This morning I finished a messenger bag made completely out of yarn! ^_^ It's blue and brown, and I'm rather fond of it. It was quite literally a project I started on a whim last Friday, and it turned into a full bag! ^_^ I haven't tried it yet, but from my early measurements while I was making it, it should be large enough to hold my laptop. Not ( Read more... )

I took some pictures of (most of) my bookshelves for a group on Goodreads, and I figured I might as well put them up here as well. So if you'd like to see my increasingly large collection of light novels and manga and a bit of my hoard of sci-fi and fantasy novels, check under the cut. (Lots of random crochet stuff, too, since I use the front part ( Read more... )

Just got back from the library, and I realized that I have a lot more books out from the library than I thought I did. ^_^; Maybe I should stop going multiple times before I'm done with the books I already have out. (Seriously, I have books due the 5th, the 15th, the 19th, the 22nd, and the 25th at the moment. Though I have to have the ones due the ( Read more... )

I'm in the mood to share more pictures. So here are my current to read pile... and the sight that was waiting for me when I entered my room to take the book picture. ^_^;

( pictures!! )

Okay, so obviously I've not been keeping up on my attempt at regular translation on Hanfurirou. Life's been... well, not particularly bad, but still kinda sucky. I haven't been sleeping well, and that makes it that much harder to focus on anything, let alone something that actually takes some brain power. (Really, all I've been doing lately is ( Read more... )

So I re-read American Gods by Neil Gaiman recently... and I absolutely love the speech Sam gives about what she believes (the entire thing of it). But particularly the last sentence of it ( Read more... )

...Finally got around to the manga order I was originally planning on making with my Christmas money. I chose today because Mom and I headed over to Half Price Books and sold off another box of my English language manga. Only about a million boxes to go. I only got $50 for the entire box, but it's better than nothing (and better than the $40 for ( Read more... )

...In case I ever really forgot that I more or less live on my computer... and about half the time on the web too, and that I would die without an Internet connection... I just spent the last two days doing almost nothing but sleeping and working on (sometimes in or with) some form of my presence on the web, be it my personal website, Facebook ( ( Read more... )

So, I'm finally getting around to reading Cold Light (sequel to Cold Sleep, which I've read a handful of times in English translation and once now in Japanese!... and listened to the drama cd)... by Konohara Narise, and I have decided once again that I really do love her stories. Really.My goal is to finish this book before the drama cd comes out ( Read more... )

I don't know why I'm posting this (just as didn't know why I was posting my year's worth of books for 2009), but I feel like it anyway. So yeah, under the cut are one January 2010's worth of books for me. ^_^ 11 books total.

( my Janauary 2010 in books! )
