  • Macross on my mind

    Forget about the summer jobs I planned to get. When there's only a month (and a half) left of summer, there's nothing better to do than laze around at home and put (unnecessary) strain on my eyes while watching shows and playing MMO games. My return to nerddom...

    I swear, I can't remember the last time I went out of my own house before today. Well, that's exaggerating it... cause I still go out to eat and even went to Great America today... okay, now that I ACTUALLY THINK about it, I went out a lot last week xD and even went down to Irvine to visit two weeks ago :D and also went to Reno the week before that! haha!


    Pokemon prizes at Great America, the shady motel I stayed at near Irvine, prizes at the ring toss at Circus Circus/Reno

    Last week I did a lot of shopping trying to buy this "satin blue bubble dress" I wanted to wear for my mom's friend's daughter's wedding banquet that happened last Saturday. But I couldn't find it on such short notice, so I ended up wearing the same green dress I wore to Jessica's wedding dinner back in June. Shame that I couldn't find the blue dress, but of course, I had to try on some other dresses while shopping :D however, none of them were suitable for the wedding dinner... because: (excuse my dressing room headless-self-body-portraits, HAha)


    1) waaay to short for normal wear, totally a clubbing dress though, even comes with a belt!
    2) cute for a day outing, not for the dinner
    3) made me look too old >< lol but it had a nice mature feeling to it!
     
    I've pretty much gone through another k-drama/j-drama/movies phase, they're so addicting! Checked out:
    - Before and After: Plastic Surgery (k)
    - Fantasy Couple (k)
    - Himitsu no Hanazono (j)
    - Zettai Kareshi (j)
    - Shinigami no Ballad (j)
    - Flower Boys (k)
    - Voices of a Distant Star (j)
    - The Promised Place of our Early Days (j)
    - She and Her Cat (j)
    the last three are SHINKAI works I looked up after coming across his name on a page I was looking at for the movie, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. Which I HAVE to rewatch sometime.

    I've shed many tears because of all those...of course they're hilarious to watch as well.

    So being done with the live-action stuff, I thought I should finish watching the anime series that my friend gave me earlier in the year. I had finished Clannad, and Kanon, and the first episode of Macross Frontier. But I'm so totally into Macross right now! When will I be able to watch episode 20??!! Ahaha, the songs are really catchy! plus Alto is tooooootally lovable!


    Alto-hime's famous scene! well done, animators xD

    But if I were to cosplay, I'd pick Ranka :P It'd be so fun to be her character >< or even all three of them! Alto, Ranka, and Sheryl!!!! looo~~~oove~~ why did ep19 have to end with such an emotional cliffhanger?? >0<

    Love triangles are so tiring on the tear ducts.


    no more episodes, so I turned to surfing the net and found:
    http://mainichi.jp/enta/mantan/graph/anime/20080727/index.html
    "The Macross Frontier Superlive was last night, and mainichi.jp has pictures and a report from the event. Pretty much all the songs from the series were performed, including Kanno Yoko herself playing a piano/ballad version of Triangular to Sakamoto Maaya’s singing. Nakajima Megumi and May’n finished the concert by performing the new OP Lion together."

    OMG http://randomc.animeblogger.net/2008/07/21/ranka-lee-starring-nakajima-megumi-seikan-hikou-live/ DECULTURE!!!!!!

    whoooa and I just stumbled on another video! It's Gurren Lagann!! (http://randomc.animeblogger.net/2008/06/15/the-daily-dose-9/)
    Gurren Lagann Parallel Works - Rap is a Man's Soul



    cuuuute! Even Viral gets a happy ending :]

    Wah! stumbling across more Macross (mostly Alto) goodness!

    Brera and Alto = <3, but here Ranka is not so <3 as usual :/

    I feel dazed by your post.
    I watched Shinkai's Promised place of our early days   and it was good. I didn't know he had two other movies.
    The rap one was funny. I didn't know anime rapped.
    You have inspired me to cosplay. As what? I don't know yet. Too many people to choose from!
    I also have one more month of summer. I need to call you!
