Hello.
I use to write my diary in English on a different site before. I enjoyed writing mixi diary in Japanese too. But quit all now. I'm not a diary person.
I will try once more. Not diary. Just some mumblings.

Well, let me introduce myself.
I'm Japanese. I love reading and watching mainly Sci-fi. I love comedies too.
My interests are Doctor WHO, Torchwood, Star Trek, Star Wars, Being Human, True Blood, Misfit.......

I love reading Torchwood FanFics. I read my favorite Authors' Fics almost everyday.
I used to avoid reading FanFics because I was sure I would be into them.
I started reading Torchwood FanFics from 2009 December. Just after I bought my Amazon Kindle. 
At first just one Fic only I thought. Then I realized I wanted to read more.
I don't read them on my computer. I transfer them to my kindle and read.
I've read more than 160 Torchwood FanFics now. Some of them are excellent and I read them again and again.
I search more everyday.

I have a horse back riding training every week.
When I was a kid, I saw a horseback riding event in the  Olympic game. After that, I drew horses many times and love watching horse riding. But I did not have a chance to take lessons until 2010.  
 
I hope you will enjoy my entries and be my friend.
Thank you.

 I realize I posted nothing for half a year. Really sorry.

Last year I traveled to Bellaria, Itary for Star Trek Convention and San Diego for 'A Musical - Allegiance'. 
I enjoyed Italian foods with my German friends so much in Italy. I met a new friend in San Diego who is a George Takei's fan.

My next travel for a SyFy convention is for Wrexham (Wales, UK) plus Liverpool and London. 
Wrexham is for Wales Comic Con. Liverpool for sightseeing related the Beatles. London for theatre performances and sightseeing. 

I have to save my money for it. 
There are a lot of guest I want autographs. Oh, my!

 Sorry for my long absent.
It's not easy to keep writing something. This journal system is my fourth try. 
 
Today I'll introduce some of my plushies. 
I remember I was not much interested in keeping plushies when I was a kid. 
Only one I keep more than 20 years is a sheep plushie. 
 
Here is my other sheep and my cap keeper pig. 
plushies

I love all of them.

Recently I'm into a game called 'DragonVale'. I'm not a game lover. Surely not! Just a dragon lover.

I got this game last year but started from last month. I love this game because
1) its dragons are cute.
2) its Renaissance like music are sweet.
3) it's free.
4) can breed dragons.

--- In last 10 days, I bred 10 dragons. Now I want a blue dragon. I'm trying some combinations. 

One of my dragons is called Jack. Another is Ianto. I don't decide their kid dragon's name.

 I've been searching the best flights route to visit Bellaria, Italy for STICCON, the Star Trek convention.
Then finally decided which flights I will take. 
Osaka, Kansai - Frankfurt - Bologna - Munich - Tokyo, Narita - Osaka,Itami

This route cost a little bit higher than just going and returning. But can arrive Bologna earlier and leave there later. I need to find more time with my friends during my one week vacation. 

I was asked if I bring my swim suit and sunscreen. I don't remember when I swam last time.  I remember I got easily sunburned. I'm not young any more. I have to be careful with sunburn.

 I had over time works last week. 
I have sore eyes now. I wish I has not been caught by an allergy to pollen.

I got lots of fics at Torchwood Classic Big Bang. I want to catch up with them. Lots of fun are awaiting me :D

Twisted Showcase is a new 5 part anthology web series starting from March 2012.

The first episode will start on the 1st  of March. Gareth David-Lloyd, a Torchwood star, will appear in it. 
I love his acting in a web drama called "Girl Number 9". 
I met him at the HUB, a Torchwood convention and FedCon. He was a nice gentleman.

Next Friday I will join a canter class at a horse back riding school.
I will ride a horse called Unicorn.  She is a white proud  Anglo-Arab  lady (my British friend said a white one is called  "gray" in English. )
She proudly patiently canter with a less experienced rider.  
I'm excited. Looking forward to next training. 
I'll try to take her photo. It will reveal she is gray or white :D

I bought "nanoblock basic set". It contains 1500 pieces with an assembly manual for reference example. 

I followed its instructions to assemble a brachiosaurus.  I made its neck shorter thinking it looked a dragon without wings.

One block(2x4) more shorter is cuter and nicer? 
jo_chan_san: (Default)
 

Made by Nanoblock. I hope you love them.

He is Sion. I usually ride him at a horse back riding club.
He is popular. Cute, playful and sweet.

His father is DANCE IN THE DARK, a G1 winner horse in Japan. And his father's father is SUNDAY SILENCE, a Kentucky Derby winner horse. in the US

Sion looks love a living in easy life. He moves just exactly right (if a rider were to be good LoL ). He is good in a gymkhana. He is not a racehorse in nature, different from his father.

I'm in a kind of high now. Last night I went to MET Live Viewings and saw "Enchanted Island". Its Baroque songs awaken my singing desire a little bit again. I love Baroque songs.

Anyway.


madbottoms' "Opportunities/One door closes...and a window opens" chapter 2&3
   I guess this story will be long one. Just has started.

moonfirefic's "Song of the Lost"
   A very complicated story. I read it back and forth. I could finish reading since it was fun.

milady_dragon's Dragon-verse "The Dragon and the Nightingale" chapter 6&7 and "The Green and the Blue".
   I found her new Dragon-verse story "The Green and the Blue" around midnight. I couldn't wait reading after Monday work. It took till 3 am. I was sleepy but satisfied.

missthingsplace's "Utopia" chapter 27.
   In her "Utopia" world things go different. I want to see how different it will be.


Everlong's place's "Lonely Road" chapter 11.
   How they will escape from this situation? I'm interested.

evalentine99's "The Man In Grey" chapter 45.
   This story might finish soon or not. I hope not but everything has its end.

Thrace_adams' "The Masks We Wear"
   Every people wear their own masks. In Torchwood world, real faces were revealed here and there.

iolo1234's "The Other Man" an original story, not Torchwood.
   He met a man. He waited. This original story was nice. I like her TW fics. I hope she will write more original ones every now and then.

He is my Wales dragon. He is one of Ty beanie babies.
He is in my office.  He looks after me when I am down.
He has Wales name but I can not pronounce it yet.
Cute! :)


At home, red Wales dragon always wait for me.
He is cute too.

I found old and new fics I don't read yet.
I read stories in my favorite ongoing fic list. Then read my favorite author's new writings. Then re-read some of my favorite ones. Then read newly find fics. I have vast number of fics ahead. Reading English is slower than that of Japanese, my mother language. 

[personal profile] madbottoms ' "Opportunities/One door closes...and a window opens" chapter 1
   This was her new fic. I'm looking forward to where this story goes.

Everlong's place's "Lonely Road" chapter 9&10.
   Very tensed. If a Torchwood member falls in love with an enemy of Torchwood? Wow.

[personal profile] evalentine99 's "The Man In Grey" chapter 44.
   I'm interested in how Jack will recover from his trauma.

missthingsplace's "Utopia" chapter 26.
   A happy moment of a happy couple now. I expect a big storm will come.

[personal profile] milady_dragon 's Dragon-verse "The Dragon and the Nightingale" chapter 5.
   My favorite series. Jack was in an eye of a storm the Master made waiting the day would come.

Aviv_b's "Torchwood - A Musical Cliche" : one shot
   If you can not stop talking what you think, what would have happened?? What an idea.

[personal profile] badly_knitted 's Kitten!Ianto series from 20 - Cats In Atlantis to 42 - Big Pink Bows.
   Ianto is adorable. Ianto in kitten form is more adorable. He was sometimes kidnapped while a kitten walking :D They are good readings when I have short break.


Everlong's place's "Where would we be" re-edited version
   I don't remember how many times I read this fic and its original version. When I'm bored, I return to this story. I don't know why.

[personal profile] evalentine99 's "Heart and Soul".
   When I read it before, I hardly stop reading. It has its magic. Then I returned.

I saw a musical "Spamalot" last night. It was a Japanese version.
Japanese translation was very nice. It was almost natural Japanese. Some unnatural parts were intently left for jokes.
I seemed laughing too much. I have sore throat now.  I don't care. Good laughs cheer up our lives bright.

My "Spamalot" first encounter was in New York 2005. Just one month after a Broadway opening day. 
I happened to see its ad then asked reception if I could get a ticket for night performance on that day.
A clerk said there would be none because it was so popular and so difficult to get a ticket.
Lucky me. The clerk found an only one ticket on last low. I enjoyed Broadway original cast performance. 
I visited New York next year again and saw "Spamalot" again. It was not an original cast anymore.

I missed a superb performance of Sara Ramirez as the Lady of the Lake.  
Japanese version the Lady of the Lake, performed by Mao Ayabuki, a former Takarazuka Revue star was excellent too.
But Sara's voice covered an astonishingly wide range.

Assembling nanoblock with a blueprint is easier.
Making my original design thing with nanoblock is not always difficult. 

Today's assembling was "a western dragon". There were no blueprints at all.
I observed Ty Beanie Babies Wales Dragon and assembled this. 


I might made its body a little bit bigger.
Well I ran out of green blocks.



I wish I will be able to assemble blocks more beautifully.

I saw Sherlock "The Reichenbach Fall".
It was a very intense story.
A psycological thriller. A intensively scary one.
Now I finished watching it. All I say is 'how'?
Well no spoilers. Tons of questions remain.
We will wait till next season coming.

In last three days I read...

[personal profile] milady_dragon 's Dragon-verse "The Dragon and the Nightingale" chapter 3 & 4.
    I love this series. As soon as I find new chapters are uploaded, I read them. There are storms after storms in this series. Not every story has a happily ever after but as whole series a happy ending.

[personal profile] evalentine99 's "The Man In Grey" chapter 43.
    This story is about after 'the year never was'. Some people are suffering what the Master did. How they are coping with them. A kind of fear and trauma in it.

[personal profile] wanda1969 's "Come Fly With Me" chapter 42 (final chapter)
    Finally I've read final chapter. Reading this one was a happy reading. I was in a comfort zone. There were some stomy moments but mainly a happy story. I look forward to wanda1969's next writing.

Aviv_b's "Amok Time" : one shot
    When I saw the title, a famous Star Trek episode "Amok Time" flashed in my brain. In this story... oh, my goodness. Wow... Well, what happened to them was good or terrible? They were happy or not? I have no idea.

Angstosaur's "Chocolat: it's good for your serotonin levels" chapter 1-5
    This story is based on a movie. I don't see the movie but I heard it was a very good one. I can't imagine the end of her fic version. I like her writings.

[personal profile] badly_knitted 's Kitten!Ianto series
    He is adorable in human form. When he is in kitten form... irresistible. Too cute. Too shortly concentrated. They are easy readings. I feel happy after reading some of them.
