Breakfast

First period is “breakfast” for me, and when I first got the schedule yesterday, it was like “why is breakfast on this class schedule?” I found out that it just means you don’t have to be in school for that period. But it would be interesting to have an actual breakfast class. Just like how I joke about having a lunch class because “lunch” is on the schedule and has an assigned room as well (the cafeteria, although we don’t have to stay in there). Yeah. Anyway, today didn’t seem as long of a day as yesterday, probably because I got to go in at around 9am instead of 8:13 like yesterday. Some of the people in my grade have gym at zero period (starts at like 7:30 or something), and I felt lucky that I didn’t have gym in my schedule. But unfortunately, when the second semester starts, apparently we’ll be having gym and they don’t.

First day of school

Today was a bad first day. Well, not so much of a bad first day as it is a bad rest-of-the-year. The biggest change is the addition of 10th period classes (we used to have only 8 periods a day, with the occasional 9th). Normal school dismissal time was at around 2:15, but now with all these classes and 10th period, my school day ends at almost 4pm. I guess the only good news about that is that I get to start school at around 9am (an hour later than previous years). Lunch got pushed forward to 10:30am, which is weird because who eats lunch at 10:30 in the morning anyway? In any case, since school ends at around 4, that’d be five and a half hours without eating stuff, so most people are probably going to get hungry again. Now that I think about it, there’s too much stuff for me to complain about, and I don’t really feel like doing that now, so I guess I’ll just leave it at that for the moment.

Anyway, the drawings and handwriting in the flash might look a bit different because I’m on my laptop now, and I’m using a smaller wireless mouse, so it feels different.

Winn‘s Nitori EWI video! Complete with jetpacks and flashbacks. Awesome as always. This video was also sort of discussed in yesterday’s post’s comments, so you can just copy/paste your comments over if you want. In other news, happy Labor Day to people in the US! It’s also, for some people (like myself), the day before school starts! Hooray, school.

Yesterday, I got a package of gifts from my friend in Japan! It’s a bunch of Touhou stuff from Reitaisai and Comiket earlier this year. It came in one of those regular white mail packets (regular except for the fact that it was a Japanese packet), but inside the packet was a gold-colored bag with the rest of the stuff inside. I took pictures with my dad’s camera, which you can see above.

There was a gold Omekashi bag, a blue Cirno plastic bag, a Maikaze music CD (well, it actually has 2 CDs), an art book, a book of lineart from the art book, a plastic rectangle thing with a picture of Cirno and a drink, a plastic Cirno keychain, a Youmu badge, and a letter. Very cool stuff. The art book is a collection of drawings and stuff from various artists, with Touhou characters wearing modern clothes. There were also some short comics in the book, apparently about Marisa starting a Gensokyo fashion show, which I guess sets up the artwork-based portion of the book (Scans can be found in a zip file here).

I still haven’t removed the Cirno keychain and Youmu badge from the plastic wrappers, but I probably will when I find some place to put them. I’ll probably put the keychain on my keys, because that’s what keychains are supposed to be for, right? Probably. Anyway, yeah… really nice stuff.

Added Rin Kaenbyou (Orin) to create.swf, along with a wheelbarrow, a skull, a ghostly blue aura, a gravestone, and a graveyard background. Oh yeah, and I guess what you’d call “NotOrin” the cat. Not sure if Thefre had any updates planned this week, but I haven’t gotten them, so I guess it’s just this stuff for now.
