Streets are filled with --

Only I would be able to live under the illusion that today is the 8th of June and not the 7th, thereby missing the remixredux9 signup deadline completely. Oh, brains, you do me such good turns. 8D Snap for busy days!

to-do before work after work at work:

[x] Pick up mathematics/aesthetics and give them a read through
[] Japanese notes/homework
[x] Get cheques done
[x] Email collaborator
[] pick up Lucifer

I AM AFRAID OF MY WORK EMAIL.

[edit] It took way too much time for me to open that combination safe. Way too much time.

[edit] I have work, and what do I do instead? I fix my CSS so that karanguni is more readable, I write posts about the Iliad in allcaps, and general Fail At Life(TM).

[edit] THINGS FOR WORK

[] email person #1
[] email person #2
[] draft document to leave in the mailbox of ViceBoss
tomorrow
[] call up person #3

Lots of things are churning in the ficbin, but nothing's ready to be shown to the big bad world yet. \o A couple of teasers/random thoughts:

Final Fantasy VII: Restorations III

Every time I embark upon a multiparter, my first thought is you are such a lazy bastard and then the next is oh my god what have you got yourself into now? It's kind of freaky that Restorations, in spite of being slow and short and snail-like, has evolved into a new category of STOP OH GOD WHAT ARE YOU DOING. Next up: reverse-colonialisation, Reeve being a better politician than the whole world combined, Rufus getting his ass summarily handed to him by the irony gods, Tseng v. Past v. Present, and Wutai Existing For Us To Make Stuff Up About It.

Batfic: pauper!AU

1. Dick and Bruce argue for great profit
   
2. Why does this sound like every other Batfic in the universe?
   
3. Oh, and Harvey Dent.

Gundam Wing

Zechs/Treize, because I NEED TO WRITE THIS SO BAD. I've this bad feeling that I'm going to need 8 hours in front of my episodes with a notepad and a few flowcharts before I get to writing it with any measure of confidence, though. But the nature of prediction! The ETERNITY OF FRIENDSHIP. Treize's blatant inability to keep his hands to himself! Zechs versus magnanimity versus monogamy! \o/!!

Antique Bakery

I am so stalled on this one, but Tachibana needs to go get (way)laid, courtesy of voksen and the good nation of Korea.

Vassalord

This needs a pimp post all on its own. Suffice to say: vampires (in a good way), no clear seme/uke relationship, no clear BL, NANAO CHRONO, mindfuckery on a level that I only wish I could emulate, and lots and lots and lots and lots of fun.

Here, go read scans, or head to ivory_and_horn's IJ pimp post.


Series I've finished ploughing my way through sans mercy or humility watching:

x Peacemaker Kurogane (uh, what)
x Kuroshitsuji (I like Sebastian's clothes better than I like the plot)

Any recs, guys? :D? Anything? Good historical stuff would totally rock my boat.



Also, I am pimping out this course that shadowwaker is doing. Please do head to this post if you want to sign up! I'll leave the objectives under a cut, but there are loads more details on that post than there are here, so please do go check it out. ♥

( Anyone up for Creative Writing-ness? )

Every once in a while, I decide to inflict upon myself the non-duty of doing something with my non-skill in non-art. I suck at it, and yet I do it. :D I blame the genius of people like dnatio_memoriae and pere_chan, who both make me feel like picking up the stylus and TORMENTING YOU PEOPLE TO RETINAL DEATH. Oh, an regicialdwarf, whose dance playlist kept me sane. Ish. Sanish.



( Full version, in case you dare to go where angels blah blah blah )

Only a few more papers left to go, then it'll be a straight month of flailing right through to the other set of major examinations. 8D This makes me feel alternately fuzzy and terrified.

Brain is beginning to congeal from the sheer lack of writing. I did a literature paper the other day after an aeon of maths and other weird subjects I realise now that I hardly like at all, and jesus, LIKE COMING HOME.

Have great plans for post-examination fic-writing sprees, in which I will sleep very little and write like a demon and laugh a lot at things that aren't there. Also planning on doing a few more craft-y things; mostly cards and letters and maybe t-shirt designs.

livelongnmarry stuff will get worked upon very, very soon. 8D Six notebooks in two weeks = writing like a demon in large handwriting. Next time, I bite off slightly less large chunks of things.

Hopefully people are still alive? (Psst: I still find it kinda funny how knightlineninja and logistika_nyx both ended up really busy around the same time I did. MAYBE THE CRACK MONSTERS, THEY ARE TAKING REVENGE, JA?) So much has been going on that I feel like my head's falling off. Y'know - hurricanes everywhere (no one is in the region, I hope?), the Republican ticket, the 7th anniversary of 9/11 (I'm so far away - but I remember that day more clearly than I remember a lot of things), my country being hilarious (suddenly we discover that we need licenses to operate valet services? Oh, plus we're tagging every single cigarette that comes in through our borders. Oh, and sueing the Dow Jones). LIFE.

Also, internets and LJ working proper-properly for the first time in a while - time to do the 1-week-late-responding-to-posts-and-comments thing...

[edit] There's another feel good anonymous meme going around; I pimp to pass it on. 8D Everyone needs more love! *TAKES OUT SHOVEL TO DIG IN*

Oh god (pun pun pun pun pun) studying religious ethics is kicking my ass. Kicking my ass. Need... more... porn... to... offset... brain...

Paranoid parents give me hives, so I'm hiding out in my toilet and writing fic before I leave. :D I love the power of wireless internet.

Looks like I won't/don't have time to write out a full Reno/Tseng/Rufus story (yet), so I'm contenting myself with mashing out a few hundred unconnected words and hoping that inspiration will hit me for this (and the thousand other things I owe various challenges) when I get back home.

( Hello, major Crisis Core, Before Crisis and Last Order spoilers, nice to meet you and your canon-based friends. )

Mmm, that totally sucked. 8D Hopefully something less pathetic and drabble-like will come when I get back from abroad. Until then, I'll be gone from now till around the 6th of June. Bye bye!
