My trip to Japan! Booked! Finally! After a whole night of negotiating through flight timings and how to get from here to there and credit card billing issues and things like failed payment verification and a cancelled booking and worries about it being double payment and GAH will die serious until about 2am.

I, uh, complained about it to one of my listeners yesterday night, and LOL we ended up talking until 5.30am. This morning. And we stopped only because he had to get to school (I wonder if he managed to stay awake...?) and so I headed to bed (on the most comfortable armchair EVER) for 2 hours before I had to get up for work. Thus, majorly sleep deprived today.

Probably hyper, too. Because of the sleep deprivation.

( Schedule etc. )

Long, really really REALLY long time since I last posted or...did anything about this space. Gah.

But lots of things happened in the interim; I started posting utattemita on Nicovideo, and, uh, doing namahousou, and I have listeners now. LISTENERS. And then my lyrics file got wiped because I was too rough on the hard disk I keep it and all my music and everything in. Which meant I had to start over, arrrrrrrrgh.

So, yeah, that Alice in Musicland color-coded lyrics? Not coming anytime soon, bleh.

I do want to restart my lyrics stuff, though, since because of namahousou I have been romanising plenty of songs just so I don't panic too often when the lyrics on ニコカラ go by too fast for me to read *coughCyberThunderCider3331outofedencough*. I do backup my files now (oh dropbox, you're a lifesaver), so no more worries about everything being wiped if I drop my hard disk. Again.

I'll do a post this weekend on what I've been doing so far, update all the links and whatnot (to my community, singing MyList, twitter, etc.) and maybe revamp the look of this blog~

Oh, and maybe post up some lyrics, too.

It's been quite a while since I last posted, hasn't it? Almost two weeks, in fact. >___< sorry about that, ne?

Have been sick and busy in turns, life has been hectic and gaaaaah I've been off work (due to medical leave and actual leave and public holidays) for 4 days in the last two weeks. Yes, that's about half the time, and three of them this week, too. Bad for my track record ;____; At least nothing went REALLY wrong while I was away~

Other than being sick and sleeping, I've attended a talk, had a doctor's appointment, run some errands (like getting my passport updated and whatnot), went out with family, spent way too much money, recorded a song (which I am going to re-record, I think that what I recorded earlier is crap), watched a lot of namahousou, read a lot of fics... ehehe. Yes, I had some free time, which I did use to romanise quite a few more songs (I think there are about 20 I haven't uploaded yet, so I am working at it just that I'm too lazy to post), including the top songs from the last two to three Vocaloid Weekly Rankings, which means Aa Subarashiki Nyansei, Yumekui Shirokuro Baku, Shiryoku Kensa, Alice in Musicland (which I have no idea if I will even post because that post will be a formatting nightmare), Karakuri Pierrot...

Hah, I'm not even sure if anyone even reads this, since there is this REALLY BAD deficiency of lyrics and anything interesting at all going on right now (and it's kind of new and shiny as well) and I haven't been advertising (really, where can I advertise? If anyone's reading this, please tell me?), but I'll be updating the tags for lyrics that have been in the top 10 of any Vocaloid Weekly ranking with the highest position and the ranking number it was in. That should make it easier if anyone ever wants to find out when and where any song has ranked. I might consider putting a running history, but for those insanely popular songs it might get really messy...hmm, that's an idea I'll sit on for a while.

I'm also thinking about working my way through all the Vocaloid weekly rankings and romanising the songs in them (not all of them, most likely just the top 10), but that is going to be a LOT of work and maybe something to do when I know more people are reading this? Hmm.

...the tags need re-organising, I've been adding tags all over the place, bleh. I've also been tweeting a lot of random in Japanese and replying to utaites, although they never reply back -___-

SO. I slept away the entire weekend, which is absolutely ridiculous. I wanted to update more lyrics and record at least ONE song (although I can't seem to choose a song. Proof of Life (for which I need a Len as I cannot do guy!voice), Canaria (the awaawaP version), Dear, Iroha Uta, Suisou Catharsis (god is that song HARD to do), Kimi Nashi Vision, Mikansei Ningen, Juumensou... the list will never end.), but that didn't happen. Argh.

I did promise to try and upload at least one post every day, and so from today onwards there will at least be one lyrics post a day, with one rambly post (like this one) a week, and, fingers crossed, one utattemita post on weekends. I should have a "I want to sing this" post, with silly comments like "God this one needs superhuman breath control, cannot do, will die", "wtf why is this so high my throat is dyyyyyyying", etc, and then cross off the ones I do record? XD;

Okay, so I'm rambling. That's what happens in all of my blog posts that are not lyrics posts, though. No one's actually reading this, though, but I will do a cut so that it doesn't look awfully odd. Hm, next singing project, I will do the Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica OP and ED, sort of as a test and showing how I can do totally different types of songs. I love Kajiura Yuki's compositions, though they can be impossible to sing sometimes.
