9:07p | WOO-HOO! LOOK AT MY NEW JOURNAL HEADER ARTWORK! JUST LOOK AT IT! IT WAS DONE BY THE INCOMPARABLE MASTEROFMERCURY AND IT IS THE MOST AWESOMEST THING EVER EVER EVER! I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO USE IT AND TONIGHT I ASKED IF I COULD AND SHE SAID YES AND I AM HAPPY CONCEPT, HAPPY, HAPPY CONCEPT! It is so awesome, in fact, that when she gave me permission to use it I promptly flailed and knocked over my tequila--three times. I'm so happy it's not even funny. It's even better than seeing a house I liked. For serious. That says something about my priorities, but what the hell. It's so pretty it could even go with For a Reasonable Fee or Comes at a Cost. This is the happiest day EVAR. Now go read Naughty Girl. It's the teeny ficlet I did a few years ago for this pic. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! | ||

11:24p | Oh, jeez. I just got hit with a silly idea for a follow up in my Pink!verse. I wonder if I can sustain it? It would be short, but I think I may need to write it. More flamingo!Harry! :D Super silly fun. | ||

12:29p | I seem to have misplaced my fannish monogamy Wow, that "Buffy vs. Edward" vid I stumbled upon a while ago has triggered a veritable avalanche of fannish obsessions... First, it sucked me into all things "Buffy" (and subsequently, "Angel") to an almost unhealthy degree. Then I came across the rumour that David Boreanaz is actually capable of getting through a whole TV episode without whining if he's not in Wheydonverse, so I went to check out "Bones". What can I say? I'm halfway through season 4 at this point, and I'm seriously hooked. Diehard vampire fan that I've always been, I still have to admit that some actors obviously work better without fangs. In other news, I've got myself an "Archive of Our Own" account, but the uploading process is a right pain in the ass, so I'll probably wait until some of the bugs get sorted out. And now back to that fest fic... *eyes deadline* Current Mood:  cheerful | ||

9:41p | Oh my God, why the hell do I suddenly have Green Jelly's song "Three Little Pigs" stuck in my head? That's gotta be a sign of impending psychosis. *off to answer comments* | ||

10:08p | Anime rec: Piano no Mori
My notes: I must say it at the very beginning that contrary to my usual way of getting familiar with a new animanga, I haven't read the manga this time. I only watched the anime, so please take into account that everything I'll be saying is only about the anime. This is a pleasant story: while not action/adventure, it has enough plot to keep your attention, especially around the climax. The boys are likeable. Kai's pretty wild and brash but also kind and has this inner purity and honesty that sometimes accompany raw talent and that influence people around him. I liked his practical reasons for learning things. He can't read score; he plays what he has heard. Once he found that he couldn't reproduce a particular piece of Chopin's, he plays scales to learn to play this particular piece, not because one must learn scales first, nor to become a good pianist in general. And so on. I absolutely adored his literal-mindedness about Mozart. The crowd of Mozarts made me laugh every time they appeared. In other words, Kai is lovely and very refreshing. Shuuhei is a bit more boring because he's very straight-laced for a boy his age and he plays the piano for all the wrong reasons, but doesn't it often happen this way? The two boys meet and gradually change each other. The best about their relationship, as for me, was the ways it didn't go. I can't say much more here but I liked how the dramatic side of it was downplayed rather than milked for all it's worth. It makes Piano no Mori a soothing story. I think animation and drawing are good. I hear that the main problem people have with the manga is the drawing style. Am not able to say anything about that yet but I can't see what's not to like in the anime, if to speak of the visual side. It's neither cheap nor banal, and it's the only anime so far where a character playing the piano didn't make me cringe. This leads me to why I give it only one star if I like everything. Not quite everything, as it turns out. You see, it's piano this and piano that, piano this and piano that. In more coherent speak, the story is fine and lovely but, I don't know, very narrow. Not unlike Hikaru no Go. But HnG was much more emotionally affecting and the story was much bigger than just about Go in the end. It sort of turned me inside out, made me live it for months. Here somehow I didn't have the impression that the story is bigger than the main theme. Pleasant? Yes. Interesting? Yes, enough. Can I relate? Nope. Apart from that, I repeat, it's a lovely story. I doubt you'd regret spending 1.5 hours on it, so give it a try! *Sorry if you have seen some (a lot) of this post before. I accidentally posted the draft :/ | ||

9:28a | AO3 I'm now Abstractconcept on an Achive of Our Own for the beta stages. (If you want an account there, put in your email address and they will send you one when it becomes available. I only had to wait a couple of days. Of course, right now it's in testing, not yet a sleek and perfect archive). There are only a few things I'm confused about so far. The warnings they have are not really enough, so one person suggested using tags to supplement, which I've been doing. I'm just not sure if I'm sort of abusing the tags. I'm trying to use them to suggest the flavor of my story. But I think the suggestion that we use them for warnings makes me feel like maybe I shouldn't put things in there willy-nilly. I only use a few tags per fic, though. At any rate, I'll follow the discussion as it continues to happen. My ONLY other real complaint is that it's great with formatting my html from other sites--except for scene breaks. My oOoOoOos never stay centered, so I unfailingly have to go in and put the html for that. But I haven't figured out if this is a problem on my end--I tend to code strangely or forget certain things. So I need to look into that. Other than that, it seems pretty good. I haven't had a lot of time to play with it--only about an hour, in which I uploaded five fics. I love that it can pretty much code for me (GOD, how I love that) and I love that you can break things into chapters if you want, but it can also handle large fics. I'm curious to see how it will work out feedback-wise. That's one of the main things I like about journal sites as opposed to archives--journals foster conversation and feedback MUCH better than archives do. But I do like having somewhere to keep all my stuff and so far this is pretty slick, though there's room for improvement in the warnings. Of course, playing with it helps you figure lots of things out--you can put notes in as well, so you could also put warnings there. No big deal. And it does your wordcount for you! Isn't that fun? :D I'll play with it more tonight if I have a chance. I want to search other people and fics and things and see how that works. | ||

12:44a | Music: Japanese: J-Rock Part 3 of my Japanese music favourites. Today's topic is J-Rock. As usual, some songs are more rocky than others and the range is from Speed Metal to Pop-rock to anything I've found similar enough or fitting, with a generous dash of anime music and some hip-hop. It just means that on the whole, today's selection is gloomier and heavier than the two before it. I've shared three of these songs with you already but not the rest of them. Files are uploaded to Box.net, which means that you can listen to them before/as well as download(ing). Box.net tends to mess up the sequence of the uploaded files, so I've added links to each song as well as to the folder. I did make it with the proper sequence in mind, so that one song flows into the other smoothly. But in any case, hope you like a few of them! So, with thanks to lyssaphra and kyuuketsukirui for sharing music with me, on to the music!*Nitemare and Nightmare is the same band.

7:01p | Happy birthday to my BFF: music: Japanese: J-Pop On the occasion of my best friend wieder's birthday, here's part 2 of my Japanese music favourites. Today's topic is J-Pop. Of course the selection can be called J-Pop only very approximately. It wouldn't be me if I didn't include some rock into a pop selection and some Chinese and Taiwanese music into a Japanese one. Consistency is overrated :) There are two songs that aren't Japanese, quite a few that has lots of English lyrics, and as for genres, well, genres are fluid things. It just means that on the whole, today's selection is more bouncy than the one that is to be posted tomorrow or the one from yesterday's. There's also a lot of fantabulous anime music here. One song title looks beyond weird but this is what was in the tags when I got it. Files are uploaded to Box.net, which means that you can listen to them before/as well as download(ing). Box.net tends to mess up the sequence of the uploaded files, so I've added links to each song as well as to the folder. I did make it with the proper sequence in mind, so that one song flows into the other smoothly. But in any case, hope you like some of them! So, with thanks to lyssaphra and kyuuketsukirui for sharing music with me, and with best wishes to wieder, on to the music!Song title Length Singer Album (where it was already in the tags) Get Over 5:16 dream BEST OF HIKARU NO GO Bokura no Bouken 3:55 Kids Alive BEST OF HIKARU NO GO Byakuya ~True Light~ (Full Version) 4:16 Miyamoto Shunichi D.N.

1:23a | Music: Enka On the occasion of my best friend wieder's upcoming birthday, here's some music. Today's topic is Enka. I love Enka. Well, not all of it. Not even most of it, but what I love, I love to bits and pieces. Box.net tends to mess up the sequence of the uploaded files, so I've added links to each song as well as to the folder. I did make it with the proper sequence in mind, so that one song flows into the other smoothly. But in any case, hope you like a few of them! It wouldn't be me if I didn't include something non-Enka in the Enka selection. There are Files are uploaded to Box.net, which means that you can listen to them before/as well as download(ing).
