Today we finally had enough time to remember to order manga! What! We actually ordered manga!? I don't even believe it! ...I mean, I do, obviously, because I was there when it happened, but it's been so long, and of course lyschan keeps trying to get us to read serieses and we keep saying, "Ha ha, maybe someday!" Well someday is coming soon! ...For ( Read more... )

I don't know if I have anything to talk about today. Maybe I could talk about how much trouble we have reading manga for fun these days. I think it's so complicated I'm not even sure how to explain it ( Read more... )

It's time for another...Photo Phriday! Without any ado, here's the link! This time there's a whopping 71 pictures! Part of this is because when we got to the Arabian Coast, we were like, "Eh, just show 'em all!" They're not as blurry when they're not under the sea. Apparently we need a waterproof camera. (See what we did there? Because you' ( Read more... )

Well, we've just finished our first translation that's due at the end of the month, so the logical next step would be to start on the other translation that's due at the end of the month. Unfortunately, we don't have the book to translate, and when I mentioned it to our editor there seemed to be no acknowledgment. So we decided we'd rather take ( Read more... )

Somehow we ended up being ridiculously tired this weekend. It kind of makes sense for last weekend, because there was a lot of overexertion, what with Disneyland and unfamiliar experiences at fancy restaurants, but I thought this week was pretty normal. It was exceptionally hot and humid, though, and maybe we never really fully recovered from ( Read more... )

Whenever we get really busy with work, somehow a lot of fascinating articles pop up all over the internet. Not that we're getting distracted while we work--just that we take breaks to read email, and if there's something interesting, we read it. And I guess we just notice that there are more articles to read when we feel like we don't have any ( Read more... )

Thanks to a heads up from badtzphoto, we were able to take advantage of Kinokuniya's Black Friday free shipping offer! That's when we found out that Kinokuniya recently revamped their whole website! It's kind of...I think it would be less confusing for most people, but since we were used to the old version, it's going to be a little confusing for us until ( Read more... )

This morning, we were surprised to hear two thumps outside the door. When I went to see what it was, I found two packages, and I saw a FedEx delivery person running away down the sidewalk. Both packages were from Kodansha USA (I almost typed that they were from Del Rey...). I guess now that they've got their fancy new website up, or maybe ( Read more... )

I wasn't sure what to post about today, so Athena reminded me that a few days ago we did some math and realized that wow, we've turned in over three hundred translations! Only problem is, we're not sure what even counts anymore, with all the companies shutting down and shifting around and reorganizing schedules and dropping titles and stuff. We ( Read more... )

We finally bought a new computer yesterday! And it's sitting out in the living room, in its unopened box! Are you kidding me? We don't have time to set up a new computer! We've got work to do! ...Actually, we probably do have time to set up a new computer, but we've got this momentum thing going. And we only have a little bit of extra time, ( Read more... )
