Real Life update
So.
I've been more or less hiding on the internet recently.
Been really a month, minus the job search whining. That's going better now, by the way. My resume got spiffier. I'm even applying to a job near Tokyo in my other non-Japanese major's field. This makes me happy.

It's getting cold now, when I went outside to feed the cat, I went right back in to grab a jacket.
It's kinda weird to be back at home with my mom this time of year. It's been three years since I've had a fall with her, and it's disquieting that this could be the last one I could have with her. I'm really enjoying it though, but I'm not sure if that's just because my father's been really busy at work (tends to go in by 8, comes back for dinner at 6, and half the time goes back to work). Anyways, I went walking with her for about an hour yesterday at the local march restoration project and pointed to about every plant in sight and asked her what it was. She knew most of them, but she wants to go back with a camera for a few she couldn't identify. Operation Get Mom to Exercise seems to be a success (seriously, she said we could walk for half an hour, and we nearly spent two).

Writing wise, the sequel to Graveside Conversations has stolen my muse away from me. 10,000 words and counting. I'm not going to post anything until I get it all straight, but I think it might be done by Christmas, if the muse stays.
In other happy news, I'm should be going to SugoiCon this October, barring an interview that Friday or such. Anyone else out there going?
I've also been sewing some, and hopefully I'll have a skirt done in a few days. I finished sewing in the lining last night, but I need to hem it and paint it, since I'm going for this funky b&w checkered look, with uneven checks (...and yeah, that last bit makes things so much easier). If it looks good, I think I might post a picture~!
I also have the house to myself, and this is truly a wonderful feeling. If I wanna listen to J-rock in the basement at three in the morning while sewing and cursing, who's gonna stop me?
