Catching Up

[liralen]

I've gradually been catching up with life since the camping trip. Just reading, knitting, playing Okami with Jet. Yeah, it's like the seventh time I'm playing Okami all the way through, and it's fun to do again. Inspiring for painting, too. I need to take pictures of the ink painting I've been doing, and I need to do more

I'll just have to poke at you through LJ and ygallery. It's cool I completely understand about the ouchie hands....I spend too much time on IM myself. Hope to hear from you later. Much love.

(hugs) I'd like it if you did keep popping up here and on Y! It's good to know how you're doing.

Thank you!!

[bloodthirstylt]

I shall do so. *hugs*

I quite understand about the hands. You need to take care of yourself!

I do. I'm really bad at it, too. *grin* Not my default behavior, I'd rather just follow where my mind leads.

It's like Marlowe meets the Fairy Queens in all their Brothers Grimm and Catholic Church glory. Not the cleaned-up fairy tales one tells to their children, but the blood and gore and nasty tales that used to be passed as warnings between grownups on morality and faith

Ahhh that sounds so nice! ^^
You making Jet a sweater reminds me of how my grandmother would knit us sweaters. No matter what was 'in' atm, we would be walking around in a hand-knitted, one-of-a-kind sweater with just that on it. It was absolutely awesome and the other kids would be SO jealous :P My grandmother kicks ass and so, apparently, do you ;)

I really, really need to scrape time together to read twin-souls but it just isn't working atm... Sorry.

[liralen]

Mmm... sweaters. You have a very cool grandmother.

I mostly make socks for all the kids in the neighborhood, and they're all unique. *laughter* But Jet likes his sweater, and he picked the colors and everything.

The latest chapter is a monster, so I don't expect people to read it quite as fast as the previous ones. When you can, when you can, no rush on my part.

Oooooooo! I just finished playing Okami for the first time on the Wii-- what an amazing game! The mythological and historical references are like a Nihonophile's candy overdose: so much to see, going by so quickly. I've collected all but three of the Stray Beads, and those are going to be a pain to get, I can tell.

Repeating: what an amazing game.

[liralen]

Yeah, they're a *royal* pain.

I got all of 'em!! Happy happy. *grin* I have a game that I'm starting with the whole bead necklace and a bunch of other stuff as well, and I have a friend that doesn't want to play but wants to see all the Pretty. So it's a lot easier this way.

I love all the references, yes. It's really beautiful and gorgeously graced with so many legends.

I'm so glad you're enjoying the game, too!!
