Lost-and-Found … Yamamoto-sensei!

Thursday, September 27th, 2007

I found a picture of my Japanese language teacher from about four years ago. Her name is Rumiko Yamamoto.

She was like one of my favourite teachers when I was attending classes at ECU, next to my Design and Ceramics teachers. She was a fun person and made learning Japanese fun, despite having a really crappy [...]

So there’s some open spots …

Sunday, September 23rd, 2007

Looks like there are some parts still available for Quest of Judgment.
We got some auditions but some of them sounded like they were heavily modified that I wasn’t sure what to make of it– some pitch-benders can be quite noticeable. On the other hand, one person that auditioned, Goofparade, has quite a dynamic voice and [...]

I found my Steno Pad!

Friday, September 21st, 2007

Yup! I found my notepad today. It was in Food Lion all along. Apparently, it was kept in some drawer in the Express Checkout lane instead of the usual place for Lost-and-Found objects. I guess they never bothered to send me an email if they found it … but the point is that I managed [...]

I made a Facebook account

Friday, September 21st, 2007

I knew a lot of people on Facebook so I figured I’d make one:

I haven’t put up my picture yet, but once I get my digital camera working, I’ll put one up!

Overcoming shyness … and a good excercise of things.

Thursday, September 20th, 2007

After a good five minutes of sitting down and staring at her nameplate on her post-it board, I managed to strike up a conversation with Ms. Nakamae. She was indeed a very nice person and she liked the picture I posted on her door yesterday so that’s a good thing. Sadly, I wouldn’t be able [...]

A “hello” is a start …

Wednesday, September 19th, 2007

… of a discussion of some sorts. Well, actually, I said “Good Morning!” and she replied back with a subtle “Hello.” However, I didn’t had much to think about except head straight to work. Well … actually, I walked with her to her office, I didn’t really say anything because I was too shy to [...]

Progress on the OP theme

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

So far, so good, we pretty much got a basic backing track working well. However, we didn’t like the lyrics all that much so we had to overhaul it. Instead of Ari trying to strain her throat for some low-key grumbles, she opted for a more sinister-sounding secondary vocal. Basically, the lyrics are now written [...]

Monday starts something new …

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

… well, yesterday anyways.
I started listening and singing-along to Utada Hikaru while driving to work. A somewhat brisk change compared to thrashing my throat while trying to singing along to Ayumi Hamasaki’s harder stuff … the reasoning behind that is because I wanted to try to develop a character for a book that would sing [...]

Lost Steno Pad …

Sunday, September 16th, 2007

I’ve been spending a good night trying to locate my Steno Pad and I have a pretty weird feeling that I left it on a shopping cart in Food Lion. Retracing my steps, I brought it with me because I wrote my grocery list on it. At the same time, that pad also had a [...]

On to stuff that actually matters …

Tuesday, September 11th, 2007

All the main roles of Quest of Judgment have been confirmed!
In addition, Ari and I received the first batch of VOs back from sisch, who will play Agnus Mesmer, the mischievous and deceptive fortune teller, and the main antagonist, of the series. She really fits quite well for this role, though with a bit more [...]
