Happy almost new year, everybody! This weekend has been a little unusual, because our stake has been hosting a mini-conference for singles. So last night, we went to the temple and did a session there, then we went across the street to the stake center and hung out at the social thing they were having. No fateful encounters, but there was some ( Read more... )

It's the last day of 2021, and that means it's time for another year-end post! Tadah! To review the year, I will now post the first little bit of the first post I made every month this year.

( 2021 in review )

Well, we spent most of the day frantically trying to finish this one translation. We came kind of maybe sorta close, but we didn't succeed. And so everything gets pushed back a little more. I like to think it's not getting pushed back too far, but we won't know until tomorrow ( Read more... )

We just decided to stop working on Sailor Moon volume 5, and now it's our usual bedtime, so it's our usual LJ time! I'm not sure if that's a good habit; we'd probably get to bed sooner if we updated sooner, but it's become routine, so here we are. Anyway, we came pretty darn close (relatively speaking) to finishing the edit on the thing, but it ( Read more... )

I think we've finally managed to complete all of our responsibilities for the year. We still have stuff we have to do to get ready for church tomorrow, but technically that's a responsibility for next year. ...And Athena reminds me we haven't actually turned in our most recent translation, but technically that's also a responsibility for next ( Read more... )

Wow, it's like New Year's Eve. How did that happen? Here I was, minding my own business, and bam! New year tomorrow. Athena says she remembers it being the middle of February and she was thinking, "Wow, look at all the work we've done this year! We're so busy!" (we went and found the post we wrote about it! Check it out!), and now suddenly it ( Read more... )

Before I start with the obligatory year in review post, I want to say that we watched the first episode of the Chaika anime and were not impressed. They fit the whole first volume of manga's worth (and then some) into just one episode! So you know they were taking stuff out, which makes sense because sometimes you have to do that in an adaptation ( Read more... )

I couldn't think of anything to post about today, so I finally remembered the accent meme that coastal_spirit did a while ago and how we said we would do it! So I was going to do it! But it requires a voice post, and when we went to figure out how to do voice posts, it said to set up your voice post preferences, and we clicked the link and it said Frank was ( Read more... )

Well, it's official. We turned in the script today, and we are no longer translating Fruits Basket in the progressive tense. From all the long, epic stories we've seen, I feel like after something like this, there should be kind of a "And now it's time for a new beginning" at best and a "Now what?" at worst, but as it is, we're just going to go ( Read more... )

Today I'm feeling much better and I'm ready to post those memes! First, this meme from more_dragoncelt

1. Comment on this post.
2. I will give you a letter.
3. Think of 5 fictional characters whose name starts with that letter and post their names and your comments on these characters in your LJ
