Pathetic Attempts at Activity
So I've been reading the manga of Fullmetal Alchemist in preparation for the new anime, which apparently is a complete re-do that's going to stick closer to the manga. I'm really looking forward to it, because the manga's pretty sweet. It's airing on April 5th, for anyone who cares.
Anyway, as I was reading along, I remembered this lovely little fic I'd once read where Hawkeye is teaching Ed how to drive because he's being all angsty about Al, and I was like-- ho shit, I absolutely must read this again! Well, idiot me hadn't saved the link, and I couldn't find it doing normal searches through Google or FF.net. IT TOOK ME HOURS TO FIND THIS FIC. HOURS.
I attribute my eventual success to my super liberrian skills.
Also, Skype seems to be trying to screw me over. I renewed my subscription this past month, but for some reason they keep asking me to renew it. I don't know why. I've gotten a couple calls on my line that have messages I can't access. Two were from the same number... and if it's from a job that I've been trying to get, I'm going to be seriously pissed. I will have to remedy this.
Am still unemployed. Am feeling rather out of sorts about this. On the other hand, I've had lots of reading and writing time when I'm not applying to places. Also I don't have to pay rent yet.
I've been researching stuff for my Story Eater stuff, and I think I've found a cathedral that I want to use for the partial model for the library. It's called Laon Cathedral and it's in France. The outside is a bit too Christian for what I had in mind, but I want to use the clean lines and the double layer of arches inside. I envision Dor saying something like, "Pretentious... super pretentious!" when he first sees the place.
Other Story Eater changes:
- Bye bye, Ashley.
- Hello, George:
He looks less like Sokka in other drawings-- he looks too young here. Anywayz, I am eager to make more George.
I think I'm going to move my writing stuff over to this journal full-time, because I hate splitting everything up. Either that, or the personal stuff is going to be moved to a more public blog (I'm getting pressured from the family). We'll see.
