the kangaroo communique --> back-up style!

Spent Saturday out with kye_kestrel and yukitsu, where we ate good food and watched Forbidden Kingdom. IDK, PEOPLE, I LIKED IT. I mean, really: how can you go wrong with Jackie Chan and Jet Li in one movie? And, and, it was a nifty take on the whole Journey to the West thing. Or maybe I'm the only one who finds it nifty because I didn't know jack shit about the movie and just watched it because Jackie Chan and Jet Li were both there. *coughs* ANYWAY I LIKED IT.

Of course, beyond the movie there was crack and plotting involved. I gave birth to three new characters, a new pairing and a motherfucking Zombie Attack ala Silent Hill/Resident Evil for Bloodsport. Best thing about the new characters is that I may be able to use them for certain parts of Endtimes. AND TWO OF THEM ARE LIKE MY TRIBUTE TO KATEKYO HITMAN REBORN. *bad fangirl, y/y?*

...Which reminds me: I really have to go over the old profiles and fix them sometime. Yeah. Someday. Uh-huh.

Yukeh and I stayed out til late because the driver had to attend to Peter and my grandma~ that was cool, though, because Yukeh slept over here anyway. Parents and my older brother were out attending a wedding in Pangasinan, so we managed to have another sleepover koushien. For great justice!

Today went by nice and slow. I even managed to sneak in a cigarette. ♥ I may play a bit more of Baroque tomorrow after I get home from doing Ateneo stuff... assuming, of course, that I go out at all. Maybe I'll just run my errands on Wednesday or something. *lazy* I could also spend tomorrow looking for my memory card. It went missing somehow. o_o I'd ask my older brother about it, but he can get annoying to talk to when it comes to stuff like this.

...I really do want to find that memory card though. I mean, if I don't find it, that means I have to restart several games. ._.

le_esperance, I'm nearly done burning the stuff I owe you. It took a while because of... well, stuff. BUT YEAH. How shall I get it to you? Will we meet up in ADMU?

Hurhur. Might marathon some more animu tonight, and then maybe get some plotting done. If the wrist doesn't start acting up again, I just might start on my birthday gift for Yukeh. 21 FICLETS/DRABBLES/WHATEVERS, YO.

Is it just me, or has the Internet suddenly gotten universally crappy down here? I mean, I'm finally not downloading some huge-ass file off BT, so I can effectively snatch stuff from DDL sites, but browsing has been strangely difficult. o_o ...Anyway.

Had my first regular day at school since I got back from my immersion, and I was greeted by a quiz in Theology 141 (which I totally failed) and a thesis class session wherein Sir DM had those who were ready submit their "final draft" before D-Day. He also proceeded to chew out those who weren't in the clear, and outline both the flow of the actual defense and exactly what was expected of us in terms of conference requirements. As of this moment, I am certain that I will be presenting my paper as a part of Panel 6 on either February 20 or 22 at the Natividad Galang Fajardo Room, Dela Costa Building. Mark your calendar, folks... I think you're all welcome to come and watch.

Righto. So I know I ought to be a little more freaked, but to be honest I only get a little twitchy when I'm sitting with the lit block, discussing thesis matters with Sir DM himself. I guess I could say that I'm very confident about my thesis -- I mean, I've run it by both Sir DM and Sir Vince (my mentor), and both of them say that it's already good. I think at this point it's just a matter of making sure I do even better than just good, and hoping to God that I don't get bitchy readers. I've already anticipated what some of t

On that note, I will be posting my thesis under a filtered f-lock soonish. I'll need people to read through it and help me condense the paper, as one of the pre-conference requirements is an extremely condensed version of our thesis that clocks in at about 8-10 pages -- perfect for a 20-minute presentation with a supplementary Powerpoint.

Beyond the thesis freak outs and Theology massive failures, I hooked up with archangel_dream, who showered me with chocolate chip cookies and more moneyz for the PSP Fund. I'll be cashing in my check from work soon, so I'm very, VERY close to my goal... if I scrimp over the next 2-3 weeks, I should be able to hop over to Greenhills and buy me a PSP before the lit conference. *fufufu*

My head was full of thesis by the time I got home, so the trip over to Pio's apartment was a very refreshing change of scenery -- Peter's birthday became a sorta excuse for everyone to get together there, since my Tito Lorrie and Tita Faye will be returning to the USA very soon. We celebrated with popcorn, tortilla chips and Toblerone fondue while Peter rolled around on Mai Mai and Pio's guest bed. Kid's tuckered out from all that parting, I think.

Other small victories include:

1.) Getting more dermatological gunk for my skin because I might as well have a clean face since I haven't been exercising.
2.) Backing up the 22 GB of Hentai titles that I kept from the original 53 GB download.
3.) Sorting more of my music.
4.) Nearly finishing my Darker than Black fanfic. Give me a bit more time; I may be able to wrap it up by the end of the week.
5.) Bonding with Liana. She's such a tough kid, but she does seem to like me. :3

Going back to work tomorrow. Dad won't be around (he's going scuba diving in Batangas again), but I think Pio will be, along with some of my aunts and uncles.

Because team7 asked, and because Endtimes has found a home there.

India and the Conundrum is an online serial for original fiction put together by team7. It's beyond a regular web magazine, as it provides a lot of interactive features, such as review & rating options, quick printing, RSS feeds and plans for a forum where readers can meet writers can meet editors. Come and visit the webbie for yourselves, and plug it like crazy if you love us~~

Beyond plugging, team7 has also aired a wishlist for India, as it is in need of the following, lifted from her LJ:

1. New serials -- If you've got a multi-chapter story which you would be interested in sharing (for free), please consult the submission guidelines at the site.

2. Illustrators -- Preferably each chapter will be posted with at least one illustration every month (after the fashion of light novel serializations, you could say). Also preferably, there will be one artist illustrating for one serial/author.

3. Editors -- I'm sorry, I don't really have time to edit or exhaustively proofread every chapter submitted. I will at the moment be processing submissions for new serials and will be reading each chapter before uploading and suggesting cosmetic edits when necessary. (There are particular guidelines to accepting an editorial position; please visit the site for details)


And yet ANOTHER plug: READ OR DIE!!!! ...Donate to it or die too. Hee.

I have lost 2 DVD discs and counting to DVD burning weirdness on Ubuntu. *mourns*

Have I mentioned that Battlestar Galactica now holds the torch for the Worst Mass Space Fighter Pilot Death that Extras Can Face Scene that I have seen in years?

Um. Yeah. I guess that's it. @_@ Now, I better go and work on Bloodsport 8. I think yukitsu must be getting visions of strapping me down to a chair and sitting on my back until I put it out.
