( TRIGUN MOVIE TRAILER )

I did not ask about Meryl and Vash costantly making out because I did not have easy running access to the mic. But Carolyn agreed that they are so canon. And that was enough for me. (:

IT'S TIME TO START SCHEDULE ANIME EXPO. FO REALS.

Tentativity is rampant! Please offer opinions!

( schedule schedule schedule )

Last night I bought a really freaking sweet pocket watch off ebay ($10 shipped, yeah boy) for my Gambino cosplay.

( See pictures under the cut! )

Now if I only had a gun to shoot at it. Hahaha. Nah. It'll probably break on its own.

I'm still waiting on propsmaker Ai no Kaku to email me pics of the G bracelets, buckle and pin I commissioned from her. Granted, she has been ill so I'm not really holding much against her, and she says she's really proud of the work she's done, and from what I've seen she does pretty good work, so I'm optimistic.

In other news, I finally found audition information for Antigone at Willamette!

( See below. )

I'm currently thinking something of Jocasta's from Oedipus as I want to get the role of Ismene and both those characters plead for peace and inevitably fall. I'm not sure though. Jocasta is obviously more mature... I'm also going to look at some things from Medea and Aeschylus's stuff as I have those in my anthology of drama.

As for the song, maybe "One Day I'll Fly Away" (a capella)? I do love that song, and I can sing it pretty dang well. It also got me into Anything Goes my freshman year of high school. Sooo. We'll see. Yay for having all summer to work!

Speaking of which, I applied for a job at Subway this summer, which is all well and good, but I haven't heard back from them. I need to contact the acting coach at Willamette and schedule a meeting at some point during the summer to discuss which classes I should take and how to set up my specialized voice-acting formula, but I need to know when I will be free before I can do that...

Here are the classes I'm currently considering taking, though. I wish I could take the first second-year course of Japanese but it's at the same time as my Voice/Acting classes,so I'm considering just taking the society/culture course and then taking the second first-year course in spring term to brush myself back up on the language. The culture class currently shows up as being closed but apparently they add another class if enough people request that class. (or I could be waitlisted). I'll add a little note about this when I submit my prioritized list of classes.

THTR 150-01 (.50) Voice/Movement I MW 09:10a-10:10a
THTR 140-01 (1.0) Acting I MWF 10:20a-11:20a
PHIL 110-03 (1.0) Philosophical Problems MWF 01:50p-02:50p
THTR 110-01 (1.0) Thtr: a Contemp Intro. TTh 09:40a-11:10a
JAPN 201W-01 (1.0) Mod Japanese Society TTh 12:50p-02:20p
MUSC 034X-01 (.25) Dramatic Vocal Arts TTh 02:30p-04:30p

Heyyy soo.
Long story short.

I'm transferring to Willamette University for fall semester 2009. Because:

1. More challenging coursework, so
a. I will learn, and
b. I will actually want to go to class sometimes. (WHAT?)

2. The theatre community there is very small (about 30-40 students total), so
a. They will actually want me to be there,
b. I will actually be able to make legitimate friends,
c. They have more time to help me figure out my voice acting stuffs,
d. THEY ARE SO NICE and
e. They are constructing a huge epic black box theatre where they will be able to do THEATRE IN THE ROUND which is like mi favorito if you know what I mean.

3. The campus is goooorgeeeous. In that...
a. They have a little river running through shaped like a W. You know I love my water features.
b. Apparently there is a duck the size of a goose called "The Lord of the Ducks" who likes to waddle around and look handsome.
c. There are lawn chairs set out everywhere for your relaxational pleasure
d. They have 5-star cuisine. No joke. What is that about? Deliciousness. That's what it's about.
e. Kaneko commons, the place in which I'm hoping to have my dorm, has a swimming pool. Yeah boy. ALSO
f. Apparently some single rooms in Kaneko have their own private bathroom. This is college blasphemy but what do I care? I could shower in peace again!
g. Many more examples of beauty.

4. They are giving me a $13,000 merit scholarship because I am the smarts. So
a. I will feel cool about myself and
b. After need-based aid and Princeton helping out too (Thank you Maxwell) WU may only cost marginally more that SOU which would be laughable considering how lame SOU is...


I am super super super crazy happy about this! YAY! :) Another plus is that Willamette is a private school, which means they've got a schedule which includes a month-long winter break as well as a summer break that starts mid-May and goes until the last few days of August. Which is a big yahtzee for me.

That is all. Please continue to go about your days. <3

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT

Okay so AX was like "Ali is disappointed that Johnny Bosch isn't coming... how can we make her forget about that?"

YASUHIRO FREAKING NIGHTOW THAT'S HOW

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG Yesssss.

"Mr. Nightow and Mr. Nishimura will be joined by two (2) additional members of the highly anticipated 2009 slated TRIGUN movie team, Mr. Shigeru Kitayama and Mr. Noriyuki Jinguji, for a TRIGUN movie panel in which they will talk a bout the various behind-the-scene episodes, from days way back when, and about the experiences they had while in the production stages of the newest TRIGUN movie as well as key points regarding the upcoming film."

OMG YES. THIS IS LIKE THE ULTIMATE AWESOMENESS EVER.

I am HELLA going to that panel and fangirling like I've never fangirled before.
