I'm feeling rather proud of myself. Why?
Due to this helpful guide by muchingching, with WMP and Get ASF stream (program) I managed to record most of Ousama no Brunch with the RnK cast today. It would have been easier with VLC player (no need for 'get ASF stream' additional program), but the viewing picture is a tad worse. And I finally got a program to convert ASF to AVI, which is ultra exciting. Sadly, the live streaming recorded quality is low and some parts messed up due to connectivity, so I made a new account on youtube and uploaded it there to share. (I'm sure a better quality version will be available on the clubboxes for download soon).
Anyway, Part 1 is just Ryo and Toda Erika, part two has the Nino VTR appearance

so moving back home made me realize that i'm actually quite liberal. in DC i thought i was very very moderate.

nikki's status: jail please *makes grabby hands*
stillesprite: go after jail BAIT

sanctified_x: but they're in revelations now... so i guess it's going to be over. idk what can be bigger than the apocalypse
anamuan: the next-morning clean-up

mycroftnext: johnny's had the same formula since time immemorial. he probably did some of these things in versailles too; Johnny's actually a vampire.

shatteredinu. go to kinko's this weekend so you can send spoon her candy~

cynicalism, about me and mycroftnext, as we helped her with her phonology homowork: ...you guys may have long since passed my cute quota for the day. :dies:

sillyandmorbid: you're supposed to be job-hunting. Since you're not writing/drawing the manga of our lives....

Tego: in fact, that's really why i'm friends w/ you, nikki. b/c i thought i might one day need a pad

It's the one where JD gets mugged outside the hospital, and then gets an acquired brain injury and has to relearn how to do everything ... I probably sound like a complete idiot, but if someone could help me out, that'd be great.  :)

It has been brought to my attention that the laws of the universe are such that, if we have an amicable relationship, you may be winning the lottery in due course.

Or finding twenty bucks on the street or getting a free box of doughnuts (probably not from the street).

Please note that if you win the lottery, I rightfully demand my portion. I understand you may be given this lottery money under conditions such as "You may only buy alcohol with this money" or "If you give this money away, it can only be to Nazis (and the Nazis can't give it to Ingrid, either)", but I'm sure loopholes can be found.

I will also accept a share of your doughnuts of karmic balance.

Last week actually went really well in terms of the breakup thing, actually.  We'd call each other for a half hour every night and be goofy at each other and nothing really changed aside from the fact that there was always a great big gaping hole where the "I love you" would go at the end of every conversation.  This could be because of the inert medication this last week (and I'm starting to think it was, because I'm on the second pill of my new package and I already feel this sort of filmy, muted hysteria settling over me. but more on that later).

( A plot twist from last night. )

http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2008/10/unslept-and-somewhat-slightly-dazed.html

Having a very odd day. In an end-of-tour slightly dazed state, flew to the UK, where I have four days of stuff to do. So far I've done half of my list for Day One -- Saw Holly (oldest daughter) and watched Amanda Palmer perform "I Google You" not on YouTube. In order to do the latter, I found myself agreeing to read the liner notes on the back of Who Killed Amanda Palmer as an on-stage introduction (which was fun), and then being yanked onto a stage to do backing vocals and what-the-fuck-am-I-doing-here-I-think-I've-turned-into-Davy-Jones tambourine on "Oasis" (which was... unlikely).

Problems with cell phones complicated by a just-received email from my assistant pointing out my phone charger is still at home.

Soon I get in car and head into deepest Cornwall for a birthday. Then straight back to London for a day of meetings and interviews. Then I fly home to the US and collapse, completely and utterly.

Yesterday Mom and I went to Mountain Shadow Ranch (she wasn't actually open but she was at home and let us come over anyway because she is a nice person) and I got a Mystery Batt to spin on Sunday (since am not taking dog this year, too many other dogs) and some peacock blue merino/tercel roving, some corridale fleece (washed and picked, not processed ... it's stupidly entertaining to pull the locks open, btw, like one of those washcloths with characters on them compressed into plastic wrap you get for kids) and some silk hankies. Mom loeved the shop of course. I am a GOOD DAUGHTER to introduce her to SO MANY AWESOME THINGS :Dv

So finally ( made it to the doctor today. )

And then I went and got delicious antibiotics, mailed off the yarn (there's delivery confirmation numbers, I will send you guys them later, but Selah should expect it Monday-ish and Ysabet I'm guessing Tuesday or so) and now I am going to go find the kitten and spend the pitiful remains of my weekend in bed.

OCTOBER 12 2008 - Memory Walk $160/$200

And if the memory walk site is being a pill about taking your money, you can also paypal me at meg at fenya dawt net or just email me and we can work it out.

(wait .... do I count the ten bucks Someone In Kingswood's Son gave me on Wednesday? I was telling him about the fundraising and he gave me it because I said I was at $140. And then I put it under Executive Dir's door. Someone Else in Kingswood's family nobly stumped up $250, so I am sort of in second place for building fundraising but one doesn't mind losing because of that, of course. Well, if I do, I'm at $170. o/)

Good morning, hostiles!

Episode 625
( Click here to read the commentary. )

So I'm going to rant about dorries again for a little bit. Yes, I'm trying to keep my involvement with the hobby on the less rather than more side, hence why I've sold off a number of them. But as I'm still making a business out of the hobby too, there's only so much distance I can keep. XD

So I do kinda want to buy another doll. The difference here being that rather than buying dolls to suit a character, now I'm just buying ones I like. (Which when I really think about it, could be potentially more dangerous, as there's a LOT of them I do like.) =X I still have a bit of an itch to amass an army of 70cm boys. Must resist this urge, or at least keep it on a very short leash.

But then hell, even while writing this, I'm already thinking "New dollie YAY!" but then also thinking "Argh, but then it'll need a faceup and a wig and eyes and clothes and and and..." which is not a pleasant thought.

Really probably, I just have an urge to spend money on shiny new things and dolls tend to be the most obvious option sometimes. =X And it really doesn't help that my default habit when at the comp goofing off/taking a break is to muck through the doll forums. I seriously need to find an art forum to check obssessively/perhaps even involve myself in so I'll be more inclined to like.. ART.

But in any case, I have my Onyx head now which is in need of a body. Which I might get for her. But before I make any purchases, I want to see what Soom's Libra doll is gonna be. Hardcore. If I'm lucky, I won't want it. >>

Logic says I shouldn't be spending any money at all, even if I do have a decent padding for the first time in god knows how long. I've almost as much of an urge to hoard my monies away almost as much as I want to spend it. And part of me is thinking if I'm going to spend money, why not do it on things for YOU for once? Which will end up being a lot cheaper on me than dolls would.

Man, it's painful trying to have self-restraint. And I'm usually really horrible at that, but I'm trying! XD So instead of sitting here thinking about it, I'm going to go be PRODUCTIVE and MAKE STUFF. 8D;

Also: i still really wish there was a goood art forum that I feel like I could settle in and be at home at. ConcerptArt still scares the bejebus out of me and I feel like I wouldn't fit in there at all, and Penciljack.. I'm just unsure of. I'd just start my own, but I don't have the connections or willpower or whatnot to make it a really awesome place.

My favorite pics of the shipper XD



over here

Então, estou dando um sinal de vida porque minha mamis, sakuraikaw , ficou preocupada.

Estou numa semana difícil para organizar-me, mas estou viva.

Meu trabalho sobre o Julgamento de Tokyo finalmente terá sua primeira reunião. Embora nem todos os integrantes do grupo poderão comparecer, espero que seja uma reunião produtiva para tirarmos algumas conclusões primárias, situar todos do assunto e conseguirmos definir bem o que vamos expor. Não quero me gabar, mas devo ser a pessoa do grupo que mais deve saber do assunto no momento, seja pelas circunstâncias de disposição de material, seja porque já estudei um pouco da História do Japão por conta própria.
Ainda é revoltante, para mim, não existir estudos de História para o ensino ocidental sobre a cultura e a história oriental, muito embora eu saiba que, talvez, isso não fosse apoiado pelos próprios orientais, uma vez que aqueles que prepararão os materiais e lecionarão certamente, em sua maioria massiva, nem sequer deu-se ao trabalho de estudar os escritos legítimos daqueles que têm em mãos esse conteúdo.
Contudo, por conta dessa ignorância sobre a real cultura oriental e os preconceitos e mistérios infundáveis que o orientalismo ostenta no Ocidente, nosso trabalho tenda a ser o mais dificultoso e, contudo, um dos mais curiosos na disciplina da História do Direito. Escavar os princípios histórico-culturais que desencadearam em uma guerra certamente é intrigante. Sobre o Julgamento de Tokyo, particularmente, tive pontos de vista destruídos e mais conhecimentos adquiridos conforme lia o volume da coleção de Claude Bertin sobre este assunto. Por exemplo, poucos devem saber o porquê do Japão ter aliado-se à Itália e à Alemanha de fato: interesses de dominação e assimilação cultural. "Mas o que diabos a Itália e a Alemanha têm a ver com o Japão para assimilar alguma coisa?", perguntam-me. Bem, o Japão era fascista. Acreditava que seu povo era superior aos outros por estarem sob o governo daquele que era o escolhido por Amaterasu, a deusa xintoísta do Sol (mamis, Sakurap é cultura, hein?!). O Imperador era uma figura ostentada pela plenitude de espírito, sendo que todas as suas decisões eram regidas pelo princípio de desejo ao bem da humanidade em geral. O povo, então, acreditando cegamente nessa imagem, via-se no dever sagrado de fazer com que toda a humanidade seguisse esse mesmo governante em prol do seu próprio bem, portanto que mal há em colocar outros territórios sob seu comando? "E se houver resistência?". Bem, façam do Japão as palavras de Jesus: "Perdoa-os, Pai, pois não sabem o que fazem". A benção vem com os disparos de armas de fogo daqueles que, na época, compunham a nação mais bem preparada para batalhas terrestres, aéreas ou marítimas. As alianças com a Itália e a Alemanha auxiliavam para o alcance de suas conquistas além do oriente, onde já lidavam com a China cometendo as maiores atrocidades possíveis com os civis e soldados rendidos pela sua conquista.

Isso é só uma pequena parcela do que estou tratando no meu trabalho. Há dúvidas de que estou completamente fascinada com esse tema? Sério, cada vez mais estou convicta de que, se eu não tivesse optado pelo Direito, teria cursado História, mesmo não rendendo muito dinheiro nem tendo interesse algum em lecionar...


Hoje à tarde, traduzi alguns posts do nikki do Nino, um raro post do blog do Jun e os relatos do Arashi em relação ao concerto no Estádio Nacional. Excepcionalmente hoje não me senti cansada mesmo colocando os zilhões de emoticons dos posts do Nino. Cada vez mais percebo um lado muito fofo neste (além dos photoshoots *¬*), um sensível no Jun (não, não estou gostando do Jun, mas me admira isso. XD) e admiro esses meninos por sentirem-se tão realizados cada vez que terminam uma fase.
Amanhã será o concerto em Taipei. ARASHI FAITO-OH~! |o| [/Yankumi mode off]

Também hoje à tarde traduzi um pouco mais das legendas do filme "The Tokyo Trial", filme chinês produzido em 2006 que tem relação direta com o meu trabalho. Estou tentando facilitar a vida dos meus colegas traduzindo-as porque esse filme tem três idiomas numa película só: chinês, inglês e japonês. Ainda não terminei, mas pretendo finalizar amanhã à noite para que eles possam aproveitar o fim de semana para assistir. Curioso é que um dos atores do drama paralelo ao tribunal no filme é o ator e cantor taiwanês Ken Chu, o qual é um dos integrantes do F4, conjunto musical formado pelos quatro atores que fizeram o F4 no drama "Meteor Garden", a versão taiwanesa de "Hana Yori Dango". Se isso me persegue? No crelo. XD


Hm, esses dias têm sido particularmente bastante frios em Curitiba. Não que me desagrade, bem o contrário, mas desanima sair da cama... Desanima muito. E para ir à academia então? Ahá, sempre resmungo que "estou louca de vontade de ir na ginástica", enquanto olho o tempo nublado, cinzento e os galhos das árvores balançando fortemente ao sabor do corredor de vento da minha rua. Sim, muito estimulante. Chega arrepiar de tanto êxtase. 8D

Ok, chega das minhas colocações irônicas por hoje.
Obrigada pelos comentários de todas, sakuraikaw , arrisor , yukimeru , dosqueen_kari  e dangobah ! ♥♥♥

I want everyone who reads this to ask me 3 questions, no more no less. Ask me anything you want (though I reserve the right to not answer or to answer evasively). Then I want you to go to your journal, copy and paste this allowing your friends (including me) to ask you anything.

The answer to any question about unfinished fic unless you are very clever and amuse me, is 'eventually'. Or, '*FLEES*'
