Almost fit in one post... Almost. And I swear the censored versions of those two pics looked better. :D

from ephemery:

• Anyone who looks at this entry has to post this meme and their current wallpaper on their LiveJournal.


• Don't change your wallpaper before doing this! The point is to see what you had on!

(Old pic is old. Saved it for another site shortly after changing the wallpaper, still using the same now, though, so why make a new screenshot? ^_^)

Well, another big translation finished. Early this morning, actually. And it only took me two sleepless nights... >_> Seriously, I've only slept for three, maximum three and a half hours since Monday morning. Should have worked more over the weekend, I guess, but I can never really make myself do that.

Off to post some reminders for my icontests now, then...

Do not tilt or overturn the carafe, as liquid may flow out.

It was actually painful to translate that... Are there really morons like that out there, without any common sense? After all, there must have been a reason for adding this line...

I'm back! ^_^ Well, already wanted to say this yesterday, but it took me quite a while to catch up with what I missed in the almost two days I was away, and then there was the 3rd episode of DtB2 in sQC. After that I already went home to sleep...

So, abingdon boys school in Helsinki. In one word, loud. As expected, anyway. But yeah, awesome it was. As expected, the choice of songs mirrored the European album, i.e. all singles up to now. Plus something I didn't almost dare to hope but really wanted them to do - From Dusk Till Dawn. That alone was worth the trip (along with Nephilim and Kimi no Uta).

And apparently Christmas has come early this year. Along with the snow I seem to have brought back with me from Finland, it's been raining various packages for me. Wednesday my BioWare shop order finally arrived, yesterday this was waiting for me home as well, and right before I started writing this post I came back from picking up a package containing these two CDs. Life's good (except now there's quite a bit of work for Tuesday). ^_^


edit: Also, forgot to add. Never, ever buy any DVDs they might release for this tour. I don't want my ugly mug to be seen. :P Somehow I also ended up answering some questions on camera while standing in the line. :D

Also, DA:O CE bonus DVD has forever destroyed the Ogre for me. After the outtakes video and Fluffy, I will never be able to take them seriously again... :D

Well, still no Bakemonogatari icons, but everything else (icontests and minor things) is now up at the_silver_key. Probably posting to some communities later as well.

Also, just two days left until abingdon boys school in Helsinki! Anyone else going? ^_^

So, first time I've written anything since... *checks the story tag* February, apparently.

584 words of questionable content with questionable quality, Gundam 00, Saji/Louise, R or possibly NC-17, written for the trick or treat meme on annwyd's request.


Dream

from gakuko and syaokura:

1. Create a graphic (200 x 200 max size) to represent your personal "candy". It should have your username on it, but otherwise can feature whatever you want. Make it something special since it's self-representative.

2. Make a post with the subject "trick or treat?". Put your "candy" somewhere in it, and be sure to repost these instructions.

3. Then, go around other people's LJs and reply to them with either "trick" or "treat". If you reply with "trick", they will give you an LJ dare that you have to perform before taking their candy. If you're too wimpy for that, simply say "treat" and take their candy.

4. List all your collected candies in your original "trick or treat?" post to show off your collection, being sure not to direct-link! feel free to direct link mine!

Serious work overload is serious. Well, nice to get some money, though. But not much time left for anything else. I was hoping to get some icons done last week... No icontest entries at all, and in the two days I found some time at all, the Bakemonogatari icon project got exactly 13 icons done. >_> Remember, I had 125 images from ep. 3. Well, I've made one decision thanks to this, though, which is to switch to the BluRay versions from the next episode on, since I'm this slow anyway. Better quality (and no need to remove the TV channel logo from some icons) is always good.

But yeah, work overload... We actually had to reject some projects last week since we just had no available time or translators for them. Hasn't happened in a long time... Nice to see things picking up again, but too much work isn't good either.


Also, I once again realized something quite terrifying yesterday... I could probably have quite an awesome computer if I hadn't bought all that music in the last year or two. Seriously, the amount of money I've used for that is scary...

So... Less than a month into autumn and guess what's going on outside? Well, apparently it's snowing... o_O

Time to steal another meme, this time from hoshi3:

Admittedly, 25 songs from a playlist of over 8000 tracks doesn't say that much... Or says way too much at times. :D

from grimmy23:

Reply to this post, and I will tell you my favourite icon of yours. Then post this to your own journal using your own favourite icon.

My original Platinum team has finally made a comeback as my active team in Pokémon Platinum. The reason: as of this morning, the whole Emerald team has reached level 100. ^_^

Oh, Bakemonogatari... The icon project that will be the death of me... 140 images, 170 icons for the first episode. 115 and 120 for the second. And now I finished saving screencaps for the third. 125 images this time... When will I ever get the time to actually make the icons? :D
