I blame my absence on my connection being a douchebag yet again, and house renovations. Things seem to be stable for the most part, though, and the best thing is...

MY ROOM IS FINALLY FINISHED!

Pictures to follow. I keep forgetting. ;;

Right, so~ went to Megamall on Thursday to meet up with 77ws, yukitsu, ficcentricity, menismastah and THE AMAZING MYTHICAL synatri. The plan was to eat at Saisaki for free, but we were cockblocked because everything was trufax expensive. THAT IS OKAY THOUGH BECAUSE THE CURRY PLACE WE WENT TO WAS AMAZING. ♥

The whole Koushien + Adzhu celebrated Yukeh's birthday the next day - we zipped over to the MoA area, where Yukeh treated us all out to the dampa.

There are no words to describe the Awesome of the food.

I don't think I'll be able to eat seafood the same way ever again. T^Tm

And of course, since it was my darling other half's birthday, I wrote her stuff.

Now to buckle down and wait until Yukeh and Khursten swing by the house. Plans, we can has! /o/

I've spent the last two days waking up early and puttering off to the office to use the fapworthy connection down there - I'm finally at home since Dad's not going to the office anyway, and it'll look weird if the daughter of the CEO is there while the CEO's nowhere to be found. o_o So, lolworthynet for me today~

I know I ought to fix the connection that we have down here at the house, but with Holy Week just around the corner, it's probably going to be pointless to call. I'll bug them to death after the festivities die down.

Anyway, in between net-mooching timez and tagging, I've been making good time with that backlog, both on the level of watching AND downloading. All the seasons of everything I've been following have been pretty cool, with the exception of The L Word. I just have one thing to say about that show:

Thank God it's over.

To balance out THAT fail, I've finally started on Gintama. Watching it now makes me wonder why I didn't bother starting it sooner.

Just got three fics to quickpimp. I've set a daily quota for myself: at least 1,000 words of anything every day until school kicks in. In as much as I'd like to complete my big projects, I also want to enjoy my break. We'll just see how that goes.

MINI FIC DUMP!

+ Hanazakari no Kimitachi e, Nakatsu & Kayashima: I am more land than water (for psychoshoujo)

So my Raidou Kuzunoha app for theskytides was finally accepted.






...I have no idea how to play him. OTL

I really meant to post sooner, but some little earthquakes on the personal front and a hell lot of work-related things kept me away from doing much of anything beyond dealing. I don't really feel the need to talk about the shistorms (those who need to know already do, and the rest of you really don't have to), so let's just go straight to what I've been up to.

Taboan 2009 looked like it was a huge success, from what little I got to see of it... Ateneo hosted the second day of the festival, as part of the merrymaking for the university's 150th year in service. I was pretty much all over the place because of the things they assigned me to do (logistics, ushering, tech support and documentation) but overall, I had a really great time. I also know how to use a video cam properly because of the exercise, so, if for anything, I learned something new?

I'd talk more about the ideas that were tossed back and forth during the conference panels themselves, but any of the epiphanies I had are pretty much out of my head right now. orz Crunch time, yo.

Crashed on Friday, so I pretty much huddled up alone at home and did random internet things beyond study for my class. Saturday was lovely - the group assigned to report on the readings were excellent. yukitsu met up with me after class and helped me check papers. Everything that needed to be graded HAS been graded now as a result. ♥ Had dinner out, met with anothermiyaw after, and generally had a wonderful Saturday.

Today has been extra productive as well - I finished three response papers out of the five that I intend to submit and the readings that I will be reporting on this coming Saturday. It's the lit conference for the senior lit majors in ADMU, and I'll be moderating the panels - this means that I can generally take it easy for the evening. If I'm still in this productive funk, though, I'll prolly start preparing for that report, or maybe get started on the fourth response paper. o_o

Now, for internet news. I made a musebox for myself over at yescomrade - if you're a friend, join it. If you're an partner-in-crime in any of my RPs, join it. If you're curious and you feel like tagging with me, join it. I'm willing to swing just about anything. ♥ Also, botling made pavlovsyaoi, which is the musebox that we share... it currently features our alternate universe in KHR where Hibari was found by Byakuran first. SHOW US YOUR LOVE AND WATCH US FLAIL.

Ignore the rest of this post. It's all shameless pimpage.

Serious Business
Premise
There's something very, very odd about the publishing industry down in Japan, and, in particular, a rather influential city named Namimori - everyone who's dipped their foot into that particular pond would know. At this moment, there are three major companies of interest locked in this game: Vongola & Associates, Millefiore & Company and the Varia. The recent economic crisis have forced the heads of these respective companies to do an almost total restructure, with mass promotions, lay-offs (or hiring, depending on who you are) and other scary things to note. Overall, they're all slightly bigger, slightly better organized, and more than ready to play. Publishing may be a game, but it's a damned serious one, with the fate of good reading and the people who seek to churn it out to the masses at stake. Welcome to our world, ladies and gentlemen. Yes. It's fucking serious business.

Was dragged out of bed early for the usual blood test, although it wasn't AS usual as the others since they drew a lot more blood than usual. orz My arm still hurts. ;A;

Overall, though, the day was lovely and productive! Zipped off to the dermatologist to pick up skin meds and get some more pimples zapped, then I went straight to Ateneo to do a little writing before my meet with the lit committee - we've got a big presentation coming up tomorrow, so all of us wanted to run through the material before the firing squad actual thing.

...I also got to watch BSG S4E12, which srsly made me hate humanity (or at least, some of the characters in the show, who serve as reflections for all the stupid sonnuvabitches in the world) for a bit. This series, it is awesome. It makes you question everything.

Got picked up by Peter after the meeting was finished~ picked up cigarettes for khursten and 77ws, then got myself dropped off at U.P. where I met up with yukitsu, ficcentricity and factorielle. Was introduced to the lovely mushroom18, whom I've just friended back. YAY FOR NEW NAKAMA. \o/

Dragged the koushien home with me after we said our goodbyes to mushroom18, where factorielle rolled around in bed for a bit and she and the other two thoroughly enjoyed themselves with the bubble wrap that g3sh0kku used to store her Christmas gift to me in. ...I guess that's your signal to send in more next time, 69 love. ♥ Anyway, after that craziness came craziness at the dinner table before I saw them off.

I'm chilling out now since I've finished packing - I'll have a pretty full day tomorrow with classes to teach and that big faculty meeting, but I plan on going home during my long break to cool my heels off and make last-minute arrangements. BATANGAS, GET.

Am seriously lagging with fic requests and my own personal quota for editing and writing stuff, and I can blame it on nothing else but me being oddly tired these days. I'm practically narcoleptic in the car, for one... s'like, I drop off to sleep every time I'm idle. *fail*

Here's a semi-peace offering, though. anothermiyaw celebrated her birthday recently, so this is my long overdue gift to her which is totally small and insignificant compared to the really pretty one kye_kestrel wrote for her!.


Title: Be sweet, be false.
Series: Katekyo Hitman Reborn!
Characters/Pairing(s): Gamma, Uni Giglionero
Rating: G
Summary: A conversation out in the sunlight.
Notes: Set in the distant future, the one Tsuna and the gang recreated after they came back to their time. Uni must be around twenty or so in this fic. The title is taken from the 31_days theme for August 23, 2007, and I do solemnly swear that this is my fail!attempt at doing their pairing yet again.

540 words.


Now I just need to get fics out for kasugai_gummie and mienai_hoshi. @_@
