makeup brushes, on my cupcake towel~ (short story about that towel: I saw a pair of cupcake towels at Marshall’s, then sort of forgot about them. Later, I thought to myself “aww… I really should have bought those cute cupcake towels…” only to discover later that, in fact, I did buy them. Classic 天然ボケ right there for you.)

strangely-lit shot of my pink slightly-bigger-than-DD mannequin wearing a pink cardigan (it’s right next to my desk lamp, thus the strange shadow XD)

Another day, another year, another 365. (Yes, I am starting over. Things got busy at the end of the year so my picture taking dropped off…)

2011 definitely had the most change for me, of the past few years.

I feel like I finally have a life of my own now, and a future to look forward to.

I’m really grateful for my close friends who helped me through this year, particularly these last few months~ :nibaihato:

yep, I finally caved and am all caught up with Homestuck. If you don’t know anything about it, it’s this webcomic/webserial thing that uses a variety of different formats but mostly image + some text to tell an epic save-the-world type story revolving around four 13 year old kids. There’s way more to it than that, of course, but my summarizing skills are not so great XD The style is one that likes to poke fun at things, including itself, and it’s quite funny XD

of all the places to sit, you’d think the one that was totally covered with cold, hard metal things would be a cat’s least favorite choice. apparently not…

okay, so it’s not very authentic Japanese, but chicken tempura maki are just so good I don’t even care :9

oh hey look, more rhythm game scoring! perfect clear of カレーのちライス with Yui on Hard~ :uehato: plane rides, like power-outages, are good for concentration…

peanut butter rice cripsies treats! not totally a failure… XD

next block of 10! well, really nine because 105 is missing, but this is all you get. XP

101 of 365

and here begins the no-power saga. I lost it around 6pm this night, right as I was preparing the ingredients to make muffins… :bhdown: so, naturally, I played Project Diva. and totally perfect cleared two songs on Hard without even trying. (the other one was Yellow) +1 for my concentration skills?

we got a ridiculous amount of heavy wet snow, and the trees still looked like this, which is why tons of branches everywhere came down… and killed my power lines.

103 of 365
103
this tree in particular was quite… fun. it was leaning on the lines, and was so low UPS and the garbage truck couldn’t come down our street. creepy to drive under…

power outage day three! it was really starting to get old at this point…

no 105 because my life was just no power, Project Diva, darkness, and packing for Youmacon… but I could’ve sworn I took a pic for 105. sigh.

it’s me! well, me + 1000 cuteness as drawn by above imouto :nibaihato: – so adorable! if only I really looked that cute…

109 of 365

this is also me + imouto! but no faces because this is not a face-showing blog XP and no technically I did not take this picture, but I am in it and I apparently took no others that day SO I SAY IT COUNTS.

I had some small difficulties getting home, and this photo is celebrating my luggage’s belated return… it arrived the day after me. :sweat:

next set of 10 coming tomorrow~

It has been pointed out to me that it’s been nearly a month since my last 365 update… :><: fear not! I have still been taking pictures... for the most part. I'll do this update in 10-block chunks to save sanity.

vocab study for the GREs which I may or may not take soon. I’m having second thoughts about grad school stuff right now. vocab study is always good, though :wink:

久しぶりにdentist visit! my requisite tiny bottle of mouthwash, held by Saku~ it’s a bit out of scale for her, I think. unless it’s supposed to be some super value bottle or something…

093 of 365

I apologize for this awful, awful quality photo. I was really lazy and phoning it in this time… :skulldown: anyway, despite the poor lighting, I was trying to illustrate the GIANT bag of chips given to me to go with a much much smaller serving of dip….

two new scarves, bought at a mall in a random town/city/whatever that I’d never been to before. this day signifies my first more-than-single-exit drive on the highway! :hee:

095 of 365

another mall photo! but a mall I’m more familiar with, this time. food from a presumably Japanese place with a weird name. it’s good food, I’m just questioning what authenticity could be assigned to mall food…

digging out my kanji reference books for GT to borrow since I am theoretically teaching him Japanese although I’ve been kind of lax and unhelpful about it recently… :ng: (sorry!)

re-read all of Wind-up Bird Chronicles in approximately 24 hours before lending it so I could remember wtf happens in that book…

re-reading the Driver’s Manual for the fourth or fifth time before taking the road test. it’s interesting to note the changes over the years… (I’m probably the only person who’s read that thing more than once, minus the person who had to edit it.)

more FP cardigans! my color choices have been expanded… I now have white, pink, black and navy. I’d like to have a dark grey, but that doesn’t exist, and beige was out of stock…

okay, first update complete! I’ll do the rest now and schedule them 1x/day for the next couple days.

Quite a few missing in this batch, due to laziness or confusion… no 077, to start with, despite my thinking I had taken one.. :bhdown:

impressive that 70% of that pen is recycled material.. or at least that’s what I’d assume from that symbol, anyway.

I did not go into that museum. I liked the sign, though…

I like Mr. Shaver mascot here… he’s pretty universal in Europe, or so I’ve found. Finally snapped a pic of him XD

no 083 because… ??? I don’t remember…

My paper scheduler, which is really more of a record of events than anything else…

090 of 365

pink label maker… which needs 6 AAAs, and I do not have 6 AAAs right now. hm.

So, currently I’m 5 behind in 365 – that is, I missed five days. I’m thinking of taking some extra shots to make up for it… although that may not happen.
