Not the Glamour Shots I Had Hoped For

Yeah, so I wanted to some how incorporate pictures of Judge Magister Gabranth into my earlier post about my concert almost one week ago... (wow! It's just about Friday already again.  Awesome).

Unfortunately, I could find no way to write him in, so instead I'll just call this my photography post...the one where I use the macro lens to do stuff.

And FAIL!

Obsessions For Weeks: 5/11/08 - 6/02/08

Honey and Clover





H1's been upset by my love of the H and C but it's hilarious! Never you people mind it's about two love triangles amongst art students! I love that crazy ass Morita and that's good enough for me. Can't you just tell which one he is in this pic? Heh.

Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings



Who knew I'd buy and enjoy a strategy game? After the 1998/1999 debacle that was Final Fantasy Tactics, I swore I'd never be humilated on a battle field again!



And so the carnage is a daily ritual since I started playing. It's okay, I'm doing great so far...uh, great enough. Besides which, while everyone else loved them some Balthier, I loved me some Basch and I get to see him again even if it's near the end of the game. Awww, cutie Basch.

Obsessions for Week(s): 3/02/08 - 03/11/08

Crisis Core Limited Edition Japanese PSP Pack



The Japanese continue to hate on me. Do you see that eff? A tiny buster sword and a shoe box! A Shoe box!!!!



And of course, a beautifully designed PSP limited to 77,777 units and it features the love of my life for 10 years - Sephiroth. ::sigh:: All we get is a red PSP with Kratos. Once again, what the eff.

Vayne Solidor



I am not really obsessing over him in a good way, I'm more concerned by the state of his hair. He is my 2nd least fav. FF villain. Honestly, there was nothing cool about him and crimping your hair was so 80s. Tch.

Monster



An anime about a sociopath. So far so good.

Currently listening to: "Naked in the City" by Hot Hot Heat.

Huh

Raphael may have turned out a little too beautiful... not that he isn't good looking. I guess this fits his personality anyway.

Two Wacom 'sketchings' here, first with glasses and this is how I've always drawn him, with circular specs:



The second is how he looks before he puts on the glasses (I always assumed they were glued to his face but what do I know?):



Currently listening to: "The Extreme" by Nobuo Uematsu, from the Final Fantasy VIII soundtrack. I still curse the day that this game was made and still curse the fact that the music is the only great thing about it other than Zell.

Which reminds me, maybe I should go hunt down more marks in FFXII. Gilgamesh, here I come. For you to hand my ass to me.

This Day Might Turn Out Bad

You know it just may be a bad day when you wake up in the morning, after having missed work for 2.5 days due to a dentist appointment from hell and basement flooding, look in the mirror and realize your hair looks a lot like Vayne Solidor's...



::sigh::

Yeah, it's going to be a loooonngg day.

Things Observed This Week: 10/30 - 11/04

Or 2's observations and random thoughts this week:

1. Filene's Basement is always on a very high level of whatever building houses it.
2. Being under-dressed in cold weather makes people stupid, e.g. Pharrel.
3. My 25 Cents Trail Mix adventures this week have gone something like this -

Day 1: TONS of M&Ms (much to my dismay) and no raisins
Day 2: TONS of M&Ms (much to my dismay), four raisins including the mother of all humiliated grapes and a loss of two valuable cashews. The ONLY two cashes of the batch.
Day 3: A good mix of not too many M&Ms, lots of cashews, almonds and one raisin.

4. Monsters don't give you gil in FFXII?! WTF! They're going to force me to sell items! If there's two things I hate, it's selling items and monsters who are useless and don't give gil. I mean, honestly! Isn't it in the monsters' best interest to walk around loaded, like they actually sit down at towns' bars to drink ale or spend nights at inns?! This FFXII is having a lot more cons than pros at this point...

5. Korean Food is impressive for the most part in both taste and looks.

6. HOchie 1 would rather allow Beat to have a dirty ass than a red ass.

Currently Listening to: a mix of songs, much like Trail Mix, that went something like this -

Track 1. "Supermassive Black Hole" by MUSE, Live on BBC's Radio 1.
Track 2. "New Born" by MUSE, Live from the Absolution Australian Concert Bonus Disc.
Track 3. "Black Waltz" by Nobuo Uematsu, from the Final Fantasy IX Original Soundtrack.
Track 4. "Falling Down" by MUSE, from Showbiz .
Track 5. "Encounter with Tetra" by Kenta Negata, Hajime Wakai, Toru Minigeshi and Koji Kondo, from the Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker Original Soundtrack.
Track 6. "Windmills" by Toad the Wet Sprocket, from Dulcinea.
