Happy birthday gokumew2~
Wow, bid for Onmyou Taisenki Seiryuu Zero Drive went up to $45, doubt anyone else is going to bid...? XD;

I made a big pot of soup concoction with tofu, small bits of pork (mostly leftovers from another dish), white lettuce, some kind of frozen Korean vegetable wonton, and a few eggs, with some touches of hotpot sauce and chicken broth... and it tasted like heavennnnnnn XD; Soooo good. Lasted me about three meals hahaha.

I'm very saddened about the cancelling for the Digimon Memorial book and what has me concerned is that HMV and 1999 don't seem to have done anything about it yet. Sigh, what a bad end to Digimon's 10th anniversary .______.; Total flop. I really hope they haven't given up!! I DEMAND TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS. Something tells me CDJapan just lost patience and decided to cancel orders because they didn't want to set a delay date again, which ticks me off because I didn't get to lock the better yen rate for it. I paid instantly for it back in June when the yen rate was still above 100, and now they've refunded it... *hits publishers* They can't just put out adverts like this then not follow through 8|

In the meanwhile, I've got a different order coming from CDJapan that I hope arrives sometime next week. And an AmazonJapan order shipping out Nov 4 to my lovelylovelylovelyproxy Lea you are such a lifesaver <3 Gah, EMS shipping from Japan is so ridiculous these days. One of the readings for my MPA program covered why the USPS is made out of awesomesticks in both price and speed, and it's mostly thanks to profits from stamps and stamp collectors. Now if only healthcare in the country were that awesome too. :|

More Inazuma Eleven fanart~~
Ahh, need the HDTV raws after ep 20~~ Where are they ToT~

Adding to the half-assed blogs clogging up the domain along with Majinken! (shhhh), here's one I'm starting on BL stuff! 8D~ http://fujoshi.pmsinfirm.org But really it's just to help me keep track because I'm starting to lose track of what's what >_>; ...

I ended up ordering Seven Days from Amazon Japan too ♥ I've been hoping to expand my BL manga collection beyond just hordes of doujinshi and G-Senjou no Neko... and the Gravitation manga I'm selling off XD

The rest is x-posted from digimon and digimon_japan:
I feel like sharing some mixes of good 'ol Digimon songs I've found, mostly from this blog. You can get hordes of other anime/jpop songs/remixes there too~

I'm also wondering if anyone who had preordered Digimon Memorial books from 1999 or HMV Japan have gotten their books shipped yet? The release dates are all scattered and CDJapan lists September 2, while the other sites list earlier dates.

*edit Sep1* Release date has been pushed back to the end of October XD;

Reminder:
Ship out mizzy2k's order ♥

uh, my Digimon anniversary image is going to be late (hopefully I can finish it before the end of the month though!), but in the meantime...

ODAIBA MEMORIAL: THESE MUSIC VIDEOS ARE THE WIN

So it turns out I have a little bit of internet access on the anni day after all :D It's just REALLY slow though, and I've been out in Taiwan this whole time, so I still can't celebrate it the way I'd been hoping to ^^;;;;

Well.

That's what the REST OF THE MONTH IS FOR 83

Oooooooooooookay, so that 1000 yen auction I won came out to total $103.25 after shipping and fees .............
People who said they wanted to buy a Drive pleeeease buy them T___T;
Other than that, it's soooo nice to hold Yakumo's Drive. :)

Never thought I could max out 198 icons, but I did. I gave in and made a colored icon from a doujin. I haven't made doujin icons in forever~ I COULDN'T RESIST...

BECAUSE KOGENTA'S CUTEST OUTFIT WAS WHEN HE WAS WITH THE OLD GUY MONJU WOoooooo.

Looks really bad with my dull green layout, but eh XD

Wizzywig is selling Toei-licensed Digimon Data Squad shirts~~~ (why is the Lalamon one more expensive? O.o)
I want to get the Gaomon one, although I don't want to pay the shipping for it... xDDD;;; Maybe I can stop by the actual store sometime later this year... or maybe hopefully at Youmacon!!! I really want to go this year (or I might just save up for a possible Otakon next year since I'm pretty bummed I can't go this year with all the Digimon cosplay!!).

Working on a matsuri pic, probably for the contest in the DA club and also duo-function as a complementary piece for the Cycle sequel... which has not had much progress except that I dumped the DATS mission for a different idea~ Hoping I can finish the art piece before I leave next week! The sequel itself... errrrrr.

I have to admit, I've been playing a lot of Tales of Rebirth (PSP port) lately. The reviews are right on D8. I haven't played any of the non-handheld Tales games yet but this one's been my favorite (to play) as of yet. The things I do have to complain about this, as well as all of the Tales games I've played in general, is backtracking to old cities over and over and over and over again alllllll the time for a singleconversationeventit'sannoying AND THERE'S NO ESCAPE ROPE THINGAMER to quickly get out of long dungeons. Yeah.

Anyway, I also really like this game for having lots of Digimon seiyuu (WarGreymon, Vajramon, Chuumon, Ken, Jyou/Grani/Neemon/Kurata/toomanyDigimonroles, Sora, Rhythm, yes lots of random connections... XD There are even more). And the best moments for me so far were when Veigue Saves Claire and SHAORUNE...... cute Paku Romi with FLAMMIE ABILITIES <3 ~ omg, every good fantasy RPG requires a Flammie. <3 ~

oh yeah, and Kikuchi Masami plays a hot troll. Well, troll in the mental sense. I want to make an icon out of him with the successful troll is successful... one without a typo that makes it kind of... not successful. I mean he seriously trolled to the bitter end. Successful troll.

Got this one off someone's sig on Devart... XD

Don't mind the excessive emotes, just having fun (｡◕‿‿◕｡)
Ahaha, I asked yesasia's customer service if they would put the x-evo soundtrack in stock and they did XD~~~ w00t, now I get free shipping and Gintama chibi figure to go with it xD; $45.50, beats the $50 with the cheapest shipping from CDJapan, plus Gintamaaaaa omake (￣▽￣)

Digimon 10th Anniversary Maxi single
Digital Monster X-Evolution Original Soundtrack
FREE INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING FTW

I am however still counting on CDJapan for the Digimon Series Memorial Book Digimon Animation Chronicle.

And ShoppingMallJapan has shipped the auction at the top of the sales post (calling it the Onmyou Taisenki auction because that's the best part of it ⌒◇⌒), but I've yet to find out the total for the (killer) price of shipping and fees. Because of the weight and SIZE especially, I won't be surprised if it gets above $50 just for shipping/fees. ಠ_ಠ Serious Drive buyers better be serious. ಠ_ಠ

Baw, I should start packing for Taiwan. But Lina loves my lap... ⓜⓔⓞⓦ

[anime]
I finished Tales of the Abyss anime a short while back. ABOUT TIEM. Don't have a PS2 (want a modded one some day for sure), but I have access to Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2 to play around with their characters in-game, and it's still funfunfunfun and Luke is such an uke in it orz

I'm thinking of marathoning the rest of Soul Eater on the way to Taiwan (12 eps to go) and I have tidbits of other stuff to catch up with as well. Basara, Higashi no Eden, Tears to Tiara... mal.net list is useful (and some lamer decided to troll disapprove most of our releases at ryuu_rogue (╬ ಠ益ಠ)).
Gintama and Chi's Sweet Home are totally the only two things I really keep up with lately. ㄟ㋛ㄏ

[gaming]
Also finishing up Gyakuten Kenji (EDGEWORTH~~~~) and probably moving onto the random RPGs I mentioned earlier. Or maybe back to Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, but I don't actually find it all that fun for some reason ._.;
