Before getting into the con stuff, I thought I’d mention that i really like this cover for the limited edition of the PS3 from FFXIII. It looks totally awesome. Too bad it won’t ever come here…
And FFVIII is now available in the PSN store in Japan! That should mean it gets over here pretty quickly so that’ll be cool too. Another random thing from TGS09 that caught my eye was a new Square Enix game called Death By Cube? Here’s a trailer. Very interesting.
And, just as a side note, OMG SKIP BEAT!!!!!!
(I’m referring to the last two chapters, 145 and 146. They were simply… insane)
And Happy 11th Birthday, Google!
Wow… 11 years…
Anyway, I just wanted to say that I wasn’t originally planning for this to stretch three weeks but what with school starting (and musical practices beginning. We’re doing Grease this year! Yay!) and just at how much I wrote for each day, this ended up being the case.
With that said, on to Day 3 we go!
More from Fan Expo 2009!

By the way, it’s International Talk Like a Pirate Day. (YARRR! lol) However, as cool as it would be, I’m not going to write this post as a pirate. Sorry! lol.
And school is back and insane.
Why must things be so complicated?
Blah.
Also, apparently I didn’t see this earlier but this is an interesting US Open match. lol. Not sure if it beats Federer’s awesome shot, though, but it comes fairly close. 
Anyway, onwards to Day 2 of Fan Expo!
No I did not go see the Jonas Brothers…

Or the Wonder Girls (grr. I’m jealous of my friends who did see them sing Nobody). I was at the Fan Expo!
This is a little late now but the end of summer and school were a little higher up on my list so yeah! Better late than never? lol
It was an action-packed three days (with little sleep) and an awesome time. My only regret is that I didn’t use a lot of flash in my pictures so many ended up blurry but I was just trying to be nice and not add to the blindness created by all the other flash photographers. But apparently, it was needed. I still have a lot of pictures though so it’s alright.
OMG

Wow this past week has been CRAZY! Lots of stuff going on. (Making this a pretty long post.Partly to make up for last week too I guess.)
So I just got back from California visiting my sister and it was so much fun!
We saw No Doubt in concert which was great! (and which was also my first concert experience so that was cool. Gwen is amazing live. She’s all over the place dancing and running into the crowds and interactive and stuff. Very cool. And I’m still surprised I still have my voice after that night. lol).
We also went to San Francisco and it was actually pretty sunny when we went (which is apparently rare) but we still weren’t able to get a good glimpse of the Golden Gate Bridge. It was like all the clouds decided to huddle over the bridge.
This was the best pic I could get.
Remembering those lost…

Rest in Paradise, MJ.

A couple days ago, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson passed away. Fawcett was one of the original Charlie’s Angels as well as a recent cancer survivor passed away thursday morning and I don’t think MJ needs any introduction. While the media may have twisted his later image that may or may not be true (but you also have to realize this comes with the territory of being in the spotlight. Is there any celebrity who is “normal”?), the fact is he was instrumental to the music industry from a young age with the Jackson 5 and even more so as a single artist. And I still doubt there is anyone who can dance like he can. I thought it was kind of weird because I had also recently been adding more MJ songs to my current playlist and then he was back on the news. Anyway, I just wanted to say a little something for these people who have recently passed away. While I can’t say I was around for much of the early parts of their lives, I still know who they are and respect all they have done for their respective industries.
May they both rest in peace.
I will remember her kindness, her cutting dry wit and, of course, her beautiful smile…when you think of Farrah, remember her smiling because that is exactly how she wanted to be remembered: smiling.

Crazy stuff at E3! And elsewhere.
But I still got good news and bad news. So I’ll start with the bad. I have exams coming up (including a 3-hour one next Saturday afternoon. WHO WAS THE GENIUS WHO SCHEDULED THAT?!?!?! Oh right. The same genii that told me I’d have to drop a course because they couldn’t fit my timetable… Until I pestered them for two weeks. Yeah.) meaning it is highly likely there will be no post next week since my exams span one and a half weeks (and I just happen to have exams both on the first and last days. Lovely.) So, wish me luck? Or really, just hope that I spend a decent amount of time actually studying productively.
And onto semi-bad news. Or at least in my opinion. A couple days ago, we saw the first trailer for FFXIV! (This was codenamed Rapture FYI) And it looked great! Until… the title came up. ONLINE? YOU SERIOUS? They already had FFXI. (And with a Star Wars MMORPG coming probably in 2010 too…) And if they’re gonna do this, they need to at least have a regular game that’s called FFXIV and then a related game that’s the mmo. I don’t like how the mmo’s are taking over the main name. If it was just FFXI, I would have let it go, but another one? … We’ll see how that goes.
The only good thing about this is that Nobuo Uematsu will be back for it! And, assuming he didn’t just come back for the one game, he might be back for good! That’ll be AWESOME!
Ah… the good old days…

And to what am I referring? Well, recently I’ve been watching random clips of Whose Line is it Anyway? on Youtube (can’t quite remember how that started but you know… one video led to another and whoops. 5 hours went by. lol. My last post should be proof enough to show this does happen… at least to me?) So I was looking back and I LOVE Whoopi Goldberg when she’s on this show. She’s amazing at improv. Anyway I also forgot Kathy Griffin was on the show and I had no idea that Stephen Colbert did at least one episode. Did you know that? It was very cool. And poor Colin… he’s always the woman in any of the skits, but he does fabulous last liners in the Irish Drinking Songs. You should definitely take a look. Youtube user 12medbe has a ton of stuff. And Ryan always ends up being an animal in the Party Quirks. It’s hilarious! lol
Here’s one I really like for the game Quick Change.
Other good ones:
Rap with Stephen Colbert
Drew Carey makes me hot
Squeeky
The Cat!
Bus Stop
(The ones below contain more innuendos and adult matter)
WHOOPI PWNS!
Bite Me
Is THIS?!
Jane
I’m sure there are a million more good ones and maybe later I’ll add to this list but that’s all for now. Enjoy!

So, funny story. Well, more like random, but funny sounds more intriguing. This is a chain of Youtube videos that I watched earlier today and I thought I’d share it with you. So I was just looking through my Youtube subscription updates and one of them happened to be from Kollaboration (which has AWESOME stuff by the way) and I came across one of their performers, Jennifer Chung, and she was singing this song, Very Last Time which she happened to write and I loved her voice, so I looked at the version of it on her Youtube channel which is even better (quality-wise and everything) and then this lead me to one of her covers, Nobody originally by the Wonder Girls which is BEAUTIFUL. I had never heard the song before but I had to find it immediately, and lucky for me, that video was a video response to it and the Wonder Girls version is awesome as well. Jennifer’s is a sweet mellow ballad version but still beautiful while the Wonder Girls do their awesome dance-pop version, with a great dance to go along with it. Here is the original version.
That’s why you need a plan b

So, as usual, my original plan didn’t end up happening so instead of finishing up Nabari no Ou, this week I caught up on Shugo Chara, which is still progress so that was good. And also, I’m feeling the need to further express my love of Skip Beat so I’ll be sure to do that in this post.
But I also feel like listening to a song…
This is Toast by J featuring Humming Urban Stereo. This is a really calming yet upbeat song that I feel like you’d here in a high-class coffee shop or something and I think it’s really cool. I can’t really remember how I found this song but I’m pretty sure it happened after surfing random videos of songs on Youtube which led me to this. I was also doing this yesterday for game music and came across some that were compilations of victory fanfares from a bunch of games and just listening to that reminded me of the great moments in those games and that happy feeling. Oh the wonderful memories…
Oh and if you’re not caught up on Shugo Chara or Skip Beat, this post may not be for you.
Anyway…
The only thing better than weekends…

… are long weekends! Or more-than-a-week long breaks, but that doesn’t come too often, so long weekends are the next best thing.
Anyway, this song (at least this version of it) has been in my head for over a week now. I really wanna learn how to play this lol. It doesn’t look too hard…
Oh and… I guess I have to say it… so
Happy Valentine’s Day!
or, as I’ve seen a number of people mention, Single Awareness Day (whose acronym happens to be SAD… Coincidence? I think not!)
