I had a great idea today and couldn't wait to get out of work (English conversation partner - 1 hour, 3000JPY + transportation fee + free drink @ cafe, FTW) to try it out!! I figured, I'm such a clothes whore -- geeze, how am I ever going to get all this back to the states -- and I've got all these great outfits right now, so why not do a little showcase of the various things I wear? ...VIA THE WONDERFUL MEDIUM OF PURIKURA ☆☆

So here is the first of what I hope to make a series (at least until I have to leave Tokyo, boo!) where I'll tell a little story about the outfit and, as much as I can, try to break down the price for you. For the meantime I'm calling it Hachi-Puri for lack of a better name, but if you can suggest a better one I will love you forever, especially if you can incorporate purikura and fashion and/or hachiko and/or shopping into the name ♥♥

In other news... yay for avoiding writing the last six pages of my ten-page classical Japanese poetry midterm paper and a two-page 作文 both DUE TOMORROW.

In other other news, there's a 飲み会 tomorrow, yay~ because I haven't really gone drinking for like two weeks now, what the heck.

I was meaning to post this two weeks ago, gaaah >_< Anyway, this is the first time in four years that I've missed Fanime Con, but it only felt weird for a little while because this Memorial Day Weekend was pretty much the same as every other: crowded venue, badass costumes, stage performances, and overpriced food!

In other news: I've been plowing through SubaSekai but, gaaaawd, my R4 card is a real battery drainer, so half the time I want to play my DS is dead. =( Also, I waste waaay too much time leveling up stupid badges that I don't even like (I think they're called "pins" in English???) just so I can master all of them.

In OTHER other news: Has anyone see the new Youtube video annotations?! Haha, total ニコニコ動画 wannabees~
