I fear we have unleashed a monster. Yesterday, we reminded our sister's children that they like to play Nintendo Switch with us, so we were expecting a phonecall today, maybe, if they remembered. Lo and behold, they did remember! We had finished part of one project and were just getting into this week's anime simulcast when Grawp called, and we ( Read more... )

Today has been such a day. We started our edit of the latest volume of In/Spectre, and oh my heck, is it slow going. We're hoping we can have three days to work on it before it's due (including today), so we wanted to get a third of it done...and we did not. We were going at a decent enough pace that we might have done it if not for a couple of ( Read more... )

We took about an hour out of our work time today, which maaay not have been the best of ideas for the same reason we just wanted to blow off work entirely. Apparently there's a trend now of adding bonus short stories at the end of volumes of manga, which in and of itself would not be a problem, except that these particular short stories are prose ( Read more... )

It was very difficult waiting to play Animal Crossing today. I mean, work's actually been pretty okay and not brain-melty or anything, so that made it less hard, but we still took longer meeting our quota than we would have liked. But we did finally get to play Animal Crossing, and that's when we found out that we should have stopped in the ( Read more... )

There was a lot of Minecraft today. Grawp kindly waited until he saw that Athena was playing the Switch, and then immediately called and asked her to join him. It was very cute, too, because he specifically said after she finished with Animal Crossing. But we knew that Athena's rounds in Animal Crossing would probably take so long that his ( Read more... )

Not much to report today. Our work schedule got thrown off by a lengthy online discussion about preferred translation script formats, which started as a discussion about how many letters to include in sound effects. Apparently the letterers don't like it when you use too many...which is a bit of a problem, because sometimes I pay attention, and ( Read more... )

Today we had not one but two nephews ask us to play Minecraft with them! Of course we can never say no to that, so we agreed despite our work schedule (we may end up just pulling an all-nighter on Friday, but I really hope it doesn't come to that (we do technically still have Saturday, after all)). Fortunately for us (but not for Gilderoy, alas ( Read more... )

The endless work continues. We seem to have picked up some steam (or the part we were working on was easier), so it looks like there's hope for meeting our deadline without having to give up sleep ( Read more... )

Grawp blew us off this morning. The phone rang at about ten-thirty, and the sweet voice of Hagger said, "You wanna play Minecraft?" Of course there's no saying no to that, so we took a break from Edens Zero and turned on the Switch. Athena and Hagger played Bed Wars for about an hour, and most of the time Grawp just watched and offered ( Read more... )

Oh man, what a day. We had a ward activity tonight, so we knew we wouldn't have much time to goof off. We got our usual Saturday stuff done and had just finished the rounds on Animal Crossing. We hadn't yet decided if we were going to indulge in a little bit of Pokemon (or Pokemon Snap) before doing more research for work, and we were about to ( Read more... )
