Never Change

As a new feature I’m going to be looking at magazine scans from the magazine egg, and maybe ranzuki.  From my camera-less ness i can’t really gyaru-fy my blog, so this should make up for it!

For the cover they're showing off some traditional yukatas. I'm not really fond of the text at the bottom.

I decided to make this post originally as a reference to myself only but I realized it might be useful to other people.    This will be regularly updated so keep checking.  If you know any good videos, please let me know and I’ll put them up.

Okay so here’s a post on yesterday.

I woke up after that same dream AGAIN.  WTF?  Again I can’t quite remember.  I took a shower, put on some clothes and ran out the door to catch the #26 bus.   It was late, so I started to panic.   I thought I was going to be late for the AE volunteer orientation meeting at UBC.  I hopped on the #33 to UBC which took a while, and  I panicked more.  I ended up 30 minutes early…

Anyways, while I was there I made some new friend.  Kurlih, Kerri, and Virginia.  They’re all really nice people.   We got to pick our shifts.   I signed up for some more pre convention work at the night market with Kurlih, and she’s going to let me borrow her Ergo Proxy dvd box set.  Can’t wait!  Then we had our orientation of the ubc campus.  Its a lot easier than I expected.

Well that concludes my day~
