Leaving tomorrow. Surveying house to figure out all the stuff I need to do before I can. My last minor batch of work didn't arrive in time for me to do anything with it, which annoys me because that means that when I get back, on the 9th, it'll be sitting there waiting with a big '2 DAYS TO DO ME' deadline attached. Which I kind of don't need. But oh well.
Destination:
jo_lasalle's, then a quick side trip to see my folks, which will provide a welcome opportunity to meet up with
ina and hopefully
rheasilvia, then back south to Julia's for five more days of madness.
I have stockpiled cat food like there is no tomorrow, so that A. will have a number of choices if (when) Yami decides to play fussy again. His current fallback is to feed her the cat equivalent of a hamburger, which makes her happy and me sad. I'm hoping that the presence of plenty of premium tuna and chicken cat food will prevent some of that. (Some of the chicken has pumpkin in it. This puzzled me a little when I bought it, but I figured there'd be a reason. Then I discovered it puzzles Yami, too, to the extent that she'll carefully lick the chicken off those weird orange bits. Damn.)
On the current grrrr and arrrrgh that's going through KAT-TUN fandom again, all I can say is that rather than read between the lines of what the other members say (YOU KNOW THE THING I MEAN) I prefer to read the very straightforward statements Jin himself has made. Keep the faith, guys?
Also, I laughed so much at the idea of Nakamaru doing Koki's solo that I had no space left in my brain for worry about anything. That's just priceless. PRICELESS.
Because I'm not going to be here for eleven days, I've been advancing randomly through my KAT-TUN calendar to get at least a day to look at the nicest pics. It means that for the last half week I have been in a state of constant confusion about what the day/date actually is. Today is 3rd July, and then it'll stay on 4th until I get back. Apt, inorite?
This is such a random post. It's just, I figured I should stop disappearing for weeks on end and actually, well, post a bit more, only IDK what about. I couldn't care less about Wimbledon, and I'm not following the World Cup (except very cursorily to see how far Japan get and whether Germany manage to kick England out). I keep listening to Tipsy Love and Yellow Gold on repeat. (Stupid ignorant question: is that really hip-hop? It sounds... idk, just too pretty?) And I can't make up my mind which of the three reasonably clear versions of Paparats I have by now I like best. I SO HOPE THERE'LL BE AN ALBUM. WITH VIDEO!!!
k_julia and I were discussing the news about the Yamapi CD recently, and how that would appear to set an excellent precedent.
Finally, a sort of PSA. Because I'm going through one of my neat-freak phases, I'm about to do a little friends cut/unsubscribing. This means next to nothing since I don't normally lock my entries anyway. But if I can't even remember when we've last 'spoken', I figure we either don't read each other or don't have anything to say to each other any more. It happens, it's just life. Nothing personal. And maybe you've been waiting for the opportunity to defriend/unsubscribe me, and were just too shy to do so. :-) But do let me know if I made a mistake or you fell victim to my failing memory, and I'll add you back at once!
