This has been a very long week, and we are very tired. And it's not quite over yet! We let ourselves sleep late this morning, because it's our turn to help clean the church building this week, so we have to get up early tomorrow. It's not the ideal week for it, since we're already so exhausted, but that's life sometimes. Anyway, even with the ( Read more... )

Today we were back in the translation dungeon, which was super exciting because we got an email from one of our other publishers with a list of proposed deadlines. The first one was two weeks out, and we were like, "I would love to be able to do that, but we are trapped in the dungeon for the foreseeable future." We asked them if we could push ( Read more... )

Not much to post about today. I think it's safe to say this much about the prose series we're working on, though: It's one of those dungeon crawling serieseses, where it's totally video game based, but if the characters were real people who leveled up like video game characters. And they're always going to the dungeon to fight monsters. So now ( Read more... )

Work continues to be a bit daunting. Fortunately, we think we're on track to get our current assignment turned in on time, and we can almost certainly get the manga volume that's due this week finished on time... As for next week and the weeks after that...well, we're just not ready to look that far into the future. Things are not super heinous ( Read more... )

Today was the day of reckoning, in which we would finally be able to determine the level of doom brought to us by these prose assignments. After today's work, we have determined that the outlook is indeed relatively doomful, but not despairingly so. We can make it through as long as we budget our time like we do for In/Spectre...which is ( Read more... )

We may have gotten a bit reckless about work. I think I mentioned a few days ago that we have these prose assignments we need to translate and we have no idea how long they're going to take. We haven't been able to do much to find out, because the manga we're translating that's due on Friday is kicking our butts, just like the last volume did. ( ( Read more... )

I do not know what to post about today. We finally managed to wrangle our work schedule, so naturally we're going to muck it up again by walking to Disneyland tomorrow instead of working. We have a small project we agreed to do by Monday, and we can do it all on Monday without too much trouble, but we're pretty sure Monday is also when our ( Read more... )

I have been entirely too distracted; I don't know what's going on right now. Steve just called. He and Mom are temporarily back from Japan and driving to their house so they can attend our stepbrother's wedding, which we will also be attending, but we have less distance to travel and a lot of work to do, so we will be leaving later. The good ( Read more... )

Our schedule is like...in Disney's Cinderella when Gus is trying to pick up all the kernels of corn. If we could just remove one of those kernels of corn, everything would fit, but we can't figure out which one is okay to remove, so we try to squish that last one in, and then everything goes kablooey. ...It hasn't actually gone kablooey yet; it's ( Read more... )

We're three days away from our trip and fear of the unknown is sinking in hardcore. Fortunately we're able to compartmentalize pretty well, so we take all the anxiety and set it aside while we focus on other things. Then we take a break, and the realization hits again and we start the internal screaming for a while ( Read more... )
