9:29 pm - Photo + Story: Jon's Diary
|
I didn't go to class today. I had enough money to beat a bunch of ten-year-olds at King of Fighters for an hour and a half and grab some fries off the dollar menu afterwards. I couldn't go back, I'd just be scolded for being lazy by one of the biggest hypocrites in the known universe.
I went to the park as the park is the best place to blow off whatever it is you have to do.
Unfortunately for me, he had the same idea.
( Journey onwards... )
(I swear when I get a new camera these will get far more interesting....)

5:31 pm - The Ten Commandments of Volks
|
1. I am thy Mother SD, keeper of thine angels and Other Yourselves, and as such thou shalt not have any Dolls but those of Volks, welcomed each in turn with capes, candles, and unnecessary keigo. Thou shalt not deface such dolls with wigs, eyes, or accouterments from any other company.
2. Thou shalt not take the name of SD falsely, calling heathen LUTS and Angelregion dolls SD. There is no SD but Volks SD.
3. Thou shalt remember Tenshi-no-Sato, the holy place of pilgrimage, and once unto thine adult life make a pilgrimage there. Thou shalt tithe fifty percent, perhaps more, of thine worldly income to the nearest Sumika.
4. Honor thine dolls, for they represent thee at all stages of thine life- from the thou-yet-to-be floating in amniotic fluid, to the thou-who-doth-choketh-upon-dust-of-resin.
5. Thou shalt not murder the image of thine SD with wite-out and Sharpie.
6. Thou shalt not touch the private bits of thine SDs inappropriately.
7. Thou shalt not steal from the corporation of Volks, but thou mayest steal from others to finance thine regular tithe.
8. Thou shalt not bear false witness whence ordering LEs, one-offs or FCS SDs. The dolls thou dost order are bound to thy soul once thou handest the cashier thine charge card. Therefore, thou mayest only order dolls for thine own use, and thou mayest not sell thine dolls to finance thine crack/doujinshi/food addictions.
9. Thou shalt not covet thine neighbor's SDs.
10. Thou shalt not covet dirty Korean or Chinese BJDs, for they are the work of the Dark One and have no place on Holy Ground.

2:37 pm - Geeky Plans
|
This is especially intended for ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) utopiantrunks
I'd like to come down to Kansai for the weekend of April 25-26. We can get tickets to Takarazuka (薔薇に降る雨、AMOURそれは） for that Sunday, and possibly hit up Sato the day before. If you're cool with that, awesome.
May 29th the next Trek movie comes out. Also, Takarazuka will put on ELISABETH, only the best. show. ever. Tickets are going to sell like hotcakes so I will try my best to get them on April 18th, the day they come out. We can talk a bit more about it afterwards but if you want I can come down for Trek and Elisabeth....

9:00 am - Ode to Laziness
|
I swear I am going to upload the photostory soon. I swearisweariswear. However, we've recently had a cold snap with a SNOWSTORM yesterday morning, so I get back from work to bury myself under the covers. Forecast says it's going to rain every day for a week.
If you are a Brit or have ever resided in Britland (or from like Seattle) you are going to call me a pussy. The difference is that Toyama isn't pretty and is even less so in the rain.
Man, I was going to talk about Takarazuka or dolls or video games or something but I simply can't. It's another fun day of feeling my soul being crushed in a vise. Oh well, whatever, Imma go study.

9:04 am - Chronicles of the Strange: Cons and Such
|
There is so much I want to say about cons, geekmeets and such but I for the life of me don't know where to start. So I shall begin by considering the origins of geeks. Are geeks geeks because they are strange or strange because they are geeks?
Either way, I as well as many other geeks feel as if we do not "jive" with the rest of society, but still we long for camaraderie, adventure, and steel on steel. While the latter two may only be had at a tabletop game, LARP, or video game session, the first flourishes at our cons and events.
Of course, the worst part of these events is saying goodbye. Events grant us the chance to be ourselves for a little while. But eventually costumes and garb need to be swapped for street clothes, dolls need to be returned to cases, pointed ears yanked off and dice chucked into our velvet pouches, nestling in the bottom of our backpacks. And as utopiantrunks pointed out, we make our way to train stations and bus terminals to part for a time, floating amidst "normal" society until the next such meet.
This isn't to say there are some of us that "live the life" such as the Whitewater juror who wore her Starfleet uniform to the trial. Especially in America, the self-proclaimed "Otaku" run around in Naruto headbands and anime t-shirts. These people irk me and have irked me for a while, whereas the juror in uniform and the Klingons bowling do not bother me at all. In the end, I believe it is because of the preteen attention whoring of the American Otaku set- the loudness, the lounging around Barnes and Noble destroying the manga, the grabby-hands at every BJD who is dragged along to a convention, the unwarranted glomping of anyone remotely attractive in cosplay. But this is another rant entirely. The key is this- most of us are fairly quiet, respective, generally low-key types and the parting of company is always a cause for sadness as we trudge back to cover ourselves up for the workaday world.

11:18 am - Down, Down, to Den Den Town you go, my lad!
|
So we went to Den Den Town yesterday. Den Den Town is the Akihabara of Osaka: Electronics stores, video game stores, anime and manga stores, "maid cafes" where otaku pay cute girls in costumes to talk to them, and PORN EVERYWHERE.
Of course, I took pictures, and I bought a lot of shit.
