1. Back from vacation! It was awesome and fun, and not too cold. It was a journey of food and drink--consuming it, talking about it, shopping for it.

2. Speaking of food, I recommend The Loving Hut in San Francisco at the corner of Vallejo and Stockton. Tasty and not too expensive Chinese vegan food! Best review ever at yelp:

totally thought ( Read more... )

I am torn between desperately wanting to eat and wanting to sleep. So instead I post. First, fanfics:

Reason by kishmet, PoT, TezuRyo + MomoKai, lots of fun and completely dorky MomoKai goodness.

The Brilliant Find A Date For Kyouya Plan parts one and two by sam_storyteller, Ouran, sekrit pairings, hilarous. I had some problems with some details (mostly to do with how ( Read more... )

Shiny Haru wo daiteita pimp post! With pics! It's funny and makes me want to reread the series...

Eat Your Heart Out by rageprufrock is a terribly fun Doumeki/Watanuki fic. It starts with Doumeki getting a not-very-good pink bento for lunch. Watanuki flails and spazzes, then ends up kind of despondent. There is timely intervention and all ends well.

I haven't been reading too much in the way of fanfics online lately. I think I'm savoring the feel of a real book in my hands, instead of having to squint at a computer screen and getting dried and tired eyes.

Some fics of note:

Doumeki/Watanuki drabble from drabble_trade--Short and tasty.

House of a Hundred Regrets by Shiyo is a Doumeki/Watanuki fic I wanted to like, and do like portions of. Great premise, nice conclusion. The execution...made me pause every so often. Nice use of details to create the setting...except when the detail threw me out of the fic...

Andante Grazioso (Portrait of a Pianist #1) by petronia is a lovely little Ouran fic. I'm not even sure how to describe it (besides "lovely" and "little"), but it did make me want an outstanding recording of the Sonata in A Major...

Damn Cool Pics is a blog that features pictures around some theme. Pimped Japanese Trucks was particularly...interesting ( Read more... )

I've started to upload pictures from previous summary posts into Scrapbook and link to them to get rid of that annoying message from Photobucket. I discovered that Photobucket's censorship is completely haphazard and lame. One of the pics they deleted from Himegimi no koshiire? Soooo innocent...What in the world was wrong with it?? And yet they ( Read more... )
