look out for...

march issue of Newtype-USA magazine, they printed out my letter i turned in unexpectedly.. remember i was ranting about my teachers how they look down on anime? yup.. i made the cut heheh =P

ART-TEACHER OPPRESSION:  "im attending art school and i'd just like to take a moment to rant about my instructors. they keep complaining about how 2D art is suffering because 3D is totally kicking ass and taking over the animation world, and then they look down on anime! (You'd think they'd love it, being 2D.)  one time i was presenting my story concepts in class and i mentioned that my work was influenced by anime. at first my instructor was like, "you're not gonna put anime in your story, are you?"  in my head i thought, "what the hell does that mean?!" it's true  that i love anime with a passion and i'm influenced by it, but its not like im biting off their style, this isnt just one instructor i'm talking about--in fact, i know four teachers that look down on anime. little do they know that most of these people at school that are majoring in animation and game art design were inspired by japanese art and anime in the first place. without them, they wouldnt have a job! - Jen B. - Moreno Valley, CA

Well i hate the fact that they re-edited my letter but its ok, i permitted them to clarify my frustrations =P so thank you Newtype USA for exposing my letter, i hope in some way, one of my teachers would come across this magazine and come into their senses.

QotD: Good On A Cold Day

What food or drink do you love when it's cold out?  (Recipes and recommendations, please!)

simple.. green tea and miso soup. theres this really good+high quality green tea bags @ costco and theyre really expensive cuz they all come in a big box that probably contains like 100 tea bags.. the bag comes in a thin nylon bag and theyre really made from a japanese tea herb.. i forgot who told me but the jp lady who works @ a sushi place recommended me for that.. now i dont make miso soup, but you can get like pre-made bags that comes in boxes @ trader joe's.. but i love to eat clam chowder.. you know who has the best clam chowder that you can get from a fast food? .... YOSHINOYA! =D

note: recommended for people who have limited times for themselves.

funny pic

imma huge fan of Final Fantasy X and i was looking for a nice wallpaper for my *new* mac mini and i found this crappy assed picture..

it's a fantasy alright haha

honestly, its not crappy, i didnt mind when kimahri wasnt on there, in fact he did a good job blending them together, but i guess i got used to my art-sense at school, i learned to know that if you're designing or incorporating images, and it deals with figures, you're not supposed to place someone's hand on someone's whatever ;P even if you dont intend to place it there, but someone will eventually think the wrong way.. (like i did! haha) its just how it is! man i cant help but laugh at this. hahahah
