Was carving a new calligraphy pen today when my fingers and the art knife broke their uneasy truce. I was trying to go at it faster by cutting chunks, or rather, 'zipping' off chunks from the bamboo brush. Cutting TOWARDS my hands, if you recall.

You know how Azrael from Outpost Nine has a 'Dodgedick Sense'? I have no such equivalent ( Read more... )

Delayed this entry a bit because I thoiught I'd have something shiny to show you all today - but the shininess will be delayed at LEAST 2 days more. See, after the time when Ultra Black (now Junis Black) broke down, mom proposed getting a laptop. Now it was time to accept the offer, and after a couple of mishaps, it finally came yesterday! It's so ( Read more... )

Today...well, today was just one of those days. I wasn't able to finish my PS assignment, much to my chagrin. Had to concentrate on holding everything together for a few minutes so I could get to the toilet and have a good cry. Veccin' conditioned Asian drive for perfection. Just so annoyed with myself. It was just a photo montage! What the hell's ( Read more... )

While it is marginally better than having a child fathered by that vector of a chief of staff, WTH possessed Dana Stowe to ask Joe Riggs @ Josh Coxx (new-age thinking girl's manmeat yessir!) to be her sperm donor?

WHAT IN THE FLYING VECTOR AVICI HELL POSSESSED HIM TO SAY YES...Suddenly, and painfully, I understand the jealousy of a Mary Sue writer ( Read more... )

Delilah: I read your drama script and I remembered. There's a famous old story in Japan called 'The Promise of the Chrysanthemum.' (Kiku-ka no Chikai)
MS: He~eh? O_o~~

With that in mind. Has anyone heard of this story (菊花の誓い？) and what it's about?

(crossposted to japanophiles, japanophile japanese)

Script done, edited, re-edited and finalised! (phoo!) The cast has also mostly been set - me and trirose have a deal going on so that one of us is the precious child in the act and the other plays the evil general. At the moment I get to be the Mary S...*cough* little girl @ Komon Kikumi. tanlammy may have run into a little trouble being paired with yaoi-buff YJ ( Read more... )

When it comes to the drama script, if I can't go for authenticity over the actual clash-bang-clang history of the Warring States period in Japan - who fights who and who won where with what - I'm trying to make sure I get the actual place names and old-ish sounding names. Since the link was dropped from encyclopedia.com, my memories section ( Read more... )

Tadaima desu.As it turns out - the motherboard was NOT damaged, and all my files are safe. Phew! *kisses all her pretty oekakis* Ultra Black has been reborn as the sleeker, blacker, shinier Junis Black *gets bricked by all the UltraFans*. Just have to re-download my IM applications and it's back to business. :D Just in time, too. I have to do ( Read more... )

Weehee! Gary liked my 'Tea Mongol' idea for the Sense Memory skit, and the joke got through to the others, too. Happy, happy Mweeble. We did more internalisations today - happiness, pain and laughter. I was at a loss as to what to do for pain when I remembered Nexus reeling from all the abuse Garberos(?) and Golgolem laid on his poor arm, so I ( Read more... )

PS goodness again. This time did some mad photo montaging. Almost botched the whole thing at the end, but managed to save it with a little 'quick thinking' (and plenty of cursing!)

We did 'anger' and 'fear' in Drama today. Had quite a profound effect on some of us, because I was almost in tears by the time I was done and tanlammy's hands were shaking ( ( Read more... )
