feeling: ...
listening to: Stayin' Alive is stuck in my head e_e
You know, I might just give up on trying to post something here every month. I already missed October, the first hole in my monthly archives since 2001... so what's another missed month now? I can never come up with anything to post anymore anyway... everything seems so mundane anymore. Except the non-mundane stuff that happens maybe a couple times a year.
So yeah... eh. Maybe I'll stop trying to adhere to the monthly posting rule. Not gonna quit this blog or anything, I'll just probably be around even less and stop myself from caring about posting something every month just for the sake of posting something every month. Or maybe I won't. I dunno yet.
...so I say as I submit this post, first and only of the month, on December 31. lol, oh well.
Oh, here's something I can add for substance... my favorite amusing quote of the day:
"You may call me whatever you wish, but I'm taking your cake."
By L of Death Note, which I am currently re-reading since I got two more volumes for Christmas. Wee!

feeling: sick? not sure...
listening to: LIX. - 「 」
Aw, CRAP! For the first time in nine years, I let a month go by with no posts in this blog DX Even in my angstiest "I'm dropping off the face of the internet, goodbye forever blog" moments, I still managed to post something here at least once a month... now I'm tempted to cheat and post something retroactively dated October nth just so there won't be a big hole in my archives forever... maaaaaaannn *kicks self*
Not much really happened worth talking about in the past couple months though, I guess. Still obsessed with Ameba and Nau and Pigg, which has led to all this neglect of my English-language internet accounts... been bouncing all over the emotional spectrum where band work is concerned... eh, yeah, I guess I can rant about that here. That'll take care of November. >>;
So I believe I mentioned here that LIX., one of my favorite bands in Kiwamu's fold, lost three of its members back in September. That... really hit me hard, for some reason. I've been involved with Japanese indies bands for six years and seen a lot of member changes, dissolutions, etc... yet I had never even met LIX. (except Yuu) and still their end might have hit me even harder than when BLOOD broke up a couple years ago. Maybe because in BLOOD's case, I sort of expected it. But LIX. was so new, so promising, so amazing... they had so much talent and so much going for them, and Yuu was so excited about it... I knew Roger liked them too so I had high hopes that we'd be able to bring them to the US someday and I'd get to meet them. And then half a year later, bam. Gone. Of course, Yuu is determined to continue the band with the new name "lix" and the new vocalist Chihiro, but it's never going to be the same. LIX. was perfect as it was. I can't imagine anything topping that.
And yeah, *points up* my current music? Makes me want to bawl my eyes out every time. Yet I can't turn it offffffff. Argh.
BUT, in other Starwave-related subjects... I mentioned that I was contracted to go to Nekocon the first weekend in November to help out with The Sound Bee HD, right? To be honest, I was REALLY nervous and uneasy about that. I knew nothing about the band except that their music was hit-and-miss with my tastes, none of the other US staff that I've worked with before would be there, and I knew the band had at least one member who knew English so I didn't even know if I'd really be needed. Not to mention Roger wouldn't let me fly there, so I had to "carpool" with another staffer who lives in Pittsburgh and continue to Hampton from there, which meant a 12-hour drive both ways for me. So yeah, I had a REALLY hard time getting geared up for this con. Wasn't feeling much better about it when the 12-hour drive meant I arrived in Hampton too late to meet the band at the airport.
However, it turned out I had been worried over nothing. Well, not nothing, because that 12-hour drive still called for due caution and stuff... but Nekocon this year was without a doubt the BEST convention experience I've ever had. Roger said the same for Tainted Reality in general, and he's worked far more cons than I have so that's saying a lot. Yeah, everything went totally smoothly, nothing even ran noticeably late (except the first concert, but that was only by a tiny bit and it wasn't our fault)... and The Sound Bee HD turned out to be THE BEST group of people I've had the pleasure to work with. Their bassist is female, so she and I roomed together, which meant I worked closer to the band than I ever had before and we had all completely earned each other's trust and confidence by the second day. And that female bassist is also the member who knows English, but turned out to be not as fluent as I thought, so I wasn't unnecessary after all. ^^; In fact, all of the members made sure to let me know on countless occasions that they'd have been lost without me and wanted me to be there for them every time they come to the US from now on. The leader, Daisuke, even said that I was the best interpreter he's ever had in his 20 years as a musician. T___T No group I've EVER worked with has made me feel as needed and appreciated as these guys did. They were absolutely the best. And after some of the other con experiences I've had in recent years, I really, really needed that. ♥
Hear that, Suicide Ali? Better get your butts in gear - you've got rivals! >.>
...It did kind of make me miss Suicide Ali even more, though. I really hope they get to come back here soon. Oh God, if they and Sound Bee ever come here TOGETHER, I think I might die of pure epicness. *dies*
So yeah, I've been in this silly unshakable great mood ever since I got home from Nekocon a week ago. I was so happy for the first day or two after I came home, I literally felt like I was floating. And I've been having a jolly good time writing my con report ever since I got back. >.> Going to be my longest one yet...
And, um, yeah. I guess that's all I got for now. Until December, probably :P;;

feeling: greedy >>
listening to: The Sound Bee HD - Answer
I have the weirdest cat in the world.
No, I lied. I don't. ALL cats are weird. That's what makes them awesome. <3
But ok. Earlier tonight I was listening to Art of Life by X Japan. And if anyone reading this doesn't know that song... GO AWAY. Seriously. Go find it, listen to it, learn what a bloody masterpiece it is, THEN come back, and I will acknowledge you as a human and we will carry on. :P
...I'm gonna make people hate me here.
Ok, back to normal. I was listening to Art of Life, which, for those who don't know, is 28 gloriously heartbreaking minutes long. And barring absolute necessity, I will not leave the range of my speakers or interrupt it with the pause button when it is playing, because it's just that amazing.
Yeah, anyway... now my cat finally comes into play. >> She was here in my room sleeping, and riiiiiiight after Art of Life started playing, she decided to wake up from her hours-long nap and follow her hunger. But she won't go to the kitchen (where her food dish is) by herself - she'll sit there and wait for someone to get up and follow her there, just in case there's an empty dish that needs topping off. I'm used to this. Happens every day, multiple times. Usually I get annoyed with her sitting there staring at me and meowing so I get up and walk her downstairs after just a few minutes, but today... I had Art of Life playing. I wasn't going anywhere.
So as usual, she sat there and waited... but most of the 28-minute song went by and she didn't even meow. Every now and then she'd even look over in the direction of my speakers with this O_O look in her eyes. I could swear she was listening too. See, even cats know the genius of this song. :P
However, once we got a couple minutes into Yoshiki's 11-minute piano solo, she finally had her fill and got up to wander closer to the door. At one point she even left the room... but got about 2 feet away before she came right back in and started meowing, waiting for me to walk her downstairs, still occasionally looking over toward my speakers. >> FINALLY the song ended and I walked her downstairs so she could sit her fat butt in front of her dish (which did not need refilling, by the way) and eat.
She sat here for half an hour waiting for me to take her on a 20-second walk downstairs to the kitchen.
I think I like the idea that she was just listening to the song along with me more. I mean, what cat is that dumb?
...Yeah, yeah, I know. :P
No, really. I love my cat. She's the best. But holy crap, lol.
Ok, back to the slots machine. $987,000 to go until I can afford that white tiger... *sigh*

feeling: meh
listening to: nothing
Oops, almost let another month go by with no post... >> Heh, I always did say if I ever decided to abandon my blogs, I'd do it silently...
Actually, there just hasn't really been much to post about. Another wasted month, whoopty-doo. At least I've gotten back into the study habit this month - I'm almost through 600 kanji in my book - and I've translated tons of lyrics, my favorites of them being the Variable Messiah Best Collection tracks. Speaking of Variable Messiah, they actually had a one-time-only comeback live the other day... and you know, I don't think I've ever regretted not being in Japan as much as I did that weekend. I mean... in one live house, in one evening, there was Suicide Ali, Variable Messiah, LIX., and even Mojimania, another band that Hiroshi has been playing guitar for. There was also a huge session event and a bunch of awesome stuff that doesn't happen at their typical live shows, such as HISASHI SINGING??? And here I am stuck on the opposite side of the world being a loser with no extra few thousand dollars to spare to go see it...
Oh well, so it goes. I know my lot in life. ¬_¬
Otherwise, Pigg continues to suck me in and steal all my attention. I actually managed to beat the fishing game a few days ago (HOLY HECK YES FINALLY), but then they introduced a casino area where you can earn casino bucks to spend on all these epic prizes. Among them is a PET WHITE TIGER. Which is like, my #1 dream item of any game EVER. I want it even more than I wanted a pet Munak in Ragnarok. >_> But of course it's also the most expensive item in the game. And I... am the worst gambler in history. I'm never gonna get it. *cries* ...But that doesn't stop me from dumping all my meager savings into the slot machines hoping to hit the jackpot because it's my only chance at ever being able to afford it. Argh.
I also have a bugbite on the back of my hand and it's driving me crazy. gbsjtgbshtrfbh

feeling: sleepy
listening to: I Wanna Be the Fangame BGM
Just so the entire month of July doesn't slip by without a post here... also because I've been dozing off in my seat for like 3 hours now and I could use something to wake me up...
So um, yeah... the things I ranted about last time on the Pigg front have pretty much calmed down. It's been pretty darn boring for the past month or so, in fact. I don't see the SA guys online much at all anymore, perhaps because the legions of fangirls stalking them all the time scared them off. Last time I saw Hiroshi in his room, late June I think, about 10 other fans were in there... >_x I have had a couple of amusing interactions with Zig (former Luzmelt bassist) though, haha. He's such a weirdo.
I still log on every day though, just for the other stuff it has to offer... daily scratch card freebies, daily amassing of sometimes-spendable currency, talking with Reiko <3... and of course, the fishing game. God, so addicting. >_> And yeah, there is always the vague hope and possibility of talking with the guys again every now and then.
Speaking of Kiwamu's bands... last week I received the extremely sad news that LIX. is losing three of its members as of September. Yuu will be the only one left. ;_; Nothing has been said about LIX. ceasing activities or where the other members will go from there, but an official announcement is yet to come... they've only talked about it on their blogs so far, and assured people that it's not because of bad blood or anything. I was so upset by that news, though. That band had INCREDIBLE talent and potential... and I was so excited to bring them to the US someday. (And not only because the vocalist is/was freaking beautiful. shut up. >>;;) Besides, I know Yuu was so excited about this band. From back when he first told me and the other US staff about it, before he even knew what the band name would be, to just a few weeks before the announcement when he told me in a Pigg convo how great a band he'd managed to pull together... and now he's all that's left of it. I do hope he'll find new members and make the band successful again, but at the same time I know it won't be the same... they were so absolutely amazing as they were...
*sigh* Now Re:vive is stuck in my head again... that song always did sound heartbreaking to me, and now it's gonna be even worse u_u
Anyway, happier band news. I found out the other day that another of Kiwamu's newer Starwave bands, The Sound Bee HD, will be coming to Nekocon this November, and it looks like I'll be going with Tainted Reality to help them out. (I don't think it's been officially announced yet, so shh!) I'm not as enraptured by them as I have been by Suicide Ali, Luzmelt, and LIX., but they did grab my interest and they seem like a band I could get into. So I'm pretty excited to meet them and find out what they're like... but also pretty nervous since I have no idea what to expect. There's also the fact that none of the usual staff I'm used to from SA tours will be there, and I don't know what other TR staff Roger is bringing, or if the band is bringing any staff... surely Kiwamu will send Miwa at least, but who knows...
Yeah, I've been thinking, though, about whether it would be a good idea or not to try and bring Suicide Ali to Ohayocon. >>; I never really had ties with their staff or anything, so I don't know what kind of setup they'd have to offer in the way of concert stuff... and I haven't been there in a couple years so I don't know how things have been there most recently. I know it's gotten to be a pretty big con in terms of attendance, like three times as big as Nekocon and Tekkoshocon... but I dunno... And yeah, there's also the fact that SA has already had two of their three US appearances on the east coast, so some other parts of the nation deserve to see them next time. Also, if they come to Ohayocon they'll probably freeze their skinny little butts off. >_>
So it'd be fun to bring them onto my home turf, so to speak... but yeah, oh well. Haha. If Roger ever decides to try and book them there, though, I'll be all over it. :P
Anyway, I guess we're taking my nephew to the zoo tomorrow, so I might as well get to bed a bit early...

feeling: irritated
listening to: Suicide Ali - Yuukai Gokko
So everyone knows I've been completely infatuated with Ameba Pigg for the past couple months, right? Well, heh... I'm seeing that it has both its good and its bad sides. The good, for example, includes that I occasionally get to talk with the members of Suicide Ali and LIX. But being so involved in their little corners of Pigg Land means that I also get to interact with Japanese fans... and thus experience whole new levels of fandom drama. I've met some great people and made some good friends there, but gah, the things you see and learn and hear... it just makes me want to tear my hair out sometimes.
Tonight was one of those nights. I just... ugh. Stupid fans are stupid. If you're going to be so whiny because the guys aren't exactly what you want them to be, then get out of our fandom and let us enjoy it all the more. >.> Seriously, they shouldn't have to base their whole musical career around one or two pushy fans' selfish opinions. And what makes it even worse is that the guys are too nice for their own good, so they actually take it to heart and worry that they're doing something wrong when 99.9% of fans would be perfectly happy to see them go on doing exactly what they're doing. I mean, these stalkery fangirl creeps wigging out at other fans for crossing their own self-imposed boundaries is one thing, but getting pushy and demanding toward the band members themselves is just... arrrrgh. Stop it. Let them be what they choose to be, and stop making decent fans scared to be in the same (virtual) room as them OR you.
And we won't even go into the rampant gossip fodder and rumor mills... 9_9
Yeah. Fun and addicting though it is, the existence of Pigg (and Ameba and Nau, for that matter) can get really frustrating.
On a happier note, though... Variable Messiah is AMAZING. I finally got to hear previews and wow. *____* I would say it's a shame they broke up, but they kind of went on to become Suicide Ali, so... XD;
I think I could get into The Sound Bee HD, too. And maybe even the fool. o_o Boss has definitely found some promising new (and old, in VariMisa's case) bands to sell this year. ♥
Ok, now that I've gotten all that out, time for bed...

listening to: Duel Jewel - Hanauta
Yeah, haven't been posting here much lately... again. Actually been kept out and running on a pretty frequent basis since I came home from Pittsburgh, but I kind of got obsessed with Ameba, which includes blogging, twitter-like service, and chat/IM all in one, so I've been doing everything there and totally neglecting my Blogger, LJ, Twitter, IMs and pretty much everything else... */ridiculous run-on sentence*
Been a lot going on, I guess, but nothing particularly life-shattering or whatever. A lot of family outings and gatherings (particularly nephew-related since his baseball season started this month), Dumplin's graduation and party, karaoke with Tiff and her husband... yeah, I, ME, went karaoke-ing. I hope Satan has a good winter coat. *cough* Karaoke was awesome though. Hope we can do it again soon.
Also been trying to change some habits and stuff in my daily routine in hopes of improving health and moods and whatnot. Getting up earlier, drinking one of my many varieties of green tea every day, drinking more in general (have a feeling a lot of my headaches come from dehydration), eating less sweets and junk, studying kanji again, going out every day for a walk and/or bike ride, weather permitting... and yeah, the weather was not permitting for the past couple weeks, thank you very much spring. The skies finally cleared up this week, but now the rain is replaced with nasty summer heat. I can't win. e_e
The rest of my life these days, I pretty much spend playing around on Pigg, Ameba's avatar chat program. So ridiculously addictive, argh. For about a week (the rainy one heh) it was basically my entire life. >> And yes, naturally, I'm waaaaay behind on the usual routines and duties (read: fansub stuff) as a result. Was gonna spend today catching up at least on comments and new member adds and stuff, but I came here to blog instead, go me. Guess there's still time, since I planned to hold off on my bike ride until evening when the heat backs off a bit...
Yeah, I guess I should go do that. Sorry this turned out pretty pointless. Wait, what am I apologizing for? Pointless is the whole point of this blog. >_>

feeling: lens is dried out *arghflail*
listening to: Luzmelt - L∞pStream
I'm so proud that I figured out how to type that infinity symbol, haha.
...Wow. Had some of the best and worst times of my J-band working life ever at Tekkoshocon last week. Overall it was a great experience, great concerts and great bands and a post-party that rivaled PMX in awesomeness... but at certain other moments I just wanted to crawl into a corner and fume/grumble/cry alone (or while collapsed on someone's shoulder maybe *cough* I never said that) for an hour or so. Was no time for that, though, since as you can imagine, being the one and only translator for two bands at the same con is INSANITY. I barely ever got breaks to use the restroom, let alone sit around moping.
Suicide Ali made it all worthwhile though, as they always do. Honestly, I love them more and more every time I get to see them. Luzmelt's great too, but I guess I just haven't had time to get attached to them yet, heh. Suicide Ali, though... seriously, if there was such a thing as the perfect band, in every way, it would be them. The perfect members with perfect chemistry, perfect balance of personalities and talents, perfect creativity in their music and concepts, perfect love of new experiences that makes them perfect for performing overseas (as often as possible *cough*)... not to mention they're all perfect sweethearts. And unlike the guys in BLOOD, who kind of grew jaded or something the more times they came here, our relationships with Suicide Ali just keep getting better and better. Forever would not be long enough for a band like them to exist in this world. ;_;
Pardon my fangirling... I've been trying to focus my attention more on this stuff rather than dwell on the less happy experiences of this con, as I'm naturally more apt to do...
Changing the subject, though, I finally got to buy copies of Luzmelt's two CDs as well as the LIX. mini-album, and I already knew Luzmelt was awesome, but LIX. is freaking amazing too. ._____. They really need to release more stuff soon so I can hear more. They also need to come to the US because their vocalist is so pretty. *death* Um, and also, Suicide Ali's next maxi single is coming out on my birthday. How perfect is that? :B And next month the Variable Messiah best collection comes out and I need that too and and and
...Didn't I say I was gonna stop fangirling? Wait, no I didn't. SUICIDE ALIIIIIII COME BAAAAAAAAACK or even better, TAKE ME WITH YOOOUUUUUU
Ok, now I'm done.

listening to: Becky - Suki Dakara
No, not me... there's actually a Japanese singer named Becky. And she's adorable. ;_;
...On the subject, I actually got a message at my mixi account last week from some Japanese guy asking if I was "the real Becky." Which made me wonder if he bothered to look at ANY part of my profile there, because I think it's pretty glaringly obvious that I'm not. The name is about all we have in common. >.> Heh, that was a new one, though.
Things are starting to gear up for Suicide Ali's appearance at Tekkoshocon next month... and barely a month before the event, it was confirmed that an even younger V-kei band, Luzmelt, will be coming with them. They just debuted last month, in fact... though Kiwamu's been promoting the crap out of them since January. I have a lot of hope for them because the vocalist is NoA, who was a support guitarist for BLOOD back around 2005 (though he's changed his stage name to Yuhma)... so in that sense it's exciting, but on the other hand... TWO bands at ONE con. With, as far as I'm aware, no more staff than we had the last time Suicide Ali was here, at Nekocon. We... are gonna diiiiie. Especially me, if I'm contracted to be the main translator for both of them as I suspect I am. *digs hole in ground, dives in, hides for a month*
This also means that I need to learn as much as I can about Luzmelt ASAP. Which would be much easier if I had their CD. And the LIX. CD too even though they have nothing to do with this but I still need it anyway. *cough* *pokes a certain Boss who usually sends me copies of all his pet bands' CDs whether I want them or not*
Ok... I have several dozen emails to reply to. Off I go again.

Nothing in particular to say... but when I started this encode of a TS format video file a couple hours ago I didn't expect it to require ten hours to complete, so I needed something easy on memory consumption to keep me occupied until I figure out what non-computer activity (GASP, you mean those still exist?) to absorb myself in until bedtime.
Probably should mention that I ended up not going to see GPKISM earlier this month. I planned to, but then the day before I left, that insane blizzard pummeled the entire eastern half of the country... and yeah, I've already had my fun driving to Chicago and back in a blizzard once in my life. Conditions were even worse this time - so bad that GPKISM had to cancel one of the shows on their tour - so yeah, um, no. Not that I'm not loving all this snow, but I do have some degree of common sense. When people are digging themselves out of their houses and airports are closing, it's not the time to drive across two states.
Hoping I'll be able to buy the LIX., Luzmelt, and Variable Messiah CDs from the Tainted Reality booth at Tekkoshocon (Suicide Ali's next US gig) in April. The first round of Luzmelt CDs has already sold out once and Boss had to get more printed. :\ They all promise to be made of so much awesome...

feeling: calmer...
listening to: Earth Wind & Fire - Fantasy
So I've been in a really, really foul mood for the past several days. For a few reasons, none of which are really justifiable, I'm sure, but my nephew keeping me awake for hours this morning with his constant screaming and thundering around the house was sort of the straw that broke the camel's back. By the time I gave up and dragged myself out of bed, he was lucky I didn't start slapping him around or at least snapping all his toys in half or something. I don't think I've been in such a bad mood in years.
It had been building for the past week or so, combined with little annoyances like stuff coming up and stopping me in my tracks just when I finally feel mellow and motivated enough to catch up on the stuff I've been avoiding all week. So today I sort of just said screw it all and holed up in my room all day, hiding from the world and watching J-drama and Tokyo Friend Park episodes. Been watching them here and there throughout the week, really, but sort of let it culminate today until evening rolled around and I finally, finally felt a bit less homicidal.
Anyway, my point (if there is such a thing) is that I just finished watching this latest drama today, and by the time it reached the end and all the pieces to the puzzle were finally in place, I realized that I had figured them all out right from the start. O_o Everything from the major storylines in the plot to little details about people's identities and histories, etc. I think there were only about two details that sort of surprised me, but they were relatively minor. Beginning to wonder if I'm getting too used to dramas or something... how depressing...
Of course, it could be said that this was a pretty predictable series anyway. All the clues were plainly given... connecting them wasn't hard. And a lot of the overall plot was driven by legal processes and stuff, which are about as surprising and spontaneous as... um... something that's very not surprising or spontaneous. *is not creative*
I dunno. I guess it sort of made me wonder if they don't make J-dramas like they used to, or if I'm just getting too used to them. I became hooked on J-dramas in the first place because the first few I saw were so different from everything I've seen on American TV, and because there were always twists and turns that kept me guessing. Of course, I went through much of 2009 without watching any dramas at all... maybe I just haven't found the newest good ones yet. Lord knows there are still dozens more series I still want to see. Finally having a 1TB external drive should help rectify that problem, though. *pets it*
Oh, in unrelated news... remember when I mentioned in my last post that I got Spore, Sims 2 Double Deluxe, and the Sims 2 Pets expansion for Christmas? I believe I neglected to mention at the time that I'd been waiting for, like, two years to get them. Well, soon as I had enough space cleared on my main HD to install them, I was promptly and harshly reminded that this computer, awesome as it is, is not a gaming computer. The graphics chip can barely handle the base Sims 2 game and doesn't even try to run with the Pets expansion installed... and Spore is newer and bigger and faster than both of those games, so I know better than to even attempt it. So I guess my long wait is destined to drag out even longer. -__-
Ok, getting kinda tired, so I think I'll watch one more episode of something and then try to sleep...
