I'll TRY my best to post a chibi review on the 4th before leaving, but don't bet any money on that. I WILL take tons of pictures and hope to get a real loot of autographs.
If I can't make it on the 4th, you'll hear from me on the 6th!

There will be pics and other boring stuff about a gaijin in Japan you can read on every average travel blog (why should I lie and promise extraordinary literary content? Just my occasional wit and horrible puns).
This is mainly for my IRL friends and parents, who want to know how their boo is doing in Japanland. Sure, I hope my Flist will also enjoy this, so by all means react, point me to places I should go, request pics etc.
I hope this isn't going to be too boring for those who come here for the anime reviews, but those who enjoy my slices-of-life posts and merchandise posts might find something to their liking here.
As of now I don't really have a clue when/where/how I'll access free internet in Japan, so I can't promise MSN convos, but I'll do my best to reply to your comments.
I will probably not be able to read my Flist AT ALL. Please don't take it personally and link me to anything you think I have to see.
Everything will be tagged "*japan", so you can also bookmark that to get all the updates.

1) This post is a little delayed because I was busy watching the S1 boxset of Dark Angel (yeah, a century late to the party etc.) S2 boxset only arrives next month, I'll have to see this after Japan. Damn, I'm liking it, even though it's repetitive and I think Micheal Weatherly and Jensen Ackles look waaaay better now that they're older (damn not the age thing again). The worst part is the perspective of being left with an open end. Pffffffffft. As if KyleXY wasn't already bad enough, now I do this to myself. And I plan to watch the last seasons of Dirty Sexy Money and Pushing Daisies too and you know they had the same fate. OTL
2) Uni results are out, I passed =) There is no smiley big enough to express the amount of joy I experience when thinking that never ever again I'll have to touch history.
3) A few pics from my holiday. The unexpected kind of. Well not if you know my addictions of course ;)
( clicky clicky camera )
See you soon, I still have lots of things to post before leaving.

Going to the usual ghost villa (our holiday house on the Belgian coast, for the newer friends amongst you who didn't know that yet)
I don't know what I'll do first, catching up on series boxsets, spring animes or sleep. Probably all of them. And plan Japan trip a little closer.
( because some asked last year... )
Will most certainly not find any place with internet access. I'll take my chibi laptop with me in case they've discovered hot spots by now over there, but I'm not counting on it. So consider me offline until the 28th.
Take care~

The weight is no issue, but the huge-ass size of those boxes definitely is. Leaving the box behind? Painful decision *person who's kept every single figure box so far*
And if I'm going to send them back, I might as well order them online. What's the point in getting your stuff cheap from Mandarake if I must pay for expensive shipping?

OKAY I ADMIT IT, I MIGHT HAVE A SLIGHT OBSESSION WITH SHOES
But they're all my babies and I love them with equal Imelda passion.
And I'm sorry to disappoint all those who thought I owned a huge dressing only for my shoes. I wish.
And that was AFTER I gave away those which hurt my feet too much or have been worn out.
That's also only summer's stuff. Winter boots etc. are hibernating in their boxes in the cellar: So yeah that means this is about half my collection. Flip flops and slippers do not count and have therefore not been included.
( Close up... )
One day I'll have Louboutins too. Like these ones. Because "every woman should have worn Louboutins at least once in her life". Can't remember who said that, but she's my new fashion guru.

I'M GOING TO JAPANLAND FOR THE WHOLE MONTH OF JULY!!!
Uh yeah, leaving the 4th of July. That's why I can only attend Japan Expo the 3rd ;_; Bad timing, bad timing.
And before you ask, it's because I've enroled in a language school to finally beef up (what's left of) my poor Japanese.
ITT: Suggestions where to go/what to see as well as insulting & throwing foul sushi at me out of jealousy xDDD

exhausted
(Guess that's why it's called a SEMI hiatus. But I did well in the beginning)
I finally have my Japan Expo ticket!!
Timing's good because I was going to Paris that weekend anyway (my plane boards from Paris on the 4th), meaning I already have accommodation and everything (hotel's in 5 mins walking distance from airport and JE!).
Timing's bad because the same WE 2 other major events are held in Paris: United by Kathy Guetta and the Britney Circus tour. Place's gonna be crowded as hell. But then again what wouldn't you bear to be able to see CLAMP and tell them they broke my heart with the latest TRC chapter?
Just a formality, but is anyone from my Flist going? Maybe I missed that and in case you went, I'd love to meet up. Otherwise I'll take my DS and a book and mentally prepare to queue for 10 hours...

Almost done with my finals. Just aced English Politics by basing my essay (50% of my total marks) on how Tony Eden's fail!conspiracy in Suez made James Bond booksales skyrocket (i.e.: Britain needed a hero who did take no shit from America and made
Now your mission, should you chose to accept it, is to figure out why in Haruhi's name they made POLITICS a compulsory subject for poor me who just wanted to study literature and pretty poets. Fushigi mystery.
NB: You needn't worry, I won't report about all my exams just the lulzy ones. I feel slightly RONERY alone here waiting for it to be over I'm feeling chatty.

Setting: After European History exam,
GirlA: Damn, I couldn't think of a proper example for 19th century civil wars ;A;
GirlB: HOW COULD YOU!! American Secession war of course, 1861-1865, IT WAS IN WOLVERINE!
....
In GirlA's defense, the movie didn't put a date on the wars. Testing your military uniform savy. Uniform-dork here obviously knew it immediately.
Apropos, I noticed many were puzzled by the Wolverine OP and didn't recognize the American civil war. You can't really blame us though, all we get here is EUROPEAN history. This is how much we know about America;
1492: Discovery of America. Prior to this, it didn't exist.
Somewhen: It becomes English colony
1773: ROW ROW FIGHT DA POWER the taxes, and they have a mad tea party in Boston
Then we send fancy-pants Lafayette over to save the day. As a thank you they solve our clusterfuck in 1945.
2001: Apocalypse now.
2009: Yes we can.
...
How did you like my potted history of America?
I almost expected someone to mention Hetalia. But nay. And I did mention the Secession war (not the mutants tho D: ). And Doomsday clock (hur hur Watchmen). I always get bonus marks for mentionning stuff like that (and I bloody need them bonus; as I don't get many marks on the rest^^;;) Overall, I think I did quite well.
One more reason to reward myself with a second viewing of XMOW after the finals. Snikt!

It's no secret that I have always found those "Got Milk?" add lolarious (not to mention my doubts about their actual effectiveness). But this, THIS!!! Wolverine aka Scruffy McGruff, who "slices and dices for a living" is the latest spokesperson to increase milk sales? That's what you get from having a PG-13 movie, if it had been R-rated, he'd be advertising (australian) beer.
Yes, this (admittedly older) pic was a good enough reason for me to sneak out of hiatus and make this icon after 9000 hours in MS paint.
Note to self: Catch up with "Astonishing X-Men" after exams. Thank you F!S.

(SEMI-) HIATUS
>>Now - 14th of June
>>Now - 14th of June
Meaning:
-No uploads whatsoever
-Considerably less to absolutely no commenting on your posts/entries (so please don't be offended)
-Very cranky mood if you catch me on MSN/Twitter, but you may try
-If you add me now, your application will have to wait to be considered (wow that sounded so official)
Reason:
Fucking finals. And those finals really mean I can't fail them, because they're my FINAL chance to successfully complete this year @uni.
So I better get working, and stop procrastinating. It's not like I have a whole semester to catch up in less than a week, no absolutely not.

Updates
Next TRC: June 3rd
Next Holic: June 29th(!!!)
Going sort of quickly here, since I'm super-busy with being ZETSUBOUSHITA over my upcoming finals.
Oh and just so you know I'll be on hiatus from now on, you might have to wait a while for the new chapters.
...Actually I wanted to quit completely from uploading, but since this might be the last volume, it'd feel odd not to finish things D: Don't worry, you'll get your last chapters, but might will be with some delay.

Sneaked out of sort-of-hiatus to go watch this. What should I say, it was so-so? I wouldn't say it was disappointing, but somehow I wasn't as enthralled as I expected to be. Sure, it was solid entertainment, had nice special-effects, what if?science (similar to what I like about Fringe so much) and a BEAUTIFUL soundtrack (Hans Zimmer oblige. Go
( I noted some differences with the book, for those who are interested. )
Were my expectations too high? Was I too high on my recent Hugh Jackman trip? I have no idea. Maybe I was just with the wrong person (she's the ultimate Tom Hanks fangirl, but god forbid I say I prefer Hugh (she ranted all the way back how fug he looks with a beard, how silly super-hero movies are and that I should grow up etc etc. I wanted to open the door and throw her out of the car. I don't ask anyone to have the same taste, but I respect everyone else's so I expect the same tolerance for mine. And come on, they're ACTORS we're discussing, there's no need to treat this as srs bzns. Chill.)

I'm afraid that's where CLAMP's contribution ends. But those were damn nice colorpages...
Other goodies:
Postcards [set1] [set2].
The shitajiki is K-ON! on both sides.
It also comes with the 4th (and last?) Celestial Mission Report.

Misc CLAMP:

Not photographing Kobato. as I'm sure it'll be scanned properly ASAP.
NT also comes with a loot of furokus, the funniest being of course the DIY tissue box with Alphonse (I'm contemplating making it, as I'm currently quite sick and could need the tissues *sniff* )
It also comes with an FMA Brohood shitajiki and this
which I mistook for the up-teenth G00 guidebook, but NO!
You need to unfold it and it become this:
[Fullsize]
(I placed the shitajiki next to it so you can have an idea how HUGE it is! I had no idea!)
Must now proceed to get some free space on my walls to display this one.
And my newly-bought Wolverine posters. Why yes I bought the 4 filmposters. And I'll proudly display those too. No I don't believe in growing up.
