Lens Swamp (2009.9.2 18:27)

I don't know if I can climb Mt Fuji yet, but I was swept along with everyone's "Take an SLR" influence, (^_^)

and bought a lens for Climbing Mt Fuji use. (^^;)


Of course, even just the camera body is heavy, and three heavyweight-class lenses are intense,

but this convenient zoom lens handles it all from wide-angle viewing to telephoto viewing in one lens. Plus, it has camera shake correction. (^_^)

Really, you know... I'm was saving up for a macro lens, (^_^) but now I can't buy it... (^^;)

It's obvious, but you can't take pictures with a camera that doesn't have a lens, and the numbers go up as the years go by. (^_^)

Wide-angle zoom, standard zoom, telephoto zoom, single focus, macro, fish-eye, blue lens... there are so many kinds, I want this one and I want that one and I want them all. (^_^)

Incidentally, even if I do it with only the one lens, it is pretty heavy to carry around... (^^;)

It would still be the climb from hell. (bwahahah)

Well then well then everyone, the seasons are changing, so don't catch a cold.

P.S. I couldn't go for Gundam after all. (T_T) I want to take a photo of the Gundam with the setting sun in the background on a clear day...

I'm really... (2009.8.31 00:42)

not making any progress... I play it whenever I'm in the hip bath, but still...


Of course, with RPGs, if I don't play them day and night, I won't finish them. (^_^) In the old days, I'd do nothing but play for two or three days.

Now, though... I can't pull all-nighters unless it's for work... (bwahahah)

Oh and those Gensis costumes... Very "DIABOLOS" huh... I'm all nostalgic. (^_^)

At the scene where Genesis makes an appearance, I had a flashback to that night at the Tokyo Dome, the PSP still in my hands. (^_^)

In the middle of the bathtub. (*embarrassed*)

The way things are going, I won't be finishing it for a while... (^_^)

Well then well then, stock up for typhoons.

P.S. Did everyone go out to vote? In the future, it'll probably be in the history textbooks, this day will be commemorated.



[ see, voting /is/ what the cool kids do~ ]

NEW~ (2009.8.29 00:35)

It's gotten cold lately, but we still have full-on sulight at least.

This doesn't have anything to do with that, but...

I bought a regular digital camera for Fuji-climbing use. (^_^)


Mm? Don't I already have a bazillion cameras? (^^;) Yeah yeah... Still, I don't think I'm making it all the way up that mountain carrying all that weight. (*big ^^;) *)

But still, it's been a while since I've purchased this kind of thing, and I was surprised at how much they've evolved.

12 million pixels, blur correction, 10x zoom, a battery that lasts through 1,000 pictures, I feel like this thing has everything. (^_^)

Plus, it's totally automatic, so all you have to do really is "Push." (^_^)

The prints are really great, so if you make them about L-size, it might even win out over an SLR. *

Maybe that's an exaggeration? (^_^)

Well, I still prefer the viewfinder, you know. (^_^) But you can take photos looking at the LCD screen on SLRs now, too. (^_^)

No matter what I say, I'll go carrying around the SLR in the end, (^^;) but for now we'll call it a back-up camera. (^_^)

And when it goes into the manure drawer (^_^) we'll make it a photo contest prize. (^_^)

Ah, before that, it'll be the one machine I haven't even used yet... (^^;)

Well then well then, have a good weekend~


[ * l-size is the size he uses for his photo contests. ]

One step forward (2009.8.28 10:11)

It arrived first thing in the morning... zzz


I immediately installed it, but I think I'm going to use it for a while longer before I say how I feel about it. (^^;)

Or should I say...

I didn't even get accustomed to Leopard before it was completely revamped. (*big (^^;) *)

But still, they've stuck to the name Mac and OSX, they've used cheeta, puma, jaguar, panther, tiger, and we've gotten all the way to leopard,

but won't they run out of names one day...? (^_^) Maybe one day we'll have LION or something like that. (^_^)

But, whatever animal they name the OS after, it's still good. It gives me a big rush of lovey feelings. (^_^)

Although I have to say goodbye to them after a short time, but still... (hahahah)


Well then well then everyone, I've said it I don't know how many times, but really seriously be careful of the flu.


P.S. Thank you for the 33 Holiday.

I live everyday encouraged by all sorts of people. (^_^)

Today I'm grateful for all the miracles in this place!!


[ alright, it didn't suck as much as i thought it was going to. i changed a few things, but i still don't know what 33 holiday he's on about... ]

Lamantations... (2009.8.26日 00:50)

It's a manga I got from a fan.


Contrary to that title (^^;) it's really heart-warming subject matter...

As I kept reading, my heart warmed right up, and I spontaneously started crying. (^_^)

People who are already parents, people who are still children, people who live seperated from their parents,

everyone should definitely give it a read. It's a rare gem, you'll laugh and cry. (^_^)

I'll try phoning mom every once in a while. (^_^) That's the sort of thing this volume makes me think.

Well then well then~


[ the manga's title? samurai mom. priceless! ]

anisama~ (2009.8.24 01:10)

Man~ that was one hot night. (^_^)

Seen from on stage, it was alll different colors, a different mood (^_^) and still it was the most enjoyable.

All the guests were the same sex, but stuff like that gets me pretty fired up. (^_^)

For us, it was totally an away game (^^;) so it was a warm, no, rather, a hot greeting.

I'm truly grateful. m(._.)m Let's spend another hot night together some day.

So, in commemoration of today...


This time I got a t-shirt. (*joy*) I'll wear it when I go to Akiba next time. (^_^)

Well then well then~ Anisama is the best!!

P.S. We got a big chant. (^_^) "Cool!! Super Cool!!~" Plus, we got to shake hands after the end of the show. (*joy*)

Yeah~ side benefits. (^_^)

Afterwards, it was the promised ride home on the train. (^_^) Those satisfied smiling faces on the crowds going home were nice to see.

Seeing things like that really restore my motivation.

Tonight, I'll drink some delicious sake and go to bed... (^_^)

Well, actually I'm already drinking. (bwahahah)


[ anisama would be the animelo summer live, which is an annual anime music concert, held every summer. this year, it was in saitama super arena. this must be what he was talking about the other day. wow, i feel like a bad fan. (^^;) anyhow, gackt et al performed on the 23rd. the cheer translation may or may not (probably may not) be correct, but hopefully my translation sensei will set me straight. thanks~
well, my translation sensei wasn't familiar with the cheer either, so that leaves it up to you guys~ (^_^) ]

I answer your questions (^_^) (2009.8.22 00:51)

The perfume I was wearing at the meet-and-great the other day, is something I got from a fan, but honestly, I didn't clearly remember the name of it. (^^;)

Lots of people asked, "What do you use it for?" and I got a little worried, like, "Yeah, what is it?"

When you look at it properly, the name seems to be "RISING WAVE ZERO."


Usually I do Gaultier, but this perfume, it has a very freshing scent like summer, and it gives me a refreshed feeling.

I like it, and every day I've been diligently using it, so it's already almost empty, (^^;) but we're getting near the end of summer, too, so next time I'll have to find something for autumn use. (^_^)

The Gaultier I use is a women's scent, but everybody I asked seems to like it. It especially does well with guys, (^_^) and the shape of that little bottle is nice, too. (^_^)

Somehow, I think scents for guys are pretty lacking. Guys like sweet scents, too. (^_^)

Well then well then everybody, be careful with your scent, too. (^_^)


[ a) more super thanks so sensei!
b) sorry for the tardiness. i was on vacation last week, and today i've pretty much been killed by yesterday's 18-hour drive. (>_<) ]
