I've been feeling so very blah these few days. I swear I'll get to replies and all the projects I've promised!!

For now, before I go take a nap and maybe try to be productive when I get up, I will share Silly Girl's writing piece because omg it is the most hilarious thing I've ever read.

( KAMEN -- I MEAN, ENGLISH RIDER!!! )

Now, I leave you loves with two things: a list and a captioned picture.

List:
--Persona 4 Drama CD 2 translations
--Project for niichan
--Stormy stuff



Ogu: And that ends our live footage of a Pervert's Bar.

Naptiem brb.

/o\ /o\ /o\ - First, a JTE canceled a first-year class in the first period, because he wanted to do more Grammar lessons with them. Awesome, right? WRONG. One of my second-year JTEs revealed that the periods have switched - my lesson with her was now in the first period and it's with the entire class of 40 students, not the usual 20, because the other JTE was late this morning. (This matters, because the activities I plan are for 20 kids; it meant that I had to do some fast rearranging.) Now, the JTE who was late this morning tells me she wants to have TT class in the last period. What is this, let's throw Aki out of the loop day? orz

♥ - A huge kudos to a P4 English dubbing team over at Voice Acting Alliance! They're working on a full project of the first Persona 4 Drama CD and have completed track one. (Direct link to Youtube coming up.) They did a great job for amateur VAs, and Teddie, oh my god. He sounds almost exactly like Teddie's original VA. And I'm not going to lie; I'm pimping this partly because I'm so excited and honoured that they used my English transcript as a basis for the recording. I've never had any of my works used in this fashion before, so. just. Happiness. I definitely can't wait to hear more tracks soon.

♥ - For pink_tofu, Arashi building a house together. I hope it's to your liking, love. ^^;;

( 'I bought a half-acre of land,' Ohno repeated, 'And I want us to build a house on it.' )

It's still the 25th in America Land, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHO. ♥ And Silly Girl. XD She went around reminding everyone it was her birthday yesterday.

The ELT concert was fun! ( It had its disappointing moments... )

Okay, so um. This is embarrassing, b-but um. I'm on a huge Gundam Seed/Destiny kick again, but unfortunately, I had lost everything when my old laptop crashed a few years ago, so um.

Can anyone point me to Gundam Seed/Destiny radio dramas and/or radio shows?

I don't remember if all of them were ever translated or not, but I will so do translations as a thank you. o/

xehuei pointed out that she found out what Aiba said through reading studio reports of Shukudaikun on Japanese blogs. I went on some sleuthing of my my own and indeed, not only did I find blogs reporting it, there were blogs referring to the blogs reporting it... to the point where, if you google the porn keyword that Aiba said, there's actually links to blogs talking about Aiba and Shukudaikun lolll.

GETTING TO THE POINT.



( Here is the porn that Aiba shared with Ohno and Sho )

Dirty porn aside, my greatest triumph: getting a girl and a guy (from different classes) who usually look completely dead in class to actually smile and enjoy lessons. \o/

And now, back to working on that fic~

a;slfkj fell asleep in the kotatsu and woke up in time to catch:

( Shukudaikun: the truth about the video Sho borrowed from Ohno )

I will get to replies and translations tomorrow. *sheepish*

Original link provided by yamakaze067, alert by aishoni.

T-The title doesn't indicate that there will be rape in the film. It's actually asking whether the movie adaptation will be a raped (ie, twisted) version of the original. ^^;;

A translation of the Cyzo article:

( Well, we can't possibly stay completely true to the manga. )

I like this article because it voices all my concerns for this movie adaptation perfectly. ^^;; Except the Nino bit, though he could be a little taller. *ducks* What do you guys think?

Reminder: Helping the help_haiti cause Arashi style, as explained here. This is my thread. Offering translations (of anything, not just Arashi!) and crack fic (again, of series I'm familiar with).

Oh-Oku 大奥



I've been neurotic all weekend, so instead of showing potential crazy to the choir kids today, I stayed in to read the Oh-Oku manga by Fumi Yoshinaga, also known as the artist for Antique Bakery.
Read it partly because I was curious about Nino's upcoming movie, and partly because my good friend had talked about it as the most recent grand prize winner of the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize.

I know there's folks on my f-list who would prefer watching movies without learning about the original text, so DO NOT ENTER THE CUT IF YOU WON'T WANT SPOILERS.

Synopsis:
Oh-Oku is a historical science fiction story that takes place in an alternate history version of feudal Japan, where a strange epidemic has killed off a significant amount of males. This has led to a matriarchal society where women outnumber men by 4 to 1. Thus, the shogun, who is typically male, is now female, while the harem of women (Oh-Oku) has now turned into a harem of men. They serve as "seeds", breeders for the shogun heir.

Haven't watched Sho's drama SP yet. How was it?

[edit] Helping the help_haiti cause Arashi style, as explained here. This is my thread. Offering translations (of anything, not just Arashi!) and crack fic.

( Saigo no Yakusoku SPOILERS ABOUND )

I'll get to replies tomorrow. m(_ _)m

Are you trying to breed legal pedophilia asdlf;kj wryyyyyyy.

A colleague gave me the geekiest thing ever today and I adore him for it. Pictures tonight! o/

I don't remember this Music Station interview at all asl;kj. Found on arashi_on here:

( Sho & Ohno encounter molesters, while Nino is... well. )

And my absolutely favourite part of Shukudaikun:



( No, not the ohmiya, but I'm so curious to know what Nino's shirt says )

And stolen from omnipresentdmat:

LOVE AND ADORATION MEME! ♥

If you want, pass this on in your own journal!

I'm looking at you loves!

The one on the left's from Silly Girl (SG), the right a wonderful surprise from another student, K. Both in English! It's so, so sweet, they both draw so well, and I've never been happier. <333

♥ - Had a great 3 days with gaieios; best home-cooked food I've had for a while. *___* Besides amazing cooking, he also got me a fountain pen and canvas wallet/tissue holders that his talented friend printed:



Tell me that isn't awesome, people.

We also watched the movie: Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva.

( Layton movie review -- warning for potential spoilers and geekiness )

And now, I'mma get some laundry done. I swear I'll get to replies soon, but I do hope everyone is having a lovely start to the year! ♥

By the way, I love you guys. I really do. <3 Thank you.

Okay, post dump before the new year's!

First up, Tokudane picspam!! I know someone has translated it already, but the Junotshi-ness and the conversation is so awesome, I have to work on this one. ;o;

Last but not least,

It's still early, but I may not have time otherwise so,

Happy New Year, loves!! ♥

HAPPY BIRTHDAY still_ciircee!! ♥ What would you like, dearest??

Thanks to ichigo_umai on here,

( Arashi's appeal (Mezamashi TV's 500 people survey) )

I only did the appeal ranking. :D; Also, I got more Yama Pair doujin, so I will hopefully have pictures and summaries of those on here soon. o> A-And because I haven't done this for a while:

the END OF THE YEAR meme


PS: Glee/Arashi fic still in progress! *ducks Zel's slave-driving whip*

In the latest Shukudaikun, Sho thinks Ohno fits as the third member of Shizuru, so Nino asks them to eat the hot pot and share their thoughts as one.



( I love the gradual height raise. They did it so naturally. XD )

2 more days~! Happy OT3 holidays, loves~

Thank you, loves, for the well wishes in the last post. Cough is slowly getting better. <33

Love from Okinawa~



angelamori: I got the CD, thank you so much! <3

hemisofia: The card omg I love the card as;lkjdf ♥!!!

I hope everyone's warm and healthy!

PS: One more day to sei_shoku's fanfic contest!

I saw mommy
kissing Santa Claus

PPS: List of movies to watch
-Nodame Cantabile The Movie Part One (*___* ♥!! review to come, maybe)
-One Piece Strong World
-Professor Layton and The Eternal Diva (geek I am, I've already bought Luke's notebook from the merchandise counter *weeps*)

The one time I want to look at porn, my colleagues kept coming over to ask questions. WHICH I AM OKAY WITH j-just. No porn post for me. ;o;

Instead, have a crack crossover that I blame entirely on dvampyrlestat for the idea and blood_opal for... more ideas. It's not all Ohno as dvampyrlestat love wanted, but it definitely has an Ohno bias - as a belated birthday celebration. ♥ Warnings for OT3!!

Oh, and, my love for minor characters is also painfully obvious. |D;

( Glee/Arashi crossover - I'm so sorry )

And for those who missed it, sei_shoku is having a Special Yuletide Fanfiction Contest!

I saw mommy
kissing Santa Claus

Pimp it out, loves!

( Now w/ Samurai speech, exaggerated actions, Osugi&Pico speech pattern & wrestler mic appeal style )

Japanese delinquent - here
Baby talk & Desperate need for the toilet - here

Lesson planning, what lesson planning?

My excuse: my school laptop is such crap that I can't play Youtube videos, and I'm trying to find clips for the next Writing lesson on movies. I've decided to look for those clips at home, THEREFORE.



( ... Jun baby is so fierce, mommy is scared. :( )

For the Japanese delinquent bit, go here!

I wanted to do more, but I finished Gyoretsu and I had to go pick up The Kid... who thankfully made it here in one piece. XD;

But for now, have my favourite part of the No-Cut SP:

( Talk about whether you prefer dogs or cats in Japanese delinquent style )
