Got Fun Fun Factory volumes 3 and 4, FLCL volume 1, Flame of Recca volume 33, aaaand… Three other things, I think. A random manga that I didn’t realize was volume 10, volume 18 or something of Hikaru no Go, and a random B-Boy manga. I looked for Saiyuki, Wild Adapter, and Furuba, but no luck.

I think I’m starting to understand Fun Fun Factory, which amuses me greatly. I like the rocker kid who sleeps all the time and sees everyone as pumpkins. Hee hee.

There were these cute little knee-high kids at the store, and the girl was like, “Mama! Kuro Kaado setto hoshii!” And I was like, “Neechan has that. Aww, kiddie Japanese is so cute!” And then she and her brother were talking and I couldn’t help but listen, cuz I could actually understand them. Whereas when their parents spoke… No comprende. And then there were people up front saying stuff like “Zeeeeenbu!” and I was like, “What about zenbu? Shi-di no ka?” And then I was thinking in bad Japanese and I was happy.

The car ride was amusing. We tried the directions (and variations thereof) about a half-dozen times, then put our trust in the Force and got there without further ado. And then we had no idea where we were, so Dad taught me to use the Force. Apparently my Force is a catboy. He kept sticking his head down alleys and then he was like, “Why are you following me? You’re supposed to go that way, silly!” But to make a long story short, the Force got us out without a single wrong turn. I think it was the shortest route, too. Creeepy.

Tomorrow Shan-san visits. Yay!

I like kitties. Do you like kitties? I think kitties are wonderful.

I live. Update is being worked on, despite computer problems. Concert tonight, tomorrow night, and a trip to Big Honking Manga Store on Saturday. Life is good, aside from the annoying kid on the bus who must die. Update includes at least two fics and a buttload of art. No Anime Boston pics yet, as I must yoink copies from people who actually have photos. And I don’t want to scan that many pics.

Fics are Yami no Matsuei (Gensokai) and an original/FF7/FF8/FF10 thingy. There might be more - yes, a Muraki fic. I don’t remember if there’s other stuff. Probably. I’ve been writing a lot lately.

What to buy in the way of manga… Mm, choices…

Oi, minna! Stephy-chan updated my website with Chapter 2 of Sapphire Waters and an essay from The Asani that’s spoilery for later chapters. Go, read!

Revamp 53% done. Projected amount completed by the end of today: 77%. Amount needed for revamp to be posted: 92%.

It’s coming along nicely, folks. Keep an eye on that doofy Saiyuki layout, ’cause it’ll be gone soon.

Valkyrie died on the 19th. Spoony Bard died on the 20th. Tsuzuki died today. *sigh* I still have Max, ?-chan, and RX-7. Two mice and a fish. Yay. On the other hand, I have curtains. And a plan for remodelling my room. Yanno, once it’s clean and I have enough money for a folding sceen and a table. And purple paint. And bamboo. And a corner shelving unit. And various baskets. And… You get the idea. But hey, I won’t have to worry about where I’m gonna put my pets. Cuz, yanno, they’re dead.

Cheerful? Me? Sure, why not.

On top of all this, for the past four days I’ve been a weird kind of sick that involves near-constant dizzy spells. And Dad won’t let me get a video card, so no RO. And I still have two detentions left to serve. And it looks like I’ll be repeating my junior year unless I drop out. Wow, this week has been stellar.

I probably won’t blog for a while. Neechan, it’s all yours. (But keep your eyes peeled for actual site updates. The revamp is nearing completion, and that means fresh fic.)

I ditto what Crawford says.

Elise made a winamp skin of D’Kreishan and Ahdry from Sapphire Waters, so if you like the story, go download the skin! It’s very pretty, and the picture is made from my favorite picture of the two.

It’s under random. There’s also a skin there that I helped her finish. ^_^

And, Stephy-chan has finals, but when her finals are over she is going to update my webpage, so look forward to it in about two weeks.

See? I’m not the only one to write Schuldich and Reno fic. (No yaoi, boys, just zombies.) And it’s by Sabina-sensei too, which means that I have a sudden urge to write Schuldich and Reno fic. What AU to put it in, though? A curious question.

This week sucks. Yesterday Spoony Bard (my hamster) died, and the day before it was Valkyrie. Yes, Chibi-kun, Valkyrie died. But it was very quiet and peaceful-like. Spoony’s death was not quite so quiet, but his brain shut down long before he died so he wasn’t in pain at all. Heart failure in the worst way. The worst part of it was realizing he was still alive, though. And then I just sat with him, keeping my finger on his pulse. It was sad.

I might be giving Max and Tsuzuki to Wormtail. That would leave me with ?-chan and RX-7. I’m also looking at getting a job. Ideally, I’d like to work at the animal hospital as a receptionist, but I’ll probably end up at Burger King or something. *sigh* I hate fast food.

Gonna get a video driver off of Ebay for less than $20. Seeing as the cheapest ones in the store were $50, I now like Ebay.

Been working on a couple major school projects. I’m looking forward to my Civ final. I get to wear my costume into class. And I get to cook. And torture my classmates. Sounds like fun to me.

Finally got myself registered, got a copy of the game itself from Elise-san, eventually remembered to let it past the firewall… Only to find that Pooter-san’s video card/driver is pathetic. I can’t play RO. Do you know how much this sucks? And there’s no chance in hell of getting a better video card, because A) we have no money and B) Pooter-san is getting really creaky, so what’s the point of wasting money on a new video card? Which makes me want to cry, because I really wanted RO. Really really really wanted. Wanted? Still want. But now it’s more than downloading problems keeping me away from it, it’s hardware. Or at least, I think video cards are hardware. They should be. But at any rate, I am rather upset. Not to mention that I had to come home because the heat and the pollen were making me walk into walls. You think I joke? It was snowing. Except that it’s 80 degrees out. Guess what the white stuff was? Yup, pollen. It’s really gross.

Damn, I want RO. *cries*
