Dim Sum to go!

So Anime Expo has finished yesterday. Me, Ka-chan, and Kiya did pretty well for Artist Alley this year. Now besides that, let's get to the photos. Note: These will be mainly photo shoot stuff. I got extremely sort of picky since I want to show the good ones. However, I just wish that we could redo the Legend of Korra photo shoot. There are some photos I want to redo...but this is just me being picky. ^^;; If we do a redo photo shoot, I want to do it at the Anime Club's Cosplay Picnic even though our Mako won't be there.

First Photoshoot: Sket Dance

Second Photo shoot: Legend of Korra.

Here's another song we listened to in Japanese class last month. There are two more songs I'm going to translate, and the next song will be a SMAP song. :Db Yes my Japanese 305 teacher is a SMAP fan, and she's not ashamed to say it.

「ひまわり」
作詞、作曲、歌手：福山雅治

( Kanji Lyrics )

( Romanji lyrics )

( English lyrics )

This one was a bit easier than my first one, but I like how I translated it. Click the title for a video of the original song. If you think it sounds familiar, it is because Ray Charles sang this song in English. (Note: I didn't put in the lyrics of the version he sang here. These are translated lyrics of the Japanese lyrics.)

「いとしのエリー」
作詞：桑田佳祐 (Kuwata Keisuke)
作曲：桑田佳祐 (Kuwata Keisuke)
歌手：サザンオールスターズ (The Southern All Stars)

Back from AX. Interesting time with its weird moments, but it was still fun. Didn't take a lot of pictures because of Vic Mignogna autograph line. Granted he is a nice guy (though some say he's a bit of a creeper), but his fuckin' fans reminded me why I hate craycray fangirls. :|

Now onto happier things...let's show some photos! 8D

( AX'11 Photos; Warning: Image Heavy )

 

 I'm really way too lazy to post up most of the photos from the D.C. trip. There's not a lot, but hey it's better than nothing I say. So here's the link to my FB album: www.facebook.com/album.php Enjoy.

 Here's part 2 of the photos:

So the "Justin Beiber" war has been put on hold for now. A lot of things happened within these few weeks. I've been following it out of pure boredom and it seemed entertaining to watch from the sidelines to watch this kid fail. I'm puttin' this rant in LJ cuts so it take up most of your Friends page.

If you do not know what this "war" (if you can call it one...) is about, I'll put this in a quick summary:

I know this probably isn't the best place to sell stuff like this (dA wont' let me sell the prints since they're copyrighted chars. 8|;; Understandable, but still it sucks), but hey I'm willing to give this a try. So I have extra prints from AX '10, and I'm willing to sell them. There's a limited quantity (2 - 5 prints) left so if you want to buy one just comment here. *shrugs* I doubt I will sell anything here, but like I said I'll never know unless I try.

All prints are $5 (not including shipping).

So here's Part 1 of the photos I took when I was in Paris (and one day in London). I seriously have over 200 photos to look through and choose for the blog. m(_ _;;;;m It makes me cry every time I think about it due to the shock that I took that much on one trip. I seriously didn't take that much when I was in China or in Italy...but alas I'm digressing. :D;;

This where the Eevee photo shoot starts. [I got really picky here on which photos to show XD; So if ya' want to see all of the photos from the photoshoot, half of it is on my Imageshack account while the other half is on my Photobucket account.]

This is probably my favorite thing out of the whole con...
( What is it? )

After that I headed off to my grandma's house to celebrate with family for 4th of July. We ate lunch and dinner together, and afterwards we did fireworks. I don't have any pictures since I was too lazy to get it out of the car. XD;; But all I have to say is that me, my cousins, and their friend were basically pyros that night. We put all of the small fireworks together to set off a big one. We also created a huge bonfire with the empty fireworks containers, the boxes, napkins, plates, and other flammable stuff we can find. It was a lot of fun.

I thought this year of AX was a lot of fun. Sure I didn't go to the panels, arcade, or any of the gatherings, but I still had fun because I was with my friends. Even though a lot of my stuff didn't get sold, I thought of it more as an experience than disappointment. I'm learnin' on what sells, what doesn't sell, and what I should do to make sure I can get profit before I actually start sellin' stuff. Now I sort of know what to do, and I hope that I can do better the next time I sell my artwork at an anime convention.
