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.
