I got a ticket to NärCon Vinter for Christmas, so I'll be there in February! I'm probably going alone this time as well. The last convention I went to (UppCon 12) I went alone, but it was fun nevertheless and I made some new friends. But if YOU are going there and want to meet, please let me know! :)
I didn't get much else for Christmas btw. A super comfy blanket, slippers, perfume, tobacco (wot), Tekken Tag 2 and candy. That's it! Only thing I really wanted was a NärCon ticket, everything else was just a plus. I'll probably get some more stuff at New Year's though, from grandma^^.
My hair dye arrived in the mail last week and I dyed my hair on Friday. It went very well and I'm extremely satisfied with the result. It's exactly the colour I wanted!
It looks great, right? Here it looks more blue than green I guess, the colour is like teal and it looks different depending on lighting.
Closer look with less lighting, the colour changes slightly!
Saturday, I went to Stockholm to see The Hobbit! Funny thing, when me and my friend arrived at the cinema, we lined up to pick up our reserved tickets (we hadn't payed for them yet). This girl in the line next to us starts shouting "Does anyone want 2 free tickets for The Hobbit?!". My friend immediately reacts, which results with us getting 2 free tickets for The Hobbit! It was at another cinema, but it wasn't far from where we were, so no biggie! Anyway, the movie was incredible, I really loved it. I dare say I liked it more than Lord of the Rings. The first movie in the trilogy is my favourite because it is more adventurey, while the others are more epic with big battles, etc. The Hobbit is more adventure, which is why I liked it more. :)
After The Hobbit, we went out drinking. The weather sucked and my new hair got totally obliterated. It was snowy and windy, and ugh!!
Some weeks ago I cut my bangs by myself and it did not look like I expected. :D At first I thought it looked kinda bad, but meh, it will grow back. Then a few days later while looking at myself in the mirror, I thought, 'hey, my hair kinda looks like Takemasa's (from 己龍/Kiryu) now'. So I thought I would do my hair just like his, because why not?
I first dyed one side black and then yesterday I went to the hair salon to bleach the other side. I've never bleached my hair before (or dyed it in any other colour than black for that matter) so I thought it looked really funny. Here's how it looks.
Anyways, I've ordered 'Special Effects Sonic Green' hair dye, the various results from it looked the most similar to Takemasa's hair. Will probably be dyeing it this weekend or next week, I hope it turns out okay!
I wonder where my Koi No Yokan order is? Deftones released their new album 'Koi No Yokan' 12th November, and I ordered the Limited Edition Koi No Yokan Bundle which includes CD, Lithograph and a T-shirt. I ordered it 14th November I think, but it still hasn't arrived? Should send a mail or call them or something soon...
Hey, I finished Fate/Zero! Kinda disappointed to be honest. I thought that it would be mind-blowing good, looking at the ratings and shit on MyAnimeList. It was good, but it wasn't THAT good. I liked the first half better, I enjoyed the character development between servant and master more than the action, even if the animation was superb. While Fate/Zero is a great example of an anime that focuses on multiple characters, I would've loved if they did it even more with some of the more interesting characters. There was too much focus on Saber, Rider and Archer in my opinion. Would've loved more Caster (this character was my favourite) and Berserker. It's definitely worth a watch though! I did like it. :)
ALSO, my favourite band BabyDollSymphony is releasing their new album December 10th!!! It's their 2nd original album (they've made 2 cover albums as well) and I'm super excited. Although there's no site that ship outside of Japan... So I asked the keyboardist in the band if he was willing to send me a copy, and he said yes. Yay!
