Cover ~ Aoi Teshima/Tales from Earthsea "Teru no Uta"

I've always found the music in Studio Ghibli movies to be among the best soundtracks I've heard, and Tales from Earthsea did not disappoint. "Teru no Uta" is absolutely beautiful in its simplicity, particularly when pared down to a single piano accompaniment. I cannot ever hope to match Aoi Teshima's beautiful rendition, but the song moved me so much I was compelled to make my own cover of it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Outfit Post ~ Waltzing in the Park

The Midwest Lolita Megameet was a couple of weekends of ago, and it was an absolutely fun time! We were in a new location this year, and I think it overall worked out pretty nicely. The weather was lovely, and it seemed like everyone had a good time.

Blobtoon #19 ~ Bon Odori!

I went to the local Mitsuwa's Bon Festival for the first time in a couple of years, with a few of my friends who I met through Lolita, and had such a blast! We entered the yukata and cosplay photo contest, ate shaved ice and takoyaki, and best of all, we all actually joined in the dance!! \(^o^)/

Blobtoon #18 ~ Puddle Stompin'

I'm siiiiiii~~~ngin' in the rain...

Rain always reminds me of yellow rain hats. I never had an actual rain hat, but I did have a hat of similar shape and color as part of my school uniform in Japan, and it always reminds me of walking to and from school. And that time that a big black dog chased me and I tried to fend it off with my Hello Kitty umbrella. Good thing I was a fast sprinter back when I was little...

Blobtoon #17 ~ Public Transportation ~_~

The bus I ride regularly to rehearsals has been super-crowded lately, for reasons I have yet to figure out. Also, I am too short to hold onto the overhead bars/straps, and just tall enough for everyone's backpack/bag to be the right height for whacking me in the face. YAY X)

Blobtoon #16 ~ TraLaLaLaLaaaa!

I've been spending more time doing musical things lately (before tech week for Coppelia took over my life), and really been enjoying it a lot. I've bought myself a pink ukulele and learned to play it, and recently come up with my own piano + vocal arrangements of a couple of songs, as well as guitar + vocal arrangements for some others. And of course one or two with the ukulele (although I sure wish it would stay in tune better). Yay music!

Blobtoon #15 ~ How Do I Into Apartments?

I had forgotten how much I hate apartment-hunting, since I've lived in the same one for a couple years now. But now I need a new one, and once again, the painful process ensues T_T

Boi~oi~oi~oi~oing...

Our second exercise in children's illustration was the creation of transformation books. These are simple 3-page books built around the concept of [equilibrium --> disequilibrium --> equilibrium].

This was directly after the stenciling exercise, so we were instructed to make use of that technique to some extent in the creation of our books.

When we presented our books to the class, we did it with sound effects for each page, rather than using words to describe/tell the story. So I will proceed to attempt a recreation of my sound effects through text here!

1. Boing ... Boing ... Boing ... Boing ... Boing ...

2. Boingboingboingboingboingboingboingboing... ... HMM?

3. BoingBOING! BoingBOING! BoingBOING! BoingBOING! BoingBOING!

I definitely had a lot of fun making this little book. Also, it's my first book! Haha the sound of that feels a little funny to say ^_^

Blobtoon #14 ~ In a Manatee State of Mind

Oh, to be a manatee... Spending my days floating up and down, napping, and eating seaweed off other manatees' backs... Actually, I just think manatees are really cute and lovable o(*w*)o
