my pink 3DS~

015
new pink fleece throw … not very thick, but definitely portable.

016
super lazy shot of my pearl cluster ring, bought on the Big Island in Hawaii

017
foldable nylon bag (it goes inside that grey pocket with the text)

018
poorly-lit shot of lazy Saku…

019
new pink (!!) bluetooth speakers~ (since my laptop speakers are not quite loud enough…)

020
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)

003
joysticky thing for the iPad

004
Umineko: Chiru~

005
Ornaments I still have not opened… XD (I kinda like how they look in that cylinder…)

006
my deco’d hip bag… I was using it to carry around my 3DS in the house to test out the pedometer XD

007
handmade 鮭(salmon) onigiri

008
Hello Kitty onigiri shaper… XD

009
this is a terrible shot but all I had with me was my phone… that orange glow by the building is the moon – it was so huge and gorgeous that night!

010
no, I still haven’t taken down my doll tree…

011
little card case…

012
measuring tape because I’m trying to organize my shelves and I need drawers or boxes XP

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~

125
Project Diva extend! love this series of rhythm games~ so much cute

126
shell lei from the hotel I stayed at on the big island in Hawaii

127
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

new solar powered battery pack… still charging up before testing~

122

starting to decorate my room for the christmas season…

111
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…

112
trying out my GPS……

113
okay, so it’s not very authentic Japanese, but chicken tempura maki are just so good I don’t even care :9

114
oh hey look, more rhythm game scoring! perfect clear of カレーのちライス with Yui on Hard~ plane rides, like power-outages, are good for concentration…

115
Volcano national park on the big island in Hawaii no active lava, though…

116
I love pictograph signs like these…

117
double rainbow!

118
Project Diva Extend is here! haven’t played much yet, though…

119
volcanoes~~~

120
peanut butter rice cripsies treats! not totally a failure… XD

101
and here begins the no-power saga. I lost it around 6pm this night, right as I was preparing the ingredients to make muffins… 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?

102
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
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…

104
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.

106
at Youmacon. Hello there, Canada.

107
my tumblr imouto illustrating a double orz pose with her teddy bear… (she was cosplaying Alice from Kamisama no memo-chou)

108
it’s me! well, me + 1000 cuteness as drawn by above imouto – so adorable! if only I really looked that cute…

109
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.

110
I had some small difficulties getting home, and this photo is celebrating my luggage’s belated return… it arrived the day after me.

next set of 10 coming tomorrow~

091
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

092
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
I apologize for this awful, awful quality photo. I was really lazy and phoning it in this time… 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….

094
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!

095
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…

096
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… (sorry!)

097
re-read all of Wind-up Bird Chronicles in approximately 24 hours before lending it so I could remember wtf happens in that book…

098
loot from 095′s mall trip – pink sweater and two sparkly necklaces

099
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.)

100
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.

078
on a plane going… ??

079
impressive that 70% of that pen is recycled material.. or at least that’s what I’d assume from that symbol, anyway.

080
curry sauce with nuggets! something you never see in the US…

081
I did not go into that museum. I liked the sign, though…

082
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…

084
Saku in her new kitty hoodie~~

085
Don’t I know it… (and the converse is also definitely true…)

086
Emi got a hdd upgrade! 1TB~ Saku was my assistant~

no 087 either…

088
Win7 really makes it easy to upgrade hdds… so pleased

089
My paper scheduler, which is really more of a record of events than anything else…

090
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.
