Hahaha, there is one word and one word only to describe this post:


LATE



It's my own fault, really. I didn't want to do a Comic-Con post until my pics were developed-sadly,when I finally got them back, the great majority of them were fairly bad. Mostly the problem was they were really underlit, which goes to show the wisdom of buying the cheapest camera brand. -___-; Next year Kodak for sure!

Anyway, Con summary, then pics.
( Highlights and Pics, for you! )


( InuNeko Stamp! Doujinshi )

( Cut for fear someone who knows me in RL will see this )

And dude, I was up for this. I thought was just imagining the floor vibrating. 0____0

Happy Tanabata, everyone~~~~~~!!!!
And to haku (whom kindly remains friended with me in spite of my horrible neglect, bless her), HAPPY BIRTHDAY!



Sorry for teh sucky shop, since I don't have HAXX0RZ photoshop skills like most people on my f-list. Still, it's got Jensen Ackles fine self, so that should count for something, right? XD

After much, MUCH schedule conflict, I finally managed to meet up with Boeken at his place on Monday. He and his girlfriend managed to translate 9 pages of my Archer x Rin doujinshi, Ease, and one one-shot komi before we had to call it quits. I'm definitely very pleased with how much we got done in just a few hours, though. Hopefully next time we'll finish the entire doujinshi. Archer x Rin scanslations for the greater good! XDDDD



Oh, Archer, you flirt. Can't say I blame Rin for being embarrassed here.

And yeah, the font sucks. It's my first time editing, what did you expect? *cowers in shame*

Speaking of F/SN, the July Challenge is up (a little late, I know). All those on my f-list interested
in F/SN, check it out. The prize is pretty good this month. ;)

And a meme from fujiwara_san:
1. Leave me a comment saying anything random, like your favorite lyric to your current favorite song.Or your favorite kind of sandwich. Something random. Whatever you like.
2. I respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better.
3. You WILL update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and offer to ask someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be asked, you will ask them five questions.
( Questions AND Answers? It's like a two for one deal no one cares about! )

I haven't posted lately-it seems I just haven't had the energy nor inclination. It has been a pretty hectic week, and I sprained my ankle at work on top of everything else. When your job pretty much consists of standing up for hours at a time, this can be very painful. It's mostly fine now, but my Achilles tendon is still feeling pretty tender, so I'm being careful.

I think I did mostly okay on my finals. It's out of my hands now, at any rate.

I've caught up with Darker Than Black, at least up to episode 10. According to the animesuki forums (not the best of sources, but whatever) we should be getting Yin backstory around episode 14. MOAR YIN, PLZ.

Ordered a cute Archer x Rin doujinshi from jpqueen, which should be here in about four more days, since they're pretty reliable when it comes to that sort of thing. And hello, nekomimi!Archer always wins. ALWAYS.

Also speaking of Team Red/Black, ficrec for any Archer x Rin fans out there: this unnamed ficlet by annwyd is excellent. I really hope she writes more.

I'll be getting my paycheck Friday, too-a Very Good Thing(moreso than usual, I mean). Why, you ask? One word, friends.


Discworld.(Or, as Death would put it, "DISCWORLD".)


Yes, I finally, after all these years of putting it off, bought The Colour of Magic (An amusing if overly succinent summary of which can be found here0 8 days ago. Since then, I've bought eight more Discworld books, and will insatiably continue to devour more. Seeing as there are 36 in all, this is going to add up pretty quickly. Hence the necessity of getting more money. By far my favorite characters are Death and Rincewind, although there are many others I'm pretty fond of. Anyway, I really can't do a summary that'll do the series justice, so I'll just leave it to the wikipedia folks. This I will say: what I love about Discworld it's that it's fantasy with a nice healthy helping of snark-and well done snark at that- parodying everything under the sun, that nonetheless has it's moments of transcendence.

A book series just doesn't get much better than that. Now, to find the SkyOne adaptation of Hogfather.

But first: HAIL PRATCHETT! And some words of wisdom from the master himself, concerning:

MODELING...
I think I would like to go into modelling. Of course, I don't know how to do it, and wouldn't be any good at it if I did, so I'm going to employ someone to walk the catwalks on my behalf. It would still be me, of course...

--Terry Pratchett learns Naomi Campbell has "written" a book

GOVERNMENT...
I must confess the the activities of the UK governments for the past couple of years have been watched with frank admiration and amazement by Lord Vetinari. Outright theft as a policy had never occured to him.

--Terry Pratchett

HEALTHCARE...
I think that sick people in Ankh-Morpork generally go to a vet. It's generally a better bet. There's more pressure on a vet to get it right. People say "it was god's will" when granny dies, but they get angry when they lose a cow.


--Terry Pratchett

*DIES IN A COMBONATION OF HYSTERICAL LAUGHTER AND SERIOUS PITY FOR THE CANON F/SN CHARACTERS*

And I got my paycheck, so y'all know what that means: THE WANT LIST!

Want:Honeysuckle (not at all suggestive *eye roll*)[Archer x Rin Doujinshi], Circle:WNB/Mako Tatekawa, Setsu Yuena　

Really, really, REALLY want: Ein Edelstein [Archer x Rin doujinshi], Circle:Minx. A bit more expensive than the first one, but it IS longer, and the art looks fantastic. It's all one circle too, so the style is probably consistent.

Edit: HAHAHAHAHAHA IT'S MINE, ALL MINE, YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'VE BEEN WAITING SOOOOOOOO LONG FOR IT~~~~~~I'D LIKE TO THANK THE U.S. GOVERNMENT FOR ESSENTIALLY BUYING IT FOR ME WITH MY TAX REFUND, YES.

I HAS DOUJINSHI, YES I DO. *does happy dance of Archer x Rin glee* SCROLL OVER IMAGE FOR COMMENTARY, PLZTHX.

Title: Ease
Circle/Artist: Nagucha/Mogura ana gura
Genre: Fate/Stay Night
Pairing: Archer x Rin
Rating: PG-13-ish
Cover:

( So as I pray...Unlimited Scan Works! )

Back:

All in all I'm really pleased with the doujinshi. Between this, Furuba 16, and my new make-up palette I'm in a really good mood right now. Any bits that can be translated would be highly appreciated.Including fic-bribery. ^_____^

Edit: The goddess-like angelinamaxwell made icons using my scans. CHECK THEM OUT.

Got the doujinshi I wanted, so YAYS!!!! Will put up scans once I get it in a week or so. It'll help me feel better about working five days through Spring Break. XP At least the money balms my soul (though sadly not my aching legs).

I've been craving Archer x Rin in a seriously disturbing way (and I was bored), so I made two more mock motivational posters(scroll over for lame snarky commentary!) just for the hell of it. I hope we get some entries in fsn_fiction's April Challenge soon...I'm going through withdrawal here. I'm planning on writing my own anyway, but still, seeing stuff from other people (especially Archer x Rin, duh) always makes me happy.

( At the risk of sounding like the world's most vapid heiress...that's hot.*is shot, and rightfully so* )

And here's my "thanks for putting up with my OTP obessession" mp3. Enjoy!

[Flathead][The Fratellis][DOWNLOAD]

I WANTS IT. I WANTS IT SO BAD. BUT WHY SO EXPENSIVE, SHIPPING? *curses her stupid, not showing up till the 10th paycheck*

I also want this. You know, while I'm whining about shit I want. In my own defense, it is pretty nifty.

And for putting up with my complaining: a seriously beautiful song. If I had to chose an image song for myself, this would be it. I first heard it in a Archer x Rin AMV of all things. The AMV wasn't that great, but I loved the song, so I downloaded it. If it doesn't go through, let me know and I'll try again.

[Boats and Birds][gregoRy & the hawK]-[DOWNLOAD]

This is the most brilliant thing I've seen in a *long* time. Anyone who is even a little Fate/Stay Night or Azumanga Daioh fan should watch it. *pokes fujiwara_san* Even non-fans should watch it, it's that damn funny.

Edit: A full-screen version can be found here.


And my jpqueen order went through. *rubs hands* It's only a matter of time before I see Archer and Rin strolling down the primrose path...so to speak.

AHHHHHHHHH! STUPID JPQUEEN, WHY WON'T YOU LET ME PLACE MY FINAL ORDER? WHY??????? I NEED MY ARCHER x RIN DOUJINSHI FIX, AND I NEED IT NOW, WHILE I STILL HAVE MONEY TO BUY SAID DOUJINSHI!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARRRRGGGGHHH!!!!!!!*headdeskheaddeskheaddeskheaddeskheaddeskheaddeskheaddeskheaddeskheaddesk*

Somebody...help...meeeeee.....
