Remember by SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]

Okay, full disclosure, Sawano Hiroyuki is my #1 favorite composer, so I buy almost everything he’s released, even if I have to order the CDs from Amazon Japan. But his RE/MEMBER album is actually on iTunes, which I was pretty stoked about.

This song, Remember, is what I’ve been listening to a lot the past couple weeks. There’s something just really upbeat and happy about it that’s made me feel great while I’m working. It’s a combination of English and Japanese lyrics.

手を止めた一秒で変わるはずないと
気を緩めた後ろで連れ添う音が逃げていく oh, oh
君は黙って見ていた破けたページの所為で先が読めないように
このまま一つの物語抱いてエンドロール見返してても人が過ぎていくだけ
大人の言い訳にもたれ掛かる前に remember

Let it shine! I will never give it up
All the spirit is gonna let it fly
強がった日の言葉が錆びた夢の体をまだ支えている
Running circles around what is mine
I'm getting closer as I move in time
Wow-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, wow-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Let' em know!
Oh, let it shine!
Oh, let it shine my friend!
そう誰の弱さも前に繋げる
You remember, purest heart?
And the beauty of the colors
Wow-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, wow-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Wasn't feeling right and all of the gravity tore me down
I needed to figure dilemmas out
Just wanted to break out of borderlands
And shout
Now it's getting clear and I know why
I feel all the waves, it opens up
I throw up my fist to punch the air

And the sun will shine forever
We can feel this even better
See the sky, it's looking brighter
We have begun to think much deeper now
Hear the praise I'm getting higher
But I must control the fire
Keep my cool

Let it shine! I will never give it up
All the spirit is gonna let it fly
And you know every tear is gonna dry
And the moon will shimmer in the sky
Shimmer shimmer for me!
Running circles around what is mine
I'm getting closer as I move in time
Just shine all you want!
Just shine all you can!

Let' em know!
Oh, let it shine!
Oh, let it shine my friend!
So, let it shine!
So, let it fly!
Don't look back again
You remember, purest heart?
And the beauty of the colors
They ran in the rain!
They ran in the rain!

奏でた音が今まだ背で返されたとしても
未来の指が触れれば出遅れたその足と歩き出すから
Running circles around what is mine
I'm getting closer as I move in time
Wow-oh-oh-oh-oh

Let it shine! I will never give it up
All the spirit is gonna let it fly
And you know every tear is gonna dry
And the moon will shimmer in the sky
Shimmer shimmer for me!
Running circles around what is mine
I'm getting closer as I move in time
Just shine all you want!
Just shine all you can!

Let' em know!
Oh, let it shine!
Oh, let it shine my friend!
So, let it shine!
So, let it fly!
Don't look back again
You remember, purest heart?
And the beauty of the colors
They ran in the rain!
They ran in the rain!

Chinese Take-Out and Sushi for One

Captain’s Log, Supplemental My agent sent me an article from Publisher’s Weekly that discussed this incident: Chinese Take-Out Spawns Christian Controversy And here’s also a blog post that talks about it in more detail: The Fighting 44s This is Soong-Chan Rah’s blog: The PCS blog In sum: Apparently Zondervan (yes, my publisher), who has partnered with Youth Specialties, had put out a youth leaders skit that had stereotypical Asian dialogue, which offended many Christian Asian Americans. In response to the outcry, Zondervan/Youth Specialities put out a sincere apology and is not only freezing the remaining stock of the book, but also reprinting it and replacing the copies people have already bought. I am very proud of my publisher for how they have handled this situation. The skit writers have also issued a public apology . (I feel sorry for them, because they were only trying to write a funny skit, not stir up this maelstrom of internet controversy. I’ve been in youth work long enou...

Toilet seat cover

Captain’s Log, Supplemental Update August 2008: I wrote up the pattern for this with "improvements"! Here's the link to my No Cold Bums toilet seat cover ! Okay, remember a few days ago I was complaining about the cold toilet seat in my bathroom? Well, I decided to knit a seat cover. Not a lid cover, but a seat cover. I went online and couldn’t find anything for the seat, just one pattern for the lid by Feminitz.com . However, I took her pattern for the inside edge of the lid cover and modified it to make a seat cover. Here it is! It’s really ugly stitch-wise because originally I made it too small and had to extend it a couple inches on each side. I figured I’d be the one staring at it, so who cared if the extension wasn’t perfectly invisible? I used acrylic yarn since, well, that’s what I had, and also because it’s easy to wash. I’ll probably have to wash this cover every week or so, but it’s easy to take off—I made ties which you can see near the back of the seat. And...

No Cold Bums toilet seat cover

Captain's Log, Stardate 08.22.2008 I actually wrote out my pattern! I was getting a lot of hits on my infamous toilet seat cover , and I wanted to make a new one with “improvements,” so I paid attention and wrote things down as I made the new one. This was originally based off the Potty Mouth toilet cover , but I altered it to fit over the seat instead of the lid. Yarn: any worsted weight yarn, about 120 yards (this is a really tight number, I used exactly 118 yards. My suggestion is to make sure you have about 130 yards.) I suggest using acrylic yarn because you’re going to be washing this often. Needle: I used US 8, but you can use whatever needle size is recommended by the yarn you’re using. Gauge: Not that important. Mine was 4 sts/1 inch in garter stitch. 6 buttons (I used some leftover shell buttons I had in my stash) tapestry needle Crochet hook (optional) Cover: Using a provisional cast on, cast on 12 stitches. Work in garter st until liner measures...

Brainstorm - character occupation

Captain's Log, Stardate 03.23.2009 Hey guys, I could use some help. In my current manuscript, The Year of the Dog , which is a humorous contemporary romance, I have a minor character, Eddie. He’s my heroine’s ex-boyfriend, and they’re on good terms with each other. He’s a bit irresponsible, but not so much so that he’s a complete loser. He’s got a very easy going attitude, he forgets to pay his bills sometimes, he’s friendly and charming. He’s adventurous and fun to be around, but he’s a little forgetful sometimes, and he tends to spend a little outside his income. I need an occupation for him. What would a charming, easy going, slightly irresponsible guy do for a living? He’s not too irresponsible, because otherwise readers will wonder what in the world my heroine saw in him to date him in the first place. She was attracted to his charm, his easy going attitude (her family’s uptight, and he was a nice contrast), and his adventurousness. But his forgetfulness and irresponsibility ...
