GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR ( Read more... )

Just got home, with Milly calling just as I crossed the threshold. It's warmed up considerably. When I set out this morning for Nike it was 55'F and now it's 82'F. I need to actually change my outfit a bit (I knew I might need to when I set out, so I layered) before I head back out for my third hour of walking today. My legs are getting ( Read more... )

It's another day in the Northwest. I can't stress enough how much I like living up here. Just yesterday one of my (many) brothers Shae suggested that the military wants translators, and I could live in Monterey, CA and work for them with just my B.A. in English. I was suddenly horrified. Move AWAY from Portland?! From all this beautiful green and ( Read more... )

I'm thinking today I'll go out and take some photos of this Oregon Awesomeness I keep blogging about. =D I finally got batteries for my camera! Yay! Next time I go to the Zoo, it'll be good. Oh, and I don't think I ever posted those pictures because LJ was being difficult. =( I edited the photos and had them all ready to post, but it just didn't ( Read more... )

Oh my god. I totally take back my ambitions for today. I'm changing it to: Translating HALF a Chapter Today. Or maybe just 15 pages, whatever comes first. I have like...weak brain muscles. I'm on page 9, and I feel like I'm going to explode. My head hurts, and I'm frustrated and confused...*brain dies* My eyes hurt! I'm a Squint! I squint at things ( Read more... )

Haha. Oh, good times. Gundam Wing soundtrack, character vocal tracks...Quatre's "I'm Your Friend." I've been thinking of translating it...the kanji's on AnimeLyrics.com. But, with this new assignment, I probably won't have the mental energy to do it for awhile. It's long and fairly complicated Japanese (in that it's casual Japanese...and there's no ( Read more... )

I've had several people ask me now the same questions...and I guess I've been assuming that everyone I know has similar knowledge as I do about publishing and the online-world, and that's wrong. So, let me clear up some of the confusion about Aerandria, scanlators, and my work ( Read more... )

Yay! It's official! I'm translating for my Dream Team! =D I'm still a Trainee officially, but I hope that soon I'll learn a lot and be able to handle things on my own ( Read more... )

Okay. I've really got to work on my Japanese. Like, woah. I only just BARELY passed the Aerandria test, and I didn't pass the Kanji Anime Lyrics test. I need to look up alternate readings for the kanji apparently...I don't know how I'll do that. It's so tricky already for me to decide what it should be translated to, let alone how it should be read ( Read more... )

This is what I translated? This is what I worked so hard on? ...I have been working to translate the Anime Lyrics Test so I can submit my lyrics. This what I had to do: take a furigana-less kanji-riddled block of text and put it into romaji (that means finding the correct readings) and then translate it to English. @_@ I've been working for hours ( Read more... )
