Software woes and Hikago love
I’ve been good this weekend, working a lot. I’m learning a new job (subtitling) and this week’s task is translating a show about Japan, so is all right with me in every way. The job isn’t easy, but really fun. I’ve almost finished the things due on Tuesday already, since I’m going to IKEA tomorrow with my mother, and computer shopping (for her), which is a daunting task in itself.
Other than that I’ve been totally immersed in Hikago lately. Watched fav episodes with pingviini Thursday evening. She was really tired but still managed to make a wonderful dinner. Japanese-style, eating with chopsticks.As usual I managed to place some soy sauce on my fav sweater. And then we squee’d for hours in front of the TV. It was really nice. Since then I’ve read Hikago fic for breakfast, lunch and dinner. With a short break for taking the Xh out shopping and Indian food Saturday, and today when I had to get some work done. A lot of nice stuff goes on in the Hikago fandom. Some extremely good writers and of course, the usual extremely strange stuff people write. The only disappointment is the lack of good long fics. I found a few. I started reading one that seemed a bit promising, until the writer, in chapter 10, declared that there wasn’t going to be any Hikaru/Akira in the fic, and I could see the shadow of a Hikaru/Nase/Akari love triangle.
Eeew, het, I thought and ran away, fast. I’m not really interested in het love stories. Often too mushy for my taste. And also, the fandom needs more Ogata love. I don’t get why he’s often portrayed as so creepy. Self-centered and single-minded, okay, but creepy, no.
And I just discovered that all of today’s translation is gone. Why can’t I save? This is the third time this happened. New software, shit, shit, shit. Haven’t I worked with computers too many years already? At least I did the research, and the second time it’s much easier.
Much later: Done, once more. Maybe I’ll treat myself to some fic before bed.
