In which Mr. Scrooge's housekeeper asks the Grinch for fashion tips...
Ugh. I was so busy on Christmas that I didn't get to post? I was responsible for Christmas roast after all... Except it was a grill, and it was lamb, and it was excessively windy, so after four tries at starting a fire--which I fail at in a really impressive way any time--I came in for help. My brother the superhero had glued himself to his bed with four DVDs and was surprisingly unwilling ot help. My dad didn't hear me knocking. My sister the pyro goes out to start it, and fails.
Dad finally comes out, and thinks we're all faking our tremendous incompetance.
Nope. This is 100% home grown incompetance.
Turned out nicely, anyway. The meat, I mean.
I'd list the haul, but every year I tend to get a CD or two, and a load of thirdhand classic books. This year's not much different, except I finally have "the Best of Queen" which...really puts me in a Good Omens mood. And should serve to explain why if anyone talks to me for the next two weeks, I might randomly belt out bits of "fat-bottomed girls" or the like. My apologies. The alternative is my Lovedrug album, and I can't repeat some of the words there, nor would they have quite the wit of Queen.
And I got Nabari, finally, so I can actually watch the dubs instead of jsut the subs. If nothing else it's making sense out of why everyone else's Gau seems so different from mine. XD (They made him a Greg Ayres!Gau. Which is fun, but a little different from the manga impression. He's frenetic and a little rougher, but also sweeter. Mm. But. Greg Ayres. Still. So not complaining. It's sad that I can recognize nearly every voice on that cast when I watch so little anime.)
Oh, and I recognized Caitlin Glass (the voice of Hiyono in the Spiral dubs) as Kazuho instantly. I feel ridiculously proud of myself. (And I have a suspicion I mentioned this before or discovered it earlier. Pff. OH SENILITY.)
Ngh.
...You know, if I'd been a few hours earlier, I would have come up and wished everyone a Joyous Kwanzaa?
Which would ahve left you with all KINDS of questions.
Alas. I was preoccupied getting my dose of MOG. Watching most of Nabari within the course of a day gave me SUCH a Nabari hankering, which has been successfully scratched just a little tonight, thank you, MOG.
Madness over not having anything to do is still settling in of course. Chances are, I'll have Nabari ficcage up sometime soon as a result. I've been working on it even before all of this. (You're all DOOMED.) I promised Ven-san after all. I'm HTML-ing the first two chapters of that semi-challenge for pre-canon Gau and Raikou. (MOG? You might remember. Your birthday present has undergone some changes...)
Mm...I have so many comments to see to. Aah, I feel like Yukimi. Moreso than usual. Pfft.
Darn it, Gau, why are you so popular?
Anyways...hoping everyone had a lovely chirstmas/chaunukah, etc.? Would love to hear about it since wandering around reading flists is getting rarer and rarer lately thanks to my excessive fail.
Might have pictures in a few days of the family's first season christmas-tree-bonfire-grill. Just a warning.
Sorry if this is scattered. I feel like such a jerk when it comes to my personal journal lately. I never seen to have enough time or focus to catch up on anything anymore, making me a definite jerk. Gah.
