Truth be told, I started on Monday but I was too damn tired and lazy to blog about it. I'm trying to re-adjust my body to sleeping semi-early and waking up just as early. It's kinda... tough considering I took a year off of all that crap. I have to tell you, when I had to write in English class, my hand cramped so bad! I haven't put a pencil to paper in a year and it was obvious from me trying to flex out the cramping in my hand. But other than that, school is kind of a breeze.
So far, at least.
My Art Appreciation class has to be the most boring class in the entire world. I seriously just sit there, listen to the teacher, look at the photos on the screen and doodle. Then, every few days we have a take home test which is awesome for me because I doubt I'm going to buy the book for that class. I'll probably just use the one in the library for those tests. It's even better because Miss Plume is also in this class so I don't instah-crash the minute I step in. She keeps me awake so that's her job :3
Other than that, I've bought my sisters birthday gift and it's on it's way here! Ms. Plume's birthday is on the 9th, so I hope it comes sometime soon. Well, not so soon as I don't plan to give it to her for a while. My mother is out of town on the road with Mr. Driver, we'll call him, and she is going to miss both mine and my sister's birthday. She's said that when she comes back she wants to celebrate them both by having one party 8D she might get a brinca brinca xD
For those of you who don't know what a brinca brinca is, it's a jumping balloon :D
You're never to old to throw yourself around in an inflated fun-box <3
So, when that day comes I'll give her her gift. But, I still feel bad that her birthday is going to be practically missed so I plan to make her her favorite birthday cake early Wednesday morning before going to school. ^^ a little something to keep the festive idea around.
Something else coming in the mail that should be here soon is my lip-to-ear chain. I've finally pierced my lip....a balenophbic has pierced her lip! It...didn't hurt o.o! It just sort of felt heavy but there was no real pain xD. Regardless I'll never get another piercing but I do admit that it wasn't such a bad experience. Next, in a few months, I plan to finally get my IX tattoo o: also, will never get another tattoo after that one :3.
My camera is ALSO coming in via mail. As you can see, I order a lot of shit online. It's easier, to me, to get what you want that way. Once it comes in, I'll start vlogging once a week...woo x3
I'm still really camera shy so I'll have to...get over that somehow ^^

Now, for something...I've skipped like two weeks worth of...
Otaku Nation:
First, Aya Sugimoto was casted as Maria S. Cranberry in the upcoming 3-D Kamen Rider movie. …
3-D KAMEN RIDER?!
Kfldklfjdakhs! <---word vomit.
Every time I hear someone say, “3-D Kamen Rider” I get all giddy and confused. I'm excited yet unsure if this is a good idea :3 we'll see when the movie comes out ^^
Takanori Jinnai annnnd Kato have recently done dubbing for the latest Pokemon movie that is to be released on July 20th. It feels like Pokemon will never die with all its shows, games, movies and such o: not that it's a bad thing :3
Tottori, Japan was recently picked as the location for the filming of “Iris” season 2, I would come to guess? It is a Korean Drama that starred Lee Byung Heon, Jeong Jun-Ho and Kim Tae-Hee. This is good for tourism for the prefecture, to get a little lime light like previous Akita did.
Lastly for today, Panasonic made a 3-D inovation center in Japan that will cater to a big selection of 3-D needs. They foresee that 3-D is going to be a prominent aspect in our future lives and it may be. O: I can just imagine 3-d simulated drivers' tests. o.o!
Let it be known that I absolutely hate, hate, hate, HATE, HATE, HATE yard work and cleaning D< more than Kefka hates YOU!
Let's just say that I had to do a bit of both and in the end, I am in a very... bad mood because of it. Floating grass is not my idea of a good Monday...

This morning, I woke up from a very strange dream. I dreamt that I was back in High School and for some reason Bob Barker was coming to give a speech or something. For the life of me I could not get anyone to tell me WHY Bob Barker was coming to that school but everyone seemed excited so I just brushed it off. I woke up laughing, making my mom give me the usual "WTF?" look :3
I watched Moon Child again today. Regardless of how dauntingly long this movie is, I still love it. If you haven't seen it, I recomend it especially if you're a fan of either Gackt or Hyde. The story is very good and there is plenty of fan service ^^ I'm glad my sister was able to get it with TLA's release of Danger After Dark.
The previous was the live that Gackt, Lee, Taro and Zeny did to promote the Thearetical Release back in 2003. Hyde was meant to sing the song with Gackt, but I do beleive he was on tour with L`Arc en Ciel at the time.

Now, I'd like to start something I've been thinking of doing for a while. At least once a week, I'll scourer the Japanese and American news for something that might be interesting for us Otaku. I'll call it Otaku Nation since a friend of my suggested this ^^
I'll start with something that took place LAST week but it was big enough for me to add for this week since it is the first installment.
On May 2nd, 1998, 松本 秀人 died of what some think was an accidental suicide. If you don't know who Hide is, I'll give you a quick run-through. Hide was the guitarist for X-Japan. He also did a few solo albums, one of which produced the hit Pink Spider while with "Hide with Spread Beaver. Needless to say, he was a Japanese Rock Icon that passed way before his time.
May 3rd, 2010, over 35,000 people gathered to pay their respects to his grave in Japan. The article can be found here.

Everyone by now should know that the Japanese have a lot of different tasting sweets and snacks. Apparently, I'm wrong when I say "everyone" because a group of reporters recently found out about the strange array of Kit-Kat flavors that the Japanese offer. They took it upon themselves to taste a few of them and give their opinions. I have to admit, I really would like to try a few of them, especially the Raspberry Passion fruit ^^ -- More can be found here.

Chiemi Hori was put into the Guinness Book of World Records for creating the worlds largest Onigiri ^^ with a tawara-gata shaped pedestool of 5,555 individual onigiri. Well, technically its more like the worlds most onigiri on one plate buuut it's still awesome!
What's not awesome is all the complaining about how it was a big waist of food. Get over it, damn D< pissing me off! Reading the news apparently makes me mad ._.;
On a more..."Okay?" note, Tsukioka Aya created a skirt that can turn into a disguise...what does it turn into? A Coca~Cola vending machine...-_-;
"It is just easier for Japanese to hide. Making a scene would be too embarrassing. These ideas might strike foreigners as far fetched, but in Japan, they can become reality."
American side, it is known that OCRemix is making a Final Fantasy IX compilation CD among others things. Kate Covington, known as katethegreat19 on YouTube is submitting a new piece that was recently released on her channel. It is a cover of the Cleyra Settlement theme.
I personally like it, as I like most of her work. What I like most about the video is that we get to finally see her playing the instruments. You can tell she's nervous but it feels good to see her at work ^^
Embeded just for you 8D

Well, that's it for this Monday!..er, Tuesday morning :3, I'm still considering this Monday though ^^
