I think I'll be taking three classes this fall, mainly because one class doesn't give me homework, but I might not take that class... Never mind. Money won't be an issue. I still have plenty of paper. Anyway.
Japanese 2.
Darkroom Techniques
and Business Grammar. Oooh yeah. This one's online. ^_^

Second. Jen from Anime Expo's Artist Alley (former head of the department) linked us to the Second International Manga competition hosted by Kodansha's Morning Magazine. Kodansha, for those not in the know, publish Vagabond, Black Jack, and.... if you don't know those... Sailormoon. If you don't know what Sailormoon is, stop reading.
The deadline is Dec. 31 2007, 12-50 pages limit, in English or Japanese.

We're using Midnight Tokyo, our private Roleplay game. XD

Third. Since all of our characters are either initially or secondarily modeled after a real life person, I had to go on a hunt to get more pictures of one of the more prominent characters. Since he's not so prominent in the music world (and recently retired this spring! :O), this meant going on a chain link hunt for blogs of the band members of the four bands that he was in (simultaneously) and looking for camera phone pictures of him. I was very successful, and even found a handful of live shots of him performing.

After three hours of this last night, I've fit the bill of "obsessing" over this guy. Fortunately, even though he retired from music (probably just a long hiatus; health got in the way), he still hangs out with the bands on occasion, and thus I can still get pictures periodically. ^-^

One day I'll update with Anime Expo.

I have a question for her (or you).

The contest said that the deadline for the submissions is: "last acceptable postmark/backstamp on or before December 31st."

Does that mean that it needs to be in Japan by the 31st, or in the mail by the 31st?

since it says "last acceptable POSTMARK/BACKSTAMP on or before...," so i assume as long as it's postmarked by dec 31, it's okay? i'll relay your message to her though.

Yeah... my concern though, is that it gets stamped every office it goes through. By the time it got to Japan, it'd be past the 31st... :'( So far everyone says that it just needs to be in the mail, but it's Japan... Whole other continent, language, culture... they might do things differently D:! *frets*

the u.s. postmark is okay. they'll accept it even if they receive it after 12/31, as long as it's postmarked on or before 12/31, so don't worry about it.

good luck ^^b
