JOURNAL: OtakuForLife (Brian Auxier)

  • What the hell happened 2003-09-15 23:04:18 I thought I was going to-do my college work today ,but, no turned
    out everyone was celebrating something today and all decided
    to do-it today. One, my Brother finaly got his full-eagle he's a
    sgt in the mililtary. Two, my friend Dave got out of the ACI by
    proving the charges false againist him. Three, John (SPAF) wanted
    to come over and party. Then finally stacy show up to do homework
    this wirlwind of activty basically left me doing absoulty none of
    my homework. Which mean basically I have to work on it like a dog
    tomarrow. Oh, yeah we decided after not making a MST3k Pardoy
    of hellsing (Damn Shinji's still barrowing it from me) We decided
    to watch the A.D classic Plastic Little. Yeah for guns and fanservice
    that was pretty much the aim of this Movie. There's at least 10 breast
    shots and enough overkill of gunfire. Back on the AMV front my AWA submissions
    are still going to run without me and I'm supposed to get a status report
    after the con to see how they where recieved (This outta be interesting).
    I'm up agianist the masters and I hope at-least the audience dosn't,
    just sit there and have shocked/confused/annoyed reactions like
    my Otakon Submission (Damn it Janet) did. Well, that's it off to pay a
    30 an hour to and 1 hour of Subspace(c) , love 17th parrell zone. Yes,
    my AMV new is on temp-hold untill I catch up on the massive amount
    of homework that is now ganging up on me.

    I'll write more tomarrow , Love & Peace!


     
  • Last night.... "I cast a spell" (j/k) 2003-09-15 07:40:22 Last night as usall I played second edtion DnD with my friends
    playing my Half-Jamican Elf Mage/Fireworks Alcemist.
    Description: She has Turcose eyes, blond dreds, Tan skin and
    wears a trench coat of holding , combat boats, fighting gloves,
    and stained glass shades. She uses a firwork gun ( a rifle) for her attacks
    and a large firework cannon (more like a bozaka). So, I'm finnaly
    getting my special formulas (Delay Blast, Concussion, Flash, Magically Armor Perising) and I can cast spells into my rounds as
    a class skill.. yeah I'm a total geek :). But, anyway last night was
    fun, beside waking up to my mom yelling about the lack of
    towels in the house at 6:30 am. When I don't have to be up till 9:00 am
    and my AWA submissionscame in yesterday (I'm so happy). Hopefully
    someone will tell me how they where received. I hope they won't
    remove them if I'm not there :(.

    That's it for today

  • Not much happened today - But last night that's different 2003-09-13 11:55:29 Last night I when't to my firend Ian's last night a moderated BESM (c)
    This is why I didn't get as much storyboarding done as I wanted to.
    However, I got to see a preview of SPAF new amv it's eva ,but, got
    to agree the guy has gotten alot better :) I can't wait for it to be finished.
    So, I can post it to all of you ... so you can see what I saw last night .
    Anyway, today nothing much happened, storyboarding, homework and
    breaking AMV'er block by making my odd little snood AMV. I figured the
    snood juckies at the local universitys deserved a little tribute vid :).
    Well, that's about it I'll write more tomarrow, the forums call to me.....

    yes master!




     
  • 2003-09-12 15:31:16 Everthing seems to happen on the bus to class, this time I ran into my
    slightly annoying friend John of SPAF productions. He was appearantly
    headed for his ASFAB testing to-go back into the military. Hopfully,
    he'll finish his Lit - Eva AMV and pay me the $20 he owes me before he
    goes into active service. Tonight starts the storyboarding for Love Hina
    - Hold on little girl. At this point I've acually been calling it Hold On
    Naru a catchy title really. Hopefully I can make a decent AMV that will match
    it's catchy title. People might be a like freaked out by Kietaro lip snyced
    to MR. big ,but , whatever they seemed to deal with him singing the lead
    in Damn it Naru pretty well. Speaking of editing I plan on using 24 fps instead
    of my normal 29 fps I think it's a little easier to avoid the dreaded *clip
    flashs or ghosting*. Anthor, thing I wanted to-do for the ORG required
    me to use my FireWire cable to capture footage form my PS2. Unfrountantly,
    the AMV.org guide for Ripping Ps2 footage proved useless when there links
    didn't work at all. What else? ... no confirmation from animix until Sinju
    gets back on monday and still no news from AWA , I'm going to lose my nerve
    soon with them :(. Well, at-least I have nice weather today :)  
  • Meeting People 2003-09-11 12:12:44 Today on-the-way to my afternoon classes riding on the local RIPTA bus I made a new friend. The guy across from me was wearing a Witch Hunter Robin t-shirt (damn I wish I had more cash). Somthing that screamed otaku right away sense the show isn't even on American DVD yet. So after a breif discourse about the show's American Release Date and Otakon X good and bad points

    Bad points:
    (The crowds size this year, Dealers room line)

    Good Points:
    (MST3k, Midnight Hentai Heckling, X:Y fan parody, Real Rpg)

    I gave him my information and told him of my perticpation on the ORG.
    After he left is question soon entered my mind " am I the only RI-based
    AMV group" I know I live ina small state but gezz not that small :).
    Anthor question came to mind "If there was a small anime con in
    RI would alot of people goto it". I thought probally on the second question
    if they remember that RI is a state at-all. Speaking of minor problems
    the Animix people still can't find my track 66 and gave me a bad FTP to send too for this time around. Oh, well they must have alot going on or
    somthing... ironically enough the track is called "no guranty" which is pretty much what their chances of finding it on there own are. Also,
    AWA refuses to send me confirmation on the 3 AMV's I sent in
    for there open contest a month back... People are really starting
    to tick me off, Oh well at least I made a new friend and that's always good. Time to-go rant on the forums I feel much better now.
