Spring in Japan, part 1
Apr. 18th, 2009 10:09 pmSo I went to Japan.
I've been holding off from posting more than one-offs because I wanted to talk about the awesomest vacation of my life first, but I'm not sure what to say now! Maybe just that I had a wonderful time with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
utenatai, fanartist and elhermano, who was as cool as advertised. I'm not sorry I spent all that money and got laid off halfway through--I'm glad, because who knows when I'd have the next chance?
In some ways, Japan is nothing like what anime prepares you for. In others, it's exactly the same. My first bleary-eyed impression on the train from Narita to Tokyo was "the landscape looks just like Katamari Damacy."
I took a ton of pictures, so I'm gonna break the trip recap into a few posts. The italicized commentary is from a mini-trip log I kept for the first half of the trip. Kinda gave up after that due to busy-ness (or possibly being laid off and not wanting to write that.) Took enough pictures to make up for it, though.
So! Let's get this party started.
( Day 1: Plane )
( Day 1.5: Katsutaro )

But I had to spread it further because it makes me laugh/cringe in horror every time I look at it:
My God, that poor fucking dog.

I LOVE MY DIGITAL CAMERA
Jul. 3rd, 2004 11:43 pmToday I took my last few paychecks and basically threw them to the wind--that is, I bought a digital camera (and a Rewards membership, and a good-sized memory card) from Best Buy. This camera, to be specific. IT'S SO SHINY. <3 <3 <3 Not much to photograph at this hour, but I also got a haircut today, so I decided to show it off. The stylist used a flat iron; my hair hasn't been this straight since, oh, second grade. I like it! So does Dad--he kept saying how good he thought it looked, and he's not normally one to comment much on hair changes, so I felt all speshul. So here are some digital pictures of my shiny straight hair and my new room.

Moo. I'm a sheep.
Apr. 26th, 2004 12:36 amI finally added something to my DeviantArt account, which I only created in the first place so I could snark on a silly bint. Just two pictures there now, but I'd like to add some more that aren't scanned yet. And OMG I WANT A DIGITAL CAMERA SO MUCH *TEAR*.
And...damn, I got my first comment. That was fast. Does DA have a Just In page or sth? Have no explored enough yet to know. Hmm.

This week's photo assignment
Oct. 17th, 2003 01:43 pmWe were instructed to do a propaganda shot and add whatever text and such that we needed. In other words, pick a cause we cared about and do something persuasive with it. I cared about working on my final photograph project, so I worked on that all weekend and didn't get to this assignment until I got back to school. Outside the art building, there's this gigantic "sculpture" which is basically just thousands of pop cans in a chicken wire frame that somewhat resembles a pop can itself. It looks stupid. I decided to honor the "sculptor" of the piece by taking a picture of it and using it to further the wonderful cause of ( recycling. )
Damn but I'm cute

...in this pic. *g* Hey, I'll be arrogant if I want to, it is a very rare thing when I have a cute picture of myself. I'm just not that photogenic. A double chin always crops out of nowhere and I know damn well I don't have one in real life.
Anyways, I got a bunch of really cute pictures back yesterday and I felt like scanning and sharing them. Some date back to the end of last school year, but most are from this one.
