More Doll Show wip

Working until early in the morning.

At that point I try to have a 3 hour nap and end up sleeping for 6 hours. This has happened one time too many now so tonight I won’t be sleeping at all.

Ok this is turning more into a music blog lately but I must say I love love love the Shiki opening song! It was released a few days ago. But apparently they’re going to change it soon. Which is weird cause we’re only at episode 9.

Middie Blythe

Super exciting news! A new Blythe size will be introduced this autumn!

I’ve been waiting for this for years! The first time I saw a Blythe in person I thought they looked so BIG, I expected them to be much smaller from the photos, like Odeco size. It seems that Middie Blythe will be around that size. I wonder if she will have an eye changing mechanism. I hope so, because sleep eyes would be a little boring. My biggest worry is the face really, what will the sculpt look like? I hope it’s true to the kenner face, only shrunken down, and not an entirely new face.

I think this is a much needed novelty for the Blythe world, we’re nearing 10 years of Neo now! It will be great to work on a new size of clothing and new customs.

In progress

Been sick :(

Administrator — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 02:07:19 +0000

I’ve been sick for a while now, I can’t seem to shake it off! First it started with my tonsils, then I got a nose so blocked I couldn’t taste anything for two days, now my ear hurts. I’ve mostly stayed in bed and rested, but today I thought I’d go to the market and have my favourite ethiopian meal. The weather was good, then sun was so bright it made you squint. Five minutes later, it was POURING with rain and I got soaking wet. Typical english weather.

Admittedly I’ve been eating very badly lately, sooo many sweets and chocolate and candies and cakes. I miss my mom’s cooking. Or rather, I miss having someone take care of me. One of my best friends from Athens is moving in with me in October, maybe we can split the cooking between us. I also plan to take japanese style bento to uni every day, wake up early and prepare something nice. Rice, omelette, inari sushi and tsukemono (japanese pickles) especially umeboshi. Umeboshi is said to prevent bacteria from growing, that’s why they always put one in every bento. Maybe I should invest in a rice cooker. I will look for a cute bento box and a cookbook when I’m in Tokyo.

Only a couple weeks left now until my trip!

屍鬼とブラック★ロックシューター

Shiki is getting better and better, though I do find the progression a tad slow, especially considering they have a huge story to fit in just 22 episodes…

コワーーーイ女の子！T＿T　でもひめカットがすき。

Sunako’s dresses are always very cute.

I love her eyes.

I also watched the Black Rock Shooter OVA, it was so much better than I expected. I thought it was going to be one of those moe-licious anime for otaku to go crazy over and buy figures without having any real substance. It was really quite nice though, I hope they make more OVA or even a series out of this.

Mylène

Today I’m listening to Mylène Farmer, another of my most loved artists. It’s weird with Mylène because, of course, I don’t understand a word she sings but still her music and videos speak to me in a very direct way. This is what makes her so special to me. I guess when there’s truth and honest feelings in one’s work, one can feel it despite the language barrier.

Amazing cover artwork by Etsuko Miura.

Student loan woes

Administrator — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 00:31:20 +0000

I got a letter from the student loans company, asking me to provide “compelling evidence about my withdrawal from my previous course”. I wrote them a letter, but basically, if they decide my reasons were not good enough, I won’t even get a loan for the tuition fees, let alone to live on. It’s all very stressful. If they really turn me down I’ll have to sell everything, everything, to at least make the £3200 for the fees. And then during the year, I have no idea how I’ll be able to keep up with the study required while working to pay the bills. Ugh, give me a break already.

Anime summer season

Administrator — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 00:11:32 +0000

I am not watching much anime this season because I didn’t find much all that interesting. Kuroshitsuji II has gone really overboard with the fanservice, the only reason I kept watching was to see something horrible happen to Alois so if he croaks after the latest episode, I’m done with it.

Shiki however seems pretty interesting so far, apart from the ridiculous hairstyles. They’ll be quite a challenge to cosplay, that’s for sure haha. Apparently Gackt is one of the voice actors.

I’m also downloading Occult academy to give it a try.
