Not dead yet! Playing Crisis Core. Will come out of hole once Tseng stops making me drool over my keyboard. Exciting! Even more exciting: short drabble of mine got translated; such things have never happened before, v. cool. Brain melting. Squeenix hasn't spat me out yet. Nghhh.

Things to write:

* Crisis Core fic: Tseng, Zack genfic; two of them cooped up too damned long in helicopters with no one else around and Tseng is about as much of a conversationalist as Zack is a deep thinker: "Stop looking at me like that." "I wasn't aware I was looking at you in any particular way." "... You're getting on my nerves." "... You shouldn't go after her. Aerith, that is, not any of the other five or six women you flirt with." "?!$@)$(&"

* Crisis Core fic: Tseng, suits and beaches; Zack, a cool drink and fighting with umbrellas. Sand gets into guns; but Turks can't be perfect all of the time.

* Ghost in the Shell fic: Togusa on Batou in a genfic sort of way: "You're not the marrying type, are you?" Batou keeps getting angstier and angrier, and what can he do, really...

* Discworld fic/series: A day in the life of Rufus Drumknott~~, or how he let go and learnt to love the bomb.~~

Update on lyfe, the universe and everything:

% My brain is officially dead-on-vacation and ignoring the exams-that-are-fast-upon-me.

% Rewatching Ghost in the Shell was the best idea I had all year. Solid State Society left me screaming with happy tears of confused but determined joy. Oh, Togusa. ♥ You're so shiny when you're trying to take control of your own life and everyone elses', and all at the same time, too!

On the same note, listening to the English dubs makes me want to cry. Y-y-y-you turned Saito, the worlds most squishy, prickly, poker-winning silent sniper voiced by Toru Okawa (Roy Mustang, Rufus Shinra) into some squeaky adolescent boy! Batou's voice has been put through a cheese shredder! Aramaki sounds like a disgruntled ape*!

*more than he's usually allowed to, too!

Some pretty pretty Solid State pictures because nghghgh (rollover, mice, rollover!):

No sniper should sound or act this amazing. I gues he has to make up for the fact that he also looks like an AWESOME CYBER PIRATE.

And Batou, oh Batou, the look of defeat on your face broke my heart and face and soul in three trillion places.

THEN THE BOTH OF YOU TOGETHER IN A LIFT. SO BEAUTIFUL.

% Final Fantasy Tactics make me scream too, but in less life-affirming ways. God damned chocobos mutter mutter mutter.

% Anyone know a good place for iconsesses? I do need some new ones, oh yes I do.

% The internet is made for distractions. All this time, I've thought that the alt tag used in coding for images was used as a "tooltip" mouse-rollover-description-thingy and as the alternate text shown if you disabled images in your browser. NOT SO. Apparently, IE - in all its infinite wisdom - confused the two. "Alt" tags should be used only as a text shown when images are disabled - tooltips should be written under a title tag. NEVER KNEW THAT.

Firefox, however HTML compliant, unfortunately truncates tooltips, so my insane rants up on the images above can't be seen. D: Workarounds: install this plugin or just right click and view. :D People who read XKCD should know. *g*
