Myah myah myahcology
Mankind mya? Très bie~n!
For example magnets, within the sand
The aliens have their Teatime at their branch department on Earth
It’s inconvenient to be small, send out the big ones
Someone, move Battleship Yamato

Please don’t say “You are lazy”
But the truth is, I’m crazy
The swans, I’m sure
Give flutter kicks at a place that you can’t see
I’m instinctively obedient and loyal; I’m well aware of that I get trifled with
Plus my future’s looking bright…
So sometimes, I take a break

The Eternally Young Scarlet Moon

Lyrics: NYO
Composition: ZUN
Arrangement: NYO
Circle: Silver Forest
Adapted from Touhou ~ Embodiment of Scarlet Devil: Septet for the Dead Princess
Oh, I simply drift within time
Am I waiting impatiently for the day when I’ll rest in peace?
Oh, the crimson roses in full bloom in the corner of the ancient castle
Let me fill you with ephemerality and painfulness, and scatter

I woke up around 10am in the morning hearing to MSNBC reporting that the captain from Somalian pirate attack was recovered safely. The hotel maid tried to break into my room twice while I was still in a groggy state. There weren’t any panels that I wanted to attend on Sunday, so I threw on a swimsuit and had my friends crossplay, and we went down to Exhibitors’ Hall to see what loot we can pick up on the final day.

I had to wake up at 8am this morning to get ready for the Cosplay Contest. I can’t believe that it was held in the morning. Ugh, I totally thought it’d be in the evening. Anyhow, I only had an hour’s sleep beforehand since I spent the previous night working on the costume for the contest. The contest went fine. I saw the usual share of good, bad, and mediocre entries. I ended up not winning anything, but it was great to strut around on stage, spreading Touhou to the masses. I even spliced a Satoko laugh into the audio track. I almost lost my balance and fell over in the high-heeled shoes I wore.

That was amazing. Sakura-con 2009 has been great so far. I snapped a bunch of photos of cosplays that I loved and had a handful of people recognize my Nagisa (Clannad) cosplay.
I stayed up all night yesterday trying to create a music track for my Cosplay Contest entry and pick out songs to use for the Karaoke Idol contest. My friends and I made it to the convention center about 15 minutes before registration opened and we were able to beat the crowds and lines. Later I crashed for about three hours in the morning though, because I’d not slept a wink the previous night. Fortunately I didn’t miss much.

I found the ever-elusive 1/8th scale Hatsune Miku from Goodsmile Company. I grabbed one for myself immediately, but there is another one available. Does anyone want me to get one for you? Let me know by e-mail (digitalsekai(at)gmail(dot)com). I don’t know when the other one will be sold out.

Is anyone else going to Sakura-con 2009, in Seattle, Washington, from April 10th through 12th? If so, would anyone be interested in a quick meetup there?
