Today I... went to an Narration Audition in Shimbashi (Ginza). Very easy, don't care so much if I get it or not, but the money would be nice. :)
Oooh my, the Ginza area just breathes money.  It's all expensive looking business buildings ( all glass windows, bright tiles, those ticket gate like thingies to enter the building,) asurdly priced eating places, Pachinko parlors, and other unsavoury (ie gross) entertainment places.  It also has a million art galleries and museums. (sp?)
   
     After the audition, I got kaiten sushi, and the ran over to a Matisse and Roualt exhibit in the Mitsubishi Building.  The exhibit, was alright.  I prefer Matisse over Roualt, but neither of them are what I would personally purchase.  I don't like the way galleries are lit, I understand the idea of having spotlights, maybe to protect the paintings, and to emphasize the painting.  However, if your gallery is so dark that I can barely see the painting, I think something is being lost here....n'est pas?  And the stuffiness of the whole Art exhibit atmosphere is overly presumptous. 
  Why?  Well, first, no one is allowed to converse above a whisper. Secondly, there is a women employed solely for the purpose of running over if your nose pokes 1 cm over the tape border scold you.  Finally, keeping everything in such darkness make it hard for me to physically SEE the painting?  Um.... missing the point are we? 
  Another factor I dislike about those above points is that they combine to create an atmosphere that is very intimidiating, therefore making the Fine Art world seem elitist, snobby, solely area of the affluent and tasteful.  I disagree with this becaue I think the world of art should be accessible to anyone.  I mean, a picture is worth a thousand words.  ( As cliche as that is.)

After that, I went to the AMT  ( Advertising Museum of Tokyo I believe.... I may be wrong,)  which was GREAT!  Fabulous! Very intersting and informative.  I highly reccomend it!

Finally, I took this long, unessecary way of taking the train ride home.   And that was my day..  Oh and I tested level 2 on the french test of L'Institut on the website, where for 2 weeks I can get lessons.   For 35000 (350 dollars).

P.S. forgive the typos, convoluted sentences, annoying misuse of punctuation, and any strange grammar.  Obviously this wasn't edited.
 

Hello...
I found this on a blog, and it' s true you know.  Obviously the author is being very pessimistic, but it's true desperation for finding people that you can talk to, and who will talk to you ( let you into their group.) is very hard, so you end up talking to a lot of Christians. 

Anyway, just randomly stumbled on it from hitotoki.com 

さくらん映画を見た。すげっ大好き！二回見た。Now I really want to meet Mika Ninagawa and Anna Tsuchiya.  This is so much better than that awful, hollywood Sayuri.

Why are so many people on Livejournal Russian?  No really, why?
   It's comparable to the way Friendster is almost completely Phillipino.... .  Hmmm, strange/ intersting
Today was quite.  I went hiking with my mother, and we ate unripe tangernines,   They were delicious.

I REALLY want to go to FILMeX.  I just read about it in the Japan Times, but I'm going to go to it.   If it's not too expensive I'm going to try and go by myself, or find someone to go with me.  Hopefully. 

Stuff  has been happening.  Mundane things though, it wouldn't really interst anyone besides myself.  Just to prove to myself that things do happen  in my day to day life.

Why the heck do i alwats post at 2 am?  Non of my post are coherent for this reason.

Good night.

It's 2:29 AM.    - I love the fact that I can microwave water to make it hot.  I also love the fact that I know the scientific explanation of how this happens, even if it does make me a nerd.   And, maybe I'm not a nerd, maybe I looked it up on howstuffworks.com or something.  (actually I think I read it somewhere, like an article explaining why the fears of your microwave's waves hitting your groceries, and creating a new species are stupid.... as long as you don't hit the on button I think.   Maybe I'm wrong, maybe we'll all end up looking like Michael Jackson because we late at night we decided to use modern conveineces and heatup our water by microwaving it.)

  I feel like that was just a very long run-on sentence.  Well, it's 2 AM.  I have some excuse.  

Question: Why can't I ever just post one sentence posts?  Why can't I stop typing?
I'll probably read this tommorow and laugh at embarrasingly lame Late Night Attempts at Humour.  Nevertheless, I probably won't delete it.

I'll also probably wince at my grammer mistakes, caused by not ever editing a sentence after I type it.  Once it's typed, and it has a period, I consider it finished.

Yah, I might come back and edit this baby.

Hey,.
  I googled my first name and apparently I am:

• A jazzy violinist.  www.violinist-chinami.jp/

This is pretty cool.  But, there's more.  I'm also

• A politician  (I can't find her webpage now.  She has a short haircut and a skirt suit.)




• A designer!!  Kamishima Chinami  -  I actually remeber reading her byline in the Metropolis a millenium ago.  Anyway, isn't this awsome????  I find her designs a little boring because apparently she only knows of the color white.  But, I would wear them and do my best to steer clear of the tomato sauce.    I mean to all purposes I'll wear anything with my own birthname plastered all over it.     ( I can't tell if she spells it the same way I do, since her website is only in english and VERY sparse with the information.)    www.kamishimachinami.com/




• A member of Morimuseme.  She's the same age as me,  I think her haircut is unflattering though,  Props to her for surving in the show business world.   I remeber when I was in 3rd grade Morimusume was HUGE.   Everywhere.  They took over Japanese Nation.  At one point they practically had more merchandise than Hello Kitty.   It was terrifying .  lol           Anyway,she spells her name differently than I do.  Only losers spell Chinami differently than I do.   I'm afraid I have to take her props away.




• Some very traditional japanese artist all the way up in Nagano.  Impressively, she has her own art exhibit.  To have recieved that as an artist, she's probably dead.  It's very depressing how the only recognized artists are the controversial ones, or the dead ones.
  

And of course,  the softcore porn star, and the Pornstar.  How could I not google my name and get that?

  At least  the softcore was is a little classy.  She has a blog.  How funny is that?
  And of course there are anime named Chinami.

   Now, Do you know anyone named Chinami?
I've never met anyone witht the same name as me.  I've always wondered about it though, because Japanese people completely accept it.  It doesn't seem exceptionally rare, but it's definately not a common name.  
 Well, by the way (formally)  that's all.
ちなみに、おしまいです。わら　　（It's a pun in Japanese. )  Hee hee.  Yes It's lame. lol


P.S. For the bad writing. I havn't bothered to edit this at all.  Sorry!  Anyway, it's a livejournal entry.  What do you expect?  :)

Forgotten how hard it is to use a laptops mouse to draw.  My finger hurts now. 

Just doodling really.

Facts : Done in paint .  About 5-10 minutes.  Very very loosely based on a woman I saw while waiting at the pharmacy.  She had red gglasses and a bob.

こにちわぁ～

Afternoon!
But, it's really 23:11 so I guess it's really good evening, huh! lol
Today the rain is amaaaazing!! There's thunder and lighting and it made me kinda nervous!( well nervous isn't quite the right word... I didn't use it correctly yeah....)  Writing in Japanese makes me tired so quickly.  I'm laughing because I have no stamina.
So.......
I'm departing on an airplane in 8 days! Oh,no. Oh,no. Oh, no.
End of the Japanese blog.  Please see it again too.  [It doesn't really translate]

After I finish my essays I promise to scan my art and make this journal cuter.

Won't do it now though because I have more important things to do than decorate my cyber spaces.
....... I'd really rather be decoratating.  I hate work.

They're beautiful and I want to remember them all.    Butm I also have too many people that I watch, so my watch list is overflowing and I never bother to check it anymore.  How sad.

okay,  Now I MUST go write my essay and plan my lesson.

Hey!  Look!  I drew something!!!  Proving that everthing I draw after a one month art drought does not come out crap.  Just 90% of it!  Score!

Anyway,  I drew something digitial.  It's a self portrait.  Reference a pic of me from my cellphone.  So the ref pic is about 3 1/2 cm big.   And it's doesn't look exactly like me, but I got tired of it so I think this is as far as it's going to get.  Sorry it's so big,  I was too lazy to resize. 

Shoot. I just wrote a entry and livejournal just freaking erased it. Actually I pressed backspace instead and Firefox decided to go back in the browser. So technically its my fault, but i rather blame the technology when ever possible.

Talking about flaky technology, WHY is my keyboard not letting use the apostrephe key? I feel like a dunce unable to use the words "Im", " cant" , "bloody ell". I am being FORCED to use bad puntcuation. Its confusing my meaning. Anyway.

So, I am stressed again. Why? You ask? Well, actually you dont, but anyway. I have not been drawing for since the play started it. THat was like a month ago. Ive been feeling really guilty and like a failure. And NOW i have to force out 7 drawings for the plays cast as a thank you gift slash try and remeber me if you ever need to cast something for a job. 
   So after my one month drought of being to busy to even doodle, (except on lined paper when I was supposed to be studying. BUt who doesnt have time for that?)  I now have to force out 7 drawings that

1. Resemble the person, because everyone for some crazy reason thinks that when a drawing is supposed to represent you, is should resemble you.  Stupid vanity.
   
2. Shows character
3. Isnt malformed and out of proportion or make the person look like the spawn of satan.  Harder to do than you think.  
   
4. Finished and hopefully inked by the 28th.
5. Did I mention its full body?

This would be fine, but I HAVE A N ESSAY DUE TOMORROW!!! ANd I HAVE ONE DUE AT THE END OF THE WEEK!!  AND I"M LEAVING FOR THE USA ON JUNE 6TH!!!!

I think its time for a meltdown. 

I mean I feel awful for not drawing anything for ages, while amazing people like eminkey2003 to name one, pull out amazing stuff all the time.  And do finished projects. 
  And then there are the essays, which are all my fault for not doing right away. And now the deadlines are LOOMING scarily.  In fact not looming,  they are standing over me and glaring! 
  And the drawings, the freakin drawings,
AND THE EXCEMA!
  Thank god I am leaving the country for 2 months on June.  Oh, wait.  No, that's still stressful because I have to freaking pack!  AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Okay, Goodbye. I'm going to go get started on the essays and drawings.  Sorry for the emo whinge.  Meh. No one reads this anyway.  So I might as well get all my emo stuff out. 

  Meh,  I'll just rename this the Emo blog
love,

Hello my long forsaken blog,
  I have decided that since I spend enough time on the internet I will use some of this time to use my journal.  Anyway, I know that if you one write everyday, one's writing will eventually get better.  And frankly my writing sucks. 
  So.................
  Today is Mother's day in Japan!
My mother is away in Tochigi so that gave me a day to get everthing ready  and nice and special, but I havn't.  I have the worst time management issues.
  UGH!!!
Well,  I forced myself to write down something!!!  You can pretend it's a torturous passage from the depths of my soul, full of meaningful questions on life. 
  Good night

IT"S QUIZ TIME!!!!!!  (also so called me posting random quiz answers that nobody else is interested in.  But I wanted to put it somewhere, so suck it up people!)
