Hey,

Well, I went and did it, even though I probably shouldn't have! I went ahead and bought Inuyasha Perfect Collection 3, Volume 26 of the manga, and the second volume of Ranma today. (In my defense, Ranma has been on back order the past month up through volume 5, so when I saw a chance to actually BUY, I did). I know I shouldn't when I need to save money for various things, but that's all I'm buying this month. (I promise! For REAL this time!). It'll be nice to have another Ranma volume for my bedtime reading routine, too. I finished the first volume and pouted because I couldn't continue on anymore. But when I get my new manga, I can! YAY.

I have been resting since yesterday. I only think it's fair as I was up from 3 AM until midnight with one short hour long nap in the afternoon. That doesn't mean I wasn't productive by any means, however. I have the next seven chapters of Journey sketched out (including the one I'm currently writing), the second song for "Songs of Faith and Devotion" picked out (It's Halo if you're interested), a drabble in mind for week 89, and a couple ideas floating about for the "Games" series. I'll be making various notes on everything while working on the chapter for Journey. My beta would be terribly upset with me if I didn't put that first on the writing docket! Thus far it's not going too badly, either. And, if I can find time and energy, I might actually edit a couple of my original pieces. We shall see.

While I'm talking about my stories, I'd like to thank

quirkyslayer for nominating "Songs of Faith and Devotion" for Best Angst at the Feudal Association. "Journey" has also been nominated for Best Characterization for Inuyasha. I still would like to know WHO nominated it for that, as the post that contains that information is not there. I just want to know! I won't bite you if you did. I'm happy! If you would like to know what else I have eligible, check this post for more information. It has everything you need to know.

I am also going to spend time this week on my resume, putting it in the new format and seeing what that looks like. I will be able to email it to the career services people and they'll work with me that way, so I don't necessarily HAVE to go in and make an appointment every time. I will also be contacting a few more professors and what have you to see what prospects they might know about. I am feeling a little more confident in my job search after talking to the career services. It's a long ways from really being truly underway, but I am hoping I'll at least have an opportunity to FIND something that will be a bit more suited for me. One can hope, right?

Well, that's about all for now. I better get going so I can work on all those things, right?

Until next time,
