I managed to get 2 more Twilight (read: Edward and Bella) wallpapers done before going back to school.

Hello everybody! (Hey, Dr. Nick) 

I come bearing (yet another) wallpaper in commemoration of L'Arc~en~Ciel's 15th Anniversary (not that I need an excuse to make L'Arc wallpapers ^^; ). 

( I blame this entirely on dream_berry.... )

I've been in an artists' block since DA deleted 25 of my deviations last month, but I finally got inspired thanks to dream_berry's fabulous scans and made two new wallpapers celebrating L'Arc~en~Ciel's 15 year anniversary.

I just finished making a new Yukki wallpaper. Enjoy.

I finally found some time to scan the sheet music for the Piano version of Cape of Storms [a girl at Hyde's Anaheim concert asked for it] from my Japanese Cinema music book (I still need to figure out what the other songs are).( more inside )

I decided to take a break from the various other projects that I'm working on and came up with a (surprise) Yukihiro wallpaper. (I've been feeling a little bad for leave Yuki and the guys [Tetsu and Ken] out).

Tah-dah!

HYDE Faith Tour @ the House of Blues in Anaheim, California

Well my sister and I didn’t arrive at the HOB till around 4:30 PM for our dinner reservation (we’ve been at AX for the entire weekend) and didn’t’ get into the actual line until around 5:30 PM. As some of the people at Tofu Records’ forums know I made a box (approximately 50) of dark chocolate gothic cross lollipops (which were decorated with gold cake powder and gold ribbon) to give out at the Anaheim concert. (Sadly, I ran out of time and couldn’t make as much of them as I wanted). So for the hour and a half that we were waiting in the line, I busted out my laptop and we watched the PVs of Countdown and Season’s Call as well as part of the Awake DVD. As usual the HOB security used the wand on us, checked bags (rather poorly), and asked if we had any cameras on us.

After we got in everyone swarmed towards the stage. Unfortunately I didn’t want to lose my great view of the stage (around the 10th row from the front on Hyde and Kaz’s side of the stage) so I didn’t seek out the gift table (which I later found out to be towards the exit of the venue) to deposit my fanbook page and Hyde’s special chocolate lollipop. The concert started a little late (8:10 PM) and the opening act came out on stage, Black List Club. They weren’t bad, I actually kinda liked them and after they played a set Hyde’s Roadies started setting up for Hyde. The funny thing was that every time the Roadies did something on stage the audience screamed and cheered; when Hyde finally got on the stage, the room bursted with cheers and screams.

During the concert Hyde played (note: I’m not 100% I got all the songs down and in order, my memories crap and I’m way too psyched to concentrate)

Jesus Christ (there’s at least 2 songs between Jesus Christ and Season’s Call)
Made in Heaven
Faith
It’s Sad
Season’s Call
Evergreen (dist.)
Perfect Moment
Sweet Vanilla
Instrumental break (just playing on the guitars I call this moment the “water passing song”, after about 5 girls fainted HOB staff started passing out water and HYDE and co. started playing)
Dolly
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
Hello
Midnight Celebration
Encore-
Countdown
Hideaway
Unexpected (dist.)

After playing for a bit Hyde talked to the audience, this is how it went (from what I can remember):

Hyde: Hello California!
(audience cheers)
Hyde: Are you having fun?!
(Audience shouts out “yes”)
Hyde: Me too!
Hyde: (In one of the best moments of the night) I’m happy to see me….(makes a face at this mistake as audience laughs)…see you! Are you happy to see me?!
(Audience cheers and shouts “yes”)

Also during the concert Hyde asked the audience is they would “get crazy with me” (Sweet Vanilla and Midnight Celebration [he said it more than once]) and “sing with me” (Unexpected) and when before he sang Season’s Call he asked if he could sing “a Japanese song.” (of course you can Hyde) About half way through the concert about 5 girls collapsed (two of them right in front of me) and were dragged out of the mosh pit (this is about the time when Hyde and co. started playing an instrumental break of sorts [which I affectionately refer to as the “water passing song” since the HOB staff started administering water to the audience]). To my surprise and glee Hyde played Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds and all the audience members really joined in (even a couple behind me that, from what I gather didn’t realize they were going to a Japanese artists’ concert). Unfortunately when Hyde got to Midnight Celebration he forgot the lyrics and accidentally smacked his head on his mic (in which he gave the audience an embarrassed smile and a Roadie came and fixed his mic).

I have to say this concert was absolutely amazing (and truly worthy of being my first J-Rock concert). I really had a blast, it definitely makes the dehydration, swollen ankles (from jumping up and down), sore back and arms (from my backpack and swinging my arms) worth it, and I really wish I could go to the other shows. Overall I have to say the best moments were the “I’m happy to see me” moment, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, the encore (everyone counting down in Countdown was awesome), the audience singing Hello, Unexpected sing-a-long, Hyde smirking in the direction of an male fan (said male fan screamed “Hyde you’re so sexy!”), and Hyde numerous tongue poses. Unfortunately there were about 5 people (from where I was standing) that took pictures :P but I knocked into one on purpose and screwed up her shot so that made it a little better.

Oh yeah, I found the gift table before I left and dropped off my fanbook page and Hyde’s lolly (which due to the heat in the venue was slightly melted on its tips ), so Hyde should be getting them. (yay!)

If there’s anything I’ve left out or need to correct please don’t hesitate to tell me (nicely please T-T ) I really want this to be as good as possible. 

Man has this been a hectic week (and its not even over). Well I just finished my Hyde fanbook page in time to mail it (I'm blaming it on Hyde's hair and my damn indecision!) and I finally found a wig for my L cosplay (although I have to reshape it a bit to get it L-ish [otherwise I look like a black-haired Selphie and that won't do]). Now all I need is to finish making my chocolate lollipops for the HYDE fans for Sunday's concert, figure out what question to ask Hyde, and pack my stuff.

Sigh, its going to be a busy weekend.

Freetar Hero just came out a few days ago and man am I hooked, so far I've got two Song files I've been working on [Tetsu's bass part for Shutting the Sky and Halo 2's Main Theme (Mjolnir Mix)], hopefully I can get them done and tested soon. I'm still trying to decide if I want to do multiple difficulties though :/

oh yeah eat that (http://www.duelinganalogs.com/?date=2006-05-17) Da Vinci Code.

I made a new wallpaper and this time its on Raito/Light of one of my favorite manga series Death Note. I've been meaning to do a wallpaper on this series for a while (especially with teh quote "absolute power corrupts absolutely") and I finally did it.

WARNING: Don't click to full view the wallpaper unless you want to be spoiled for Page 107 (Chapter 107) and the ending of Death Note.

I got tickets for HYDE's concert at the House of Blues in Anaheim on July 2nd. (Yes I'm ditching a day of AX) I'm so freakin' happy. (I was so depressed about not getting tickets for his SF concert but YES!!!)

Not even being stuck in the freezing rain with an umbrella or jacket (while wearing sandals) can get me down.

Woot, I've just finished Kingdom Hearts II in roughly 32 hours (the last save before the final fight says 31:40 so eh). Sadly, now that I've finished it I feel a little empty inside, but now I have to work on getting the secret ending.

For those of you who knew, this quarter I took at class on The Science of Superheroes and on the last day the LA Times came to write a report on the class and I actually got written in. Cool!

Yeah I made a new wallpaper today while hanging out at the library.

I'm proud if I do say so myself.

I finally got my LOST fan club kit and its totally awesome.

It comes with a t-shirt, boarding pass, trading card, Oceanic fan convention DVD, 4 lithographs, a frequent flyer card, a missing poster for Charlie, and Oceanic Flight bag. ^^ too cool. I also picked up the Awake Tour DVD yesterday but I'll be a good girl and I'll wait to open it after Christmas just in case someone got it for me for X-mas.

I know I haven't posted anything (aside from comments) that often, so as repentance I bring scans (YSI and PB).
( Read more... )

I know I haven't been really updating this all that often (read hardly) I promise that I'll try to be more active, atleast after my trip to Vegas (Dad got 2 free nights at the new Wynn hotel yay). Until then ciao!

Figures, the first night that I can get a decent nights sleep and its reasonably cool in the house at the same time I suffer from a bout of insomnia. I guess the cool thing is that I'm getting a buttload more done. Only one more ipod silouette and a few more wallpapers I haven't finished then I can start on the LJ, myspace, blogger, and Shezzyart layouts. (then my Halloween costume yay) 
In the mean time out of sheer boredom and lack of sleep...LINKS:

Hehehe ^^;
Actual Flying Star Wars models (blogger's note: FREAKIN' AWESOME)
For some reason I still haven't gotten bored of Happy Tree Friends (WARNING: don't watch if you are opposed to cartoon violence)
