Last time I updated, it was "I think that I'm coming down with a cold". Lo and behold, I did come down with a cold, and it knocked me out for about a week. After that, I had some scheduled time off to use some leftover vacation hours from last year that I didn't know I had. Spent that time (and the week) agonizing over an exchange fic. And now here I am.
That exchange fic didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped. Even though I love Netherlands/Norway, I still haven't written a good fic with them, not something with any actual length to it or any kind of development or anything. I'd originally hoped to do that here, but I ran out of time... If I hadn't been knocked flat out by that cold, I might have been able to manage it because I'd had a pretty decent idea in the beginning, but it just didn't happen.
Anyway. Finally finished playing Phantom Hourglass. Going to start on Phoenix Wright next! I'm really interested in seeing what all the fuss is about. Most of the people who recommended it to me have similar tastes to mine, so I think I'll enjoy it. As for LoZ - well, I didn't 100% Phantom Hourglass. Not even close. After a while, I got kind of frustrated with it, because there were lots of fiddly little things that I had to do in order to complete all the subquests and upgrades, and eventually I was so ready to be done with the game that I just went ahead and finished it. This is quite different to my feelings about A Link Between Worlds... I definitely preferred ALBW to PH. Though Phantom Hourglass does have some good points. (Mainly, Linebeck. I love that grumpy greedyguts to pieces!)
... Other than that, nothing's going on with me. I've been spending so much time flailing over that exchange thing that I haven't been able to do any other writing. And to be honest, I don't know how much would get done even if I weren't. I'm kind of poking half-heartedly at the stuff in my WIP folder. None of it inspires me right now. But it's possible that I'm just sick of looking at it. Especially that big long thing I was working on - then again, I've been taking a break from it, so I can't possibly still be sick of it, right? Maybe I should look at it again.
I received a huge package of doujinshi yesterday. Bought it from a friend who'd been downsizing her collection. I'm really satisfied with what I have here; it's a nice little package. Still need to go through everything to get a look at what, exactly, I have. Probably the best one is a nice little historical Den/Sve - I was surprised she had it, actually, as she doesn't really like that pairing. Regardless, going to need to update the photos in my collection index... but I am lazy, and also le tired.
Aside from that, not much is going on. Started up some new roleplay threads, which is nice. There's a great plot-oriented one that I've been working on for a couple of weeks now with a friend who plays Germany, and then I started up one with a buddy who plays Belgium. We used to thread together all the time, so it's nice to be doing something together again. (And it reminded me of how much I like that pairing... I should write something with it eventually.)
