Nov. 1st, 2010 07:20 amGot to Stonybrook early yesterday, but Natsue still had to make some preparations outside her classroom. We only had time to attempt a translation of my fourth MMZ clip before getting started with the regular stuff. She was able to help me surmise what most of what Saya said translated into, but she was unable to figure out what the line "Yuuhou, bouzou, munemune!" would mean. She assumed that one would have to know what's going on in the game to figure it out. (All the more reason to create new, more complete footage of the game.)
I brought up Mom's suggestion of paying someone to translate the entire game for me at the end of class, and Natsue suggested that I come up with some kind of plan to show Sato-sensei next week. She has a very busy lifestyle, and most likely, so does everyone else at Stonybrook who gives Japanese lessons.
In any case, I have made good use of the translations and applied annotations to the first half of the clip (same one that Chelle helped me with the second half of half a year ago).

Brian brought home some bagels two days ago on the way home from somewhere, but Mom told me that they were raisin and pumpernickel. I only like salt and sesame, so she drove me to a bagel deli on the way home from Japanese. I got a salt one (which I had them put cream cheese on) and a Yoohoo (since I still had a few singles already on me). It all came out to $3.96.
On the way home from there, Mom asked me why I couldn't just put the cream cheese on it at home. (Didn't really think of that, or whether or not we still had any.) She also commented that food must be such a highlight of my life, and I responded that that's exactly why I have Kagami as an userpic for it. She asked me what "a Kagami" is, and I told her that it's actually one of the girls' names from Lucky Star.
Ate my lunch when we got home, and then pulled up the entry where I listed my userpics. She had a look at them, and commented that she never saw me use Link's pic. True, Link is one of my lesser-used pics among others, but I actually did use him once recently (September 24, to be exact, and not the first time either. Besides, Chelle also has some pics that she doesn't use nearly as often as others, such as Shiru/Zaha).
Speaking of Kagami, I should also mention that I did show another clip to Mom weeks ago starring the same character. In that case, I was kinda comparing myself to her, in that neither of us take very kindly to teasing.

(Miyuki in the next scenelet could be used to represent either Mom or Dr. Perret when either of them try to explain to me why Mom and Dad tease me the way they do. I usually tend to go along with it then.)
Wanna know what else is cute/funny? Two shots of her in episode 4. Just look at her mouth when she says:
"Yeah, see what I'm saying?", and
"...is exactly what I'd tell everyone!"

Mom suggested that I have another day off from work yesterday, so I could be home with Brian.
Later on, Mom and Brian noticed Daniel and Peter Lupfer trick-or-treating with some girls down the opposite side of Long Island Avenue from us. I anticipated their arrival by getting an index card to write down the link to this blog and a promise of "something interesting" once they comment on it.
For Halloween, Mom had gotten some York's peppermint patties and some Reese's miniature peanut butter cups (milk and dark chocolate). She suggested that I get rid of the dark peanut butter cups first, because she and Dad don't really like those, but when the aforementioned trick-or-treaters came around, I ended up just giving each of them three pieces indiscriminately.
I never got the girls' names, but their mother, along with Daniel, came down our driveway just seconds after I gave them the candy. The mother (who told me she lives next door to the Lupfers) introduced herself as Cathy, and told me the names of two of her daughters (one was Emily; can't remember the other one).
Daniel then brought up that time just weeks ago that I chatted with his mom and gave her the link to my blog. He said that he still has yet to actually read Chronicles of 7th Grade and show her how to leave signed comments, but I gave him the index card anyway, just as a reminder.
In any case, here are some links to the same entries that I linked to before:

And, since Halloween was just yesterday, here's the entry where I walked through Halloween of that year:

(Those kids were the only batch of trick-or-treaters we got this year.)

Brian finally got around to looking into that thing with my program. He claimed that EZ Grabber supposedly came with some kind of disk with the same title, and that Ulead Video Studio 10 SE was just a peripheral to it. He and I looked in all the computer drawers for the disk, but with no luck. While we ate dinner shortly afterwards, he suggested that he might've accidentally taken it with him back upstate after looking at it half a year ago.
This morning, though, I've just noticed a program titled EZ Grabber. Different from Ulead, but it does look familiar now that I've just seen it again. No disk in the drive, though, so I should probably ask Brian just to make sure that this is what we should have really been looking for in the first place.
