Mmm a nice hot scone with tea on a cold Winter's day~

The scone was too small though, I should have ordered two.

I'm a little sick... which isn't fun but I'm surviving. I feel better today than I did yesterday at least.

Crunchyroll has officially claimed Bleach and will be legally streaming it now. I should be excited that now we have a completely legal alternative to watching Japanese Bleach and yet... ah dear I've given in to the dark side x___X;;;

Basically it's just my bias on why fans that access some things in a way others disapprove of, I dislike the way they consider the method to be hurting the greater fandom. I know it's not right and it's not ideal, but is war? To gain peace we must fight? To cook an egg we have to break it's protecting shell first, don't we?

Look it's not ideal, but far out stop telling us it's hurting the goddarn fandom, because it's not!

Here's two scenarios, where I use Burimyu as an example. Supposably, I am hurting Burimyu by taking alternate methods to access their shows (i.e. youtube, torrents etc). I'm not proud of doing that to them, but I'm a the ends justify the means kind of person.

Go on, tell me which of these HURTS Burimyu more!

Bleach (JAP) 44, Ouran DVD set, FMA DVD set, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time manga, new One Piece colour book, Bleach (ENG) DVD 20 and 21 [Not really but it's Shuu and Izu!!]

Maybe it's time to renew my membership. I don't buy things from Kino anymore... but haah, I have no excuse to be buying such things right now, so I will just shop and stare.

Code Geass R2, 4 volumes down, 2 to go until the box set! I will get it when it comes out as a box set!

WAH! And only 35 days until Live 卍解 Show Code 003's DVD!!!

So much merch, so little money... ORZ;;;

Before be breach the barrier and enter 2010, I look back on the year that was 2009.

Below are summaries on my year, my achievements, the good times, the most memorable times and some other perks that have made my year special.

I have a 10-or-so page report on my Live Journal, but you need to have an account/be on my friends-list to see it. So I'm just going to post my summary pics here.

Hong Kong and fun days out with my friends.

Valentines cosplay meet, more days out, and starting the Kitamura Eiki fanclub (kitaeiki) on LJ.

Starting at JMC, my BLEACH chibis project, and Izuru's birthday.

Some fun times, my first time being tipsy, and my completed bookmarks.

The announcement of the original cast coming back for Burimyu 2010, renovations, and the Burimyu Film Fes.

Supanova, watching Gakuen Heaven and completing my One Piece bookmarks.

Silver and Ray's birthday outing, watching Code Geass and the beginning of Bleach's Zanpakutou arc.

Getting really into sewing felt goods, Code Geass, and Tari and my first art table at SMASH.

My first cosplay birthday party, Animania, and turning 19.

Tower of Sugar, my first badges and Halloween.

Burimyu tickets going on sale, JACS and my first laser tag game.

Christmas break, more badges, and more art.

See you all in 2010!

I'd completely forgotten exactly how awesome these movies are, and that Bionicle Mask of Light; is the reason I am studying what I am studying today. For of course it was the backstage footage of one Andrew Francis that had be looking into acting and evidently the Entertainment Industry.

Also, for the last couple of days I have been re-watching episode of Cyborg 009 (but now I've been watching it Japanese). It is strange hearing Sakurai-san's voice coming from 009, whom I dislike, and Shikamaru-kun's voice coming from nii-chan Jet. I feel like I've reconnected with them, and it makes me so happy to show them the young woman I have become.

You remember Jet, don't you Fishy?

It has been quite the stroll down memory lane, this first week of summer break. I wish people would reply to me and offer me a job already.

Japan!trip is stressing me out, but at the moment I feel peaceful. I hope it stays this way. I don't like feeling so negative towards Burimyu.
