So, as I just mentioned in my latest Hanafurirou post, translation helps me get my mind off sucky real life stuff. And it's true. Writing and crochet do, too. And podcasts, and anime, and drama cds... and anything that keeps my mind from wandering to its own thoughts ( Read more... )

Been a while since I last posted any Hanafurirou. Sorry about that. So here's more! (Translating helps me get my mind off sucky real life stuff. ^_ ( Read more... )

So, here's the penultimate chapter of Unaware. The morning after chapter 6. This time we get to know who Michal is... whether we like it or not. And we get just a little bit of magic, as well as some answers. And then we sulk.

And really, I think that's about all I need to say. So here you go.

I could kill my father today. Seriously, I could.

Still going through the writing, though I got sidetracked reading my 2006 NaNo. Another year I finished up with something different, though this one made it to 30,000 before I decided to work on something different as well. I'll probably try to work on it some more in the near future, since I kinda do like it... But yeah, this particular story has ( Read more... )

I've known for several days that we were going to get an assload of snow tonight/today. But they keep making it worse! First it was a winter storm warning and something like 6-12 inches snow. Then it was a winter storm warning, with 8-14 inches. Then it was a blizzard warning, still with 8-14 inches, but this time with 45 mph gusts of wind. >_Then ( Read more... )

I feel awful today. It's a combination of lack of sleep (got about 4 1/2 hours last night...) and general head and throat crap. Probably allergies, not a cold... but either way I don't like it. >_Oddly enough, not feeling the greatest seems to have gotten my imagination going. As of right now, I have three separate ideas (vague plot, a bit of a ( Read more... )

So, Mom and Dad are off to Boston for Mom's 30th high school reunion. They're gonna do some other stuff while they're out there - visit my aunt (Mom's twin, so it's her reunion too) and family; maybe visit my uncle (on Dad's side) and his wife; Mom's gonna meet up with some of the people from her online quilting group. They're gonna be gone until ( Read more... )

So, I hopped on to Amazon and went to check out the books that we're using for my html and javascript class... And I can't say I'm surprised by the ratings people are giving them.

HTML Complete Concepts and Techniques, from the Shelly Cashman Series... A rating of 2 stars, with 7 1-star, 4 2-star, 1 3-star, and only 2 5-star reviews (for a total ( Read more... )

...So I am very much in love with the three volume humor bl series Kachou no Koi by Kyuushuu Danji. I've been in love with it since I first heard the drama cd (only for the first volume). Then I found scans of the first two volumes of the manga on aarinfantasy. Then I bought all three volumes for myself ( Read more... )
