I have my copy of Fruits Basket 23! But here's the problem: my habit is to tell myself sternly that I can't sit down properly with a new volume if I don't get enough work done (or whatever). And this week has been utterly insane, so while I've been working every day (and am way ahead of my deadline), I haven't been getting as much done as I want to ( Read more... )

I've had Fruits Basket 21 for about a week now, and I kept thinking I'd sit down and write one of my usual reaction posts about it (which usually involves comparing it to other versions I've read [well, Shadow's version], for interest's sake), but I don't really feel the need with this one. No big differences (or small changes in nuance) jumped out ( Read more... )

I've teared up over it more times than I can count. I've written not one but two pretty hefty pieces of fanfic spinning directly from what happens towards ( Read more... )

I'm not missing the irony that I don't have anything geeky to post about because I'm spending all my time doing geeky work. La! Productivity ranges from rewriting about a third of a book over the weekend to only getting one page done tonight, but so it goes. I'm learning some new things this time around, some of which can be applied to anything I ( Read more... )

...wow, I just checked my tags, and it's been a year since I last made a full reaction post to a new Furuba volume (with vol. 14 ( Read more... )

...oh, wait, it's that I'm an idiot about links. Again. >.< I keep bookmarking people's reaction posts to Heroes and VMars 'cause we're always a few days behind, and we just watched this week's Heroes... and then I clicked on one of the wrong posts. I'm going to pretend Really Hard that I didn't see that. Or that it was a joke. It was phrased ( Read more... )
