So basically, you're here to ask some advice to the community.
I'll go first, with a cornelian choice.
What would you choose between :
debugging the new Hatsune Mike program
and
working in a paradisiac hotel as both a network admin and waiter (includes : 3 months in Okinawa and 3 months of "going to work skiing", but also ... Japanese girls)
You choose.
-
Keep in mind guys that Kaminos REALLY likes Miku.
-
Miku waifu of course

Oh man, I remember entering this very obscure store that was selling that very plush I believe.
....what a horrible day to only have 2 dollars in my wallet...
My advice: Always carry more than $2 at all times.
-
Paradisiac hotel.
-
The hotel -- I mean there's going to be
guys girls man, girrrrrrrrrrls
-
I'd go with the Hotel my friend
-
Hotel!
-
HOTEL! Just so you can scream at a bar: "I went to work by skiing!" and storm the sh*t out of anyone going to work by commuter (or walking)
Japanese girls are not that awesome in real life. Granted there ARE awesome ones, but you don't see awesome things everyday is what I'm saying, or else Chuck Norris would be sipping tea with me every afternoon with epic old british mustache
Can I ask a question here too?

I dated some Japanese girls, they were all nice :P

Of course, that's the topic's purpose.

If option 1 is a hobby, both options are viable.
Otherwise, gauge your happiness at each option, and choose the one that'd most likely give you that warm, fuzzy feeling inside.
-

MY advice: Have a debit card on you at all times. :D

I would say this.
-

Debit cards require money in an account. Which I'm sure you don't have much of if you're carrying only 2 dollars in your wallet.

Okay, now I'm officially jealous at you, what with Chuck Norris not sipping tea with me every afternoon with epic old British mustache
Of course, that's the topic's purpose.
Should I record that Little Match Girl and use it for my ringtone or not?
Or/and SMOKY THRILL at that
Also, I still think screaming "I go to work by skiing!" is worth the pick. After all, you can own those losers going to work by car
-
Little Match Girl!
Little Match Girl!
Little Match Girl!
Yeah you can see what song I really like. XD
-

Done and done :P
Now to think which part should I use as the ringtone
-
My computer chair makes creaking noises if I'm not sitting absolutely still, and they're transmitted through the floor to the room below me, so I need to get a new one. Everyone probably has a chair of some sort; can you guys recommend me one that's completely silent (and is still silent after months of use)? Also, it would be nice if the chair was easy to assemble, has adjustable height and has no leather.

Hey everyone. I need to get this Miku concert UMD shipped to the US on or before September 24. So how can I get it here ASAP? Should I buy it from ebay with EMS service (http://www.ebay.com/itm/PSP-UMD-MIKU-HATSUNE-39s-Giving-Day-Project-DIVA-presents-Solo-Concert-Japan-/190855750030)? Or would it be faster to use Rakuten with the Tenso forwarding service (http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/es-toys/item/4560248017551/)? Or is there an even faster option?
Edit: Here's an update - Since it was probably best to get the order in before the start of business hours in Japan, I just placed my order. I went with the ebay seller because I read that Tenso uses EMS too.

Eh... well, for what it's worth, the last time I used... well, my usual JShopper's Tenso (not sure if it's Rakuten's Tenso), I got my stuff seven days after I ordered it. They say they use EMS, but I've never seen them come to my doorstep with anything less than DH freakin' L.
They got bombarded with a bunch of orders in the spring or summer, the order I placed past then was pretty fast.

D'oh! Oh well. I'll just hope that my package doesn't get stopped in its tracks by customs. Thanks anyway. :)

Random questions that bother me right now:
Pokemon X or Y?
Ahri or Fizz for Plat(League of Legends)?
Jude or Milla for new game plus(Tales of Xillia)?
Pepsi or Sprite?
White shirt or Black shirt?
iPhone 5 or Galaxy Note II?
Air or Kanon first(Anime)?
I have $500 to spend on the side for Anime related goods, most notably Idolm@ster goods. What is suggested?
Note: Hibiki figure is a must no matter what happens even if I am able to buy Namco with that money.
-
Pepsi or Sprite?
I've gotta choose a third option: neither. High fructose corn syrup is awful. ;D
iPhone 5 or Galaxy Note II?
If you're gonna get an iPhone, consider also the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C! :D

Pokemon:
Depends on which Pokemon designs you like more, including Mewtwo's two mega forms, which you can see near the end of this video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIT_4LIHO90
LoL:
It depends on who you like more, but if you're looking for a better champion, Ahri seems to be pretty strong right now.
Tales of Xillia:
Milla. She has an iDOLM@STER costume..
Pepsi or Sprite:
Pepsi has caffeine, which is a drug that can be addicting. It also gives you energy about an hour after you drink it, but you start to crash after that.
Sprite doesn't have caffeine.
Both drinks are unhealthy, though.
Shirts:
Depends on how hot it is. If it's hot, wear a white shirt. If it's cold wear a black shirt. You're also not supposed to wear white after Labour Day according to some people, so black is a safer fashion choice from what I understand.
Phone:
It depends on what you want. Definitely wait for the 5S or 5C first. The Note is also a lot bigger. Even if you don't have an iPhone, you can still get an iPod Touch later, which has very similar functionality.
Air or Kanon:
Kanon came first, so I suggest watching it first. I also suggest the 2006 version because it seems to have nicer art than the first one, as you can see here:

However, if you're in the shade, a black shirt may be better in hot weather because a white shirt will reflect the heat from your body back at you. I'm hardly an expert on this sort of thing, though.

I'm fairly sure that black absorbs more light, and not necessarily more heat. It's just that the light energy being absorbed by a shirt heats up the shirt. If you're in the shade, there's probably no difference between how each shirt colour affects your temperature.

We do emanate some heat as infrared light. :)

When you draw in anime/manga style, after drawing in pencil do you ink the eyes first or last? The book I'm learning from says that you're supposed to ink starting at one of the top corners so you don't end up smearing the ink, but my markers dry pretty fast so smears aren't a problem.
Do you use a drawing compass to draw circles? I'm not very good at drawing circles freehand, and it takes me quite a few tries before I get a circle that looks reasonable.

Personally, I like to do eyes last. That's just because I'm really particular about my eyes, though, and put them off as long as possible to avoid messing them up. XD
But in all seriousness, I think it depends a lot of the hairstyle of the character and the position of their face. I'd say you should ink everything obstructing part of the eyes (if there is anything) first.
For me, I either grab a water bottle or something else circular to make a circle (when I feel like being really professional) or just freehand it. I think it depends. If you're actually going to need the circle to be a perfect circle, I'd say to use a compass. If you're just using it for reference (like drawing a head, for example), you're going to end up erasing most of it anyways, so it should be fine to just be freehand.
That probably didn't help, but whatever. :P

Like Grace said, what I usually do is ink anything that might cover the eyes in any way, particularly hair bangs. The eyes are usually second to that and then I just go from there.
-
Your posts do help! Thanks, you two! I'll try inking the eyes last, and definitely after inking anything obstructing the eyes. I'd still like to get a compass, but I'll also see if I can learn to draw circles freehand.

You are very welcome. :)

It may be too late, but I just want to give some advice on drawing anyway. Hope you may find these useful~~
It is dependent on what you really draw to decide whether to ink the eyes first or last. Generally, it is better to ink the eyes last as you may need to change the position of eyes after drawing other parts. However, some may want to ink the eyes first before inking the hair as some hairstyles may cover the eyes.
Well, it is not a good habit to draw using tools, even drawing circles with compass or drawing straight lines with rulers. Unless you need to draw something is a perfect circle such as something as background, it is normally not a matter to draw a "bad" one. You may draw again even you get a "bad" circle. Just practice makes perfect~

No problem!
I don't think anyone can ever draw a PERFECT circle freehand, even if you are, like, professional, so just keep that in mind. As long as it looks like a circle, even if it's a little shaky, it should be fine.
-
you may need to change the position of eyes after drawing other parts.
Erasing an eye or eyes after already starting inking sounds like a lot more work in redrawing them, but I'm guessing that it's worth it. Thanks!
I don't think anyone can ever draw a PERFECT circle freehand,
I had a math teacher who could draw perfect circles freehand, but those were more than two feet big on a chalkboard. :)

Speaking of drawing facial features, you should look up Mark Crilley as well. He's a renowned manga artist with loads of guidance videos on Youtube. His details are very precise as is the explanation of methods and common mistakes.
-
The book I'm learning from is Mastering Manga by Mark Crilley. :) Oddly enough, I haven't watched any of his YouTube videos yet.
-
That makes two of us, then! He's also got a DeviantArt page, and I have both volumes from said author. Quite the treat, right? :3
-
Yeah! I always thought that drawing was beyond my ability, but the book breaks it down into doable steps.
Edit: One of Mark Crilley's videos showed me what I was doing wrong when drawing reference circles. I was trying to draw them in one stroke, but you're actually supposed to use many light strokes.
