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 got several work emails today, which, considering our current schedule, was somewhat alarming, but ultimately it turned out to be good things. We did get another book added to our "due within the next month" list, but it's the final volume of our beloved Noragami! That's actually good and bad news for several reasons. We're happy to work on ( Read more... )

It's hard to believe, but Anime Expo starts the day after tomorrow! And one day, it suddenly occurred to me that we might run into Noragami fans who have read the last volume. It's one of our favorite series of all time, and we hadn't read the last volume ourselves yet, because we were waiting for our publisher to assign it to us to translate. ( Read more... )

Sometimes I think about how we generally dislike movies these days, and I start asking myself, "Then what do we like?" And I never end up finding a solution, because it's just such an abstract question. For one thing, we've been known to like things in all kinds of different genres. Even genres that usually have me going, "Ehh..." have come ( Read more... )

The latest volume of Noragami came out in Japan today (or rather, its release date is tomorrow, which is already today in Japan because of time zones), and lyschan, who is following the news more closely because we are dead to the world, also discovered that the next volume will be the last one. We are perhaps surprisingly unfazed by this news. I think ( Read more... )

The big news for us today is that the Zag-Store is now taking preorders for their replica of the Miracle Box from Miraculous, and oh my goodness, we have been wanting one of those for like our whole lives. They even designed it with the mechanism from the show to make all the drawers open at the same time! And it's so shiny! And it's only six ( Read more... )

We finished Noragami 24! It is now officially out of our hands. I think we did a pretty okay job on it ( Read more... )

Noragami was not as kind to us today as it was yesterday. Koto continues to make things easy for us, though. The story would go off and do exposition-y things for a while, and then it was like wading through a brick wall, but then it would cut back to Koto and what he was doing, and suddenly everything sped up again. We would not have met today' ( Read more... )

The impulse buy streak has ended. We did not buy anything today. ...But that reminds me, rent is due ( Read more... )

I should have known I was tempting fate when I said something about no more impulse buys yesterday. I was waiting for my ride to pick me up for the Young Women's activity this afternoon, so we were just scrolling through Facebook to kill time, and they showed us an ad for Woobles amigurumi crochet kits. They had a tiger one that was super cute, ( Read more... )
