David Tennant picspam. I love this guy and I haven't even seen a single episode of Doctor Who (thanks, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
vyctori :P).
These screenshots of Emperor Peony of Malkuth from the Tales of the Abyss anime make me happy in my skirt. (Once again, thanks,vyctori.)
Aaah! Real Sumo Wrestling(tm)! (A.K.A. "What Happens When You Cross Sumo Wrestling With Street Fighter Effects.")
ysabetwordsmith has a nice post here about designing business cards, which will come in handy for me assuming that me and my friend Lauren manage to snag a table at Anime Central this year. I've been obsessively checking the main site for a while now, and I saw that they'd put up a registration link on Sunday night, so I went and filled out the form. Now I'm just waiting for it to be processed, or so the site says.
"If Twilight Was 10 Times Shorter and 100 Times More Honest." I could do without the fat jokes, but other than that, it's hilarious.
Rounder's press release about Vienna Teng's fourth album.
Also, an awesome shot of Vienna from her performance at SanFran's Palace of Fine Arts on December 13. Will you just check those boots! And the dress. And the hair clips.
The other day, I ate some mitarashi dango that I bought from Mitsuwa Marketplace. Oh, man, the soy sauce syrup completely ruined it for me. Next time I'm getting the bocchan dango or the hanami dango.

Been catching up a bit on Gintama subs on crunchyroll. I had to stop after 88, though, 'cause the subtitles on 89 were borked, le sigh.
RE: Gintama 84
Gintoki stabbed someone with a subtitle. No, I'm serious.
RE: Gintama 88
I think this has to be my favorite episode of the series thus far. If only for the use of "constructing the dirty Tower of Babel" as a running euphemism for FtM sex-reassignment surgery. ONWARDS, NOBLE WARRIORS OF BABYLON! Oh, yeah, and cute Kyuubei is adorable.

Am finishing up chapters 3 and 4 in The Complete Idiot's Guide to Music Theory, which involve scales, musical modes, and major and minor keys. I've been busy working on an art commission forvyctori, so I haven't been able to sit down and do the audio exercises, but I took some notes from the book. I also went on the Wiccapedes and found this helpful article, which dumbs down musical modes enough for me to play them myself without breaking my brain too much. (Yes, apparently a book called The Complete Idiot's Guide to Music Theory didn't dumb down modes enough for me; I had to go to Wikipedia. I'm pretty sure this says something unflattering about me.)
SURPRIZE VIENNA in the Lydian mode article, which claims that her song "Momentum" shifts between Lydian and major. Also, Metallica's "Enter Sandman" and "Sad But True" are in Locrian mode? Whoah.
The next dungeon for me to challenge is Rhythm and Tempo. That's going to be a killer, f'rreal. But I really gotta learn this shit if I want to get any further in my musical career thingamabobber thing.
