really glad I got to go this time. It was gorgeous, and virtually devoid of other people (a welcome respite during Silver Week).

( oh wrap the ground around your gentle winding mind )

The second this showed up in my inbox, I knew it was going to be dorky and stupid because it's Okada. I was not disappointed.

( it's today! )

Took my camera with me back to Japan but only got to take pictures around Kyoto (couldn't in Tokyo since I was basically going to cons every day after sightseeing in the morning and they don't let you take cameras into the venue). It was great to revisit a lot of the places I'd been before but didn't get to spend a lot of time exploring.

( no words no talk we'll go dreaming )

I have my con reports halfway written but I just don't feel like finishing writing them, or scanning the many things I bought, so here's a short translation of an interview that popped up on my Twitter feed months and months ago that I wanted to translate. Not much real info about V6 or anything, but it's still a nice little interview.

( Our team has a lot of love for V6 )

Work has kept me so busy lately I haven't gotten to translate V6 things and that makes me sad. Since I'm done with most of my prep for Japanese preschool this week, here's a short translation.

( I love looking for cookware in Kappabashi. I feel like a kid in a candy store. )

Since I ended up having to cancel all my plans today, I decided I should be productive and translated the last 3 pages of the V6 interview. Part 1 is here. Now if you'll excuse me, I can feel myself melting into the ground. Soon I will become one with the Earth's core, yet even the molten core of the giant floating ball on which we all live can't ( Read more... )

I thought about just doing this all in one go, but I would hate for this to get overwhelming and then I never finish it (like so many of my translation projects). So I'm gonna try to do about 100-ish lines at a time and see how far that gets me. This is about 13/4 of the 31/2-4 total pages that this interview takes up, so we're nearing halfway done ( Read more... )

Trying to get out and see as much of the PNW as I can before I move next year. Finally went to Discovery Park and saw the Lighthouse.
