The edges are a bit cut off, though you can see all the girls autographs clearly, except the diamond in the corner of Risa’s photo (which I have noticed most other Gaki autographs don’t have… o_O I have a special Risa autograph!! <3). Just to refresh your memory (and to show the entire diamond (I have become fixated on this thing... XD), this is what they looked like pre-frame:

And now it’s up on my wall with my Berryz Koubou calendar… I can’t wait for 2010 when I’m going to get a Morning Musume calendar to match the frame. ^_^

So, to commemorate post #100 on fields, I recorded fomab podcast #4. The total running time is 1h 4min and I talk about Anime Expo, video games, anime, ebay and other randomness. It’s just a fun little thing of me rambling. I do have one serious point within the podcast which mentions a member of the JPHiP forum passed away a little while after AX, and I just felt that I had to give a salute out to him (Jabronisaur) even though I didn’t really know him (I met him very briefly at the Hello! Party sign-in/welcome table), and to his friends and family who continue to grieve his loss.

So, the tracklist for this podcast is Morning Musume filled (surprise surprise):

1. Shouganai Yume Oibito (39th single)
2. Honki de Atsui Theme Song (4th Ikimasshoi!)
3. Koe (Ai no Dai 6kan)
4. Jounetsu no Kiss wo Hitotsu (Platinum 9 Disc)

The podcast can be found here. Hope you enjoy! ^_^

I went out and bought a cake today, since I didn’t have the time to bake one myself. It’s a yummy brownie caramel cheesecake… Mmmmm… Cheesecake… <3 And, some of my favourite H!P girls came out to join me in celebrating the day! Why hello there Maimi and Miya! <3 ... Also, those are my brother's fingers. He has stupidly pretty nails... XD

Other than the cake, to commemorate the day, I have done up a little podcast, which you can find here. I talk a bit about IW, the blog (obviously), Elders Club graduating and other fun stuff. THe music in this podcast is a salute to Elders Club... And really, that means "let's play some oldies, but goodies"! XD

fomab Podcast 3

The tracklist for the podcast is as follows:

1. This is Unmei – Melon Kinenbi
2. Koibito wa Kokoro no Ouendan – Country Musume ni Ishikawa Rika

Awesome old school songs… And if you haven’t heard these song… Well you should!! XD

So, hope you enjoy the podcast, and hope you’ve been enjoying the blog, ’cause I’ve definitely been having a blast keeping it going for the past year. Here’s to at another year as prosperous as the first!

PS. My first post here was on November 8, 2007 @ 4:02 pm, so the anniversary post was scheduled for November 8, 2008 @ 4:02 pm.

I had a few technical difficulties, but meh. It’s done. It’s long, clocking in at around 1:07 ish. I rambled too much, and there isn’t THAT much J-pop talk in here… Some J-pop talk, some wotachat talk… Some responses to topics covered in pengie’s podcast. Ugh… The technical difficulties threw me off my train of thought…

All the music here is Hanson music, ’cause I’ve been itching to do a podcast featuring Hanson’s music. Tracklist as follows:

1. Yearbook – Hanson (Middle of Nowhere 1997)
2. Save Me – Hanson (This Time Around 2000)
3. Lost Without Each Other – Hanson (Underneath 2004)
4. In A Way – Hanson (The Walk 2007)

One note: I mentioned that I like being able to not have to talk like an adult on my blogs… That is not to say I don’t take the time to think about what I’m blogging. I do have my random gushy points, but I definitely put thought into most of my blog posts, and I hope that comes across, even though I use this as a escape from the troubles of life…

Hope you all enjoy my ramblings! XD

EDIT: Here are the links I said I’d add to this post… XD I forgot about them at 3 in the morning… (Heck, I almost forgot to upload the podcast… Oi…)
