it's raining
Why is it raining? It's supposed to be summer right now. :C
So, I'm almost done with shipping of preorders, as basically I just need to buy (a lot) more stamps and mail them out.
As for anyone who received it, were the books okay? They weren't damaged in the mail or anything, were they? Wrapping them in newsprint seemed like the best idea... or the only idea, really. I didn't really like doing that at first, because it didn't look very good... but eventually (and after much experimenting) I found a solution that finally satisfied my own desire for nice packaging. And the answer lies in... stickers.
So for a short while, my only excitement came from looking for pretty patterns to put on said stickers. Life... is exciting.
Although when all's said and done, it does look pretty nice when all put together, yes?
Anyway, I've forcefully drafted Schumie into the war helping me do a really long Ace Attorney doujin. What the hell am I talking about, you ask? Well, I'll give you a hint. A really big hint. Mafia AU.
In all honesty, I don't expect very many people to be all that interested in this, so this is to satisfy my inner fangirl test a book printer that's near by and seems pretty good. But hey. It has Phoenix. And Miles. And pinstripes. And they also smoke a lot. And pinstripes automatically makes everything 108.4% better.
So I was working on one of the pages yesterday, (and I promised Schumie that I wouldn't take a screenshot of this, but broken promises are the only real ones, right?) and I asked Schumie how I should lay out the words, and she drew me a few sketches on msn that let me know exactly how I should lay it out.
Here's the page in question:
Ooohhh, pinstripes. And cigarettes.
Here are the sketches that Schumie drew me:
....heheheheh. I just can't stop laughing at the crying eyes.
OH MILES, WHY MUST YOU BE SUCH AN ANGSTMUFFIN?
But, that's been life for me. Oh, I also got two new pairs of glasses. I was gonna get just one pair, but my dad liked another pair better, so he told me to get them both. I have no idea how I'm gonna wear two pairs of glasses, but hey, he offered.
Also: my demon Chiaki cosplay is 90% complete.
ETA: OH, KANEKO, MY HERO. I'VE MISSED YOU SO MUCH.
