I finally pre-ordered KOKIA's 2010 concert DVD! I saw from a blog saying that if you order it later than August 1st, you'll have to wait until August 25th for that to be sent to your home. Oh, my! I don't think I can wait that long!!! I initially wanted to order it later and find if someone who buys it is kind enough rip and upload it. But to be honest, I didn't expect too much (I still didn't find her new mini-album for "Bungaku Shoujo" OVA = =). For me myself, I do would like to keep this DVD as one of my own collection. So I pre-ordered it, with a rather higher handling fee for international shipping because KOKIA's own online shop doesn't send items overseas!!! orz
Well, at least I will have it. So I think I'm still happy.
This month is ending, and I'm also finishing my make-Noriko-Mitose-to-get-1000-plays task (her play count has already been over 1000 right now)! Sounds mad, no? :P
I've gotten a Noriko-fever since "yorlga", which was released in April. My play count of her increased quickly and it has beat Akiko Shikata's. You know? Akiko used to be in my top 8 before I reset my last.fm!! But I just fell in love with Noriko that much. I was even writing "Noriko (Mitose) > Akiko (Shikata)" as my google talk status. XD
Her songs spurred me to draw something. My first inspiration was "cercueil blanc~shiro no hitsugi~", but I found there was something very uncommon, unique and special in her songs, which I can not describe by words well; so what I'm going to draw would be a merged view from several songs of Noriko. Here, there's still one thing I want to specially mention. Before I just thought it was beautiful, but I've never loved that like this. I looped it for almost 30 times in a day, and I could still keep looping, really. I stopped because someone was asking me about the lyrics of another song, so I had to cut my loop…
…
I mean "Phill", a mini-album by Noriko Mitose under the "ORITA". For my own convenience, I just tagged them with her name. Thus, all her play counts on last.fm won't be separate.

I should write some review for Noriko soon. There is also the last piece of liner notes of "Yorlga" to be released. Maybe I will start from "Yorlga", and then talk about other songs generally. However, I'd like to give the link to "Phill" (I love track 4 the most, by the way~).
On this Wednesday, we finished the final course of the EAPG academic writing seminar. I like the instructor, Mr. G., and I learned a lot to improve my writing. I know I still need enough practice, but those tips/points are very helpful. At the final course, we went to have dinner together, and talked.
It was so lucky that another girl and I brought our cameras with us. So we were able to take photos. Although there were only two pictures we took that night, they were enough to keep the memory in my mind. Sometimes, only one is enough, really.
I restructured my blog back to what it looked like at the very beginning, that is, I de-used google site for non-blog contents and just linked several blogs posts as web pages…
Because I was having issues on google page, it couldn't give me the same web page width, yet what I can modify was nothing but the width parameter!! Really, google site isn't a fun place to play around. It lacks tons of customizable elements, it doesn't support javascripts and some html codes, it even not possible to own a three-column layout!
Man! I want a real web site, not a self-made wiki. I thought I'd better move back to blogger – my free heaven. I think you might know the rest story, repost, copy-paste, format, … I've got enough lessons from it, I really won't change it again! = =||
Finally, I'd like to say what just happened yesterday. I couldn't upload on wordpress or mediafire with my laptop, it gave me an "IO error", but my netbook works fine. I searched online and asked others, but the problem was not solved. I checked my hard disk, no working. I tried to update java, and finally found java itself seemed to be dead!
Had no other ways, I opened the control panel, and uninstalled some not-in-use programs just for fun, while wondering "deleting them would help my current issue". Those softwares and plugins are used for WMP to support flac, ape, and similar files. And after restart, everything worked. Uploading, java updating, and my foobar-gtalk plugin.
Funny issue, indeed. Also, WMP, I finally know how you're utterly rubbish!! OTL
Just a final reminder, I need to add proper tags to my blog posts soon…
