| New DEG Single, |
[15 Dec 2009|09:30pm] |
So my new Dir en grey single arrived today.
I am now the proud (and somewhat amused) owner of a sticker depicting DEG's feet. I can only assume I was supposed to order the "regular" version of the single to get their heads... Guys, you'll have to pardon me if I don't rush to HMV once I get off the plane in January and pick up your regular version...especially since you gave me a poster...that's the same image as the sticker, that's the same image as the front of the single. But thanks for trying.

| Last bit of Silversmthing for the Year |
[05 Dec 2009|11:52am] |
This past Tuesday I had my last silversmithing class of 2009. I was (just barely) able to finish my last two projects.
My name riveted in brass on silver tiles connected by hinges. This is going to be glorious fun to fiddle with when I'm bored.
A silver ring using wax casting. Not at all what I had originally planned, but my original plan was a bit ambitious. It amuses me nonetheless.
Not silversmithing, but oh well. Shell, silver and black beads on silver-plated memory wire.

I treated the silver with "liver of sulfur" to get the colors and tube-set a cubic-z in it.

| Tea with Tachibana-san |
[15 Nov 2009|06:47pm] |
Tachibana-san was 15 years old when the first A-bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, where she was working in a factory. She's 79 and one half and living in Calgary. She met with my JET Alumni group and guests Saturday afternoon to share her story and answer questions.
Tachibana-san is in the very middle.
It was an amazing afternoon. She'd written down her whole life story and read it to us before answering questions.
"How did you keep living after all these hard times that you had?"
Tachibana-san: I was still breathing, so I had to keep living!

Silver and brass. Rivets in silver. Forgot the little bits in the feet of the X. Oops. Oh well. Going to shine it up properly next week at class.

| Random Thoughts on E-Harmony: |
[31 Oct 2009|10:27am] |
1. If you're pursuing a relationship already, maybe you should turn your matching off. Or is that just your bullshit 'being nice' excuse for closing communication with me?
2. Would you explain to a girl, on the second date, your sexual needs? Then perhaps you shouldn't choose "I can't stand a woman who doesn't want sex regularly" or "I must have a girl who is sexually mature" in your "Must haves/Can't stands" considering its the SECOND thing a girl learns about you.

| Good and the Bad |
[26 Oct 2009|07:33pm] |
The good news is: I got a ticket to see DEG at Budokan...the EASY CHEAP way! *does a little dance*
The bad news is: Nightmare's live on the 9th starts at 4pm...I arrive in Tokyo at 3:30...so I'll never make it. *snarls* Who starts a live at 4pm, honestly?

| A little bit of shopping... |
[25 Oct 2009|07:03pm] |
Shoe Warehouse was having a sale, 2 pairs for $60, so I grabbed the flats. Then Winners had the pair of slip-ons for $50 and they were too comfy to turn down.
Can't remember the last time I had a new pair of winter boots (The old ones were looking...shabby).
