Thanks for dropping a note in my GB... I understand better now the situation,
hope they don't start throwing things at each others (though i have no idea what
a fish could actually throw... maybe i'll have to ask the Monthy Pythons about
it, they'll come up with something for sure ). I
haven't seen the movie, since my brother told me it wasn't so great.
Anyway, i'm doing alright, it's the end of my holidays (let's call it Easter
holiday, though it was only one week, and not for Easter either), so i've been
able to study a bit ... I have exams coming in a little month or so, gotta work hard *puts on the
hachimaki*. I hope your sister's doing good in her studies too (i have to
support fellow med students i guess... you never know who's going to cure you
).
I just bought the Robot artbook (number 1), it just arrived in France, and it's
pretty good. I've seen many Range Murata scans these days (lots by you.... ahah
and i couldn't help but want that new artbook of yours... shame on you for
making me drool over it *grrr*).
Quote by shinsengumi niomea, first,
let me apologize for my extremely delayed response. Things have been a bit
hectic on my end, but as the saying goes, better late than never!
Thank you for your sentiments. Your contributions, particularly in plot
synopses, were always very well-written and as such very much appreciated.
Sometimes I do miss being a moderator and therefore and therefore being able to
interact with dedicated contributors on a regular basis, but at the same time
I'm not sure that I have the willpower, time, or even the desire to do so again.
That said, I'm still around, and do check in at least once a day, though these
days I spend more time browisng the galleries rather than snooping around the
forums or flipping through reviews.
I wish you the best of luck as well, and would like to let you know that your
offer of friendship is most certainly gratefully accepted. Take care, and hope
to continue seeing you around!
Perhaps I'd better start believing that friendship is more a mysterious
chemistry between hearts than a simple linear logic between teo people. I have
always enjoyed reading your reviews. It inspire me to write, and above all else
- I don't know how - continuously invite me to write. Your ideas are remarkable,
and runs really deep. There are numerous time I find myself drifting in my
thoughts as I browse for titles that haven't got a synopses yet, and it brings
me great joy submitting one, knowing that it will end on the desk of my admired
Senpai.
I am still writing synopses even now, but like you said, the fire is not lit as
bright as it used to be. I spend more time taking good care of my Shinigamis in
the group, but Shinsengumi are also well known as the God of Death on earth no?
so
thank you very much for your acceptance. I am looking forward to see where our
thoughts bring us after this.
Feel free to write me if you need anything. Helping a friend would e an honor
for me.
Hi there shinsengumi, thanks for the watch. By the way, thanks for all the help
with Arete. Couldn't have done it without you, you truly did quite well in
bringing all the results in. I'm sorry I couldn't get my scoring sheets on time;
I was away. I only get to read your PM this morning. Sorry about that. But I
really appreciate for what you've done. Thank you!
your too kind comments are very much appreciated. and major cheers to you for
bringing closure to arete. maybe you might enjoy my future amano works i started
before arete, maybe....cheers.
Quote by shinsengumi*feels sudden
urge to listen to Styx*
Hehe, it was my pleasure! Thank you for participating and helping to make this
contest a reality. . . and thanks for being one of the few participants to get
their scoring sheets in =D
No problemo...thanks for the nice comment on the wall and in the competition
hey shinsengumi- i just wanted to stop by and thank you for bringing closure to
Arete. I really appreciate that. Also im glad you posted the autographed Murata
artwork. Strangely, Murata-san is the only one of my favourite artists to which
i do not have an artbook.
thanks for adding me to your watchlist. ^-^ But I also wanted to say thanks for
bringing Arete to its end, even though I was not responsible for the
competition... but it feels good that it's over now... started to feel a little
frustrating. I remember I wrote my comments and scores during a time when I was
rather stressed, and I already thought it would have been for nothing.
I have never been a judge before... so this was a very new, yet interesting
experience for me. It was interesting to see how yours and artgeek's scores and
comments were different from mine. I see... "Amano ladyfan" has been
highlighted. That's probably the best example how different taste can be. I
looked at the wallpaper again... and I still would have given the same scores.
Interesting! As you said... on the other hand some of our scores were almost the
same.
Oh well I am happy that my first judging experience didn't end in a
disappointment so thanks again for doing Omni's work in such a quick time. I
admire your website skills! O_o
So hopefully we'll "meet" again as judges... *lol*... or here on
Minitokyo!
Quote by shinsengumiThank you! It was
really my pleasure!
I think that in judging I've found something I really like doing on MT again. .
. I used to really enjoy the forums, but now I absolutely detest them. Judging
exposes me to the other side of Minitokyo that I never had the time to really
immerse myself into in the past, and I'm finding that I really enjoy
it.
Speaking of which, are all entries in for UA 9?
I understand what you mean about the forums :P I try to post i nthe Sandbox...
but it's really tedious
Nothing really interests either- lol *thinks of all those funny thread
titles*
Unfortunately the UA 9 entries aren't all in, because I added in another theme
(namely trendwhore). I think pretty much all the geometric entries are in.
Activity in UA has been pretty slow lately. Maybe I need tactics...
*contemplates*
Quote by shinsengumiFisrt post! As I
noted in my Arete comments. . .
Simple and clean, elegant and effective. This entry certainly makes for a very
good wallpaper, and the idea of drawing the pattern on the kimono into a tree
that blossoms from the flowers in the subject's hair is extremely novel, making
very creative use of elements of the scan and weaving them into something
completely different.
Kudos to misa for being able to flesh out so whimsical and imaginative a
concept!
Teehee thanks for the comments and taking the initiative of organising the final
commenting and scores of Arete!
Quote by MasterDiablovn_So nice,
this poster at DPG is too large (6000x4186) so I can't upload it I wish I could buy an Artbook too, but I'm living in Viet Nam
so it's imposible
I shrank the DPG scan down to size because I was getting
the same "image is too large" error when I tried to upload it earlier.
Anyhow, I purchased the Wani Special Limited Edition of form|code, which is
signed and numbered by Range Murata. It set me back by 19,450 yen, but was
definitely worth every last cent.
Unfortunately, because Wani only published as many copies as there were
pre-orders, it's extremely difficult to find copies of form|code now. Your best
bet is to wait for the normal (non-limited) edition, which will be coming out
soon.
_Wow that's cool .. But even though, I can't buy the Artbook, I said it before,
I'm living in Viet Nam, there's no Artbook here. I wish I could buy one too OH
LIMITED EDITION!
Time sure flies when we are cruising the real world isn't it? But it's faster
when it comes to lose a friend. It was only yesterday that I sent my synopsys
and chatted with you, but surely, browsing stories is much more quiet without
you around.
However, time is flowing eternally in our heart, and I do wish that we can
remain friends even after your retirement. There are plenty of interesting
thoughts from you that I always admire, and I wish that I am permitted to still
be able to see it coming from you in days to come.
Wishing you the best luck in your real life and on the net, please accept my bow
of friendship.
How's it going? You've been very quiet since your retirement. I hope you didn't
actually turn old and decrepit. =P
Anyways, I promised to let you know about my college decisions. I've been
putting off telling you because I couldn't decide where to go until tonight.
Georgetown University Class of 2010. Hoya Saxa!
So I'll be staying close to home. But I think it'll still be a great experience
since I don't think anyone from my school is going to Gtown.
The other schools I got into were NYU Stern, UVA, and UMD College Park (for full
Banneker/Key Scholarship). So it was a tough choice. But I realized this week
that I'm not ready to commit myself 100% to just business and that I'd like to
explore other things in college. Nonetheless, I'd still like to have a good
school with a good reputation to help bolster my resume when I look for jobs and
internships. So I felt that Georgetown was the best choice. That, plus I loved
the campus.
That's basically the run down. It's probably much less exciting than your
experience, Ivy League and all. But hey, maybe I'll get another shot for my MBA,
though maybe I'll go out west for that.
Hey there Shin-san how're things going with you? Classes not too stressful? (I
hope!) If I remember correctly you'll be graduating soon? I've still got another
semester to go, but I'll probably stay for the full year and take full advantage
of my scholarship... Did
you have a nice Spring Break? Well, just thought I'd stop by, say hi, and see
how you were doing! Take cares!
Quote by shinsengumiHehe! Looks like
they finally acted on my suggestions and have gone ahead and knocked your
username sideways! I love the italics, misa, they're well-deserved. Take care,
and see you around!
Lol (-^^-);; Thanks so much shinsengumi
*sends a hug across the internet*
Konnichiwa desu, Shinsengumi-sempai. I was just wondering about the MT control
panel contest; it should be over by now right? Are you still in charge of this
even after your retirement? Or has someone else taken over?
When are we gonna know the results? When will the winners be applied to the
control panel options? Are all the icons gonna be the same? Do you support
Commodore Perry? Why do pancakes grow on trees?
Hello! I´m new here and i don´t
understand how I can make to create a reviews that everyone can answer and
another question as how I can notify an image that this in one category
mistaken
oh sorry, I'm not too familiar with this site, I just sent those synopses to the
link that was posted on each page. I didn't save copies of my own. If it's not a
pain, could you either FWD them back to me or to the proper person.
Well, I installed Oblivion- the intro and everything went well until I tried to
play it. Basically, everything's white. I can see a few outlines of some shapes,
but everything else is white. Basically I think it's not liking my video card;
it's a Radeon 9000- the game install guide says it only supports 9500 and up for
Radeons. I'll try re-installing DirectX and the other obvious stuff, but I might
be in the market for a new video card. Given my motherboard, I might be in the
market for a new computer altogether
Of course, if I'm already considering dumping big money into a high-end
videocard, I could just say "In for a penny, in for a pound" and go
for a new laptop- think it'd work? lol
So how's retirement? BTW check out the mod forum, I've been busy
Ciao!
Hey yo Shin. How's college so far?
I hope you haven't forgotten me because you most likely did. xP
Anywho, thanks for helping me last year with that project.
And oh yea, you gave up being a mod? Good choice. It takes too much work.
Shinsengumi i appreciate your reply but i have learned about the patriot act, i
had to do a 6 page report on it, and i do understand the basics of the act. I
may not know as much as you on the subject does not make me ignorant. And on the
point of you telling me " do not swallow what you hear from friends" i
would like to say this: i am not a Naive little boy who just takes one opinion,
I am someone who reads books in libraries, listens to NPR Radio and strives for
a better understanding of life. I appreciate both sides of an opinion but choose
my own. I even at the age of 15 went door to door campainging for John Kerry, i
did this on my own accord not on someone else telling me to.
Thank you for you comments shinsengumi, but do not Judge who you do not know.
Sorry to inconvenence you.
