I went to bed last night but couldn’t sleep, so I turned on my computer and my scanner. Then I opened photoshop. And now I’m sleep deprived. LOL

If you think I can stay away from this picture, you don’t know me at all! XD

It’s my most favorite shot from Takki’s set of this year calendar. I’m completely in love with it. How could I not? Tono in monochrome! Tono’s abs!!!! Tono in white pants! Tono was spreading his legs wide open when wearing white pants, to be exact!!! LOL Of course, you should be used to this perverted part of my brain by now~ XD

The atmosphere was so calm and peaceful, and if you look a bit further, I’d say, lonely even. Great composition. Natural. Simple. Beautiful.

For a second, I thought he was an elf sailing off to the Undying Land. (then I screamed: OH CRAP! COME BACK TAKKI!!! XD)

Anyway, it’s pretty tricky to recreate the rest of the water. I’ve tried various techniques, but 2.5 hours later, I just gave up and threw in some layers to conceal my patchworks. LOL Also, I started off with fancy fonts and a lot more texts, but changed my mind and decided to keep it simple instead. 2 versions of the same thing as I obviously couldn’t decide on the colors. ^^

TGIF!

I skipped lunch yesterday to go get this precious. Oh boy, it took such an effort to drive back to the office instead of going straight home to drool properly!! XDD oh and YAY for FedEx! Even though they routed my package all the way up to Alaska, then all the way down to California, it still got here on time! LOL

I had to bang my head against the wheel for not having any cutting device in my car and there’s no way I could wait to get home and properly cut off the shrink wrap, so my car key will have to do. I tried my best not to rip the wrap apart, but it’s so hard to control my shaking hands xD

When I saw Mezamashi clip last week, the first thing that came to my mind (after KYAAAA KAKKOIIII~~~ of course, that’s the routine xD) was: ehhh B&W!Tono and super colorful!Wing-san? Shouldn’t it be the other way around? (oh well, probably thinking about Yakusoku PVs at that moment xD) So I was expecting this year calendar to be something totally different as I was bouncing impatiently waiting to see the real thing.

So, now, my thoughts on this year calendar~
(if you haven’t got your calendar yet, spoilers behind cut, proceed with cautions)

pinky

March 5, 2008 | et cetera |

Got an email from Amazon this morning, they’ve finally shipped out my calendar and R&J DVD. I jumped to FedEx website to track the package, and almost screamed. It will be here tomorrow morning (YES!) after being routed all the way to Alaska, but I won’t be home to wait for it as usual (oops!). Plus, I have class from 4-8pm tomorrow night so I can’t go get it after work (ouch!).

Fear not! Fear not! This is FedEx, not EMS! LOL I gave them a call and they’ll intercept and hold the package at a FedEx location close to my office, so I can go pick it up during lunch break YAY! ^___^

Bon-chan, please expect a knock on your front door around 8:30pm Thursday night! LOL

I went to have my right foot check up yesterday, it’s been bothering me on and off for over two months now. Basically I have ‘plantar fasciitis’ or in normal human language; ‘heel pain’, which is a pretty common foot problem.

My doctor taped my foot up and gave me a ‘night boot’ to wear while sleeping. Very uncomfortable. I kicked it off after only an hour LOL The pain did get better though, hopefully it’ll be gone for good!

My left pinky is in trouble.

Almost two weeks after getting an iMac, I’m now having severe problems with keyboard shortcuts!

When I’m on a Mac, I press [Control] instead of [Command] because I’ve been using control key ever since I got my first computer. However, when I’m on a PC, I keep hitting [Alt] key instead of [Ctrl] because I started getting used to a Mac keyboard! Sweet!

My poor left pinky is definitely confused! LOL

It was so nice to see some thoughts regarding my previous post. Thanks for the comments~ I realize it’s not easy talking about this stuff in public, which is why I really appreciate your feedbacks. m(_ _)m

B-san asked me a couple days ago: what did you expect from a post like this?
My answer was: I just hope whoever comes across that post does read it.

Of course, those tips are just my opinions, I might be wrong, I might be right, it’s up to each person’s POV. I rather think of it as something to think about. Especially when we’re in a community where each member should be considerate of others (emphasis on eyesight, (in)sanity, and emotional stress XD)

BTW, I don’t expect these annoying things to all of a sudden disappear from the fandom, that’s impossible. And seeing a series of emoji in every sentence recently still made me snort. My poor nose~ XDD However, a slight improvement will be considered a success! *crosses fingers*

After all, Rome was not built in one day.
