And more icons no-one cares about (except maybe the KnT ones)

7 x Sasameki Koto
7 x Kimi ni Todoke
4 x Nyan Koi!
3 x Seitokai no Ichizon

A Very Happy Birthday to luxrays!

Sleep now. 7 hours of Baldur's Gate II can be fun, noticing that it's already 3 AM not so much.

And sorry for mixing birthday wishes with other things! I usually try to avoid this, but dead tired now...

What the hell is wrong with the weather here? o_O In October it was snowing. Now it's December and it's... Raining. Every. Single. Day.

Oh, look! More icons!

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 17:26:23 GMT

Somehow adding more music to my CD collection seems to have also resulted in adding more icons to the_silver_key...

42 x Kawada Mami (L'Oiseau bleu and Prophecy PVs)
5 x To Aru Kagaku no Railgun
1 x Seitokai no Ichizon

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? ^_^)

Brain Shutting Down...

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:31:35 GMT

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...

Coffee Makers for Idiots

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...

A Very Happy Birthday to ryua!

Now I've Lost It

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 08:56:40 GMT

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

7 x Shakugan no Shana
6 x Little My Maid
5 x To Aru Kagaku no Railgun
4 x Seitokai no Ichizon

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.

Trick or Treat - Halloween meme

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 21:12:33 GMT

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!

My Candy Collection

I'm sure I had more to say, but I never remember...

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...
